There’s nothing worse than hopping into your car on a hot Brisbane day and discovering that your air conditioning isn’t working. Whether it’s blowing warm air, making strange noises, or not turning on at all, the team at Combined Automotive Services in Milton can help…

We specialise in car air conditioning servicing, regas, and repairs for all makes and models (AU55317) – from everyday commuters to European luxury cars. As a Repco Authorised Service Centre, we use industry-leading equipment and techniques to keep your car cool and comfortable all year round.

Your car's air conditioning system doesn’t just cool the cabin — it also helps remove humidity and demist your windows during cooler months. Like any other system in your car, it requires regular maintenance to function properly.

Why Is Car Air Conditioning Servicing Important?

Over time, refrigerant gas naturally leaks from the system, seals dry out, and components like the compressor or condenser can wear down. If left unchecked, small issues can turn into expensive repairs.

We recommend having your car’s air conditioning serviced every 1–2 years to ensure optimal performance and prevent costly breakdowns.

Car AC Regas (Refrigerant Recharge)
We evacuate the system, check for leaks, and refill it with the correct refrigerant gas to manufacturer specifications.

Our Car Air Conditioning Services Include:

Air Conditioning System Diagnosis
Experiencing poor airflow or no cooling? We use advanced diagnostic tools to identify faults with compressors, condensers, TX valves, pressure switches, and more.

Leak Detection & Repairs
If your system is losing gas, we’ll perform a UV dye or nitrogen pressure test to find and fix the leak source quickly.

Cabin Filter Replacement
A dirty cabin filter can restrict airflow and reduce cooling efficiency. We’ll inspect and replace it if needed.

Compressor & Condenser Repairs
If your AC system has suffered a mechanical failure, we can replace worn or damaged components with high-quality parts.

If you’re noticing any of the following, it’s time to book a car air-con inspection:

Premium petrol is always best right? Wrong!

Tired of paying too much for petrol? Did you know by choosing the right fuel for your car you can save money and possibly extend the life of your car?

Petrol is rated using the Research Octane Number or RON such as 91, 95, 98, 100 or even 103. The RON number ranks the fuels resistance to ‘pre-ignition' or firing before it should due to heat from the engine.

Is a higher grade fuel better for my car?
Low-grade fuel doesn't mean low quality - the number determines how much heat and pressure the gasoline can resist before it detonates. Lower grade fuels detonate at lower heat and pressure than higher grades.

Why does it matter what grade of fuel I use?
Petrol engines work by compressing a mixture of fuel and air and igniting it with a spark plug to generate power. If the spark plug hasn't fired and the detonation happens early due to heat and pressure it creates a condition called “knock,” which can damage a motor and reduce power.

Knocking is the sound made as the mix of fuel and air is detonating too early rather than burning smoothly for fuel - which means you aren't getting the most out of your car, or your tank of fuel..

To find out what fuel you need, read your car's manual or check the label on the inside of the fuel filler door. Usually high performance vehicles need a higher octane fuel.

Remember, putting premium petrol in a car that doesn't actually need it, does not make your car faster or perform better, it will just drain your bank account that much faster!

If your car is making any kind of knocking noise you should contact Combined Automotive Services in Milton today.

Did you know by choosing the right fuel for your car you can save money and possibly extend the life of your car...

Tips on choosing the right fuel

There should never be a rumbling, groan or grinding sound coming from the wheels of your car, nor any vibration through the steering wheel (unless of course you are driving over corrugated roads!).

Wheel bearing issues usually come about due to poorly sealed bearings or lack of lubrication. Worn bearings are very dangerous as they can collapse and cause the wheel to detach from the car. They can also cause uneven wear on the tyres, loud noises and vibration in the car. For emergency repairs or regular maintenance, visit us in Milton for the following benefits;

Peace of mind: Not only are we a Repco Authorised Service Centre, but we have a combined 20 years of experience on our team. From large jobs to small, you know you are in good hands with our mechanics.

Ongoing Training: As part of the Repco family, our mechanics are offered training seminars and received service bulletins about the latest diagnostic equipment and vehicle upgrades.

Friendly Service: We are not just a shop, but a locally owned and operated community of mechanics who are looking out for our neighbours.

Repacking and adjustment of wheel bearings (where applicable)

Wheel bearing failure: symptoms and causes

The wheels on your vehicle need to operate in a smooth manner, regardless of surfaces and speeds. When there is damage to the wheel bearings, the drive is no longer smooth as friction will build up. This friction can then break down the wheel bearings and cause wear and tear on the axle.

Combined Automotive Services can give you peace of mind by advising you what is causing the loud noise or vibration in your vehicle. It may be time to come in and see our mechanics if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

Damaged or leaking seal on the wheel bearings

For wheel bearing replacements and routine maintenance in and around Milton contact our team at Combined Automotive Services.

Drive Safer this Winter with a 65 Point Written Vehicle Inspection Report

Our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report is free with every service at Combined Automotive Services in Milton. Our qualified mechanics will visually check over the important safety components of your vehicle and provide you with a written report on the condition of your vehicle. We can then help you understand any safety concerns which may need to be attended so that you can drive safe this winter with Combined Automotive Services and Repco Authorised Service.

While the northern half of australia is enjoying their dry season, the southern half of the country is bracing for a wet winter.

While the northern half of australia is enjoying their dry season, the southern half of the country is bracing for a wet winter.
Some might think this means very different ways to get your car ready for winter; however the essentials of safe winter motoring remain the same. So how do you make sure your car is equipped for safe winter motoring? 

Avoid the painful moment when you switch on the wipers at the first spot of rain and suddenly remember you haven't checked them in months! Constant exposure to the Australian conditions means your wipers will wear out. A good quality wiper blade like Trico is essential to help you see your way clear regardless of the weather. Combined Automotive Services can recommend a wiper blade or assembly that is right for your car.

Fluids and other parts in your car can be effected by cold weather; such as coolants, oils and items such as glow plugs in diesel vehicles. It's essential to get your vehicle regularly serviced by an expert who recognises the correct products and parts to keep your car in peak operating condition. We use high quality NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils and fluids that are designed for Australian conditions.  

Remember to always drive to the conditions. If visibility is poor or the weather is wet - slow down and leave a larger than normal stopping distance between yourself and the vehicle in front. Drive on the safe side and book in today for a service or a 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report.

There are signs that your brakes need inspecting, for example vibrating, spongy or slow responding brake pedal, strange sounds or difficult handling when applying pressure to your brakes. If your car is doing any of these you should get it checked out by a qualified mechanic. Brake inspections form part of our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report, so if you have concerns call us today and book in.

. Now is the time to check that your tyres have plenty of tread left. If your tyres are wearing unevenly, this could indicate that your shock absorbers or some other vital part of your steering and suspension systems are due for service or replacement. Find out more about the components that affect your tyre wear on the links below: 

Driving on tyres that are incorrectly inflated won't only cost you money on additional fuel; it can also impact your stopping ability. You can usually find manufacturers recommendations on a panel inside the driver side door.

Combined Automotive Services qualified mechanics will visually check over the important safety components of your vehicle and provide you with a written report on the condition of your vehicle. We can then help you understand any safety concerns which may need to be attended so that you can drive safe this winter...

Don't let a faulty CV joint or boot cause major issues with your car. Visit Combined Automotive Services for top-notch repairs and replacements at an affordable price. Book now!

The wheels in the vehicle work on a CV joint and boot system. This joint makes it possible for a smooth and controlled amount of friction to be maintained between the transmission and the wheel. Without this system in place you could have issues with getting where you have to be. 

CV Joint and Boot Services from Combined Automotive Services include:

Thompson Constant Velocity Joint Replacement

Common symptoms of cv joint and boot issues

Often when there is an issue with the CV joint and boot in the vehicle it stems from a broken boot. When there is a crack dirt and debris can get in and high efficiency grease can leak out. Our team has the tools and the training to get your vehicle fixed and get you back on the road.

Common issues you may face with CV joint and boots are:

Growling Sound When the Vehicle is in Motion

Many of these issues stem from a broken boot which covers the CV joint or from a broken joint. Our mechanics are experts in their field and will have you back on the road in no time.

When you are facing CV joint and boot issues in Milton, make an appointment with our mechanics at Combined Automotive Services.

CV Joint and Boot Services for a Smooth and Safe Ride - Combined Automotive Services

If your car has been giving you a bumpy ride, the steering is sloppy or the braking distance is longer than normal then it might be time for a new set of tyres.

Old tyres can also contribute to a decrease in fuel efficiency, not to mention the safety concerns.

Bring your car into Combined Automotive Services in Milton and we'll inspect and provide you with a report on how your tyres are wearing, tread depth and whether you need an alignment or balancing. We can also rotate and repair.

You should check your tyre pressure regularly and inflate (deflate) them if necessary.

Check your tyre wear patterns over time to make sure they are wearing at an even rate. If one part of the tyre is wearing much faster than other parts it could seriously reduce the lifetime of your tyres (and the money in your wallet). If your tyres are wearing unevenly, your car might need a wheel alignment.

Avoid driving through construction sites and other areas likely to have hazards that can cause punctures if possible. If it's unavoidable, always make sure you have a spare tyre and tyre changing equipment in your car. If you do happen to get a puncture, get it repaired ASAP so you're not driving around without a spare tyre.

Do not lose your tyre valve cap. If dirt and dust gets into the valve it can stop working and not let any air in or out... or worse, let air out but not in.

Wheel balance refers to how smoothly an individual wheel rotates around its own centre. Unbalanced wheels can cause other parts of your car to wear down faster - such as shock absorbers, struts and steering. If your wheels are not balanced properly it can affect the overall performance and feel of your car. 

Your steering wheel or car vibrates at high speed.

Your tyres have had some rough treatment such as potholes or extremely rough roads. 

Combined Automotive Services are fully equipped to balance your wheels - if you have any concerns, don't hesitate to make a booking today.
