As winter approaches, many of us look forward to cozy nights by the fire. However, the colder season also brings about more challenging driving conditions that can test the limits of even the most experienced drivers. Wet roads, icy patches, and reduced visibility all contribute to a more hazardous driving environment. This makes it crucial to ensure your vehicle is in tip-top shape to handle whatever winter throws your way. Regular car servicing is not just a recommendation; it's a necessity for safe winter driving.

At Mortdale Automotive Services, we understand the significance of maintaining your vehicle, especially during the winter months. As a Repco Authorised Service Centre, we offer a Nationwide Warranty available at 500 workshops across Australia, ensuring you have access to quality service no matter where you are.

1. Tyres: Make sure your tyres have adequate tread depth and are properly inflated. Worn tyres can significantly reduce traction, making it harder to stop or steer on wet roads.
2. Brakes: Have your brakes inspected to ensure they are in good working condition. Wet weather can make it more difficult to stop quickly, so fully functional brakes are essential.
3. Wipers and Washer Fluid: Ensure your windshield wipers are effective at clearing water from your windshield, and top up your washer fluid. Good visibility is crucial when driving in the rain.
4. Lights: Check all your vehicle's lights, including headlights, brake lights, and indicators. Proper lighting is essential for seeing and being seen in poor weather conditions.
5. Battery: Cold weather can affect your car's battery. Have it tested to ensure it has enough charge to start your car reliably in colder temperatures.
6. Heater and Defroster: Ensure your heater and defroster are working properly to keep your windows clear of fog and ice, improving your visibility.
7. Fluids: Check all fluid levels, including oil, coolant, and brake fluid. Proper fluid levels help your vehicle run smoothly and efficiently.
8. Belts and Hoses: Inspect belts and hoses for any signs of wear or damage. Cold weather can exacerbate existing issues, leading to potential breakdowns.
