If your ‘check engine' light comes on and you find yourself thinking ‘yep, it's still there,' it might be time to take your wheels down to Moranbah Discount Tyres & Mechanical (MDTM).

We aren't all mechanically-minded, and that's ok, because here in Moranbah is one of the best one-stop mechanical shops you'll find in Queensland. MDTM are a leader in automotive services and repairs, offering a full suite of parts and services, tyres and expert knowledge.

Not only an automotive leader in the state, Moranbah Discount Tyres & Mechanical are also Australia's first authorised Repco service centre to be authorised as a Repco stockist for spare parts. No longer do auto enthusiasts need to travel to the big centres for their spare parts and accessories, what you would find in a normal Repco store you can now find in Moranbah.

The automotive parts centre is situated beside MDTM, where the camping store once was.

Owner, Carolyn Fritz, is delighted to be pioneering this partnership with Repco which has since been replicated in other parts of Australia.

“Having both of these authorisations under the Repco umbrella gives us the unique position of being able to offer our clients a one stop Repco shop, with the local knowledge and experience to back it up.

“We have consistently expanded and invested in growth strategies, making MDTM a one-stop-shop for all auto electrical, mechanical and tyre requirements.

“Our aim is to create an Automotive Hub in Moranbah, while partnering with other local businesses, to service the entire Bowen Basin as well as Mackay and Emerald. We call this “City to the Bush,” whereby we offer products and services that are so competitive, it attracts clients from further afield,” she said.

Not only are MDTM well-known for its exceptional knowledge and service, but also the generous support it gives to the Moranbah community. A regular contributor to local causes, the business contributed more than $42,000 in 2015 to charities and events, including the Relay for Life, Moranbah Early Learning Centre and RACQ Air Rescue. It has been a major sponsor of the Moranbah East State School Garden Party since 2011.

A major contributor to the local economy, MDTM employs 30 staff consisting of full-time, part-time and casuals as well as school-based trainees and apprentices from Moranbah High School. This is part of the school's apprentice and trainee programme, where MDTM currently have nine students taking part at its business.

“We also initiated a ‘Women, Wheels and Automobiles' service that provides free information sessions covering what to do in a vehicle breakdown, how to change a tyre and how to jump start a vehicle. This program has proved so popular that we also conduct the sessions at Moranbah State High School for Year 11 and 12 students,” Carolyn said.

A key part of MDTM's experience comes from managers, Lance Butcher and Michael Eve. Lance has been the Tyre Manager for two years, bringing his unique personal touch to the business and taking the time to speak with customers to understand their needs. He has 30 years of industry experience.

“The only thing between your car and the road is your tyres, it's a critical safety component to ensure tyres are performing as they should in all conditions,” he said.

Michael is the Workshop Manager and brings 35 years of industry experience, the past five years being part of MDTM.

With multiple awards and an extensive list of accreditations to its name, MDTM have achieved high-level recognition within the industry and throughout the Bowen Basin community, exceptional for a local family-owned and operated business.

Its seven core areas of operation continually evolve to support the growth of Moranbah and surrounds' need:

While half of Australia is enjoying their dry season up North, the Southern half of the country is bracing for a wet winter.

You'd think that this would mean totally different ways to prepare your vehicle for the winter driving season; however the essentials of safe winter motoring stay the same. So how can you make sure your car is equipped for safe winter motoring? 

We've all experienced that moment where you turn on the wipers during that first rainstorm and only then remember you should have replaced them! Your wipers are constantly exposed to the hot Australian sun all year round and wear out. A good quality wiper blade like Trico is essential to help you see your way clear regardless of the weather. Moranbah Discount Tyres & Mechanical can recommend a wiper blade or assembly that is right for your car.

Fluids and other workings in your car can be effected by cold weather; such as coolants, oils and items such as glow plugs in diesel vehicles. Having a regular service is essential - especially by a qualified mechanic who understands the correct parts and products for your vehicle's needs. We use high quality NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils and fluids that are designed for Australian conditions.  

Remember to always drive to the conditions. If visibility is poor or the weather is wet - slow down and leave a larger than normal stopping distance between yourself and the vehicle in front. Drive on the safe side and book in today for a service or a 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report.

Be aware of the symptoms that your brakes need some work, for example vibrating, spongy or slow responding brake pedal, strange sounds or difficult handling when applying pressure to your brakes. If you notice any of these you should get it checked out by a qualified mechanic. Brake inspections form part of our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report, so if you have concerns call us today and book in.

Driving on worn tyres is dangerous. Now is the time to check how worn your tyres are. If you spot uneven tyre wear, this could indicate that your shock absorbers or some other vital part of your steering and suspension systems are due for service or replacement. Find out more about the components that affect your tyre wear on the links below: 

Driving on incorrectly inflated tyres won't just cost you money on additional fuel; it can also impact your stopping ability. You can usually find manufacturers recommendations on a panel inside the driver side door.
