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. LM Motors in Townsville 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 LM Motors in Townsville 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 LM Motors today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Townsville workshop.

Looking for premium car, 4WD, 4x4, caravan or camping batteries for sale, testing or replacement? Then look no further than LM Motors in Townsville, where we prioritise the power needs of your vehicle. Recognising Battery Issues in Cold Weather A frequent problem during winter is battery failure. Why does this happen? Cold temperatures affect the chemical reactions within a battery, reducing its charge capacity. As it gets colder, the battery's capacity drops, and your engine demands more power to start due to thicker oil. This combination often leads to battery failures, highlighting the need for a battery that can withstand cold conditions. Finding the Perfect Battery Solution At LM Motors, we get it. We can order in and install the ideal battery for any vehicle, whether it's a car, 4x4, pickup truck, van, caravan, or camping setup. Testing Batteries Over Three Years Old Batteries tend to deteriorate and become more prone to failure after three years. To avoid getting stranded, regular battery testing is essential. The team at LM Motors advises vehicle owners with batteries older than three years to use our testing services to spot potential issues early. Avoid Caravan Trip Hassles Caravans, which often sit idle for long periods, are at a higher risk of battery failure. Before your next trip, bring your caravan in for a battery check. This precaution can help you avoid unexpected problems and ensure your journey starts smoothly. Batteries Tested with every Service LM Motors test your car battery at ever service to give you peace of mind. This preventative measure can identify the health of your car battery so that a timely replacement can be arranged.  Why Choose LM Motors in Townsville Selecting the right battery is just the beginning. At LM Motors, our expertise extends beyond sales.

Customer reviews for LM Motors Have been going to LM Motors for years, always had great service, reliability and delivery on time. Have recommended many people to take their cars in and all have been very happy with the service. Cameron on Google Great guys! They charge a few dollars for checking what's wrong with your car. But when you let them repair it, they will take this 'checking price' off the total price. They tell you exactly what's wrong and what they think it will cost you before doing anything. They are really friendly and honest people. They really want to help you and won't rip you off. Unlike some other car repair services in the world. Great job, guys!!!! THANKS. Rik on Google  They were really friendly and helpful and did a great job. They also discussed what needed done and what kind of cost I'd be looking at before they did started. All around they are professional and friendly and I would highly recommend them. Ginger on Google Good mechanics. John on Google The guys from LM Motors were such a great help. We came in on a Thursday evening because our radiator was leaking. They repaired and replaced it the next day, so that we could continue our travels. They even gave us a lift to the port and some nice recommendation what to visit further north. Very friendly and reliable staff! Felix on Google Excellent service. Traveling through and needed a small job and a service done. Did this work for us the following day. We asked if it was possible to have our car back by lunch time so as we could get shopping done etc. Nothing was too much problem to them. Happy with price. Emerald Christian Assembly on Google Have always had amazing service from these guys. Always fast and reliable. Have recommended all my family and friends to use them. Cameron on YellowPages Five stars. Leonard on LocalSearch Great mechanic. John on LocalSearch Efficient. Top work with quick turn around. I highly recommend their service to anyone! Dale in Townsville on LocalSearch To LM Motors: Dear George, Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to help me with the little problem with my car. Your kindness is much appreciated. S. Blackwood in Townsville on Repco Authorised Service Take you car to LM Motors auto service in Ogden Street, if you live or work near there. It's next to Townsville Bulletin. They are an Authorised Repco dealer, which is usually a good indication. Holden Fan on Old Holden Our car got fixed new break pads, new ball & socket joint for the front driver side wheel and new water tank lid because the old one was so old it was falling apart - and that was the reason for the car overheating at the top of the hill! All kindly supplied via Repco LM Motors - luckily nice guys with a good price. Anna and Liam  I recommend LM Motors car service on Ogden Street in Townsville. The owner of the business is an avid off roader and owns 4x4's. About 20% cheaper than going elsewhere. Jason on Fishing Townsvile Forum
