Ironman 4x4's newest aluminium bullbar is a complete bumper replacement - no cutting required

The no cut design ensures the bar lines up with all the spectacular angles of the new MQ Triton. Not having to cut the OEM bumper means the bar integrates further into the new MQ Triton and improves consistency of the fit.

“It's a unique bar and we are pushing the limits on our designs” said Ironman's 4x4 Product Director, Adam Craze. “The bar follows all the new lines on the Triton”. With the 63mm robot welded triple hoop design providing a premium and solid barrier for frontal protection.

The bar has been designed to maximise clearance to ensure it sits as high as possible and features airbag compatibility, high lift jack points, spotlight mounts, UHF aerial tab and winch cradle, all whist taking advantage of the weight savings an aluminum bar provides.

Were you aware of the fact that you get to choose where your vehicle is serviced, maintained and repaired, at competitive prices

Thinking of snapping up a bargain at the end of year car sales or getting your new car ready for the holidays with a service? Here is some sound advice from ETS Equipment & Transport Specialists in Chinchilla.

Purchasing a new car is one of the most comprehensive investments people often make, so it is sensible to see to it that you ensure correct maintenance of it. Caring for your new car goes beyond detailing the interior and keeping it sparkling with a loving weekly wash, however.

There are a few other things to consider, such as who is the best choice to service your car.

You will want to ensure it is regularly serviced by a qualified professional, to the manufacturers requirements, using high quality parts from a reputable supplier and fluids which meet the manufacturers specifications. This is not just to look after your new car, but because if these four requirements are met you will also preserve the manufacturers warranty.

Were you aware of the fact that you get to choose who will service your new car without voiding either the manufacturers warranty or your rights under the Consumer Guarantee

Car dealers cannot force you to take the vehicle back to the dealer where you originally bought it for service or repairs. Provided the work is only done to the manufacturers specifications by a properly trained person and uses acceptable quality parts and fluids, the warranty stands. You have the right to choose who services your car.

With Repco Authorised Service you can tick all the boxes. Every ETS Equipment & Transport Specialists mechanic is fully qualified and Auto-Tech trained, giving them access to Australia's leading provider of automotive technical information and training. This means ETS Equipment & Transport Specialists mechanics are kept fully up to date with the latest in automotive service techniques and are able to service your new car without voiding the warranty.

Repco branded parts & products are manufactured to stringent Repco quality standards, and are covered by the Repco Nationwide Warranty, giving you added protection. ETS Equipment & Transport Specialists will also only ever use fluids and lubricants that meet the specifications of the new car manufacturer.

Make sure you are aware of the differences between manufacturer, statutory and express warranties to help you make the right decisions when it comes to servicing your new car. You are automatically covered by a statutory warranty, also known as a Consumer Guarantee, under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and this statutory protection can never be substituted by manufacturer or express warranties (which are offered by the car maker and car dealer respectively).

If you already own a new car or are thinking of purchasing one, make sure you clearly understand where your statutory rights begin and end.

A lack of disclosure requirements on car dealers at the point of sale regarding these contracts can easily lead the consumer into making a choice to be bound by a long term contract without access to all of the details needed to make a properly informed decision.

So at the point of sale, watch out for new car dealers who may try to bundle “express” or “extended” warranties, often for free. Usually these ‘bonus' warranties may include quite extensive restrictions or provisions, often in a language that is difficult to follow. Many times these deals provide hardly any additional benefits beyond the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with a specific car dealership.

Such deals are very unlikely to focus on the potential negative aspects involved with taking a new car back to the dealer for service or repair. This includes how long the drive will be to get your car serviced or longer waiting times due to fewer available service locations or mechanics.

Ensuring your come to a stop when necessary is crucial! Regularly maintain your brakes with our team of local mechanics in our Chinchilla workshop.

The role of brake fluid in a vehicle's braking system cannot be underestimated as it is responsible for transmitting pressure to the brake pads, bringing the car to a stop. Failure to flush out the brake fluid at regular intervals could result in several issues that could put the safety and performance of the brakes in jeopardy.

If you don't have your brake fluid regularly replaced, it can result in its deterioration, leading to decreased effectiveness and an increased braking time. The degeneration of the fluid may also result in the formation of air bubbles and pockets, which also impacts on your ability to bring your vehicle to a complete stop.

It is imperative to prioritise brake maintenance by following the recommended Brake Fluid Flush schedule from ETS Equipment & Transport Specialists. Doing so will not only improve your braking response time but also reduce the risk of accidents. This crucial procedure shields your braking system from water contamination and corrosion, which could otherwise lead to damaging consequences.

ETS Equipment & Transport Specialists are qualified to perform a wide range of brake services and repairs using quality parts, all covered by our Nationwide Warranty.

We never compromise on brake safety, ensuring that when you need to stop, you can trust that we will deliver.

Whenever a full car service is provided at ETS Equipment & Transport Specialists, customers may request a detailed Vehicle Inspection report that assesses the state of the brake fluid, master cylinder, front and rear discs and pads, calipers and cylinders, and more. This review provides crucial information that will help keep you safe, or allow you to plan and budget for any potential repairs your vehicle may need.

ETS Equipment & Transport Specialists offers reliable brake maintenance service and repairs for all car makes and models, including commercial fleet vehicles. Book your appointment today and enjoy our nationwide warranty!

Discover the importance of regular car servicing with ETS Equipment & Transport Specialists in Chinchilla to keep your vehicle in top condition, ensuring safety and reliability on your next road trip.

When planning a road trip, what's the first thing that comes to your mind? If you're thinking about the route, snacks, or playlists, you're not alone. However, ensuring your car is up to the task is arguably the most critical step in your prep work. Regular vehicle servicing plays a pivotal role in guaranteeing your car's road trip readiness, and here's why.

Safety First:
Above all, regular car servicing is paramount for safety. A well-maintained vehicle is significantly less likely to encounter mechanical failures that could lead to dangerous situations on the road. Servicing ensures critical systems like brakes and steering are in top-notch condition, so you can enjoy peace of mind while navigating those scenic routes.

The Engine's Heartbeat:
Think of engine oil as your vehicle's lifeblood. Regular oil changes during servicing keep the engine running smoothly, preventing overheating and excessive wear. This is especially important during long drives, where the engine works harder for extended periods.

Fuel Efficiency Matters:
Nobody wants to spend more on fuel than necessary, especially during an adventure that might already be stretching your budget. Regular servicing keeps your car's engine in an optimal state, ensuring you get the best possible mileage and keeping those fuel stops less frequent and more affordable.

Avoid Unexpected Breakdowns:
There's little worse than your road trip being cut short by a vehicle breakdown. Regular check-ups reduce this risk by identifying and rectifying issues before they become serious problems. From worn belts to aging hoses, preventative maintenance can save the day.

Prolong Your Car's Lifespan:
Every service is an investment in your vehicle's future. Consistent maintenance helps your car to last longer, ensuring it's not just ready for one road trip but many more to come. 

Tyre Talk:
Tyres are your car's only contact with the road, so their condition is non-negotiable. Servicing includes tyre checks for wear and tear, ensuring they're properly inflated and have enough tread to keep you safely on the road in all conditions.

Battery Life:
The last thing you want is a dead battery in the middle of nowhere. Regular servicing tests your battery's health, ensuring it's charged and ready to go. It's a simple check that can save a lot of headaches.

Brake Assurance:
Effective braking is crucial, especially on unfamiliar roads. Servicing assesses your brakes for wear, ensuring you can always stop safely and on time.

Keeping Cool:
Your car's cooling system prevents the engine from overheating. During service, this system is checked for leaks and coolant levels, ensuring your engine stays cool under pressure.

Electrics and Lights:
Functioning lights and electrical systems are not just for your convenience but also for your safety. Regular servicing ensures everything from your headlights to indicator lights and the electrical dashboard is in working order.

Suspension and Steering:
A smooth ride isn't just about comfort; it's about control. Servicing ensures your suspension and steering components are in good condition, making your journey as smooth and safe as possible.

Exhaust Systems:
A healthy exhaust system is vital for your car's performance and the environment. Regular checks can detect leaks or damages that could affect your vehicle's efficiency and safety.

Fluid Levels:
From brake fluid to power steering fluid, maintaining the correct levels is crucial for your car's operation. Regular servicing ensures all fluids are topped up and replaced as necessary.

Environmental Considerations:
A well-maintained car is also a more environmentally friendly one. Efficient engines produce fewer emissions, and properly disposed of service materials minimise environmental impact.

Peace of Mind:
Ultimately, regular servicing offers peace of mind. Knowing your vehicle has been professionally checked and maintained lets you focus on enjoying your road trip, rather than worrying about what could go wrong.

Regular servicing is not just a chore—it's an essential part of vehicle ownership that ensures safety, reliability, and performance. Before setting off on your next road trip, remember that a well-serviced car is your best companion on the open road.

Differential bushings could be the issue if they are aged, worn or cracked.  They control movement in the joints, absorb road bumps and reduce vibrations and noise while driving or reversing. These are one of many automotive issue we can handle at ETS Equipment & Transport Specialists, your trusted local mechanic in Chinchilla.

It is fair to say that the Ford Territory and Falcon are two of the most popular vehicles on Australian roads. Both of these models are prone to high rates of wear in some rear suspension components, such as the rear differential bushing. This is particularly apparent on vehicles that have travelled high kilometres, have high horsepower or vehicles towing loads regularly.

A tell-tale sign that this bushing is no longer performing as intended is hearing a clunking noise or feeling a jolt under acceleration or when shifting gears from drive to reverse. The primary function of the rear differential bushing is to provide a smooth and quiet transfer of power from the engine to the rear wheels of your vehicle under acceleration.

Should this issue go unresolved it may result in excessive wear on surrounding drive train and suspension components so it is wise and economical to act swiftly should you be experiencing any of these symptoms.

Your local Repco Authorised Service Centre ETS Equipment & Transport Specialists in Chinchilla is experienced in diagnosing and fixing this problem. We can replace your worn rubber differential bushing with a highly durable Nolathane differential bushing specifically designed and manufactured to address this problem and return your vehicle back to its optimum performance.

So, if “clunking” goes with your Territory or Falcon, contact the team at ETS Equipment & Transport Specialists today.

At ETS Equipment & Transport Specialists in  Chinchilla we believe the transmission is an important part of your vehicle.

Without the transmission, your vehicle would not be able to move between gears. The transmission fluid allows you to do this smoothly and also protects the working parts inside your transmission. The transmission fluid doesn't diminish through use. Yet the level should still be checked periodically because if there is a leak, or the fluid level is low, it will harm the internal parts of your transmission.

Transmission fluid can become dirty over time with metal shavings and other particles which will shorten the life of your transmission. Replacing a transmission is a costly exercise and so checking the fluid and replacing it when necessary is a good investment in the long run.

At ETS Equipment & Transport Specialists we provide a full 65 Point Vehicle Condition Report upon request with every full car service - This includes a check of your transmission fluid and we will advise you if we think your fluid needs to be replaced or if a transmission service might be needed.

Call ETS Equipment & Transport Specialists for all your diesel 4WD and diesel passenger vehicle repairs, inspections and services. We are conveniently located in Chinchilla.

A diesel engine can be more efficient, better for the environment and cheaper to run than its petrol-powered counterpart. However, it still needs regular servicing to keep it running at an ultimate level and to help make sure nothing goes wrong. 

Our technicians at ETS Equipment & Transport Specialists are fully qualified to service diesel SUV, AWD, 4WD and Passenger diesel vehicles. Contact us today.
