With the arrival of colder temperatures, the reliability of your vehicle is key. At Andrews Autos, we stress the importance of a battery inspection before winter to avoid any unexpected breakdowns and ensure your vehicle performs properly. Consider a Free Battery test for your peace of mind, just drop in. The Impact of Cold Weather on Car Batteries Cold conditions can severely affect car battery performance. Lower temperatures place greater demands on you battery and if it has a decreased capacity, then it will struggle. This situation could shorten the battery life and, in extreme cases, prevent the vehicle from starting. Batteries over three years old are particularly at risk as their efficiency declines. Routine assessments can help ensure your vehicle remains operational throughout the colder months. Importance of Regular Battery Checks The team at Andrews Autos know the importance of periodic battery testing, particularly with winter on the horizon. A battery past the three-year mark may experience performance degradation and reliability issues due to wear and tear. Early detection of potential problems through regular checks can sidestep the inconvenience of battery failure. Batteries for all Makes and Models Battery performance can significantly decline without any obvious signs, leading to an unexpected situation where your car won't start. We have an impressive range of batteries, ensuring a comprehensive coverage for all types of passenger vehicles, 4x4s, SUVs, Utes, Vans and even vehicles outfitted with advanced Stop-Start systems. Please be aware that a Battery Test and visual inspection are included automatically with every log book car service provided by us. Should your battery fail the test, we will let you know and with your consent, order in a new one, normally same day subject to availability. Quick Free Tests If you are unsure about the state of your battery, our specialists at Andrews Autos are here to help. Utilising tools like the Battery Load tester, we can quickly determine your battery's health.  As temperatures begin to fall, don't let your vehicle's battery health decline. At Andrews Autos, we are dedicated to making sure your vehicle is prepared for winter with a reliable battery. Get in touch with us today to arrange your pre-winter battery inspection and stay one step ahead of the cold weather.

Actually, the ACCC have consistently confirmed that under Australian Law, you are free to have your car service carried out by a mechanic or service centre of your choice provided they are qualified to do so. See our video to learn more.  New Car Log Book Service FAQ 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 Andrews 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). What steps will Andrews Autos take to protect my warranty? Andrews Autos are fully qualified to carry out log book servicing, and we ensure all work is performed according to the manufacturer’s specifications, using appropriate quality parts, fluids and lubricants where required - meaning the manufacturer's warranty remains intact. In addition, all work carried out by Andrews Autos is backed by the Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty. Can Andrews Autos stamp my logbook? Andrews Autos can and will stamp your log book to verify the work has been conducted by fully qualified staff according to manufacturer’s specifications, using appropriate quality parts, fluids & lubricants. Will having my car serviced with Andrews Autos help maintain the value? It goes without saying that a vehicle that has been well taken care of will maintain its value better than a poorly maintained one. 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, Andrews 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. Andrews Autos will be happy to advise you on the conditions and relative value before you commit to any service plan.

Your electronic fuel injection (EFI) system is designed to rapidly deliver fuel to the engine in a highly efficient manner, helping your vehicle to run smoothly, at peak performance and using the minimum amount of fuel. Symptoms of an EFI problem include the smell of fuel in the car, idling roughly, problems with starting and frequent stalling. If you suspect you have a problem, bring your vehicle in for a no obligation inspection before it gets any worse. We are located in Pakenham and also serve customers from the surrounding areas. Our various EFI services include items such as; Diagnostics, testing and inspection Repairs and replacements Cleaning your Throttle valve, fuel filter and fuel injector Checking sensors Checking engine control unit (ECU) Here's a bit more info about EFI problems and about how we diagnose and fix problems with your EFI; We use special computer Diagnostic equipment to test your car's ECU (electronic control unit). The ECU is basically a central computer which controls (amongst other things) the fuel injection process by taking information from the many sensors spread throughout the vehicle and making “decisions” based on pre-programmed inputs. The ECU can ‘self-diagnose' faults and send out a special fault code which our diagnostic scan equipment is able to extract and interpret. Quite often, the ECU is being given ‘wrong' information by faulty sensors or other environmental factors and this is when we have to call upon our expert knowledge and advanced diagnostic training to correctly identify the problem. Electronic probe testing and visual inspections can be made of your car's sensors, throttle valve, fuel filter, fuel pump and fuel injectors to make sure they are working correctly Any leaks must be located and fixed without delay - Air leaks will seriously affect performance and fuel economy and can cause severe damage to engine components and quite obviously we don't want fuel leaking out anywhere! Over time, Fuel lines, filters and valves can become clogged with contaminants or tank sediments so they'll need to be cleaned or replaced. Where necessary components can be unclogged using special flushing compounds. If any sensors or the lines connecting them to the ECU are damaged they'll need to be fixed or replaced. While your car technically might be able to function without some of these sensors, they all keep track of information that is vital to the efficiency, performance and safety of your vehicle so your ECU will usually not let you run the vehicle until they are fixed and it will often send the vehicle into a state of basic operation known as ‘limp mode' For a high quality Fuel Injection Service at a competitive price, contact Andrews Autos or book online. We can service customers in Pakenham and the surrounding areas.

Your vehicle's suspension system is vital for ensuring a smooth and secure drive. At Andrews Autos in Pakenham, we specialise in delivering high-quality suspension repair services, covering everything from minor adjustments to extensive repairs. Key Components of a Suspension System Knowing the parts of your car's suspension system can help you identify potential issues. Important components include: Springs: These help absorb shocks from the road. Shock Absorbers/Dampers: These control spring movement to maintain a smooth ride. Control Arms: These link the wheel hub and steering knuckle to the car's frame, allowing up-and-down movement. Bushings: These are small rubber or polyurethane components that minimise friction between metal parts. Struts: These combine a shock absorber and spring to support the vehicle's weight and enhance stability. Signs of Suspension Problems Regular checks of your car's suspension system are crucial for safe driving. Indicators that you may need an inspection include: Uneven tyre wear: This might indicate misalignment or worn suspension parts. Unusual noises: Clunking or knocking sounds could signal worn bushings or other suspension issues. Excessive bouncing: If your vehicle continues to bounce after a bump, the shock absorbers or struts might be failing. Steering difficulties: Pulling to one side or steering challenges may be due to a failing suspension system. The Benefit of Full Control Arm Replacement A common suspension problem is bushing wear and tear. While replacing the bushing alone might seem economical, opting for a complete control arm replacement has significant benefits. A new control arm includes fresh bushings and ball joints, which can greatly improve the durability and longevity of your suspension. At Andrews Autos, we suggest this thorough approach to ensure your vehicle's suspension is robust and dependable. Advantages of In-House Wheel Alignment Services At Andrews Autos, we provide in-house wheel alignment services, which are crucial for maintaining your vehicle’s suspension. Proper wheel alignment not only ensures even tyre wear and prolongs tyre life, but it also reduces unnecessary strain on your suspension components. Misaligned wheels can lead to excessive wear on your suspension, resulting in expensive repairs later. Our advanced wheel alignment service ensures your vehicle runs smoothly and safely, giving you peace of mind on the road. Why Opt for Andrews Autos? Expert Technicians: Our experienced technicians are skilled in diagnosing and repairing suspension systems. Comprehensive Services: We handle everything from minor tweaks to full control arm replacements. Quality Parts: We use top-quality parts to ensure your suspension system is reliable and long-lasting. Customer Satisfaction: Your safety and satisfaction are our highest priorities. A well-maintained suspension system is key to a comfortable and secure driving experience. Trust the specialists at Andrews Autos in Pakenham for all your suspension repair needs. Contact us today to arrange an inspection or repair service and discover the benefits of professional, comprehensive care for your vehicle.
