Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are the signs that my vehicle's suspension or steering system needs repairs?

A: Signs that your suspension or steering system may require repairs include uneven tyre wear, excessive bouncing or swaying while driving, difficulty steering, or a vibrating steering wheel. If you experience any of these symptoms, it's important to have your vehicle inspected by Markden Auto Repair to diagnose and address the issue promptly.

Q: How often should I replace my vehicle's tyres?

A: In Australia, the lifespan of tyres varies depending on factors such as driving habits, road conditions, and maintenance. As a general guideline, it's recommended to replace your tyres every 60,000 to 80,000 kilometers or every 5 to 7 years. Additionally, when inspecting your tyres, consider replacing them when the tread depth reaches 1.6 millimeters, which is the legal minimum requirement. Regular inspections for signs of wear and damage can help determine when replacement is necessary to ensure your safety on the road.
