Understanding Tyre Tread and Its Importance in Wet Conditions  Tyre tread is the pattern of grooves and ridges on the surface of your tyres, and it plays a critical role in maintaining traction and grip. This is especially vital when driving on wet or slippery roads, where effective tread helps to channel water away from the tyre’s contact patch, reducing the risk of aquaplaning. When the tread is worn or insufficient, your tyres are unable to grip the road properly, which can lead to skidding or longer stopping distances. Ensuring your tyres have adequate tread depth is a key aspect of road safety, particularly during rainy weather or in areas like Mitchell where weather conditions can vary. Proper tyre care is essential for ensuring safety, maximising performance, and extending the lifespan of your tyres. If you're looking for expert advice to maintain your tyres and enhance your driving experience, here are five key tips to keep in mind: 1. Regularly Check Tyre Pressure  Maintaining the correct tyre pressure is crucial for safe and efficient driving. Under-inflated tyres can lead to poor fuel efficiency, uneven wear, and reduced grip, while over-inflated tyres can impact your vehicle's handling and increase the risk of a blowout. Check your tyre pressure at least once a month and before long trips. Be sure to use the manufacturer's recommended pressure levels, which can usually be found in the owner’s manual or on a label inside the driver’s door. 2. Inspect Tyres for Wear and Damage  Visually inspect your tyres regularly for signs of wear, punctures, or cuts. Uneven wear can indicate alignment or suspension issues, while bulges or cracks may compromise the tyre’s structural integrity. If you notice anything concerning, consult a trusted service provider like Car Service Canberra in Mitchell for professional advice. 3. Rotate Your Tyres Regularly  Tyre rotation helps ensure even wear across all tyres, prolonging their lifespan. Ideally, tyres should be rotated every 10,000 kilometres or as recommended in your vehicle's maintenance schedule. Rotation patterns may vary depending on whether your car is front-wheel, rear-wheel, or all-wheel drive, so consult the Service Team at Car Service Canberra for guidance. 4. Keep Your Tyres Aligned and Balanced  Wheel alignment and balancing play a vital role in tyre care. Misaligned wheels can cause uneven tyre wear and negatively affect steering and handling. Similarly, unbalanced tyres can lead to vibrations and uneven tread wear. If you notice your car pulling to one side or experiencing vibrations, it’s time to book a wheel alignment and balancing service at Car Service Canberra. 5. Replace Tyres at the Right Time  Tyres don’t last forever, and driving on worn-out tyres can be extremely dangerous. A good rule of thumb is to replace your tyres when the tread depth is less than 1.6mm – the legal minimum in Australia. However, it’s often safer to replace them before they reach this limit, especially if you frequently drive in challenging conditions. Same Day Tyre service We have a large range of Toyo tyres in stock and can fit a variety of passenger and 4WD vehicles. As well as perform puncture repairs, wheel alignments and balancing and tyre rotation. At every service we inspect your tread depth and record this on your service report so you can monitor the wear of your tyres. This means you can book in our services at the right time and continue to drive safely.

Tyre Care Tips for Car Owners in Canberra

Ensure your car is winter-ready to tackle Canberra’s frosty mornings and rainy days safely. Cold weather can impact various parts of your vehicle, so book a service today with Car Service Canberra to stay safe on the roads.  Safe Winter Driving Tips Keep Your Vision Clear Have you ever turned on your windscreen wipers during the first rain of the season only to realise they’re worn out? Exposure to Australia’s diverse weather conditions can leave wipers ineffective. High-quality wiper blades, such as Trico, are essential for clear visibility in all weather. Car Service Canberra can recommend the right wiper blades or assemblies for your car.  Maintain Fluids and Components  Cold weather can affect your car's fluids and other essential components, such as coolants, oils, and even glow plugs in diesel vehicles. Regular servicing ensures these are in top condition. At Car Service Canberra, we use premium products like NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils, specifically formulated for Australian conditions.  Drive to Suit the Weather  Always adjust your driving to suit the conditions. When visibility is low or roads are wet, slow down and allow for a larger stopping distance between your car and the one ahead.  Are Your Brakes Reliable? Brakes are crucial for safety, especially in winter. If you notice symptoms like a vibrating or spongy brake pedal, unusual sounds, or difficulty handling when braking, it’s time for an inspection. At Car Service Canberra, brake checks are part of our 65-Point Vehicle Inspection Report, so call us today to book in if you’re concerned.  Check Your Car Battery Cold weather can take a toll on your car battery, often reducing its efficiency or causing it to fail altogether. Low temperatures make it harder for the battery to deliver sufficient power to start your vehicle. At Car Service Canberra, we can test your battery's condition and provide expert advice on whether it needs replacing. Don’t wait until your car won’t start in the morning – visit us in Mitchell for a quick battery check and ensure reliable performance throughout winter. Check Your Tyres and Suspension Worn tyres pose serious risks, particularly in wet or icy conditions. If your tyres show uneven wear, it may be a sign of issues with your shock absorbers or other steering and suspension components. Incorrectly inflated tyres can also increase fuel consumption and reduce braking efficiency. You’ll usually find the correct tyre pressure listed on the panel inside the driver’s door.  Find out more about the components that affect your tyre wear on the links below:  Tyres and Wheel Service Shock Absorber Auto Facts Steering and CV Boots Braking and Disc Pads At Car Service Canberra, we use a state-of-the-art Safe-T-Stop machine to test for brake and suspension wear.

Drive Safer this Winter

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. Car Service Canberra in Mitchell 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 Car Service Canberra in Mitchell 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!
