So how do you make sure your car is prepared for safe winter motoring?
Avoid the painful moment when you switch on the wipers during that first rainstorm and remember that at the end of last season you should have replaced them! Wiper blades age and become less effective - especially after a long hot summer. A good quality wiper blade is essential to help you see your way clear regardless of the weather. East-West Autos can recommend a wiper blade or assembly that is right for your car.
Fluids and other mechanisms in your car can be effected by cold weather; including coolants, oils and items such as glow plugs in diesel vehicles. Regular services are important - especially by an expert who recognises the best parts and products to keep your car in peak operating condition. We use high quality NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils and fluids that are designed for Australian conditions.
It is essential to adjust your driving style according to the road conditions you encounter. In situations involving wet weather or compromised visibility, it is crucial to reduce your speed and ensure there is an increased stopping distance between you and the vehicle in front. This approach minimises the risk of collisions due to slippery roads or delayed reaction times.
Furthermore, utilise your vehicle's lights to improve your visibility to others and your view of the road. In heavy rain, fog, or at dusk, turning on your headlights - even during the daytime - can significantly increase the likelihood of other drivers seeing you in time to prevent accidents. This simple action can dramatically enhance both your safety and that of others on the road.
There are warning signs that your brakes need inspecting, for example vibrating, spongy or slow responding brake pedal, strange sounds or difficult handling when applying pressure to your brakes. If your car is doing any of these you should get it checked out by a qualified expert. Brake inspections form part of our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report, so if you have concerns call us today and book in.
Driving on worn tyres is dangerous. Now is the time to check how much tread depth you have. If you notice spots which are worn unevenly, this could indicate that your shock absorbers or some other vital part of your steering and suspension systems are due for service or replacement.
Driving on tyres that are incorrectly inflated won't just cost you money on additional fuel; it can also impact your ability to brake effectively. You can usually find manufacturers recommendations on a panel inside the driver side door.
