Winter driving presents unique challenges that require extra care and attention. As temperatures drop and weather conditions worsen, it's crucial to prioritise safety on the road.  Regular car servicing becomes even more essential during this season to ensure your vehicle is equipped to handle winter's toughest conditions.  Why Regular Car Servicing is Essential for Winter Driving Winter driving can be unpredictable with icy roads, heavy rain, and reduced visibility. Regular car servicing helps to prevent unexpected breakdowns and ensures that your vehicle is in optimal condition to tackle the challenges of the season. Here’s why you shouldn’t skip your car’s service, especially in winter: Enhanced Safety: Regular servicing checks crucial components like brakes, tires, and wipers, which are vital for safe winter driving. Improved Reliability: A well-maintained vehicle is less likely to break down in harsh winter conditions. Optimal Performance: Ensuring your engine, battery, and fluids are in good condition helps your car perform efficiently in cold weather. Key Checks for Wet Weather Driving Wet weather adds another layer of difficulty to winter driving. To stay safe on the roads, it’s important to check the following components of your vehicle: Tyres: Ensure your tyres have adequate tread depth and are properly inflated. Good tyres provide better traction on wet and slippery roads. Brakes: Check your brakes for wear and tear. Efficient brakes are crucial for stopping safely on wet surfaces. Wipers and Washer Fluid: Make sure your wipers are in good condition and your washer fluid is topped up to maintain clear visibility. Lights: Test all your lights, including headlights, brake lights, and indicators, to ensure they are working properly. Battery: Cold weather can be tough on batteries. Have your battery tested to avoid unexpected failures. Fluids: Check your engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid levels. These fluids are essential for your car’s performance and safety. Trust Medlyn's Auto Services for All Your Vehicle Checks and Services When it comes to preparing your car for winter, Medlyn's Auto Services is your go-to for any vehicle checks and services. Our experienced technicians are dedicated to ensuring your car is in top-notch condition, providing you with peace of mind on the road.

Regular car servicing is not just a recommendation; it’s a necessity for ensuring your safety and the safety of others on the road.  By paying attention to key components like tyres, brakes, and lights, and trusting Medlyn's Auto Services for your vehicle checks and services, you can confidently face winter’s challenges.

Do you drive an Automatic vehicle? Then you might not even know there is a clutch in your vehicle. But without it, the gears in your car will not change. Medlyn's Auto Services in Parkes know all about repairing and servicing these systems including clutches, cables and fluids. Learn more below. What is a clutch? The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation. Your engine is what causes your wheels to spin, but what happens when your car needs to stop? The engine shouldn't stop spinning but the wheels need to. It's the clutch that allows this to happen. The clutch allows the transfer of power from the engine to the wheels to be interrupted while a gear is being changed or while the car is stationary and the engine continues to run. What is clutch fluid? Some vehicles have hydraulic clutches - when you press the clutch pedal, the clutch fluid moves the pressure from the pedal through to the clutch and disengages the power transmission. Leaking clutch fluid can cause all kinds of problem in your vehicle so it is very important to monitor it regularly. At Medlyn's Auto Services in Parkes we check your clutch fluid, hydraulic system or clutch cables for you in the course of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection - which you can request as part of every car service.
 What signs to look for if your clutch is not performing You should have your clutch looked at if: You notice a burnt ‘toast' or ‘burning rubber' smell in your car, or smoke from under vehicle Your vehicle is slipping out of gear for no reason There is jerky or sticky gear operation Your clutch is not disengaging fully, or your clutch is sticking or shuddering If your clutch is showing any of the problems above - it could mean any number of faults. Clutch problems are difficult to diagnose by symptoms alone because many issues cause the same symptoms, depending on the vehicle and type of engine. The best way to deal with clutch shuddering, slipping or noise is contact us at Medlyn's Auto Services today. We can perform clutch service and repairs on most makes and models right here in our Parkes workshop.

The clutch is one of the most important elements of your vehicles driving operation.

Medlyn's Auto Services is your friendly neighborhood expert for all things related to roadworthy inspections in Parkes. With a commitment to keeping your vehicle safe and compliant, our team ensures peace of mind every time you hit the road. What is a Pink Slip? A key component of maintaining a roadworthy vehicle is understanding what is required during an inspection. One important document you might encounter is the pink slip, officially known as an eSafety Check. This is a necessary certificate for vehicles older than five years that need to be registered in NSW. The pink slip confirms that your vehicle has passed the roadworthiness inspection, highlighting the vehicle's safe and sound condition. Medlyn's Auto Services is the go-to place in Parkes for getting your pink slip and ensuring your vehicle meets all safety standards. Our friendly and knowledgeable team is dedicated to helping you understand and meet the requirements for your vehicle's roadworthiness.  Inspected to be Roadworthy During a roadworthy inspection, our team will check essential safety features, ensuring that your vehicle is in compliance with local regulations. This includes verifying that all lights are functional, such as headlights, brake lights, and indicators. It's critical for these to be in working order, especially if you plan to drive at night. Your tyres will also be scrutinized to ensure they're in good condition. They must have a tread depth of at least 1.5mm, be properly inflated according to the recommended pressure, and free of any cracks, bumps, or uneven wear. Even the spare tyre must meet these safety standards. By choosing Medlyn's Auto Services, you’re opting for a comprehensive, hassle-free inspection that prioritises your safety and the safety of others on the road. Our dedication to excellent service makes them the best choice for vehicle inspections in Parkes.

Visit Medlyn's Auto Services today to keep your vehicle roadworthy, safe, and in compliance with all NSW standards. They’re here to ensure that every journey you take is a safe one!

Ensure Your Vehicle’s Roadworthiness 

Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.
