Setting off on a road trip is always a thrilling endeavour, offering the opportunity to explore new places and create cherished memories. Yet, before you set off, ensuring your car is fully prepared is a crucial step that shouldn't be overlooked. A well-prepared vehicle not only boosts your safety but also makes your journey smoother and more enjoyable. Things to check Before embarking on your road trip, it's essential to give your vehicle a comprehensive once-over to ensure everything is in proper working order. This pre-trip check can prevent unwanted hiccups and keep your journey smooth and enjoyable. Tyres: Begin by checking your tyres. Ensure they are properly inflated and have sufficient tread depth. Under-inflated or worn tyres can lead to poor vehicle handling and increase the likelihood of accidents. A quick tyre inspection can significantly improve safety. Fluid Levels: Verify that all fluid levels are at the correct levels. This includes engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windscreen washer fluid. Insufficient levels can cause performance problems or even mechanical breakdowns. Topping them up before you depart can prevent potential issues down the road. Braking System: Inspect your braking system thoroughly. Look at the brake pads and discs for any wear and tear. Faulty brakes can endanger your safety, so it’s imperative they are in optimal condition. Lights and Indicators: Ensure that all your lights and indicators are working correctly. This encompasses headlights, brake lights, and turn signals. Malfunctioning lights can reduce your visibility and may lead to fines if you’re stopped by authorities. Battery: Test the car's battery to confirm it holds a charge, and check for signs of corrosion or damage. A weak battery could leave you stranded, which is particularly undesirable during a road trip. Belts and Hoses: Inspect the belts and hoses under the bonnet for signs of wear, cracks, or leaks. These parts are often neglected but are essential for the proper functioning of your vehicle. Windscreen Wipers: Make sure your windscreen wipers are in good condition. Worn-out wipers can impair visibility, especially in adverse weather. It’s advisable to replace them if they show signs of deterioration. Spare Tyre: Don’t overlook the importance of having a spare tyre and the necessary tools to change it. A flat tyre is a common issue, and being prepared can turn a potentially stressful situation into a minor inconvenience. Emergency Kit: Finally, pack an emergency kit. Items such as a first-aid kit, torch, and basic tools are essential. Depending on your travel plans, you may need additional items, so customise your kit to fit your needs. Importance of regular servicing Regular servicing is fundamental in ensuring your vehicle remains reliable and safe on the road. By keeping up with scheduled maintenance, you can identify and rectify potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs or breakdowns. Prioritising regular vehicle servicing is an essential aspect of car ownership. It not only boosts your vehicle's performance and safety but also saves you money and enhances your driving experience. By staying on top of maintenance, you ensure your car remains in excellent condition and ready for any adventure on the road. Come and see the team at Car One Woolloongabba to get your car serviced before hitting the road!

A well-prepared vehicle not only boosts your safety but also makes your journey smoother and more enjoyable.

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 One Woolloongabba in Woolloongabba 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 One Woolloongabba in Woolloongabba 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!
