Cambelt Services
Get your cambelt serviced or repaired at our Hamilton workshop to prevent bigger problems because if it breaks, it could be catastrophic for your vehicle. It’s advised to replace it every five years or 100,000 km, whichever comes first. If your cambelt is older than five years, your warranty may not cover damages, regardless of mileage.
Shocks and Suspension
Ignoring worn shock absorbers risks your safety and passengers’ safety, leading to longer stopping distances and potential WOF failure. Our skilled mechanics will check and repair or replace your shocks as needed.
Hybrid Servicing and Repairs
Hybrid vehicles combine petrol engines with electric power for a more eco-friendly option. While theyâre popular for their fuel efficiency and lower emissions, hybrids require regular servicing. Without proper maintenance, they can become inefficient or fail. Regular servicing is essential for the performance, efficiency, and lifespan of your hybrid vehicle.
Our hybrid service includes everything from our regular vehicle service, but weâll also conduct a thorough check of the battery, and clean and replace the battery filter if needed.
Hybrid Battery Replacement
Ultimate Automotive specialises in hybrid battery replacement, accommodating every budget with various options, including aftermarket batteries, authentic replacement batteries, and reconditioned batteries.
Hybrid batteries have a limited number of charge-discharge cycles, and factors like temperature and usage can degrade their performance over time. Reduced battery capacity results in hybrid vehicles losing essential benefits, including electric driving range and fuel efficiency.
