Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. Autofix Mechanical Repairs in Kelmscott 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 Autofix Mechanical Repairs in Kelmscott 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!

Faulty and low charge batteries are to be avoided. Don't wait till you're stranded somewhere on the side of the road, hoping for a jump start. It is easy to have your car, bike, truck battery tested or charged up at Autofix Mechanical Repairs in Kelmscott.  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 Autofix Mechanical Repairs 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 Kelmscott. 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.

Making Your Car Winter-Ready  Winter driving brings its own unique set of challenges in Kelmscott, WA. While we might not contend with the snow-laden roads our friends in colder climes do, the chilly overnight temperatures can result in frost and icy windshields, making for hazardous morning commutes. Regular car servicing is your first line of defence in ensuring your vehicle navigates these winter woes with ease. Here’s why you should keep up with your car's maintenance regime, particularly as the colder months approach. Understand the Essentials of Winter Preparedness At the heart of winter preparedness is ensuring your vehicle operates efficiently and safely in colder temperatures. Mechanics at reputable service centres, like Autofix Mechanical Repairs in Kelmscott, perform essential checks and maintenance tasks that play a critical role in winterizing your car. The Significance of Engine and Battery Checks
During a service, special attention is given to the engine and battery. Cold temperatures can significantly impact engine performance and battery life. Regular checks ensure that any potential issues are identified and remedied before they become serious problems, keeping you from being stranded on a cold morning. The Role of Oil and Fluid Checks
Oil and other fluids thicken in colder temperatures, affecting their flow within your vehicle. Regular oil changes and fluid checks ensure your car’s internals are well-lubricated and functioning correctly, safeguarding against the risks that come with cold snaps. Tyre Inspections for Safer Winter Driving
Tyre pressure and tread depth are critical for safe driving in any season but become even more crucial in winter. Properly inflated tyres with adequate tread can significantly reduce the risk of accidents on frosty mornings. Mechanics make these checks a standard part of the servicing routine. Visibility Matters: Lights and Windscreen Maintenance
Reduced visibility is a common issue during winter, with shorter days and potential foggy conditions. Regular service includes checks on all lights to ensure they are fully operational, enhancing safety through better visibility. Windscreen care, including wiper blade replacements and demister checks, also plays a vital role in ensuring you can see and be seen. Brake System: The Non-negotiable Check
The brake system undergoes thorough checks during regular servicing. In winter, having optimally functioning brakes is non-negotiable. Wet or icy conditions mean stopping distances can increase, so ensuring your brakes are in top condition is crucial. Custom Solutions for Winter Driving Not all vehicles are the same, and each might require specific considerations for winter. 4WD vehicles, for instance, might benefit from specific lift kits, upgrades, and modifications tailored for colder conditions. Autofix Mechanical Repairs's expert mechanics can provide advice and services customised to your vehicle’s needs. The Importance of Professional Servicing While DIY car care can cover some basics, professional servicing brings a level of thoroughness and expertise that is critical for winter preparedness. Certified mechanics have the knowledge and tools to perform comprehensive checks and maintenance tasks that might be overlooked otherwise. Regular Servicing: Beyond Winter Preparedness While this discussion highlights the importance of preparing your car for winter, regular servicing offers benefits year-round. From improved performance and fuel efficiency to enhanced safety and longevity of your vehicle, the advantages are manifold. Though Kelmscott might not experience severe winters, the reality of frosty mornings cannot be ignored. Regular servicing ensures that issues common to cold weather—like battery failures or fluid thickening—are addressed before they impact your vehicle’s performance. In choosing a service centre like Autofix Mechanical Repairs in Kelmscott, you’re entrusting your vehicle to a team of dedicated professionals. Their commitment to offering the very best in car servicing and automotive repairs ensures that your car is not just ready for winter but is maintained to the highest standards year-round. In conclusion, the key to safe and reliable winter driving in Kelmscott WA, lies in regular, professional car servicing. By attending to essential checks and maintenance, you not only prepare your vehicle for the specific challenges of winter but also enhance its overall performance and longevity.  So, before the cold really sets in, make sure your car is winter-ready with the help of your trusted local mechanics.
