Winter weather can create challenging conditions on the road, making preparation essential for your safety and peace of mind. As rain, frost, and slippery surfaces become more common, ensuring your vehicle is ready to handle these changes is crucial.  Regular maintenance and a few simple checks can make a big difference in how your car performs and how safe you feel behind the wheel. By taking proactive steps now, you’ll be better equipped to face whatever the season throws your way.  What to check Before the cold, wet months settle in, it’s essential to give your vehicle a thorough check to ensure it’s in top condition for winter driving. Taking the time to inspect and maintain key components not only keeps you safer on the road but also helps prevent costly issues down the line. Here’s a guide to the most critical areas you should examine: Tyres  Your tyres are the only part of your car that makes direct contact with the road, so their condition is paramount. Check the tread depth to ensure it meets the legal minimum—at least 2/32 of an inch—but aim for deeper treads during wet weather to improve grip. Look for uneven wear, cracks, or bulges that could indicate a problem. Also, make sure your tyres are properly inflated, as low pressure can reduce traction and make handling more difficult on slippery surfaces. Refer to your vehicle’s manual or the sticker on the driver’s side door frame for the recommended pressure levels. Brakes  Effective brakes are crucial in wet and icy conditions. If you’ve noticed squeaking, grinding, or longer stopping distances, it’s time to have them checked by a professional. Even if you don’t notice any obvious signs of wear, it’s a good idea to have your brake pads and rotors inspected before winter. Properly functioning brakes will give you the control you need to navigate sudden stops or slick roads safely. Lights  With shorter days and reduced visibility during storms or heavy rain, your lights play a key role in keeping you and others safe. Inspect all your exterior lights, including headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals, to ensure they’re working correctly. Replace any burnt-out bulbs and clean cloudy or fogged lenses to maximize brightness. Don’t forget to check your high beams and hazard lights, as these can be essential in poor weather conditions. Windshield Wipers and Washer Fluid  Clear visibility is non-negotiable when driving in rain or snow. Check your windshield wipers for signs of wear, such as streaking or skipping, and replace them if necessary. Consider installing winter wiper blades designed to handle icy and wet conditions more effectively. Additionally, top off your windshield washer fluid with a formula designed for cold weather to prevent it from freezing. This simple step can help keep your windshield clean and clear when the weather takes a turn. Fluid Levels  Beyond washer fluid, other fluids in your vehicle need attention as well. Check your engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and transmission fluid, and top them off if needed. Coolant is particularly important in winter, as it helps prevent your engine from freezing and maintains proper temperature regulation. If it’s been a while since your last oil change, consider scheduling one now—fresh oil can improve engine performance in cold weather.  By completing these checks, you’ll ensure that your car is ready to handle winter’s challenges with confidence. Remember, taking care of your vehicle now can save you from stress and potential breakdowns later.

Sri Luck Autos will also only ever use fluids and lubricants that meet the specifications of the original car manufacturer. If you already own a new car or are thinking of purchasing one, make sure you clearly understand where your statutory rights begin and end Make sure you are aware of the differences between manufacturer, statutory and extended warranties to avoid making the wrong selection when it comes to servicing your new car. You are automatically covered by a statutory warranty, also known as a Consumer Guarantee, under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and this statutory protection can never be superseded by manufacturer or express warranties (which are offered by the car maker and car dealer respectively). A lack of disclosure requirements on car dealers at the point of sale regarding these contracts can easily lead the consumer into making a choice to be bound by a long term contract without access to all of the details needed to make a properly informed decision. So when purchasing a new vehicle, be on guard for new car dealers who may try to include “express” or “extended” warranties, often for free. As a general rule these ‘extra' warranties may include quite comprehensive restrictions or provisions, and are not always what they are cracked up to be. Many times these promises provide no real additional benefits not already given by the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with the dealership that sold the car. Such promises are very unlikely to focus on the potential negative aspects involved with taking a new car back to the dealer for service or repair. This includes how far you will need to go to get your car serviced or longer waiting times due to fewer available service locations or mechanics. Check out our frequently asked questions below for more information on New Car Service and warranties. If you need to know more, the AAAA website and ACCC website have some great information too. New Car Service Frequently asked questions What is a consumer guarantee? Under Australian Consumer Law (ACL), you are protected by a Consumer Guarantee which takes into account purchase price, realistic expectations of when a failure might occur, advertising claims and the conditions under which a vehicle should operate. Previously known as a Statutory Warranty, the Consumer Guarantee does not have a specific time limit associated with it nor can it ever be replaced by a manufacturers warranty, which is in addition to the Consumer Guarantee. What is a manufacturers warranty? Manufacturers warranties are essentially a promise to the buyer that the new vehicle will be free from defects for a specific time and that any such defects will entitle buyers to a repair or other compensation. According to the Competition and Consumer Act (2010), such warranties cannot state that a vehicle must be returned to an authorised dealer for service. What is an express or extended warranty? Often new car dealers will try to include "express" or "extended" warranties, sometimes for free, in the purchase of your new vehicle. These ‘extra' warranties are in addition to the manufacturers warranty and may include quite specific restrictions or provisions, usually in unclear or confusing language. Many of these contracts actually provide little or no additional benefits over and above the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with a specific car dealership. Extended warranties can (and often do) restrict you to a specific dealership, which can have its drawbacks. Can Sri Luck Autos service my new car without voiding the warranty? There is no requirement to service your car at a manufacturer’s dealership to preserve; Any manufacturer’s warranty (that may apply to your vehicle). Any state or territory based statutory warranty (that may apply to your vehicle). Your rights to Consumer Guarantees (formerly known as implied statutory warranties).

Will having my car serviced with Sri Luck Autos help maintain the value?

Proof of a regular, properly adhered to service schedule will add further supporting evidence the car is in good condition. In addition to maintaining your warranty with correct service procedures, Sri Luck Autos will stamp your logbook, which can prove invaluable should you ever decide to sell the car. What about extended warranty or service plans? Motor vehicle dealers sometimes offer their own extended (or express) warranties on vehicles. These extra warranties often begin after the manufacturer’s warranty and may stipulate that the vehicle must be serviced by the actual dealer offering the warranty. They are generally within their right to impose this condition, but the buyer should beware, such warranties are not always what they seem. Sri Luck Autos will be happy to advise you on the conditions and relative value before you commit to any service plan.

The right choice for new car service in Keysborough

As Easter weekend approaches, many of us look forward to the excitement of a road trip with family and friends. Whether you're heading to a nearby city or a scenic countryside, ensuring your car is in tip-top shape is essential for a smooth and safe journey. Here are some practical tips to help you prepare your vehicle before hitting the road and why Sri Luck Autos recommends regular log book servicing. What to check: Check Your Tyres: Before you set out, inspect your tyres for adequate tread and proper inflation. Under-inflated tyres can affect your car’s handling and fuel efficiency, while over-inflated ones can increase the risk of a blowout. Don't forget to check the spare tyre as well! Examine Fluid Levels: Ensure that your car's essential fluids, such as oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid, are at appropriate levels. Low fluid levels can lead to engine overheating or compromised braking, both of which are hazards on the road. Test Your Lights: Check all lights, including headlights, taillights, brake lights, and turn signals. Properly functioning lights are vital for visibility and safety, especially if you plan to drive at night or in adverse weather conditions. Inspect Brakes: Your car’s braking system is crucial for your safety. Listen for unusual noises when you apply the brakes and consider having them professionally inspected if you're unsure about their condition. Check the Battery: A weak or faulty battery can leave you stranded. Inspect the battery for corrosion and ensure it's securely mounted. If your battery is older, it might be worth testing its charge. Pack an Emergency Kit: Having an emergency kit can be invaluable. Include items like a first aid kit, flashlight, jumper cables, basic tools, and a tyre repair kit. Importance of Log Book Servicing: Regular log book servicing is essential to maintain your car’s performance and safety. At Sri Luck Autos, we follow the manufacturer's guidelines to keep your vehicle running efficiently. This proactive approach helps identify potential issues before they become major problems, ensuring your car is always road-ready. Preparing your car for a road trip doesn’t have to be daunting. By following these tips and scheduling regular log book services, you can enjoy your Easter weekend travels with peace of mind, knowing that you and your loved ones are safe on the road. Safe travels!

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. Sri Luck Autos in Keysborough 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 Sri Luck Autos in Keysborough 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!
