Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even know there is a clutch in your vehicle. But without it, the gears in your car will not change. Carrington Street Auto Repairs in Adelaide know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below. What is a clutch? 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. What is clutch fluid? 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 Carrington Street Auto Repairs in Adelaide 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.
 What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing You should have your clutch looked at if: 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 There is jerky or sticky gear operation 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 us at Carrington Street Auto Repairs today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Adelaide workshop.

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

NexDrive - Vehicle Servicing for EVs, Hybrids and Petrol Cars in Adelaide CBD

Just because your EV doesn’t need oil changes doesn’t mean it doesn’t need expert care. Electric vehicles (EVs) are quickly becoming a common sight on Adelaide roads. Sleek, quiet, and efficient, they’re changing the way we think about driving—and about car maintenance. But here’s a myth we hear all the time:
“EVs don’t need servicing.”
That’s not quite true. While electric cars are simpler in some ways, they still require specialist care—and not every workshop is qualified to deliver it.
 At Carrington Street Auto Repairs,  we’re proud to be part of Repco’s NexDrive network, which means we’re fully certified and equipped to service your EV—safely, professionally, and in line with manufacturer requirements. EVs Are Different—But Not Maintenance-Free It’s true that EVs have fewer moving parts than internal combustion engines. You won’t need spark plugs or oil changes—but there are still plenty of components that need regular attention to keep your EV safe and reliable.
Common EV servicing tasks include: Battery health checks and thermal management inspections Brake system checks (especially regenerative braking systems) Suspension, steering, and tyre wear monitoring High-voltage safety inspections Cooling system maintenance for battery and electronics Air conditioning servicing and cabin filter replacement And of course, like any modern vehicle, EVs rely heavily on software and sensors, which means diagnostic scanning and occasional system updates are part of good maintenance. We’re NexDrive Certified—Here’s What That Means Carrington Street Auto Repairs is a Repco Authorised Service centre and part of NexDrive, Australia’s leading independent EV servicing network. This means: Our technicians have undergone specialised EV training We have the tools to work safely with high-voltage systems We understand manufacturer specifications and follow them closely We can help protect your new car warranty by using approved parts and procedures Your EV is covered by the Repco nationwide warranty So you get dealership-level expertise with the friendly service and transparency of a trusted local workshop. Stay Safe, Stay Serviced EVs are incredibly reliable—but skipping servicing can still cause problems. For example: Brake pads can wear unevenly due to regenerative braking Tyres can degrade faster due to increased torque Cabin air filters can become clogged Cooling systems can overheat Software or sensor faults may go unnoticed until they create performance or safety issues Routine inspections help identify these issues early—before they affect your safety or lead to costly repairs.
