Coolant mixes with water in an engine’s cooling system. It is designed to both lower the freezing point and raise the boiling point of the fluid in the system.

This means, by adding coolant/antifreeze to your car’s cooling system you’re able to increase the temperature a vehicle can run at before the cooling system will boil.

Just like petrol is used to power a vehicle, coolant is essential to ensure your car doesn’t overheat, causing a breakdown or failure of your radiator or engine.

Your washer nozzles are factory installed to spray windshield washer fluid over your windscreen, so you can clear any particle or dirt build up on your windshield for better vision while you drive. After time, you can get a build-up of dirt or car cleaning products which may clog the jets, or the spray may be missing the window, in this case you need to clear and then readjust your nozzles.

With modern cars, these days you can see when your engine is running low on oil by the indicator on your dashboard, but it’s always good to double check to make sure your car reading is accurate. You can also refer to your car manual on what is the specific type of oil that is recommended, and if you’re not sure where the engines oil dipstick is, your manual can help you locate it.

We answer our most asked questions like…

Your car and your home are two of the biggest purchases most of us will make in life, and with home prices skyrocketing, a car is more likely to be owned by most Australians these days. Like a house needs repairs to keep it in tip top condition, so does our vehicles, not only to keep them on the roads, but to safeguard you, your passengers and other drivers. Servicing your car is important to keep it performing at its best, by skipping a service you not only void your car warranty, you could be causing serious damage to your car.

The time it takes to get a car serviced, will depend on the work that needs to be carried out.

A minor service is recommended every 6 months or 10,000km and should take about 1 hour.

A major service is recommended every 24 months or 40,000km and should take about 2 – 4hours.

We always try to provide short waiting times, but if we find a problem and need to replace parts or resolve an issue, it will take a little longer, we will contact you and talk you through what we’ve found and how we’ll fix it.
