Engines that operate through internal combustion rely on large amounts of clean air to ensure the fuel burns properly and generates the power needed to drive the vehicle. At Temby Auto Service in Eltham, we understand how vital it is to keep your car's air filter in good condition as part of protecting your engine's health. Your engine requires extremely clean air to function efficiently. Dirt, dust, and other particles entering the engine can cause serious damage. That’s where the air filter comes into play. It ensures the air entering the combustion chambers is clean, shielding key engine components such as the pistons and cylinders from wear and damage. Why Replace Your Air Filter? Save on Fuel Costs: Your engine requires the correct balance of fuel and air to run efficiently. A clogged air filter restricts airflow, causing your engine to run inefficiently – often referred to as ‘running rich.’ This not only puts additional stress on your engine but can also increase fuel consumption by up to 10%. No one likes spending more on petrol than necessary!   Protect Your Engine: Over time, air filters become clogged and weaker, increasing the risk of damage. A damaged or overly dirty air filter can allow harmful particles to enter the engine, potentially leading to expensive repairs.   Benefits of Replacing Your Air Filter: Extends the life of your engine Improves fuel efficiency Reduces vehicle emissions At Temby Auto Service, we always check the condition of your air filter during every full car service. Whether it’s a major or minor service, or one that follows your manufacturer’s handbook or logbook guidelines, you can trust us to keep your engine running smoothly.

Keep your engine healthy with clean air filters. Improve fuel efficiency, reduce emissions, and extend engine life. Visit Temby Auto Service for expert maintenance and reliable car servicing.

At Temby Auto Service, we’ve evolved with the cars you drive—without losing the values that built our reputation. In the heart of Eltham, Temby Auto Service has been a trusted name for decades. Known for our attention to detail, mechanical know-how, and genuine customer care, we’ve built lasting relationships with local drivers—many of whom we now know across generations. We’ve always had a soft spot for classic cars and Australian muscle—and that hasn’t changed. But over the years, something else has: the cars themselves. Electric motors. Hybrid drivetrains. Lane-keeping assistance. Dash-integrated diagnostics. The average family car is now packed with more computing power than a spaceship from the ’60s.
That’s why we’ve transformed too. Keeping Up with the Times—And Getting Ahead At Temby Auto, we didn’t wait for the industry to force change. We took the lead.
As vehicles became more advanced, we invested in: Modern diagnostic technology Specialist training in hybrid and electric vehicles Certification through the NexDrive program Tools and systems to keep pace with ADAS, software-driven servicing, and electric drivetrains We did all this not just to service new cars, but to make sure every driver in Eltham and surrounding areas can come to a local workshop they know and trust, no matter what they drive. We Still Love the Classics Yes, we’re NexDrive-certified and ready for anything with a battery or computer system.
But you’ll still find us under the hood of a classic Falcon, Torana, Mustang or Monaro—tuning, rebuilding, and restoring with the same level of care we always have. In fact, our modern equipment gives us more precision than ever before when working on older engines and drivetrains. So whether it's carb tuning or compression testing, we’re able to blend tradition with modern performance. From EVs to V8s—You’re in Good Hands We’re now fully equipped to service: Hybrid and electric vehicles, including high-voltage battery systems ADAS-enabled petrol and diesel cars with advanced safety features Modern turbocharged and direct-injection engines Plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) that require dual drivetrain servicing And we do it all while following manufacturer specifications, so you can keep your statutory warranty fully intact—no dealership required. As a Repco Authorised Service centre, your service is also backed by our nationwide warranty, wherever the road takes you. Technology Meets Old-Fashioned Service Alongside our modern capabilities, we’ve updated how we connect with you, too. Online booking makes scheduling easy Clear service reports keep you informed Digital records mean we can track your car’s history with accuracy. But we haven’t forgotten the personal touch. You’ll still talk to a technician who knows your name and your car’s quirks. You’ll still get a call if something unexpected comes up. And you’ll always get transparent pricing and honest advice—the way it should be. We’re Ready for the Road Ahead At Temby Auto, we believe the best workshops are the ones that never stop learning.
Whether your vehicle is a cutting-edge EV or a Sunday cruiser from the ’70s, we’ve done the work to make sure we can look after it properly. Our commitment to evolving with the industry, while staying rooted in community values, is what sets us apart.

Mazda Car Service in Eltham

When not servicing cars, motorcycles and other vehicles, Andrew Temby can be found high (and sometimes very low) in the air, indulging his other great passion - flying airplanes. Trust your motor to a mechanic who builds and flys his own airplanes. As a qualified pilot and aircraft builder you can be sure Andrew Temby always pays attention to the things that really matter... Andrew Temby has built his own Aircraft and and flys a Formula 1 competition plane called Extra 300 L . Andrew has flown Airshows regularly since 1991, flying many different types of planes . He has flown for TV and Movie . Andrew has test flown numerous Aircraft and put them through their paces. An avid motor enthusiast for as long as he can remember, Andrew is constructing and maintaining his own aircraft, most notably the Aerostar Yak-52TW. "They have a real war-bird feel to them," says Andrew noting that the roar of the plane's supercharged nine-cylinder engine is a spectacle in itself. "It has plenty of power; more than you need to use," Andrew compliments his aircraft originally built in 2004 by Aerostar in Romania, then registered in USA and exported to Australia on 2007. One of few low level Australian airshow pilots and an Australian and Victorian Aerobatic Champion for several years, Andrew can be seen performing aerobatics at various shows, events and festivals. Andrew has flown formation Air shows in many aircraft with many teams. See Andrew flying at Coldstream Airport 50th anniversary. As a licensed pilot at Lilydale Flying School, Andrew Temby gives excellent seminars on aerobatic flying, focusing on aircraft performance and human physiological and psychological factors. Andrew has also test flown many aircraft.  1957 Auster Aircraft (above), restored by Andrew, and flown extensively by Andrew and Michelle Temby for 10 years and the westernised tailwheel Yak-52TW (below). Want to know how it feels inside the cockpit? Grant McHerron got flying aerobatics with Andrew Temby in his Yak-52TW at Coldstream airport (YCEM) as a very special birthday present. Grant had interviewed Andrew for Plane Crazy Down Under podcast, which is also sponsored by Temby Automotive. Grant also arranged the aerobatic flight for his son Nykolai, which was his first flight in a “real” aircraft (tail dragger, radial, inline seating and all) with Andrew showing some good introductory aerobatics, inverted flight, pulling +4G / -1.5G and training him to maneuover the aircraft himself. A pilot himself, Grant was treated to a few chandelles, loops, barrel rolls & aileron rolls, then got into a few more manoeuvres including cuban-8's, an immelman, an avalanche and some other elements of aerobatics, ultimately doing a few series, linking multiple manoeuvres together in a routine: "After this lot of aeros I'd pulled +6G / -1.5G and we'd had a blast. Andrew suggested we go and do some “fun stuff” so we flew flat out and low level up an empty valley then headed over to the lake near Maroondah for another high speed run up the lake but at higher level this time, venting some smoke as we went. Woo hoo! An hour and 20 minutes in air with Andrew Temby felt like no time at all. We'd done the best aerobatics I've ever had in my life and I'd had a go at flying the fastest & most responsive aircraft I've yet had a chance to control. Andrew's YAK doesn't require much stick movement to get it where you want it - it's definitely an aircraft where you *think* what you want to do and before you know it, it's doing it," writes Grant, thanking his wife Kitt for the best birthday present ever.
