Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. Forro's Auto-Tech in Dubbo 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 Forro's Auto-Tech in Dubbo 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 Forro's Auto-Tech in Dubbo.  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 Forro's Auto-Tech 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 Dubbo. 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.

Maintaining your vehicle in top condition is a crucial responsibility for any driver, no matter the season. It's not just about avoiding inconveniences but about ensuring safety on the road. Your vehicle is more than a means of transport; it is your lifeline. Regardless of whether you are driving in winter's harsh conditions or navigating the summer heat, keeping your car in excellent shape is essential.  Safety Checks To guarantee safe driving in all weather conditions, it is essential to perform regular checks on your vehicle's primary safety features: Brakes are the first line of defense against accidents. Whether it's icy winter roads or rain-soaked summer streets, effective brakes are vital. Weather conditions can impact braking efficiency, with water, snow, and ice reducing friction between brake pads and discs. Well-maintained, responsive brakes are non-negotiable for safe driving. Windscreen wipers are often neglected in routine vehicle maintenance, yet they are crucial for maintaining clear visibility. Good visibility is essential in all seasons, and wipers play a significant role in ensuring you can see the road ahead. Worn-out wipers can leave streaks and smears, impairing your view. Whether in winter's gloom or summer's rain, clear visibility is critical for safe driving. Tyres are your vehicle’s only point of contact with the road, making their condition paramount. Tyres designed for specific weather conditions, such as winter tyres, offer better grip and handling on cold, slippery surfaces. These tyres are made from a softer rubber compound that remains flexible at lower temperatures for enhanced traction. Regularly checking tyre pressure, tread depth, and ensuring you have the right tyres for the season are essential steps in vehicle maintenance. Battery health is crucial as it powers your vehicle's electrical systems. Cold weather can drain a battery quickly, but summer heat can also cause it to overheat and fail. Regularly testing your battery's charge and ensuring its connections are clean and secure can prevent unexpected breakdowns. Lights, including headlights, brake lights, and indicators, are essential for visibility and communication on the road. Ensure all lights are functioning correctly and replace any burnt-out bulbs immediately. Clean lenses regularly to maintain brightness and visibility. Fluid levels, including oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid, should be checked frequently. Proper fluid levels are crucial for the optimal performance of various vehicle systems. In colder months, ensure you have winter-grade fluids that can withstand lower temperatures. Heating and air conditioning systems are vital for comfort and safety. The heating system is essential for defrosting windows in the winter, while the air conditioning system keeps you cool in the summer. Regularly servicing these systems ensures they function effectively when needed. Forro's Auto-Tech: Your Year-Round Vehicle Maintenance Partner.
