Planning a road trip is exciting, but before you hit the open road, it's crucial to ensure your vehicle is in top condition. A few simple checks can prevent unexpected breakdowns and keep you safe during your adventure.  Here's a list of essential things to inspect: Tyre Pressure and Condition: Properly inflated tyres improve fuel efficiency and handling. Check the tyre pressure using a reliable gauge and adjust it according to your vehicle's specifications. Also, inspect the tyre tread for any signs of wear or damage. Oil Levels: Engine oil is vital for smooth operation. Check the oil level using the dipstick and top it off if needed. If the oil appears dirty or it's been a while since your last change, consider having it replaced. Brake Functionality: Test your brakes by gently pressing them to ensure they respond promptly. Listen for any unusual sounds, such as squeaking or grinding, which might indicate a need for maintenance. Lights: Verify that all your vehicle's lights are functioning properly, including headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and hazard lights. This ensures visibility and safety, especially when driving at night or in adverse weather conditions. Fluid Levels: Check all essential fluids, including coolant, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Proper levels are crucial for the efficient functioning of your vehicle. Battery Health: Inspect the battery for any corrosion and ensure the connections are tight. If your battery is more than a few years old, it might be wise to have it tested to prevent any unexpected issues. Wipers and Windshield: Ensure your windshield is clean and the wipers are in good condition. Replace them if they leave streaks or fail to clear the glass effectively. Regular servicing is key to maintaining your vehicle's performance and longevity. For drivers in Forestville, Frenchs Forest Motors is the go-to workshop for all your pre-road trip needs. Their skilled technicians can assist with inspections, repairs, and additional services to ensure your vehicle is ready for the journey ahead.

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. Frenchs Forest Motors in Forestville 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 Frenchs Forest Motors in Forestville 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!
