Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even know there is a clutch in your vehicle. But without it, the gears in your car will not change. Marjac Automotive in Maroochydore know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below. What is a clutch? The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to spin, but what happens when your car needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop spinning but the wheels need to. It's the clutch that allows this to happen. The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run. What is clutch fluid? Some vehicles have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. Leaking clutch fluid can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At Marjac Automotive in Maroochydore we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you in the course of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection - which you can request as part of every car service.
 What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing You should have your clutch looked at if: You notice a burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle Your vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason There is jerky or sticky gear operation Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it could mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine. The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is contact us at Marjac Automotive today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Maroochydore workshop.

The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation.

From grease-stained notebooks to EV diagnostics—how our family-run workshop is embracing the future of motoring! At many workshops, change is something that happens slowly. But at Marjac Automotive, we’ve always believed in moving with the times—without losing sight of where we’ve come from. Our workshop on the sunshine coast started like many others. A family business built on honest work, a love of engines, and a loyal community of customers. For decades, we’ve proudly serviced Aussie-built classics, V8 muscle, and hardworking family cars. But as cars changed, we knew we had to change too. Today’s vehicles are more than just machines—they’re advanced networks of sensors, computers, and software. From electric vehicles (EVs) to hybrids, and even late-model petrol cars with autonomous safety features, the game has shifted. And we’re not just keeping up—we’re staying ahead. Adapting with Purpose, Not Pressure When hybrid cars first hit Australian roads, many mechanics turned them away. Not us. Upgrading our workshop with advanced diagnostics equipment Undertaking manufacturer-aligned training for EV and hybrid systems Becoming certified under the Repco Authorised Service NexDrive program Creating processes that align with digital servicing and warranty requirements We didn’t do it because we had to. We did it because our customers deserve the confidence that we can service whatever they drive—now and into the future. From V8s to EVs—We Service Them All We still love rebuilding a carburettor or tuning a 308. Classic cars and muscle vehicles remain a big part of what we do—and we’re proud of that heritage.
But we also know that the next generation of customers is arriving in plug-in hybrids, electric SUVs, and tech-packed sedans. So when your Tesla, Corolla Hybrid, or turbocharged hatchback needs attention, we’re ready.

Our team is trained and equipped to work with: High-voltage battery systems Regenerative braking and thermal management ADAS (autonomous driver assist systems) recalibration Software diagnostics and ECU updates Logbook servicing that protects your new car warranty Modern Workshop. Same Trusted Service. Technology isn’t the only thing we’ve upgraded.
We’ve also constantly improve how we serve our customers—digitally and personally. From SMS reminders and online booking to clear service reports and transparent pricing, we’ve brought our old-school service into the modern age.
But some things haven’t changed—and never will: You’ll still talk to real people when you call. We’ll still take the time to explain what your car needs and why. You’ll always get honest advice, not upsells. Because while tools and technology have evolved, trust is still the most important thing in our workshop. Looking Ahead with Confidence At Marjac Automotive, we don’t just fix cars—we build relationships that last generations. Some of our customers now bring in the grandchildren of the cars we first serviced. And now, whether it’s a Monaro, a Mazda3, or a Model Y, we have the expertise to look after it properly.
We’re proof that a workshop with family values and a love of engines can adapt, thrive, and lead in an industry that never stops changing.

Marjac Automotive has evolved from traditional car servicing to cutting-edge diagnostics and EV care—while keeping the trusted, family-run service you love.

Modern Cars. Modern Workshop. How We've Transformed to Stay Ahead

Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.
