As the temperature decreases, the necessity of ensuring your vehicle's battery is operating at its optimum capacity becomes critical. Low temperatures can adversely affect car batteries, resulting in start-up challenges and potentially stranding drivers. To prevent such issues, Autoworx located in North Geelong emphasises the importance of conducting a car battery inspection before the winter season. Our thorough examination prepares your vehicle for the approaching colder weather, guaranteeing its dependability and safety.

The chemical reactions within a car battery are significantly hampered by cold temperatures, greatly diminishing its power retention and delivery capabilities. A battery that functions well in warm conditions may fail to supply the necessary energy to start your car under cooler conditions. This diminished performance can accelerate wear and, in severe cases, lead to failure when it is least expected.

Battery Terminals and Cables: Checking for any corrosion or damage that could impair electrical conduction. Battery Case Condition: Inspecting for any physical damage or leakage that could influence performance. Battery Age: Considering the natural decline in a battery's efficiency over time to estimate its remaining service life. Common Issues Our battery assessments often reveal issues such as: Reduced Charging Capacity: Suggesting an imminent need for battery replacement. Corrosion on Battery Terminals: Which can hinder efficient power delivery. Damaged Cables or Connectors: Resulting in suboptimal electrical connections. Cracks or Swelling in the Battery Case: Indicators of physical deterioration or potential safety risks. Our Solutions Should your battery require replacement, Autoworx carries an extensive selection of the most commonly needed sizes of batteries suitable for a variety of vehicles, including 4x4s, SUVs, and Stop-Start batteries.

Focusing on brake maintenance is vital to your overall safety. Properly maintained brakes will save you money and shouldn't need to be repaired.  Maintaining your brakes means not waiting until they need repairs but having them checked on a regular basis to help avoid any unseen or unexpected problems which might impact your ability to brake safely and efficiently should the need arise.  Regular brake maintenance means that you can be confident that your brakes will be working properly when you need them most - in an emergency! When it comes to Brake Maintenance, you should never take a risk. If you're not sure if your brake maintenance is 100% - call a professional like Autoworx without delay. It is important to remember that unusual brake sounds are not only caused by normal wear and any unusual noises anywhere in your car should always be investigated by a qualified professional mechanic. Check your Brake Pads Your brake pads are a key element of your braking system and a part that you your shouldn't disregard. Friction is caused when the brake pads compress against the brake rotors in order for your car to stop. So your brake pads are working really hard, really often. The amount of pressure they need to apply to pull up a moving vehicle is extreme and the friction used to do so generates a lot of heat - which wears down the brake pads. Squealing brakes are a sure sign that your brake pads are worn thin as many pads have a small metal piece set into them that scrapes on the disc when your brake pads are getting worn, causing that high pitch noise. However, you should never wait until you hear noises to get your pads assessed, we advise having your brakes inspected at every service. As part of our Vehicle Inspection with every car service, we inspect the brake pads for wear and inform you if they call for replacing. We can also recommend the right pad for your local conditions and driving style. Brake Pads can last anywhere between 15,000 to 70,000 km's. This can differ according to a number of causes such as; driving style, local conditions, towing heavy loads. If your brake pads are wearing out prematurely your mechanic might advise using a special heavy duty brake pad more suited to your vehicle. Check you Brake Fluid and Flush regularly Brake fluid provides the pressure needed by the brake pads to stop your car. It also helps prolong the lifespan of your various brake components by helping to prevent corrosion. Most people know that it is imperative to keep the brake fluid level topped up, but did you know that you should also have the entire system flushed regularly to replace old brake fluid and prevent excessive moisture in the fluid? Simply because it looks clean doesn't mean it's actually in good condition. Moisture accumulates in the brake fluid and it's not always noticeable in a visual inspection. Moisture in the fluid increases the chance the fluid will boil, which could result in a loss of braking pressure. A visual inspection is not sufficient to identify excess moisture in your brake fluid, only a professional boiling point test can tell you this. A brake fluid flush can be done as part of a scheduled service - but sometimes we may suggest you need one outside of a regular schedule if we feel it's necessary. We are always happy to discuss the reasons why with you. Autoworx are qualified to perform a wide range of brake services and repairs using quality parts, all covered by our nationwide warranty. Brake Pads Brake Drums Brake Calipers Brake Rotors Brake Hoses/Clips/Springs Wheel Cylinders Wheel Bearings Master Cylinders Brake Flushing At Autoworx we offer a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report, upon request, with every full car service which includes a written review of your brake fluid, master cylinder, front and back discs and pads, calipers and cylinders and more. This Vehicle Inspection Report lets you know if there is immediate or future need for repairs to your vehicle allowing you to budget in advance.

Maintaining your brakes means having them checked on a regular basis with your service to help avoid any unseen or unexpected problems which might impact your ability to brake safely and efficiently should the need arise...

Never leave brakes to the last minute

Maintaining a log book of your car's service records and adhering to a proactive approach towards regular inspections and minor repairs is an effective strategy to ensure your vehicle continues to function optimally. This approach helps to avoid minor problems from escalating into significant damages that can incur exorbitant repair costs. To ensure regular servicing, all passenger cars (and most commercial vehicles) ought to receive a manufacturer-issued "Log Book," detailing the recommended timing and itinerary. Keep this valuable document in your glove compartment for future reference and note-taking. Alternatively, in case of misplacement, Autoworx can conveniently access our database to obtain the required information. FREE Tyre Rotation with Every Service at Autoworx The schedule of the service will be a combination of both time or distance. You may be tempted to delay your next log book service because your car is probably still driveable and it may not have reached BOTH the time and distance measures. While you obviously need to find availability in your budget and schedule, don't delay too long because wear and tear on the car will increase exponentially and could lead to damage which is many times more expensive than the log book service would have been.

When it comes to keeping your car in prime condition, understanding the intricacies of its cooling system is paramount. At Autoworx in North Geelong, we specialise in maintaining and servicing vehicle cooling systems, ensuring your engine remains in top shape throughout the year. Our team of highly skilled technicians is dedicated to providing comprehensive services that cater to your vehicle’s unique needs. Understanding Your Car's Cooling System The cooling system is the heart of your vehicle’s engine management, diligently working to regulate its temperature. It operates by circulating a coolant mixture throughout the engine. This process effectively absorbs excess heat, which is then dissipated through the radiator, cooled by passing air, and returned to the engine to continue the cycle. This mechanism is vital in preventing your engine from overheating and ensuring smooth, efficient operation. Identifying the early signs of a failing cooling system can save you from costly repairs. High temperature readings, coolant leaks, frequent overheating, and steam emerging from the bonnet are all indicators of potential problems. If these issues are not addressed promptly, they could lead to severe damage, such as warped cylinder heads, blown head gaskets, or even a cracked engine block. The Importance of Regular Maintenance At Autoworx, we emphasise the significance of regular maintenance. With every service, our team conducts a thorough coolant change and hose inspection, safeguarding your vehicle against unexpected breakdowns. This routine check helps prevent overheating in the warmer months and avoids coolant freezing during colder periods, ensuring your engine’s reliability regardless of the weather. Comprehensive Cooling System Services Our detailed service procedure includes an in-depth inspection of coolant levels and quality. We meticulously examine the radiator and hoses for any signs of leaks or damage, and verify the correct functioning of the thermostat, water pump, and cooling fan. If required, we perform pressure tests and flush the system, responsibly disposing of old coolant to maintain environmental standards. Why Choose Autoworx? Choosing Autoworx in North Geelong means opting for excellence and peace of mind. Our expert team is committed to providing superior car care, ensuring your cooling system operates at peak performance. This proactive approach not only enhances your driving experience but also prevents future costly repairs. Ensure your engine runs smoothly by booking an appointment with us today.

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.
