Bus Mechanic Service Repair North Brisbane 

A bus is a complex piece of machinery with lots of working parts, so bus repair and service should take place regularly. Specifics vary from bus to bus, but there are some standard features many buses share, and some general guidelines on how often you should check, update, or replace certain parts.

For your engine, the heart of your bus (to provide an example) you should check the oil levels daily. If possible, get an oil sample analysis done every six months, and change the oil and filter at about the same frequency. Within the engine, other components like the belts, crankcase/crankshafts, and valve lashes should be checked at regular intervals during bus service.

Your transmission is also integral to the proper functioning of your bus. It transfers energy created by the engine to the wheels. As with your engine, the fluid levels should be checked daily if possible. And the internal filters will benefit greatly from a yearly or bi-yearly change. At that time, the vents and shift cable should also be looked over for wear and tear, and to mitigate the effects of any damage.

What of the brakes? No bus mechanic would ever overlook these. Hydraulic brakes should have their fluid checked daily, and the master cylinder inspected at three-month intervals. You should test the park brake lever and cable every six months. For air brakes, the tanks should probably be drained daily (cold weather) or weekly (warmer weather). You should also get your many valves checked out and cleaned. Depending on the valves, the frequency will range from every six months to every two years.

It sometimes goes overlooked (and under-appreciated) but you should show your bus’s suspension some periodic attention as well. Give it a visual inspection every few months, and bring it to your North Brisbane bus mechanic every six months for some in-depth inspection and tune up.
