Murwillumbah Rodent / Rat Treatment
Rodents love cars! They like electrical wiring, rubber hoses, leads and other parts of your engine. They like warm, dark dry places away from predators. They like water.
All of these conditions exist under the bonnet of your car! It’s like the perfect resort for them! They eat away at the wiring and hoses, drink the windscreen washer fluid (after chewing through the bottle) and bring in “bedding” materials like dry grass and leaves. They may even try to raise a family in your engine bay. Rodents can do thousands of dollars of damage to your car in one night and leave your vehicle susceptible to engine bay fires.
At All Mechanical Services in Murwillumbah, we offer a fast and effective rodent prevention treatment to help avoid costly repairs and keep your vehicle running safely. Call (02) 6672 7771 for further enquiries and to book and get peace of mind knowing your vehicle is safe.
Headlight Polishing Service
Having trouble with night time visibility? Headlights not bright enough? There’s a good chance the headlight lenses on your car are “foggy.”
Modern headlight lenses are NOT GLASS. They are made of Polycarbonate plastic. Like most plastic, it deteriorates in sunlight and leaves a “foggy” effect on the lens.
At All Mechanical Services, we can rejuvenate your headlight lenses and restore the brightness of your lights. This process is much cheaper and faster than fitting new headlights. Bring your car in for an assessment and see what we can do for night driving.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why do rodents get into vehicles?
Rodents seek out warmth, shelter and food — and your engine bay ticks all those boxes. Vehicles parked for long periods or near bushland, farms or sheds are especially at risk.
Wiring insulation made from soy-based materials can also attract chewing. Once inside, they may build nests or chew through electricals and hoses, causing costly damage.
What are the signs of a rodent infestation in a car?
Common signs include foul smells, chewed wires or hoses, strange noises when starting, or visible droppings and nesting material in the engine bay.
You might also notice warning lights or strange electrical issues caused by damaged wiring. If your vehicle has been sitting unused for a while or parked in rodent-prone areas, it’s smart to check under the bonnet.
What causes headlights to become "foggy?"
Headlights become foggy over time due to a combination of UV exposure, oxidation and environmental contaminants. Sunlight breaks down the outer protective coating of the plastic lens, while dirt, road debris and moisture contribute to cloudiness, reducing visibility and headlight performance.
