Insights from Eagle Farm Auto Care, Eagle Farm's Best Mechanic

Maintaining your vehicle with regular servicing is crucial for ensuring its longevity, performance, and safety. At Eagle Farm Auto Care, recognised as Eagle Farm's best mechanic, we emphasize the significance of routine maintenance to keep your car running smoothly. Here’s a comprehensive guide on why you should service your car regularly.

Regular car servicing is not just about keeping your vehicle in good shape; it also ensures your safety and saves you money in the long run. Here are some key reasons why you should not skip your car’s scheduled maintenance:

Regular servicing helps identify potential issues before they become major problems. Our expert mechanics at Eagle Farm Auto Care perform thorough checks to ensure your brakes, tires, and suspension are in optimal condition, reducing the risk of accidents.

A well-maintained car runs more efficiently. Regular oil changes, filter replacements, and fluid top-ups ensure that your engine and other components perform at their best, providing a smoother and more enjoyable driving experience.

Addressing minor issues during routine servicing can prevent costly repairs down the road. Regular maintenance helps avoid major breakdowns and extends the lifespan of your vehicle, ultimately saving you money.

A regularly serviced car with a comprehensive service history is more attractive to potential buyers. Keeping up with your car’s maintenance schedule can significantly enhance its resale value.

At Eagle Farm Auto Care, we offer comprehensive servicing packages that cover all essential aspects of vehicle maintenance. Here’s what you can expect during a standard service:

1. Oil and Filter Change
Regular oil changes are vital for lubricating engine components and reducing wear and tear. We also replace the oil filter to ensure clean oil circulates through the engine.

2. Brake Inspection
Our mechanics thoroughly inspect the braking system, checking for worn-out brake pads, leaks, and other potential issues to ensure your safety on the road.

3. Tire Check
We examine the condition and pressure of your tires, ensuring they have sufficient tread depth and are properly inflated for optimal performance and safety.

4. Fluid Levels
All essential fluids, including coolant, brake fluid, power steering fluid, and windshield washer fluid, are checked and topped up as needed.

5. Battery Test
We test your car’s battery to ensure it is functioning correctly and has sufficient charge to avoid unexpected breakdowns.

6. General Inspection 
Our comprehensive inspection covers the vehicle’s lights, wipers, belts, hoses, and other critical components, identifying any signs of wear or damage.

The frequency of car servicing depends on various factors, including the make and model of your vehicle, its age, and your driving habits. However, a general guideline is to service your car every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers or at least once a year. Always refer to your vehicle’s owner manual for specific recommendations.

Car Exhaust System Service & Reapairs in Eagle Farm

You can avoid being "that car" stuck on the side of the road with steam pouring from under the hood while the frustrated occupants fry in the heat of the fierce Australian summer.

An overheating car isn't only caused by Summer weather however, your engine produces considerable levels of heat through normal operation and it's the radiator and cooling system that works hard to prevent your car, and you, from being damaged by all that heat.

 A special fluid called coolant is added to your system to help it cope with all that heat and which also prevents liquids from freezing whilst protecting the system from rust and corrosion as well.

Signs you need a radiator flush or cooling system service:
As well as an overheating car, a temperature gauge that's reading hotter than normal or a car leaving puddles behind means it is best to have your cooling system checked over by a professional. If you notice these signs in your vehicle come and see the team at Eagle Farm Auto Care.

We can inspect your radiator and cooling system properly and determine if you would benefit from a radiator flush or other cooling system related service. Our fully trained team of experts have all the knowledge and experience required to perform a range of services to help your cooling system cope.will perform a radiator flush, using a solution that removes build up. Once the cooling system is clean, the solution is drained and coolent replaced, your car's cooling system will be running like a dream: a radiator flush might be just what your car needs to bring it back to peak performance.

Where necessary we will perform a radiator flush, using a solution that removes build up. Once the cooling system is clean, the solution is drained and fresh coolant added, your car's cooling system should be running like a dream: a radiator flush might be just what your car needs to bring it back to peak performance.

What are the benefits of a radiator flush?

Your radiator will be more efficient, reliable and live longer.

Your engine will be more efficient and have an increased life expectancy.

Boost your vehicles performance and power.

The water pump will last longer due to better protection and lubrication.

How often should i get a coolant system flush?
Your car maker's log book will recomend intervals for when to service your cooling system, It is generally suggested that you flush your radiator coolant every two years or 40,000 km's whichever comes first. However, the size of your engine, local seasons, the quality of your current coolant, and the total km's driven can all have an effect on how regular you'll need to replace the coolant in your radiator.

At Eagle Farm Auto Care, we offer a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report for free as part of any minor, major or log book service on your vehicle. This includes inspecting the level and condition of coolant in your system and the written report will tell you if we feel a radiator flush, coolant replacement or any repairs are required to maintain the safety and performance of your vehicle.

If I don't get a radiator flush - what can happen?
Over time rust and scale deposits collect and the whole system becomes blocked and not so effective at cooling and protecting your car. This build up of rust and debris can damage the important parts of your cooling system including your water pump, radiator, hoses and thermostat, affecting the lifespan of those parts and leading to expensive repairs or replacements in the future.

Can I flush the radiator myself?
Websites and How-To's are around giving advice on how to flush a radiator yourself - it's not something we would advise you to do. Today's vehicles are complex and mistakes like incomplete flushing or changing the coolant in your vehicle without flushing can disturb the sediment and cause blockages in your thermostat or radiator. 

 It's best to have your systems examined regularly by a qualified mechanic, and properly flushed before being refilled with the specific type of coolant for your car, the system purged of any air pockets, and then the whole system checked by a professional again to ensure full working order and to prevent any costly breakdowns in the future. 

Radiator coolant is toxic and needs to be handled very carefully.
Radiator Coolant fluid has a sweet smell which can be attractive to children and pets so proper storage is very important - having a trained technician take care of this job means not handling or having dangerous chemicals around your house. Dangerous coolant also needs to be disposed of in the proper manner, professional workshops can have the coolant recycled or properly disposed of to save the environment.
