Drive Safe this Winter with a 65 Point Written Vehicle Inspection Report

Our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report is free with every service at Star Automotive and Tyres in Moonah. Our qualified mechanics will visually check over the important components of your vehicle and provide you with a written report on the condition of your vehicle. We can then help you understand any concerns which may need to be attended so that you can drive safe this winter.

While half of Australia is enjoying their dry season up North, the Southern half of the country is bracing for a wet winter.

The result of that could be totally different ways to get your vehicle ready for winter; however the fundamentals of safe winter motoring remain the same. So how can you make sure your car is equipped for safe winter motoring? 

Avoid the painful moment when you switch on the wipers at the first drop of rain and realise they're worn out and basically useless! Wiper blades wear out over time, especially in the harsh Australian conditions. A good quality wiper blade like Trico is essential to help you see your way clear regardless of the weather. Star Automotive and Tyres can recommend a wiper blade or assembly that is right for your car.

Be sure that your Heater and Demist / Defrost functions are working so you can have a clear view front and back while driving in cold and wet conditions. You should never drive your vehicle if you can't see where you are going.

Fluids and other workings in your car can be effected by cold weather; including coolants, oils and items such as glow plugs in diesel vehicles. Regular services are important - especially by a professional technician who recognises the best products and parts to keep your car in its best operating condition. We use high quality Penrite oils and fluids that are designed for Australian conditions.  

It is a well known fact that cold temperatures can drastically affect your battery to a point where it will go flat and leave you stranded. Have your battery regularly tested especially if it is over 3 yrs old and replace it in a timely manner. Visit Star Automotive and Tyres for a free battery test.

Always remember to drive to your conditions. If visibility is poor or the weather is wet - slow down and leave a larger than normal stopping distance between yourself and the vehicle in front. Drive on the safe side and book in for a service or Vehicle Inspection today.

Be aware of the warning signs that your brakes need to be inspected, like vibrating, spongy or slow responding brake pedal, strange sounds or difficult handling when applying pressure to your brakes. If you are experiencing any of these it's best to have a qualified mechanic check it out. Brake inspections form part of our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report, so if you have concerns call us today and book in.

Driving on worn tyres is dangerous. Now is the time to check how worn your tyres are. If you notice spots which are worn unevenly, this could indicate that your shock absorbers or some other vital part of your steering and suspension systems are due for service or replacement. 

Driving on tyres which are not inflated correctly will not only cost you extra fuel money; it can also impact your ability to brake effectively. You can usually find manufacturers recommendations on a panel inside the driver side door.

Star Automotive and Tyres in Moonah is a licensed roadworthy inspection station and can issue roadworthy certificates for vehicles that pass the roadworthy assessment test.
