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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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. 

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.

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.

At Car Service Canberra, we use a state-of-the-art Safe-T-Stop machine to test for brake and suspension wear. You’ll receive a detailed report on your vehicle’s ability to stop safely in an emergency.
