Rideshare servicing

Oxley’s rideshare drivers often put 50,000 to 80,000 km on a car per year. That creates specific wear patterns we handle regularly:

• Brakes worn faster. Pad replacement every 30,000 to 50,000 km is normal.
• Tyres worn faster. 12 to 18 month cycle rather than 4 to 5 year cycle.
• Battery stressed. Constant stop-start cycling. AGM or EFB batteries often needed on modern rideshare vehicles.
• Suspension worn. Stop-start traffic and kerb impacts take a toll.
• AC working hard. Passengers want it cold. Regas every 2 years is typical for rideshare cars.

We know the pace and the budget pressures rideshare drivers operate under. Honest diagnosis, quick turnaround, transparent pricing.

Older high-km cars

Oxley customers often drive cars we would class as long-serving veterans. 300,000 km Corollas. 280,000 km Hiluxes. Our approach:

• Preventative maintenance to catch problems early
• Cost-benefit analysis before every major repair (is it worth it on this car?)
• Honest recommendations when a car is reaching end of life
• Servicing what's necessary, not everything that could be done
