Ultra Tune Bowen Hills

Logbook servicing, brakes and mechanical repairs at Ultra Tune Bowen Hills

​

Ultra Tune Bowen Hills is a family owned car service centre at 1/19 Taylor Street, Bowen Hills, on the inner northern edge of Brisbane, Queensland, handling servicing, maintenance and mechanical repairs across all makes and models. It is owned and operated by Ross Thompson, who has owned and run Ultra Tune centres for more than 15 years and has spent longer than that working in vehicle servicing. The centre is set up as a general workshop, so a car can go in for a routine service, a repair, tyres or an inspection without being sent elsewhere for the next job.

​

What does a logbook service cover here?

​

Logbook servicing is carried out to the vehicle manufacturer's schedule, which keeps a new car's warranty valid while the work is done at Bowen Hills. The team records the service against the logbook, uses the specified parts and oils, and reports on anything found along the way, so owners of vehicles still inside their warranty period can keep their servicing on schedule.

​

What mechanical repairs and maintenance do they handle?

​

Brakes are a regular part of the workload, from inspections through to pad, disc and hydraulic repairs, and the same applies to suspension and shock absorbers. Air conditioning is serviced and repaired in the workshop under their refrigerant handling authorisation, batteries are tested and replaced, and general repairs and diagnostic work cover the faults that come up between services. Petrol and diesel vehicles are both looked after.

​

Can they sort tyres, wheels and alignment?

​

Tyres and wheels are supplied and fitted at the centre, with a range of sizes and brands to suit most vehicles on the road. Wheel alignment and balancing are done using their alignment equipment, which is worth pairing with new tyres or after suspension work.

​

Do they do safety certificate inspections?

​

Yes. Queensland safety certificate inspections are available at Bowen Hills, and the inspection also gives the owner a report on the overall mechanical condition of the vehicle, which is useful when a car is about to be sold or transferred.

​

What can fleets and work vehicles expect?

​

Businesses running work utes, vans and small fleets around inner Brisbane use the centre for scheduled servicing, repairs and inspections, with the same logbook and safety certificate work applied to commercial vehicles. Qualifying services also come with 12 months of roadside assistance, which is a practical addition for a vehicle that spends its week on the road.

​

From a first logbook service to brakes, tyres and safety certificates, Ultra Tune Bowen Hills covers the ongoing care of cars and work vehicles in this part of Brisbane.
