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.

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.

The Impact of Cold Weather on Car Batteries

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.

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.

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.

Your car's safety and roadworthiness is dependent on the vehicle's ‘stopping, steering and stability' capabilities.

The suspension and shock absorbers are not just there to give you a smooth ride, they are integral for the correct operation of these three critical capabilities, therefore keeping you, your passengers and other road users safe. Regular servicing and maintenance can help to prevent problems, but if you notice anything amiss, contact us ASAP to get it checked out.

An important part of keeping all aspects of your vehicle working properly is to stick to your regular Log Book servicing schedule. However, if you notice any of the following symptoms you should get your vehicle checked out as soon as possible;

Nose diving and swerving - bonnet dips when braking or slowing down

Car rocks and rolls over bumps and doesn't hug bends when cornering

Our suspension and shock absorber services include inspection, diagnosis, repairs and replacements so we'll have your car fixed and back on the road time. Don't delay, book today.

Some of your suspension & shock absorber's important parts include

Springs - Springs are designed to absorb energy and there are several different types including leaf, coil, torsion bar or air assisted springs. The springs on different types of cars will be set up to different levels. Luxury cars, for example, may have soft springs to produce a smoother ride but this results in more body movement when the car brakes and corners. Sports cars, on the other hand, tend to have tighter springs which allow for more aggressive driving, including around corners, but also mean a less smooth ride.

Shock absorbers - these dissipate the energy absorbed by the springs. The car would not work properly without the shock absorbers because the springs would cause it to bounce up and down when you go over a bump rather than absorb that bump.

Strut - this is a shock absorber mounted inside a coil spring. Struts do the job of the springs and shock absorbers plus provide additional structural support for the suspension system.

Anti-sway bar - spans the width of the axle and joins the two sides of the suspension together to provide stability to the car while it is moving.

Top Quality: As a part of the Repco Authorised Service Centre network all of the work we perform is backed by the Repco Nationwide Warranty.

The Right Parts: Our mechanics are kept up on all the latest parts thanks to Repco Auto-Tech service bulletins. Additionally, we have access to the Repco spare parts network which means we can find you the right part at the right price.

RAS Auto Facts - Air Conditioning

As refrigerant levels decrease from naturally occurring evaporation over time or leaks from faulty hoses or connections, your air con system will begin to deteriorate and will have to work harder, which in turn means more fuel is getting used up.

Servicing your air con every 12 months you help prevent costly breakdowns, keep passengers safe by helping to prevent the build-up of potentially harmful substances and a well serviced automotive air conditioning system actually saves you money because it minimises fuel consumption.

Air con regas, repairs and inspections in Pakenham

Andrews Autos is your go-to destination for all car air conditioning needs, including re-gassing, inspections, diagnosis, repairs and servicing.  We also have FREE Loan Cars Available. 

Your vehicle's air conditioning system operates by using refrigerant to extract heat from the interior and expel it outside, ensuring that only cooled, or 'conditioned', air circulates within the car. Regularly inspecting the rubber seals for leaks or wear is crucial, as deterioration could indicate refrigerant loss.

Inadequate Cooling: If your car's air conditioning fails to cool effectively, it might be due to low refrigerant levels, a clogged condenser, or compressor issues.

Unusual Noises: Strange noises like banging or rattling when the AC is on could signal problems with the compressor or other components of the system.

Unpleasant Odours: A musty or mouldy smell from the vents often points to mould or mildew in the system or cabin air filter, necessitating cleaning or replacement.

Weak Airflow: Weak or inconsistent airflow can be caused by a broken ventilation fan, clogged hoses, or seal issues in the AC.

Leaking Fluids: Noticing refrigerant leaks inside or outside your vehicle may indicate damage or cracks in the air conditioning components.

Electrical Problems: Issues such as the AC not turning on or off, or other control faults, could be due to electrical malfunctions within the system.

To ensure optimal performance, the refrigerant in your vehicle's air conditioning system should ideally be refilled completely within four years of the car's manufacture and every two to three years thereafter.

Having your air conditioning serviced prior to the summer months and holiday road trips can make a world of difference to your comfort and safety. As temperatures soar across Australia, a well-functioning air con ensures a cool and pleasant interior, preventing heat-related discomfort and fatigue. Moreover, regular servicing can enhance the efficiency of your system, potentially lowering energy consumption and saving on fuel costs. It also provides an opportunity to identify and rectify any minor issues before they escalate into costly repairs or breakdowns during your travels. Ultimately, a pre-summer air con service helps ensure a hassle-free and enjoyable journey, whether you're commuting to work or exploring Australia's stunning landscapes on a holiday road trip.
