Discover the importance of timely maintenance for a safe and smooth journey As the Easter holidays approach, it’s a great time to start planning your travel, whether you're hitting the open road for a long weekend getaway or simply staying local in Wedgefield... A key part of this preparation involves ensuring your vehicle is in top condition to handle the journey. Regular car servicing not only prolongs the life of your vehicle but also ensures your safety on the road, especially during busy holiday periods like Easter. Why Regular Servicing is Essential Regular car servicing is akin to a health check-up for your vehicle. It helps identify and rectify potential issues before they become major problems. By keeping up with your vehicle’s maintenance schedule, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your car is in peak condition. This is particularly crucial for long drives, where the demands on your car are greater than during typical day-to-day driving. Some of the essential tasks carried out during regular servicing include checking and replacing oil and filters, inspecting brakes, and assessing the condition of tires. These components are vital to your vehicle's performance and safety. For instance, clean oil and filters ensure that your engine runs smoothly, while properly functioning brakes and tires are critical for safe driving, especially during sudden stops or adverse weather conditions.

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. CWC Lube Mechanical Services and Smash Repairs Port Hedland in Port Hedland 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 CWC Lube Mechanical Services and Smash Repairs Port Hedland in Port Hedland 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!

It is easy to have your car, bike, truck battery tested or charged up at CWC Lube Mechanical Services and Smash Repairs Port Hedland in Port Hedland.  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 CWC Lube Mechanical Services and Smash Repairs Port Hedland 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 Port Hedland. 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.

The Christmas holidays are fast approaching, and for many of us, that means hitting the road to visit family, explore new destinations, or simply soak up the festive cheer. However, before you embark on your journey, it's crucial to ensure your vehicle is in top-notch condition. Regular car servicing not only keeps your vehicle running smoothly but also guarantees peace of mind during your holiday travels. Let's delve into why scheduling a service before the Christmas rush is a wise decision and explore the key benefits of regular car maintenance. Beat the Holiday Rush: Book Early for Your Car Service As the Christmas holidays draw near, workshops across the country become bustling hubs of activity. Many will close over the holiday period, making it challenging to secure a last-minute appointment. To avoid disappointment and potential delays, it's wise to book your vehicle's service well in advance. By planning ahead, you ensure your car receives the attention it needs, leaving you free to focus on festive preparations and road trip plans. What Does Regular Car Servicing Entail? Regular car servicing involves a comprehensive check-up of your vehicle's critical components to ensure optimal performance and safety. Here's a look at the essential tasks typically undertaken during a standard service: 1. Oil and Filter Change: 
Fresh oil and a clean filter keep your engine running smoothly, enhancing performance and efficiency. This simple step prevents wear and tear, prolonging the life of your vehicle. 2. Brake Inspection: 
Ensuring your brakes are in excellent condition is paramount for safety. A professional mechanic will check for wear and tear, replacing brake pads or discs if necessary. 3. Tyre Check and Rotation: 
Properly inflated and balanced tyres are vital for road safety, especially during long holiday journeys. Regular rotation helps even out wear, extending tyre life and maintaining traction. 4. Fluid Levels: 
From coolant to brake fluid, maintaining the correct fluid levels is essential for vehicle operation. A thorough service will include checking and topping up all necessary fluids. 5. Battery Test: 
A reliable battery is crucial for starting your vehicle. Regular servicing ensures your battery is functioning optimally, reducing the risk of breakdowns. 6. Lights and Wipers: 
Visibility is key to safe driving. During a service, mechanics will inspect your vehicle's lights and wipers, replacing any faulty bulbs or worn-out wiper blades. The Peace of Mind of a Nationwide Warranty One of the standout benefits of entrusting your vehicle to a professional mechanic is the peace of mind that comes with a nationwide warranty. Knowing that your car has been serviced by an expert backed by such a warranty offers reassurance as you set off on your holiday adventure. This warranty ensures that any issues arising from the service are covered, no matter where your journey takes you. It's a safety net that allows you to focus on enjoying the festivities without worrying about potential car troubles. Ensuring Safety and Reliability for Christmas Holiday Driving When preparing for a holiday road trip, safety and reliability should be at the forefront of your mind. Regular car servicing plays a pivotal role in achieving both. A well-maintained vehicle is less likely to experience breakdowns, which can be especially inconvenient and stressful during the holiday season. Furthermore, a thorough service ensures that your car is equipped to handle any weather conditions, from summer heat to unexpected rainstorms. The Joy of a Stress-Free Road Trip Imagine setting off on your Christmas holiday with complete confidence in your vehicle's performance. Regular servicing eliminates the nagging worry of potential car issues, allowing you to fully enjoy the journey. Whether you're traveling with family, friends, or solo, knowing that your vehicle is in prime condition transforms the road trip into a joyful, stress-free experience. Preparing your vehicle for the Christmas holidays is a crucial step in ensuring a safe and enjoyable journey. By booking your car service early and entrusting it to a professional mechanic backed by a nationwide warranty, you're investing in peace of mind and reliability.  Regular car servicing not only enhances your vehicle's performance but also safeguards against potential issues, allowing you to focus on what truly matters: celebrating the festive season with loved ones. So, before you deck the halls and load up the car with gifts and holiday essentials, remember to prioritize your vehicle's health.
