Drive Safe this Winter with a 65 Point Written Vehicle Inspection Report

Our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report is free with every service at Middleborough Car Care in Blackburn South. 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 Middleborough Car Care and Repco Authorised Service.

This could mean there are very different approaches to be prepared for winter driving; however the fundamentals of safe winter motoring remain the same. So how do you make sure your car is set for safe winter motoring? 

We've all experienced that moment where you turn on the wipers on the first rainy day and only then remember you should have replaced them! Wiper blades don't last forever, especially sitting under the harsh Australian sun all summer. A good quality wiper blade like Trico is essential to help you see your way clear regardless of the weather. Middleborough Car Care can recommend a wiper blade or assembly that is right for your car.

Fluids and other components in your car can be impacted by cold weather; especially coolants, oils and items such as glow plugs in diesel vehicles. Regular services are important - especially by a professional who understands the correct parts and products 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.  

Conditions change - and you need to adjust, as well. In wet weather or poor visibility, slow down and leave a larger than normal stopping distance between yourself and the vehicle in front. 

Keep a look out for the warning signs that your brakes need an inspection, like 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 mechanic. 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 that your tyres have plenty of tread left. If you spot uneven tyre wear, this could indicate that your shock absorbers or some other vital part of your steering and suspension systems are due for service or replacement.

As well as costing you more money on fuel, driving on incorrectly inflated tyres can also impact your stopping distance. You can usually find manufacturers recommendations on a panel inside the driver side door.

Drive on the safe side and book in today for a service or a 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report.

An Engine Diagnostic Check using a specialised scan tool allows us to identify problems in a vehicle's engine, transmission, exhaust system, brakes and other major components.

When your vehicle's 'Check Engine' light comes on, it's essential to diagnose the issue promptly to avoid any further damage. Here are the top 10 reasons why your 'Check Engine' light may turn on.

Firstly, an ignition system malfunction can cause the 'Check Engine' light to illuminate as it affects the vehicle's performance and emission output. Additionally, a damaged oxygen sensor that measures the oxygen level in exhaust gases can lead to excessive fuel consumption, resulting in the engine light turning on.

Secondly, a loose fuel cap can also cause the 'Check Engine' light to appear, as it allows oxygen to enter the fuel tank, negatively affecting the car's performance. Moreover, a faulty mass air flow sensor can cause the engine light to come on, as it helps the car's computer determine the air to fuel mixture.

Thirdly, a catalytic converter can turn toxic carbon monoxide into harmless carbon dioxide. However, if it fails, it will cause the engine light to turn on. Fourthly, issues with the emissions system can lead to performance problems and increase the vehicle's pollution, which will prompt the 'Check Engine' light to come on.

Furthermore, engine misfiring, which is an issue with combustion that causes a loss of power and fuel economy, could also prompt the 'Check Engine' light to come on. Low fluids in the car's oil, transmission fluid, or brake fluid levels can also cause the engine light to appear.

Lastly, a malfunctioning throttle body, which regulates the amount of air flowing to the engine, can affect engine performance and lead to engine light activation. Electrical system malfunctions, such as a blown fuse or bad spark plug, can also cause the engine light to turn on. It's best to have these issues diagnosed as soon as possible to avoid further damage.

You don't have to wait for a 'check engine light' to get a diagnostic test, if you feel something is off in your vehicle a diagnostic test can help pinpoint any areas of concern.

Log Book Servicing is a proactive approach to car maintenance where regular inspections and small fixes keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently to prevent small problems turning into major damage and issues which could otherwise be very costly to repair.

Every passenger car (and most commercials vehicles) should be issued with a “Log Book” by the manufacturer, which lays out the specified timing and agenda for your regular log book services. You should keep your log book in your glove box for reference and recording any details, but Middleborough Car Care can also refer to our database to get the required information if you've misplaced your book.

The schedule of the service will be a combination of both time or distance.

You may be tempted to delay your next log book service because your car is probably still driveable and it may not have reached BOTH the time and distance measures. While you obviously need to find availability in your budget and schedule, don't delay too long because wear and tear on the car will increase exponentially and could lead to damage which is many times more expensive than the log book service would have been.

Every car is different and the agenda for each service changes according to the schedule, which is why each vehicle is issued with a log book.

Here are some examples of what can be included:
