Winter is a beautiful season, but it can also be a challenging time for drivers. Icy roads, reduced visibility, and unpredictable weather conditions make it essential to stay vigilant behind the wheel. One of the most critical steps you can take to ensure your safety on the road is regular car checks and servicing.  The Importance of Regular Car Servicing in Winter Regular car servicing is not just about keeping your vehicle running smoothly; it's about ensuring your safety and the safety of others on the road. Winter can be harsh on your car, from the engine to the tyres. The cold can affect battery performance, oil viscosity, and tyre pressure. A well-serviced vehicle is less likely to break down, giving you peace of mind as you navigate winter roads. When you bring your car to Apex Tyre & Auto, you’re choosing a service that prioritises your safety. As a Repco Authorised Service Centre, we offer a Nationwide Warranty available at 500 workshops across Australia, ensuring you have support wherever you go. Winter Driving: Essential Car Checks for Wet Weather Driving in wet weather presents unique challenges. Here’s a list of important things to check on your car to ensure a safe journey: Tyres: Your tyres are your only contact with the road. Ensure they have adequate tread depth and are properly inflated. This helps with traction on slippery surfaces. Brakes: Efficient brakes are vital. If you notice any unusual noises or a spongy brake pedal, get them checked immediately. Wet weather can increase stopping distances, so responsive brakes are essential. Battery: Cold weather can drain your battery faster. Check its condition and ensure it's fully charged. A weak battery can leave you stranded in the cold. Wipers and Washer Fluid: Clear visibility is crucial in wet weather. Ensure your wipers are in good condition and that your washer fluid is topped up with a solution suitable for winter conditions. Lights: Check all your lights, including headlights, taillights, brake lights, and indicators. Good lighting improves visibility in fog, rain, and snow, making sure you’re seen by other drivers. Heating and Defrosting System: A functioning heating and defrosting system is essential for keeping your windows clear of fog and ice. Check that they are working efficiently. Engine Oil and Coolant: Cold temperatures can thicken engine oil, making it harder for the engine to start. Ensure your oil is suitable for winter use and that your coolant is at the correct level. Belts and Hoses: Cold weather can make rubber components brittle. Check for any signs of wear and tear to avoid unexpected breakdowns. By taking these precautions, you’ll significantly reduce the risk of accidents and breakdowns, making your winter driving experience safer and more enjoyable. Drive safely this winter, and remember – regular car servicing is not just a maintenance routine, it’s a lifesaver. Visit our Long Jetty today for a comprehensive vehicle check-up and enjoy peace of mind knowing your car is winter-ready.

Regular car servicing with Apex Tyre & Auto is your best defense against the unpredictability of winter driving.

Regular Car Servicing and Winter Driving

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.

Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. Apex Tyre & Auto in Long Jetty 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 Apex Tyre & Auto in Long Jetty 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!
