Winter conditions can take a toll on your vehicle. Cold weather can affect battery performance, tire pressure, and the overall functionality of your car. Regular servicing can identify and address potential issues before they become serious problems. 

Our Vehicle Inspection Report is free with every service at Michael Baker Automotive in Blayney. Our qualified mechanics will visually check over the important components of your vehicle and provide you with a written report on the condition of your vehicle. We can then help you understand any concerns which may need to be attended so that you can drive safe this winter with Michael Baker Automotive and Repco Authorised Service.

Driving in wet weather requires extra caution and preparation. Ensuring your car is in top condition can significantly improve your safety on the road. Here are the important things to check:

Tyres: Ensure your tyres have sufficient tread depth and are properly inflated. Worn tyres are less effective at gripping wet surfaces, increasing the risk of skidding. If your tyres are wearing 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.

Brakes: Wet conditions can make stopping quickly a challenge. Regularly check your brake pads and discs for wear and tear including vibrating, spongy or slow responding brake pedal, strange sounds or difficult handling when applying pressure to your brakes.

Windshield Wipers: Effective wipers are crucial for visibility during rain. Replace any that are worn out to ensure they can clear your windshield efficiently. Constant exposure to the Australian conditions means your wipers will wear out. A good quality wiper blade like Trico is essential to help you see your way clear regardless of the weather

Lights: Check that all your lights are working correctly, including headlights, tail lights, brake lights, and indicators. This improves your visibility to other drivers and helps you see the road better.

Battery: Cold weather can strain your battery. Have it tested to ensure it's in good condition and can handle the extra load.

Fluids: Keep an eye on essential fluids like oil, coolant, and windshield washer fluid. Make sure they are at optimal levels to maintain your car's performance. Regular services are important - especially by a professional technician who understands the correct products and parts to keep your car in its best operating condition. We use high quality NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils and fluids that are designed for Australian conditions.  

Heater and Defroster: These systems are vital for maintaining visibility and comfort in cold, wet conditions. Ensure they are functioning properly.

When it comes to preparing your car for winter, Michael Baker Automotive is your trusted partner. We offer comprehensive vehicle checks and services to ensure your car is ready for any weather condition. Our team of skilled technicians is dedicated to providing top-notch service to keep you safe on the road.
