📍 8/61 Wattle Road, Maidstone VIC 3012Suspension Under Constant Load
Regularly carrying tools, stock or equipment means suspension components work harder than a lightly-loaded family car — shocks, springs and bushes wear faster under sustained heavier weight, particularly combined with local road conditions.
Brakes Under Extra Weight
More weight means more stopping distance and more heat generated per stop — pads and rotors on a regularly loaded work vehicle typically need checking more often than the standard interval would suggest.
Tyres Carrying the Load
Correct tyre pressure matters even more on a loaded vehicle — under-inflation combined with extra weight accelerates wear and increases blowout risk. Light commercial-rated tyres, where appropriate for the vehicle, handle sustained load better than standard passenger tyres.
Engine and Transmission Under Stop-Start, Loaded Use
Frequent short trips, loaded driving, and stop-start traffic between job sites is a demanding combination — exactly the kind of use that benefits from the severe service schedule rather than the standard interval.
Scheduling around your workday: We understand a work vehicle off the road is lost income — tell us your schedule constraints when booking, and we'll work to turn simple jobs around same-day where possible.
