Classic Car Service

A classic car service from Hillwood Autos is a comprehensive maintenance procedure designed to keep your vintage car in top condition and preserve its originality and performance. While we tailor the service to suit your individual vehicle, here is an idea of a typical classic car service:

Engine Inspection and Tune-up: Our technician will inspect the engine, check for leaks, and adjust ignition timing, carburettors, and fuel mixture if required. They may also change the engine oil and replace the oil filter.
Cooling System: The cooling system will be checked for leaks, and the radiator, hoses, and coolant level will be examined. If necessary, the coolant may be flushed and replaced.
Brake System: The brake system will be inspected for wear and tear, and brake pads or shoes may be replaced if needed. The brake fluid level and condition will also be checked.
Suspension and Steering: The suspension and steering components will be inspected for wear and proper alignment.
Electrical System: The battery, charging system, and electrical connections will be checked, and the wiring and lights will be inspected for any issues.
Tyres and Wheels: The tyres’ condition, tread depth, and tyre pressure will be checked. Wheel alignment and balancing may be adjusted if necessary.
Exhaust System: The exhaust system will be inspected for leaks and damage.
Fluid Levels: The garage will check and top up essential fluids, such as brake fluid, power steering fluid, and gearbox oil.
Air Filter and Fuel Filter: The air filter and fuel filter may be replaced if necessary to ensure proper engine performance.
Lubrication: Our technician will apply lubrication to various components, including hinges, door locks, and other moving parts.
Visual Inspection: The overall condition of the classic car, including the body, interior, and exterior, will be visually assessed.
Recommendations: We may have recommendations for any repairs, maintenance, or restorations that are needed or suggested to keep the classic car in optimal condition and will share these with you.
