The braking system cannot work to its maximum performance if the tyres are worn or otherwise unsuitable for the car or type of driving you undertake. You should have your wheels and tyres checked by a professional on a regular basis to ensure the safety, comfort and reliability of your vehicle in addition to the life span of your tyres. If you are experiencing unusual vibrations, poor handling of the vehicle, have problems keeping tyres at the correct pressure, have low tyre tread or can see obvious damage to your tyres, you should probably have your tyres checked by experts such as the service team from Carrington Street Auto Repairs. New tyres, a wheel alignment and wheel balancing go hand in hand to ensure good handling and maximising the expected lifespan of your new tyres. Carrington Street Auto Repairs are experts at inspecting and maintaining tyres and related components and can give you good advice on purchasing the correct tyres for your car or if you would benefit from any other wheel related service or repairs.

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. We’re Your EV Servicing Experts in the Adelaide CBD Located right in the heart of the city, Carrington Street Auto Repairs offers convenient, certified EV servicing with: Online booking Clear explanations and honest advice Genuine care from a team that’s proud to stay ahead of the curve Whether you drive a Tesla, BYD, Nissan Leaf, or hybrid SUV, we’re here to help you get the most out of your vehicle—today and into the future.

I bugged them with questions and concerns and came away confident and re-assured. Highly recommend, if you want good old values, not often experienced these days.

Carrington Street Auto have always fulfilled this requirement! Daniel on Google I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who is looking for honesty, reliability and experience. We have a few cars in our family from old to near new. The owner and staff of Carrington Street Auto Repairs fixed our vehicle that went to 3 other workshops who robbed our money, but didn't fix our issue. Our new car is under manufacturers warranty and not only did they service and stamped my log book, but found an issue with a recall and alerted me on a safety issue and guided me in the right direction. YES, I would highly recommend this Adelaide workshop! Julia on Google Best and most honest vehicle service I have ever experienced! Paula on Google 

Our customers know they can rely on Carrington Street Auto Repairs to look after their vehicles.

Log Book Servicing is a proactive approach to car maintenance where regular inspections and small fixes keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently to prevent small problems turning into major damage and issues which could otherwise be very costly to repair. Every passenger car (and most commercials vehicles) should be issued with a “Log Book” by the manufacturer, which lays out the specified timing and agenda for your regular log book services. You should keep your log book in your glove box for reference and recording any details, but Carrington Street Auto Repairs can also refer to our database to get the required information if you've misplaced your book. The schedule of the service will be a combination of both time or distance. You may be tempted to delay your next log book service because your car is probably still driveable and it may not have reached BOTH the time and distance measures. While you obviously need to find availability in your budget and schedule, don't delay too long because wear and tear on the car will increase exponentially and could lead to damage which is many times more expensive than the log book service would have been. What's included? Every car is different and the agenda for each service changes according to the schedule, which is why each vehicle is issued with a log book. Here are some examples of what might be included in a typical log book service: Change Oil Check Coolant Check Car Battery Check Transmission Fluid Check Brake Fluid Check the Condition of the Air Filter Check Power Steering Fluid Check Spark Plugs Check Turn Signals Check Brake Lights Check Heating System Brake Check Belt Check Hose Check Tyre Rotation Coolant Sensor  For a qualified Log Book Service at a competitive price, contact us at Carrington Street Auto Repairs, conveniently located in the Adelaide CBD. We can easily service customers in the Eastern Suburbs and the surrounding areas.
