Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. Temby Auto Service in Eltham 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 Temby Auto Service in Eltham 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 Temby Auto Service in Eltham.  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 Temby Auto Service 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 Eltham. 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.

Temby Auto Service (AU06087 ) are the logical choice to carry out all your Automotive Air Conditioning Regas, Repair, Servicing and Inspection needs in Eltham and the surrounding areas. Modern vehicles are highly sophisticated, and just like the engine, a typical car air conditioning system has components that require regular maintenance and occasional replacement to ensure reliable and efficient operation. When refrigerant has started to leak or evaporate your air con system will begin to deteriorate and will have to work harder, which in turn means more fuel is being consumed. Therefore it is important to scrutinise the condition of the rubber seals regularly for any signs of leaks or deterioration which may indicate a loss of refrigerant. Problems and Symptoms of a Faulty Car AC: Reduced Cooling Efficiency: If your air conditioning is blowing warm or less cold air, it may indicate a refrigerant leak. Strange Noises: Unusual sounds such as rattling or hissing can be signs of internal issues. Foul Odours: Musty or unusual smells coming from the vents could signal mould or bacteria build-up. Increased Fuel Consumption: A struggling AC system forces your engine to work harder, consuming more fuel. Visible Leaks: Leaking refrigerant or oil around the AC components can lead to system failure. Regularly inspecting the condition of rubber seals for any signs of leaks or deterioration can help detect a loss of refrigerant early. Book Your AC Service Before Summer We strongly recommend booking an air conditioning service before the temperatures rise in summer. A yearly car air conditioning service in Spring, can help prevent costly breakdowns, safeguard passengers from harmful substances, and actually save you money by improving fuel efficiency. Temby Auto Service care about the environment and have Arctick Authorisation (AU06087) to reliably and responsibly conduct automotive air conditioning regas, repair, servicing and inspection.

Temby Auto Service are the car service experts in Eltham and the surrounding areas. Over the years we’ve seen all manner of clutch problems and have the knowledge, expertise and technical ability to quickly get your clutch repaired and your car back on the road in next to no time. But are there tips on how to reduce wear and avoid an early Clutch Replacement?  Yes there are! Below are four tips from one of our Temby Auto Service mechanics on how to avoid needing a clutch replacement sooner than is necessary:  1. Don't ride the clutch (i.e. don't keep the clutch pedal pressed down slightly whilst you drive). 2. Sit in neutral when stopped for any length of time. 3. Always use the handbrake when parking 4. Change gears quickly (be decisive about which gear you need to change to and don't linger along the way). Doing these things will help your clutch stay in top condition for as long as possible and help you avoid unnecessary car maintenance! As with most things automotive, the best way to maintain the various components of your car is with a regular car service with a reputable mechanic such as the team at Temby Auto Service.
