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.

Temby Auto Service Car Air Conditioning Auto Facts

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.

Problems and Symptoms of a Faulty Car AC:

Regularly inspecting the condition of rubber seals for any signs of leaks or deterioration can help detect a loss of refrigerant early.

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.

Have you ever gotten into your car only to realise the lights were on overnight and now the battery is flat. do not fear... it's easier to jumpstart a car than you might think.

First you need a set of jumper cables. Then you need to find someone with a car who is willing to help. Make sure your valiant rescuer has a battery that is the same voltage as your battery.

Once you have these 2 things, follow the next 10 steps.
  

1.  Ask your rescuer to bring their car bonnet close to your car bonnet making sure that the cars are not touching.

2.  Ensure both cars are in neutral, both have the parking brakes on, but the car lights, radio and air-conditioning off. Open both bonnets and locate the batteries.

3.  You will notice 2 terminals on each battery. One might be red and/or have a "+" sign or "POS" written on it. The other might be black and/or have a "-" sign or "NEG" written on it.

4.  Firstly lift the red terminal protector and clamp red clip to the red/positive terminal of the flat battery.

5.  Then attach the other red clip to the red or positive terminal on the charged battery.

6.  Locate the terminal on the charged battery that is either black or has a "-" sign or "NEG" written on it. Lift the terminal cover and clamp one black clamp on the negative terminal.

7.  With the other black clamp, find an unpainted metal part of the engine in the car with the flat battery to act as an earth (possibly one of the metal struts that holds the bonnet open, a bolt in the engine or a clear metal part in the engine). The clamps will almost certainly damage painted areas of the vehicle, so choose wisely.

8.  Now start the car with the charged battery. After it has run for a few minutes try and start your car.

9.  If your car starts, KEEP IT RUNNING as you safely disconnect the jumper cables, close your bonnet and thank the hero that helped you.

10.  Now DRIVE for at least 15 minutes to ensure your battery has charge in it. Once you have driven for at least 15 minutes you can turn off your car. The longer you drive the car the more time the alternator has to replenish the charge in your battery.

If jump starting your car doesn't work, your battery may be beyond help and a call to your mechanic might be in order.

If a battery regularly goes flat or there is no good reason for it being flat (leaving lights on overnight for example) there may be a problem with the alternator (not charging the battery) or the battery itself may be beyond it's lifespan and no longer holding a charge. Good luck!

Have you ever gotten into your car only to realise the lights were on overnight and now the battery is flat. Do not fear ... it's easier to jumpstart a car than you might think...

There should never be a rumbling, groan or grinding sound coming from the wheels of your car, nor any vibration through the steering wheel (unless of course you are driving over corrugated roads!).

Wheel bearing issues usually come about due to poorly sealed bearings or lack of lubrication. Worn bearings are very dangerous as they can collapse and cause the wheel to detach from the car. They can also cause uneven wear on the tyres, loud noises and vibration in the car.

For emergency repairs or regular maintenance, visit us in Eltham for the following benefits;

Peace of mind: Not only are we a Repco Authorised Service Centre, but we have a combined 20 years of experience on our team. From large jobs to small, you know you are in good hands with our mechanics.

Ongoing Training: As part of the Repco family, our mechanics are offered training seminars and received service bulletins about the latest diagnostic equipment and vehicle upgrades.

Friendly Service: We are not just a shop, but a locally owned and operated community of mechanics who are looking out for our neighbours.

 Temby Auto Service Wheel Bearing Services include:

Repacking and adjustment of wheel bearings (where applicable)

The wheels on your vehicle need to operate in a smooth manner, regardless of surfaces and speeds. When there is damage to the wheel bearings, the drive is no longer smooth as friction will build up. This friction can then break down the wheel bearings and cause wear and tear on the axle.

Temby Auto Service can give you peace of mind by advising you what is causing the loud noise or vibration in your vehicle. It may be time to come in and see our mechanics if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms:

Possible causes of these symptoms include:

Damaged or leaking seal on the wheel bearings
