Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. Maryborough Service Centre in Maryborough 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 Maryborough Service Centre in Maryborough 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 Maryborough Service Centre in Maryborough.  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 Maryborough Service Centre 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 Maryborough. 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.

Maryborough Service Centre is an Authorised Inspection Station (AIS). In Queensland a safety certificate is needed when: transferring registration to a new owner
or when transferring to Queensland registration from another state or territory
or when re-registering an unregistered vehicle. A Vehicle Inspection is when a qualified mechanic visually checks over your vehicle to check it for safety or roadworthiness, identifies any areas that may be unsafe or due for replacement, and gives you a written outcome - either a certificate or a report.  Some inspections are voluntary which you might request because you just want a report on the current condition of your car. It's a good way to let you know what services might be needed in the near future allowing you to budget your finances accordingly. Sometimes you will need an inspection for statutory purposes such as for a Queensland road safety certificate. In Queensland you are required by law to get an inspection performed and a safety certificate when you sell your vehicle. A safety certificate in Queensland is valid for up to two months but only for one sale. There are some exemptions from this requirement such as sales in very remote areas or between car dealers. For full information on Queensland Safety certificates please visit the Qld Government website As a Repco Authorised Service centre Maryborough Service Centre will, upon request, provide a free Vehicle Inspection report with every full car service, we also offer a comprehensive vehicle condition report which is ideal for pre-purchase peace of mind or for preparing for a long road trip. If you are interested in a safety certificate or other inspection for your vehicle contact Maryborough Service Centre today.

Maryborough Service Centre can perform vehicle inspections and issue safety certificates for Queensland vehicle registration or when you sell a car.

Brake repairs are what many people think about when it comes to being safe, but focusing on brake maintenance is much more vital to your safety.   Maintaining your brakes means not waiting until they need repairs but having them checked on a regular basis to help avoid any unseen or unexpected problems which might impact your ability to brake safely and efficiently should the need arise. Regular brake maintenance means that you can relax knowing that your brakes will be in good working order when you need them most; in an emergency! Regular inspections as part of our 65 point Vehicle Report with every Service, provide information that can then be used to assure brakes are always in top condition when they're needed most. Our expert technicians can uncover potential issues early on before they become something even worse! Brake pads naturally wear down as this is part of their design and must be replaced when 3mm or less tread thickness is left. But Rotors and other components can have a much longer life. Hoses can also last a good while but may crack or become damaged while driving. Brake Maintenance - Brake Pads Your brake pads are a vital part of your braking system and they are a part that should never be overlooked. Brake pads compress against your brake rotors to create friction and this friction makes your car stop. Which means hard work for your brake pads every time you stop The force necessary to halt a moving vehicle is massive and gives off a lot of heat which wears down the brake pads over time. This is why regular inspection and/or replacement of your brake pads is an integral part of good brake maintenance practices. Squealing brakes can be a sign that your brake pads are worn out; many pads have a small metal piece embedded in them that scrapes on the disc when your brake pads are worn down, causing that high pitch noise. However, this doesn't indicate that you should wait until you hear noises to get your pads assessed, we recommend having your brakes inspected at every service. Brake Pads can live anywhere between 15,000 to 70,000 km's. This can change because of a number of factors such as; regular heavy loads, driving style and conditions. If your brake pads are wearing out prematurely your mechanic might advise using a heat resistant or heavier duty brake pad more suited to your vehicle. Brake Maintenance - Flushing Brake fluid provides the pressure needed by the brake pads to stop your car. It also helps prolong the lifespan of your various brake components by helping to prevent corrosion. Most people know that it is imperative to keep the brake fluid level topped up, but did you know that you should also have the entire system flushed regularly to replace old brake fluid and prevent excessive moisture in the fluid? A brake fluid flush can be done as part of a scheduled service - but sometimes we may suggest you need one outside of a regular schedule if we feel it's necessary. We are always happy to discuss the reasons why with you. Maryborough Service Centre are qualified to perform a wide range of brake services and repairs using quality parts, all covered by our nationwide warranty; Brake Pads Brake Drums Brake Calipers Brake Rotors Brake Hoses/Clips/Springs Wheel Cylinders Wheel Bearings Master Cylinders Brake Flushing
