with Expert Car Servicing and Maintenance at Rotech Automotive Devonport

Your vehicle is made up of thousands of moving parts that work under heat, pressure, vibration, and changing road conditions. Over time, oils break down, filters clog, tyres wear, and components naturally age.

Routine servicing helps to:

Maintain braking and steering performance

Detect issues early before they become expensive repairs

Keep your vehicle safer for everyday driving

A regularly serviced vehicle often uses less fuel because the engine runs more efficiently with clean oil, fresh filters, and correctly adjusted systems.

At Rotech Automotive Devonport, every service begins with a comprehensive safety inspection. This allows our technicians to identify concerns before any maintenance work is carried out.

We inspect key areas including:

Comprehensive Safety Inspection Before Every Service

Oil, coolant, brake fluid and other fluid levels

If any issues are found, we’ll explain them clearly and advise you before proceeding.

If you no longer have your vehicle log book, servicing can still be completed correctly. Our team can access manufacturer recommended service schedules and service intervals to ensure your vehicle receives the right maintenance at the right time.

This means you can still protect your car, maintain reliability, and stay up to date with scheduled servicing even without the original handbook.

Depending on your vehicle age, mileage, and manufacturer requirements, servicing may include:

Every vehicle is different, so servicing is matched to your car’s requirements.

Ignoring these warning signs can lead to larger mechanical issues.

Tips to Help Prevent Problems Between Services

Dirty engine oil doesn’t just lubricate less effectively—it can also trap contaminants that slowly act like abrasive particles inside the engine. Fresh oil helps reduce internal wear and maintain efficiency.

Car Servicing and Maintenance in Devonport | Rotech Automotive Devonport

Brake fluid plays a crucial role in the safety of your vehicle by transferring the pressure you apply to the brake pedal to the actual brakes. Without it, your brakes simply wouldn’t function, and as everyone knows, a car without brakes is incredibly dangerous. Even slightly compromised brakes can pose a serious risk.

Brake fluid has a tendency to absorb moisture over time, which can compromise its effectiveness. Brake systems generate high temperatures, and brake fluid is specifically designed to have a high boiling point to prevent it from evaporating. However, when too much moisture builds up, the boiling point is lowered, making the fluid more prone to boiling under heat. This can lead to reduced brake fluid levels, ultimately affecting your vehicle’s braking performance and increasing stopping distances.

Why Is Brake Fluid Replacement Necessary?

In addition to reducing effectiveness, moisture-contaminated brake fluid can lead to corrosion within the braking system. Over time, this can damage components such as the callipers, wheel cylinders, and anti-lock braking systems (ABS). Regular replacement helps to extend the lifespan of these parts and maintain optimal braking performance.

Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it actively absorbs moisture from the surrounding environment, even through microscopic openings in the brake system. This is why regular maintenance is essential to ensure safety.

Your vehicle’s manufacturer will specify how often the brake fluid should be replaced—typically outlined in the logbook service schedule. At Rotech Automotive Devonport, we recommend replacing it every two years as a general guideline. However, it’s equally important to have it checked during each routine service. A professional mechanic can assess the moisture content in the fluid and check for any leaks or other signs of wear that might require earlier attention.

How Often Should Brake Fluid Be Replaced?

Yes, at Rotech Automotive Devonport, we provide a comprehensive 65-point vehicle inspection upon request with every full service. This includes a detailed review of your brake fluid, master cylinder, front and rear discs and pads, callipers, cylinders, and more. Our expert mechanics will assess the condition of your braking system and notify you if the brake fluid needs replacing or if any additional brake system repairs or maintenance are required. Regular checks can catch problems early, ensuring your safety on the road.

Maintaining your brake fluid is an essential part of car ownership, and neglecting it could lead to costly repairs or, worse, compromised safety. If you’re due for a brake fluid replacement or simply want peace of mind, book a service with Rotech Automotive Devonport in Devonport. Our team will make sure your braking system is in top condition, so you can drive with confidence.

Learn why brake fluid is essential for your vehicle’s safety, how it works, and why regular maintenance by Rotech Automotive Devonport is crucial for optimal braking performance and to prevent costly repairs.

Brake Fluid: What It Is and Why It Matters

Brake Fluid: What Is It and Why Do You Need It?

Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even be aware that there is a clutch in your vehicle. Without it, the gears in your car will not change.

Rotech Automotive Devonport in Devonport know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below.

The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to spin, but what happens when your car needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop spinning but the wheels need to. It's the clutch that allows this to happen. The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run.

Some vehicles have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. Leaking clutch fluid can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At Rotech Automotive Devonport in Devonport we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you in the course of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection - which you can request as part of every car service.


You should have your clutch inspected if:

What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing

You notice a burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle

Your vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason

Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering

If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it could mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine. The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is contact your local mechanics at Rotech Automotive Devonport today.

We can perform clutch diagnostics, service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Devonport workshop.

The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation.
