Understanding Our Service Packages
Possum Bourne Motorsport is committed to servicing your vehicle in strict accordance with the manufacturer's recommended specifications. However, we go a step further by taking into account your vehicle's specific requirements, especially if it's been modified or is intended for track use. Our standard, comprehensive service offering is the 'PBMS Spec Service', a detailed programme designed to maintain your vehicle's optimal condition and performance.
The PBMS Spec Service: A Deep Dive
The PBMS Spec Service is our benchmark for excellence, a thorough examination and maintenance procedure that leaves no stone unturned. This package includes:
- Comprehensive Vehicle Inspection: We conduct an exhaustive inspection covering all aspects of your vehicle. This includes checking the operation of all lights, windscreen wipers and washers, battery electrolyte levels and terminals, drive belts, the cooling system, power steering system, fuel system, steering and suspension components, tyres, driveshafts, brake systems, the exhaust system, wheel bearings, air filter, pollen filter, and all powertrain components.
- Performance and Drivability Assessment: A crucial part of our service is a test drive conducted by our experienced technicians. This allows us to assess the engine's performance and overall drivability, the smooth operation of the transmission, the effectiveness of the braking system, the responsiveness of the steering, and to identify any unusual noises or operational anomalies.
- Essential Replacements: We replace the engine oil and oil filter, along with the oil sump washer, using high-quality fluids and parts that meet or exceed manufacturer standards.
- Lubrication and Fluid Top-Ups: We adjust the park brake as required, lubricate essential hinges and locks to ensure smooth operation, and top-up all vehicle fluids, meticulously checking for any signs of leaks.
- Tyre Rotation: Wheels are rotated as necessary to promote even tyre wear and extend tyre life.
- Recommendations for Future Work: Based on the comprehensive inspection, we provide clear and concise recommendations for any further repairs or maintenance that may be required to keep your vehicle in top condition.
