Diesel utes and 4WDs work harder than most vehicles on the road. Towing, touring, corrugations and dust all take their toll. A proper diesel specialist makes the difference between a vehicle that's ready for the next trip and one that lets you down on the way home from it. The team at S & A Automotive knows diesel and 4x4 mechanic repairs in Cairns inside out. From intake carbon cleans and injector servicing through to suspension lift kits, GVM upgrades, heavy-duty clutches and pre-trip inspections, we look after the lot. For vehicles with electronic faults, we can follow up with car diagnostics, and we also handle brakes and suspension upgrades to complete the build. Call (07) 4035 6789 before your next big trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
Service intervals vary by make and use. Towing, dusty conditions and short-trip driving all bring intervals forward. As a guide, plan an injector inspection between 150,000 and 200,000 km, or sooner if there's visible smoke, rough running or a noticeable drop in fuel economy.
