Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. Welshpool Auto Repairs in Welshpool are very knowledgeable and experienced in looking after these systems.  It is recommended that you exchange your radiator coolant fluid every two years or 40,000 km's whichever comes first. However the size of the engine, the climate in your area, the age of your current coolant, and the total miles that have been driven can all affect the need to replace the coolant in your radiator. Knowing when to replenish your radiator fluid isn't always easy - obviously, when it has gone a dirty brown colour it's a sign it probably needs to be flushed and replaced - however even fresh-looking coolant could have lost its corrosion protection properties and without measuring its reserve alkalinity there's no signal that it is no longer protecting your vehicle components, and it could even be doing more damage than good. Maintaining good coolant means your radiator system will be much better protected from corrosion and will have a longer life span, it will help prevent you from having to replace expensive engine components. At Welshpool Auto Repairs in Welshpool at your request, we will perform a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report for free as part of any minor, major or log book service. Part of this inspection includes checking the level and condition of coolant in your system and the written report will advise you if we feel a radiator flush, fluid replacement or any repairs are required to maintain the performance of your vehicle.

Even if it looks clean, your coolant still might need replacing!

Faulty and low charge batteries are to be avoided. Don't wait till you're stranded somewhere on the side of the road, hoping for a jump start. It is easy to have your car, bike, truck battery tested or charged up at Welshpool Auto Repairs in Welshpool.  Often issues occur because we have all reduced how much we drive or decided to only rely on one car (as petrol prices skyrocket!) and have left the other in the garage. But did you know that batteries can still discharge even when your car isn't in use? - ask Welshpool Auto Repairs about a battery test today!  Our technicians do a battery load test as part of the 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report that comes free with every car service. If you have concerns, we can do a stand-alone battery test and inspection right here in Welshpool. Car Battery FAQ How do I know if my battery is getting flat or low? The most obvious sign of a flat battery is when your car won't start, but modern motor vehicles can show symptoms like non-essential functions not operating correctly - things like idle stop-start function not working, or the car's air-conditioning not working effectively.
Other signs you might need a new car battery include: Vehicle is slow to start Engine won't start Dash Lights work, but engine won't start Constantly needing a jump start Film or corrosion on the battery Cracked swollen or leaky battery Rotten egg smell under the hood Do I need a new car battery? The most obvious sign of a flat battery is when your car won't start. Modern motor vehicles can show symptoms like the idle stop-start not working or the car's air-conditioning not working to full capacity.

Other signs include cracked, dirty or leaky batteries, a rotten egg smell under the hood of your car, or regularly needing a jump start or recharge. The best way to know if you need a new battery is to get a car battery test at {{{businessName}}} Does a flat battery use more fuel? Yes! When your car battery is running flat, the alternator works harder to recharge the battery. This added load on the engine means it burns more fuel. Where can I buy a new car battery? Come in and see us! As a Repco Authorised Service Centre, {{{businessName}}} have access to the highest quality batteries to suit most vehicles. Who can test my car battery? {{{businessName}}} can do a battery load test. Phone us or visit the workshop today. Why choose {{{businessName}}} for a battery test? If you have concerns about your vehicle's performance, it is wise to get your battery tested at a full-service workshop like {{{businessName}}} rather than at a parts store. That's because we take into consideration the whole vehicle and can diagnose any deeper issues. There is nothing worse than replacing your car battery only to find the problem actually lies elsewhere… except maybe being told your battery test is fine with no explanation for your ongoing issues! Can my car battery be recharged? Yes, in fact the battery is being recharged by the alternator in your car whenever the engine is running. Sometimes this fix isn't enough, and your battery requires an external recharge. It's best to ask the professionals like our team at {{{businessName}}} about this, as you could void the battery warranty by recharging it yourself. Sometimes external recharging is not the best option because every battery eventually reaches a point in its life where replacement is the only answer to avoid unexpected breakdowns. Can I fit my battery myself? The short answer is yes...But! Modern vehicles are “computers on wheels”, so if you decide to DIY you must follow proper installation procedures to avoid damaging the ECM (Engine Control Module) and TCM (Transmission Control Module). Plus, if the battery gets incorrectly installed, items like the radio, the navigation system and security codes may need to be professionally reset. Talk to {{{businessName}}} today. We can recommend the right battery for your needs and install it for you. 

Ever replaced your battery only to find your car problem wasn't fixed? Don't be left feeling flat, get your battery tested at a full service workshop.

How Regular Service Helps Get Your Car Ready for Winter Driving Winter in Welshpool, WA may not bring snow, but it certainly brings cooler temperatures and potentially challenging driving conditions. Regular car servicing is essential to ensure that your vehicle is ready for the winter season. Join Welshpool Auto Repairs as we dive into why regular service is crucial and what specific mechanical tasks help keep your car in top condition for winter driving in Welshpool. The Importance of Regular Car Service First and foremost, regular car servicing helps maintain the overall health of your vehicle. It ensures that all components are functioning correctly, thereby preventing unexpected breakdowns and enhancing the car's longevity. In winter, when conditions can be a bit more unpredictable, it’s even more critical to have a reliable car and Welshpool Auto Repairs are here to help you. Checking the Brakes Brakes are arguably the most important safety feature in your vehicle. During the winter months, the roads can be more slippery due to rain and lower temperatures. Ensuring that your brakes are in top-notch condition can be the difference between stopping safely and having an accident. A thorough brake inspection during a regular service can identify worn brake pads, leaking brake fluid, or any other issues that might compromise braking performance. Tyre Condition Next on the list are your tyres. Good tyre health is essential for maintaining traction, especially on wet or slippery roads. During winter, the road surface can be more challenging to navigate, and tyres with insufficient tread depth can significantly increase stopping distances. Regular service by a reputable mechanic like Welshpool Auto Repairs includes checking tyre tread depth, tyre pressure, and looking for any signs of wear and tear that could compromise safety. It’s also a good idea to consider winter tyres if you frequently drive in areas that experience cooler temperatures and wetter conditions. Battery Health Cold weather can be particularly hard on car batteries. The chemical reactions required to generate power are slowed down in lower temperatures, meaning your battery has to work harder. Regular servicing ensures that your battery is in good condition, and can identify if it’s nearing the end of its life. Having your battery tested and replaced if necessary can save you from the inconvenience of a car that won’t start on a chilly morning. Fluid Levels Fluids are the lifeblood of your vehicle, and they include engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid. During winter, it's crucial to ensure that all fluid levels are topped up and that the fluids themselves are in good condition. For instance, engine oil can thicken in colder weather, making it harder for the engine to turn over. A proper service will include checking these fluid levels and replacing or topping them up as needed. Windshield Wipers Visibility is paramount when driving, and this is especially true in winter when rain is more common. Windshield wipers are your first line of defense against poor visibility, and worn or damaged wipers can make driving in the rain hazardous. Regular service will ensure that your windshield wipers are in good condition and can effectively clear your windshield, providing you with the best possible view of the road ahead. Lighting System With shorter days and longer nights, it’s important that all your vehicle’s lights are working properly. This includes headlights, tail lights, brake lights, and indicators. Properly functioning lights not only help you see the road but also ensure that other drivers can see you. A regular service with Welshpool Auto Repairs in Welshpool will check all these lights and replace any that are not working. HVAC System The Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system plays a crucial role in keeping you comfortable and ensuring clear visibility during the winter months. A well-functioning HVAC system can quickly defog your windows and keep the cabin warm, which is essential for safe driving. When you get regular servicing from Welshpool Auto Repairs, our mechanics will check the HVAC system to ensure it is working efficiently and effectively. Winter in Welshpool may not bring extreme weather, but it still requires your vehicle to be in optimal condition for safe driving. Regular servicing is the best way to ensure that your car is ready to tackle the winter roads. By paying attention to critical components like brakes, tyres, battery, fluid levels, windshield wipers, lights, and the HVAC system, you can drive with confidence knowing that your vehicle is well-prepared for any winter challenges that come your way. Visit Welshpool Auto Repairs’s Welshpool service centre today and make sure your car is winter-ready. Your safety and peace of mind on the road are worth it.

Ensure your car is winter-ready in Welshpool with regular servicing. Discover how checking brakes, tyres, battery, fluids, wipers, lights, and HVAC can keep you safe on the road this winter...
