Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. Windsor's Automotive in Kelso 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 Windsor's Automotive in Kelso 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!

Faulty and low charge batteries are to be avoided. Don't wait till you're stranded somewhere on the side of the road, hoping for a jump start. It is easy to have your car, bike, truck battery tested or charged up at Windsor's Automotive in Kelso.  Often issues occur because we have all reduced how much we drive or decided to only rely on one car (as petrol prices skyrocket!) and have left the other in the garage. But did you know that batteries can still discharge even when your car isn't in use? - ask Windsor's Automotive about a battery test today!  Our technicians do a battery load test as part of the 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report that comes free with every car service. If you have concerns, we can do a stand-alone battery test and inspection right here in Kelso. Car Battery FAQ How do I know if my battery is getting flat or low? The most obvious sign of a flat battery is when your car won't start, but modern motor vehicles can show symptoms like non-essential functions not operating correctly - things like idle stop-start function not working, or the car's air-conditioning not working effectively.
Other signs you might need a new car battery include: Vehicle is slow to start Engine won't start Dash Lights work, but engine won't start Constantly needing a jump start Film or corrosion on the battery Cracked swollen or leaky battery Rotten egg smell under the hood Do I need a new car battery? The most obvious sign of a flat battery is when your car won't start. Modern motor vehicles can show symptoms like the idle stop-start not working or the car's air-conditioning not working to full capacity.

Other signs include cracked, dirty or leaky batteries, a rotten egg smell under the hood of your car, or regularly needing a jump start or recharge. The best way to know if you need a new battery is to get a car battery test at {{{businessName}}} Does a flat battery use more fuel? Yes! When your car battery is running flat, the alternator works harder to recharge the battery. This added load on the engine means it burns more fuel. Where can I buy a new car battery? Come in and see us! As a Repco Authorised Service Centre, {{{businessName}}} have access to the highest quality batteries to suit most vehicles. Who can test my car battery? {{{businessName}}} can do a battery load test. Phone us or visit the workshop today. Why choose {{{businessName}}} for a battery test? If you have concerns about your vehicle's performance, it is wise to get your battery tested at a full-service workshop like {{{businessName}}} rather than at a parts store. That's because we take into consideration the whole vehicle and can diagnose any deeper issues. There is nothing worse than replacing your car battery only to find the problem actually lies elsewhere… except maybe being told your battery test is fine with no explanation for your ongoing issues! Can my car battery be recharged? Yes, in fact the battery is being recharged by the alternator in your car whenever the engine is running. Sometimes this fix isn't enough, and your battery requires an external recharge. It's best to ask the professionals like our team at {{{businessName}}} about this, as you could void the battery warranty by recharging it yourself. Sometimes external recharging is not the best option because every battery eventually reaches a point in its life where replacement is the only answer to avoid unexpected breakdowns. Can I fit my battery myself? The short answer is yes...But! Modern vehicles are “computers on wheels”, so if you decide to DIY you must follow proper installation procedures to avoid damaging the ECM (Engine Control Module) and TCM (Transmission Control Module). Plus, if the battery gets incorrectly installed, items like the radio, the navigation system and security codes may need to be professionally reset. Talk to {{{businessName}}} today. We can recommend the right battery for your needs and install it for you. 

Ever replaced your battery only to find your car problem wasn't fixed? Don't be left feeling flat, get your battery tested at a full service workshop.

How Regular Service Helps Get Your Car Ready for Winter Driving in Kelso, NSW Winter in Kelso, NSW, can be harsh, with cold mornings and unpredictable weather. Ensuring your car is ready for these conditions is crucial for your safety and comfort. Regular servicing is the key to keeping your vehicle in top shape, especially as the temperatures drop. Here's a comprehensive guide on why regular service is essential and the specific tasks that will help keep your car safe and reliable during the winter months. Join Windsor's Automotive as we go on a journey to understanding why regular service is essential and the specific tasks that will help keep your car safe and reliable during the winter months. Ensuring the Brakes are Working Well Your brakes are arguably the most critical safety feature of your car, and their performance can be compromised in wet and icy conditions. Regular servicing includes inspecting brake pads, discs, and fluid levels to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Well-maintained brakes provide better stopping power, reducing the risk of accidents in slippery conditions. Verifying Tyre Condition and Performance Tyres are your car's only contact with the road, making their condition paramount. During regular service, mechanics will check for adequate tread depth, even wear, and correct tyre pressure. Properly maintained tyres provide better grip and handling on wet or icy roads, ensuring a safer driving experience. Checking All Lights are Operational Winter days are shorter, and visibility can often be poor due to rain, fog, or early darkness. Ensuring all your car's lights are working correctly is crucial for your safety and that of other road users. Regular service includes checking headlights, brake lights, indicators, and fog lights, replacing any bulbs if necessary. Checking the Battery A well-maintained battery is vital, particularly in winter when cold temperatures can reduce its efficiency. Regular service ensures your battery is in good condition, with enough charge to start your car on frosty mornings. Technicians will test the battery's health, clean the terminals, and check for any signs of wear or corrosion, preventing unexpected breakdowns. Assessing the HVAC System A functional HVAC (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) system is essential for maintaining a comfortable cabin temperature and ensuring clear visibility through defrosted windows. Regular servicing checks the system's performance, ensuring it's ready to keep you warm and your windows clear throughout winter. Inspecting Windshield Wipers Good visibility is crucial during winter driving, making functional windshield wipers a must. Regular service checks the condition of the wiper blades, ensuring they are not cracked or worn. Replacing old wipers helps maintain clear visibility during heavy rain or snow, contributing to safer driving. Checking Fluid Levels Your car relies on various fluids to operate smoothly, including engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid. Regular service involves checking and topping up these fluids, ensuring your car runs efficiently and preventing potential damage from low fluid levels. Regular servicing is more than just a routine check-up; it's an investment in your safety, especially during winter in Kelso, NSW. By ensuring your battery, brakes, tyres, lights, HVAC system, fluid levels, and windshield wipers are in optimal condition, you can confidently face the colder months ahead. Don't wait until the last minute—schedule your winter service today and drive safely all season long...
