Automotive Servicing and Repairs in Port Pirie

Thompsons Auto Repairs in Port Pirie are specialists in the recondition of engines to increase their lifespan and reliability rather than replacing them outright.

Over time a car engine undergoes a lot of stress and eventually the main components will begin to wear and fail. Should this happen you are faced with a few choices. You can replace the engine with a new one, with the expense that entails, or it may be possible to have the existing one reconditioned.

Often when your car's main engine components fail or wear out to the point of failure, they can be replaced with new parts or sometimes renewed by machining. While somewhat labour intensive as it involves removing, dismantling, rebuilding and reinstalling the engine, this option usually works out cheaper than buying a whole new engine.

This is because many parts of the engine can be reused, provided of course that they do not affect reliability or performance of the reconditioned engine. We thoroughly check every part to ensure it is fit to be reused. This approach helps us to keep costs down to a reasonable level.

Common components which may need replacement or repair during engine reconditioning

If the cylinders are damaged or excessively worn, they will need re-boring and honing of the cylinders to a slightly larger size and fitting of oversized pistons and rings. Where the crankshaft is damaged or excessively worn, it will require regrinding the crankshaft to a slightly smaller size and fitting undersized main and conrod bearings.

If you want your engine reconditioned, speak with the team at Thompsons Auto Repairs or book online!

Your vehicle has a number of different filters and each one works in a different system in your car. Thompsons Auto Repairs knows those systems inside and out. For servicing in Port Pirie and surrounding suburbs you can count on us.

Quite simply- a filter traps particles which should not be present in, or could do damage to, the system which it filters. Therefore all filters have a lifespan - once they get congested with the particles they are filtering - replacement is a must. Not replacing filters in your car when they need to be changed can lead to expensive breakdowns in some very important parts of your vehicle.

Oil Filter: Cleans the oil and allows it to flow through the engine better
Air Filter: Traps dirt particles which could damage cylinders, walls and pistons
Cabin Air Filter: Keeps pollen, dust and bacteria out of the ventilation system
