As we move into the cooler months, ensure your safety with a 65 Point Written Vehicle Inspection Report from Bob Greenes Auto Repairs in Armidale.

Our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report is free with every service at Bob Greenes Auto Repairs in Armidale. 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.

The northern parts of Australia are entering dry season, while the south of the country is bracing for winter rains. Whatever the weather, there are basic tips you should always follow to make sure you have a safe winter drive.

No one wants to turn on the wipers on a rainy day only to realise that they are worn out and of no use! Wiper blades will not last forever, especially when exposed to the summer sun in Australia. Make sure you have a high-quality wiper blade such as Trico to give you clear vision no matter what the weather. Armidale can recommend a wiper blade that is suitable for your car.

The cold weather can cause problems for your car's coolants, oils and other parts such as diesel glow plugs. It is important to have a regular service by a qualified technician who understands the parts and products best suited for your vehicle. At Bob Greenes Auto Repairs we use NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils and fluids specifically designed for Australian conditions.

You must be aware of the conditions when driving and adjust your style accordingly. If visibility is low or the weather is wet, slow down and keep a larger distance than usual between your car and the vehicle ahead of you. 

If you experience any signs of a problem with your brakes, such as vibrating, spongy or slow response, strange sounds or difficulty when applying pressure, it is best to have a qualified professional check them out.

It is dangerous to drive on worn tyres or with incorrect tyre inflation. It is time to inspect your tyres and look for signs of uneven wear, which may indicate that your shock absorbers or other parts of the steering and suspension system require service or replacement. 

Remember that driving on tyres that are not inflated correctly will not only increase your fuel consumption, but also hinder your ability to stop. Check the manufacturer’s recommendations inside the driver’s side door to find the correct tyre inflation for your car.

Driving on incorrectly inflated tyres won't just cost you money on additional fuel; it can also impact your ability to stop. You can usually find manufacturers recommendations on a panel inside the driver side door.

Make sure your car is set for safe winter driving and book a service or a 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report with Bob Greenes Auto Repairs in Armidale.

Brake fluid transfers the pressure you put on the brake pedal through to the actual brakes.
Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work. As everyone knows - not having brakes is a huge problem! In fact even slightly affected brakes are very dangerous.


Brake fluid absorbs moisture very easily. Brake fluids are also subject to very high temperatures and so they are designed to have a high boiling point to stop them from boiling and evaporating- when brake fluid has accumulated too much moisture- this lowers its boiling point and it can boil off more easily causing low levels. Low levels of brake fluid affect your braking performance and could mean your car will fail to stop.
Brake Fluid that has absorbed too much moisture will also shorten the life of your braking system including damaging the callipers, wheel cylinders and anti-lock braking systems.

Why is brake fluid replacement necessary?

Your manufacturer's log book will advise how regularly your brake fluid should be changed or flushed, we recommend a drain and replacement every two years however it is wise to have it regularly checked by an expert at every service to make sure the levels are not reducing too fast (a sign of a leak) or that the moisture levels have not reached a point that could be damaging your system.

How often should I replace my brake fluid?

At Bob Greenes Auto Repairs we offer a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report, upon request, with every full car service which includes a written review of your brake fluid, master cylinder, front and back discs and pads, callipers and cylinders and more. This inspection helps to identify any issues in your vehicle which should be addressed and our mechanics will certainly advise you if they feel your vehicle might need a brake fluid replacement, or an out of schedule brake system service or repairs.

Do you check the brake fluids during a car service?

Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work.
