A mechanic for Reynella, Old Reynella and Reynella East
From the historic main street of Old Reynella to the family streets of Reynella East and across towards Woodcroft, Reynella drivers have a trusted workshop a short drive south-west in Lonsdale.
Reynella sits right on Main South Road with the Southern Expressway close by, so a lot of the vehicles we see from here do serious kilometres: commuters into the city, and utes and 4WDs that tow a caravan or a boat on weekends. That's exactly the work our in-house dyno and transmission bay are set up for.
Bring in the daily driver for a log-book service, or the tow vehicle for a tune and a transmission service, and we'll photograph the work and talk you through it.
Towing and touring setups for Reynella drivers
A tow vehicle works hardest in the gears and the torque band, so that's where we focus. On our dyno, a 2016 Isuzu D-Max went from 93.4 kW and 339.6 Nm to 123.8 kW and 503.2 Nm after a custom remap. See the full sheet on our Isuzu D-Max ECU remap page. For a towing setup we look at:
- 4x4 diesel tuning written on the dyno for low-down torque and monitored exhaust temperatures.
- Transmission servicing and Stocklock lock-up kits for automatics that tow.
- Tough Dog and Dobinsons suspension rated for ball weight and touring gear.
- Brake repairs so the vehicle pulls up confidently with a load behind it.
