Heavy Vehicle Servicing

Here at Bendigo Truck Centre, we know how important it is to keep your vehicle operating with minimal downtime.

That’s why our expert team of technicians are standing by to work with you to create a care plan tailored to your vehicle- using the latest diagnostic tools, we can identify any potential issues, and perform preventative maintenance to ensure your vehicle spends the minimum time in the shop for repairs, and the maximum time out on the road.

Your suspension is also responsible for maximising the grip that your tyres exert on the road surface, so poor suspension will increase your stopping distance.

Here at Bendigo Truck Centre, our expert technicians can help you with:

• Wheel Alignment
• Shocks, Springs & Struts
• Wheel Balancing
• Bushing Replacement

Air Conditioning Repairs

Your truck’s cabin is your primary workplace, second apartment, and home office. You spend so much time in there that any issues with your cabin’s climate control are escalated from a nuisance to legitimate drop in quality of life.

Bendigo Truck Centre can fully repair your truck’s air conditioning, starting by replacing faulty compressors, condensers and evaporators, then swapping out any cracked tubes and seals, and finally recharging your system with refrigerant gas once we’re certain it’s airtight.

Roadworthy Certificates & Other Inspections

Whenever you’re planning to sell, buy, gift, or otherwise transfer ownership of a vehicle, before it can be registered in the new owners name, it must obtain a roadworthy certificate. This certificate, is issued by a licensed tester, after a thorough inspection that ensures your vehicle meets the safety standards to be legally driven on Victorian roads.

A Roadworthy check does not inspect for the general health of the vehicle, just ensuring it is not an immediate danger to drive. For this reason, if you’re thinking of buying a secondhand vehicle, we would recommend bringing it in for a pre-purchase inspection, so you can know exactly what you’re buying.

Before a long road trip, we would urge you to bring your vehicle in for a pre-trip inspection –  this way any issues with your vehicle are discovered in a workshop, rather than out in the middle of nowhere.

Bendigo Truck Centre is a licensed testing station, and can help you with:

• Roadworthy Certificates
• Pre-purchase Inspections
• Pre-trip Inspections
