Ignition problems?

When your car will not start, it can be heartbreaking. This never seems to come at a good time either; it always seems to happen when people have somewhere to be. When you have to get back on the road and back on with your day, you need a mechanic in Sumner you can trust.

Without the ignition system the vehicle will not turn on. When there is an issue with your ignition turn to Mr Spanners Automotive for the following reasons:

  • Great Value: As part of the Repco family we have access to the spare parts network. We can find everything from spark plug wires to new compression chamber within your budget.
  • Top Mechanics: Repco is known for making sure that all of their service centre mechanics have the latest trainings and know how to use the latest diagnostic tools.

Common ignition issues
Our clients visit us for a myriad of reasons. From an alternator which will not catch to a car which will not start, there are several things which can go wrong with the ignition system such as:

  • Wear and Tear: The battery, spark plugs, distributer cap and wires will not last forever. Replacement of these items at regular intervals prevents larger ignition issues.
  • Weak Ignition: When spark plugs need to be replaced it is usually not all of them at once. A misfire will cause a weak startup of the car and is your red flag that service will be needed soon.
  • Battery Issues: A battery can wear out or become corroded. We have the tools to clean and test battery life.
  • Coil Wire is Frayed: When the charge is not carried to the spark plugs, the ignition fails to catch and the coil wire must be replaced.

Our workshop is located in Sumner and we also serve many customers in the surrounding areas including; Jindalee, Sumner Park, Mt Ommaney, River Hills, Middle Park, Jamboree Heights, Oxley, Darra, Forest Lake, Richlands, Inala, Wacol, Carol Park, Durack, Galies, Goodna and Seventeen Mile Rocks./p>
