Drive Safe this Winter with  a Vehicle Inspection Report

At City Car Care Tuggeranong in Tuggeranong, we understand the importance of ensuring your vehicle is in top condition, especially given the very cold weather that Canberra can experience. Our Vehicle Inspection Report is complimentary with every service. Our certified mechanics will meticulously examine crucial components of your vehicle and provide a detailed written report on its condition. We’ll help you address any issues, so you can drive safely this winter with City Car Care Tuggeranong and Repco Authorised Service.

While the southern part of Australia prepares for a wet winter, the northern region enjoys a dry season. Despite these differences, the key elements of safe winter driving are universal. So, what can you do to ensure your car is ready for the chilly Canberra winter?

It's frustrating when you turn on the windscreen wipers at the first sign of rain or frost and realise they're worn out! Exposure to Australia's varying weather conditions wears down your wipers. Investing in a high-quality wiper blade like Trico is crucial to maintaining clear visibility, no matter the weather. City Car Care Tuggeranong can recommend the perfect wiper blade or assembly for your vehicle.

Cold weather can affect your car’s fluids and components, including coolants, oils, and glow plugs in diesel vehicles. Regular servicing by a professional technician is essential to ensure you use the right parts and products for your specific make and model. We use top-quality NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils and fluids, designed for Australian conditions, to keep your car running smoothly even in Canberra’s cold weather.

Weather conditions can change quickly, and so should your driving habits. Slow down in wet, icy, or foggy conditions and maintain a greater stopping distance between you and the vehicle ahead. Stay safe and book a service or a Vehicle Inspection today.

Bald tyres can be hazardous. Now is the perfect time to check if your tyres have enough tread. Uneven tyre wear might indicate issues with shock absorbers or other vital components of your steering and suspension systems. Learn more about the parts affecting your tyre wear below:

Incorrect tyre pressure not only increases fuel consumption but also hampers your stopping ability. Manufacturer recommendations for tyre pressure are typically found on a panel inside the driver’s side door.

If your brakes are vibrating, spongy, slow to respond, making unusual sounds, or causing difficult handling, they need immediate attention. A qualified professional should inspect these issues. Brake inspections are part of every service. If you have concerns, contact us today to book an inspection.

It's important to note that you have the freedom to choose where you get your vehicle serviced and maintained. 

City Car Care Tuggeranong offers affordable rates without compromising the manufacturer's warranty or your consumer rights.

You don't have to return to the dealership where you bought your car for repairs - as long as the work is performed by a qualified technician following the manufacturer's specifications, and uses high-quality parts and fluids, your warranty will remain intact.

With Repco Authorised Service, you can trust that City Car Care Tuggeranong's mechanics are fully certified and receive regular training on the latest automotive service techniques. This ensures that they are equipped to service your new car without affecting your warranty.

All Repco branded parts and products meet rigorous quality standards and come with nationwide warranty coverage for added peace of mind. Rest assured that City Car Care Tuggeranong only uses fluids and lubricants that meet the specifications of the original manufacturer.

If you already own a new car or are thinking of purchasing one, make sure you clearly understand where your statutory rights begin and end

Make sure you are aware of the differences between manufacturer, statutory and extended warranties to avoid making the wrong selection when it comes to servicing your new car. You are automatically covered by a statutory warranty, also known as a Consumer Guarantee, under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and this statutory protection can never be superseded by manufacturer or express warranties (which are offered by the car maker and car dealer respectively).

A lack of disclosure requirements on car dealers at the point of sale regarding these contracts can easily lead the consumer into making a choice to be bound by a long term contract without access to all of the details needed to make a properly informed decision.

So when purchasing a new vehicle, be on guard for new car dealers who may try to include “express” or “extended” warranties, often for free. As a general rule these ‘extra' warranties may include quite comprehensive restrictions or provisions, and are not always what they are cracked up to be. Many times these promises provide no real additional benefits not already given by the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with the dealership that sold the car.

Such promises are very unlikely to focus on the potential negative aspects involved with taking a new car back to the dealer for service or repair. This includes how far you will need to go to get your car serviced or longer waiting times due to fewer available service locations or mechanics.

The performance of safety systems such as traction, stability control, and  ABS braking systems depend largely on how well the suspension performs, which also depends on how well the wheels are aligned, which then has a direct bearing on how the suspension copes with cornering and braking forces, as well as with sudden steering inputs - phew, that's a long line of follow on effects! But that's why it's important to always have a fully qualified workshop perform your Wheel Alignment.
