Brakes

When driving a truck or heavy vehicle on Victorian freeways, stopping power is essential when it comes to the safe driving and control of your vehicle. Without a properly functioning braking system on your vehicle, a serious accident could occur should traffic conditions rapidly change.

Here at LRM Diesel Services our team of expert mechanics understand the importance of an efficiently working brake system on your heavy vehicle. For this reason, we strongly suggest that during an annual inspection, the brakes are checked for any repairs or replacement needs.

For all component replacement (pads, drums, rotors, etc.), machining or hose repairs, please get in contact with our team today!

Steering and Suspension

The steering and suspension system on your vehicle are highly important, as when working together they act to control the direction your truck, trailer or heavy vehicle is driving in.

However, without a well-maintained steering and suspension system on your vehicle, a dangerous situation could arise when out driving on the road. Which could include vibrations and feedback in the steering column or even worse, severe drift to the left side of the road.

For all shocks, springs and bushing replacement, please give our expert mechanics a call today!

Exhaust Repairs and Replacement

Truck and heavy vehicles often emit a large amount of diesel fumes due to their size and the nature of the long-haul work which they are often tasked with. However, to ensure safe driving when out on the freeways of Victoria, it’s vital that the exhaust system correctly works as designed.

Which can be achieved by having your truck or heavy vehicle regularly serviced by an expert mechanic, who understands the importance of a correctly functioning exhaust system.

Here at LRM Diesel Services, we can inspect your vehicle and make sure that it meets roadworthy standards. Which ensures that you can run your truck on the road without having to worry about any dangers lurking inside the exhaust system.

Clutches and Transmissions

A truck or heavy vehicle’s transmission system is vital for slowing down your vehicle and for changing gears when out on the road hauling freight. However, to maintain optimal revs per minute which your vehicle relies on to move forward, the transmission must be free from any performance issues.

Here at LRM Diesel Services, our highly skilled and professional team of mechanics can assist with a wide range of clutch and transmission services, which include but are not limited to:

• Servicing
• Repairs and replacements
• Manual transmissions
• Automatic transmissions
• Differentials

Cooling System

The engine of your truck or heavy vehicle generates a large amount of heat as it transfers power from the engine and transfers it down to the wheels. This enables you to power your vehicle forward and arrive at your destination in quickest and safest amount of time.

However, it’s important to avoid a cracked radiator or even worse a blown engine at all costs. Which can be achieved through the regular maintenance and inspection of your trucks cooling system.

LRM Diesel Services can assist with this as we provide radiator and heater repairs, replacements, head gasket inspections, coolant flushing and thermostat diagnostics.

For all bookings, please give us a call today!

Auto Electrical

Modern heavy vehicles and trucks come with a complex auto electrical system, that is designed to control a wide range of electronics. However, often through no fault of your own errors in the auto electrical wiring system can develop. Which will need an expert mechanic to diagnose using sophisticated diagnostic tools.

Here at LRM Diesel Services, our workshop is equipped to carry out auto electrical inspections on trucks, heavy vehicles and trailers. Which is done through providing customers with diagnostic scans, component replacements and testing of the battery, alternator and wiring.

For all auto electrical inspections of your heavy vehicle, trailer or truck, please get in contact with us today!

Tyres

The tyres which are fitted to your heavy vehicle, truck or agricultural equipment must be correctly aligned and free from any balding patches. However, if this is not the case, being off the road while the wheels are re-aligned, patched or replaced could be a costly experience.

Here at LRM Diesel Services, our team of mechanics understand that being off the road wastes valuable time and can cost your business money through lost revenue.

To book your vehicle in at our workshop or for more information about the best tyres for your make and model of heavy vehicle. Please get in touch with our team today!

Windscreens

The windscreen on your truck, heavy or agricultural vehicle relies on the front windscreen to protect the vehicle occupants from the outside elements.

Designed to meet Australian standards, the windscreen has been constructed from durable and strengthened glass. Which is important as when you drive along the roads of Dandenong South, the windscreen stops rubbish and debris which can be flicked up from the road.

However, small chips which might be in your window but not effect your vision, can become more dangerous cracks if not taken care of in a timely manner.

At LRM Diesel Services, our expert team can inspect your truck or heavy vehicle windscreen and repair and dents, cracks or chips and can provide assistance with complete replacement if necessary.

For all windscreen repairs or replacements, please get in contact with us today!
