Give your high-kilometre car the attention it needs

If your car is using more fuel, making unfamiliar noises or showing a warning light, it can be difficult to know what needs attention. Waiting until something breaks can leave you facing bigger repairs rather than planned maintenance.

Frankton Automotive shapes servicing around your vehicle’s make, model, mileage and manufacturer requirements. The right oil, filters and scheduled checks help support efficient running and vehicle longevity, without a one-size-fits-all service menu.

With local trust built since 1983, the workshop combines hands-on experience with clear communication. If an unexpected issue is found, you receive an explanation and repair estimate before extra work begins, followed by a detailed invoice showing the work completed.

A service schedule that reflects how you drive

How often should a high-mileage car be serviced? A general guideline is every 10,000 km or once a year, whichever comes first. Frankton Automotive also considers manufacturer requirements and how the vehicle is used, with shorter intervals recommended for heavy use, towing or regular mountain driving.

What is included depends on the car, rather than a fixed service tier. Oil requirements, filter changes and scheduled checks are matched to the vehicle, so you understand what is needed. Brake and safety checks, cooling system attention and winter health checks can also be discussed for an older car.

Understand the fault before deciding on repairs

Warning lights, overheating and unusual noises need investigation rather than guesswork. Frankton Automotive starts with what you have noticed, then uses inspection, testing and diagnostic scanning where needed. Older and classic vehicles benefit from hands-on mechanical fault-finding, with trusted local specialists available for complex electronic issues.

Once the likely cause is identified, repair options, priorities and costs are explained before work begins. Genuine parts are used where required, while quality aftermarket or suitable second-hand options can be discussed where appropriate, helping you make an informed decision about your car.
