Yes, Thompson's Auto Service repairs and regasses automotive air conditioning for passenger vehicles, 4WDs, and light commercial vehicles from its Mayfield workshop.

When the oil light illuminates despite a full oil level, the likely cause is low oil pressure rather than a low oil volume. Common culprits include a faulty oil pressure sensor, a clogged oil filter, a worn oil pump, or internal engine wear. Treat this warning as urgent, as low oil pressure can cause serious engine damage. Thompson's Auto Service can diagnose the cause at the Mayfield workshop using AFI diagnostic equipment. Book a check through general auto repairs.

Brake shudder when slowing is most often caused by uneven or worn brake rotors, which create a pulsing vibration through the pedal and steering wheel. Other causes include excessive heat from hard braking, a sticking calliper, or worn brake pads. Ignoring shuddering can worsen the problem and increase stopping distances, a safety concern on busy Mayfield and Newcastle roads. The team at Thompson's Auto Service can inspect and assess your braking system at the brakes page.
