While the southern half of the country is bracing for a wet winter, the northern half of Australia is enjoying their dry season.

That could mean there is completely different ways to get your vehicle ready for winter; however the basics of safe winter motoring stay the same. So how do you make sure your car is ready for safe winter motoring? 

We've all experienced that moment where you turn on the wipers at the first drop of rain and only then remember you should have replaced them! 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. Mechanics 2 U can recommend a wiper blade or assembly that is right for your car.

Fluids and other workings in your car can be impacted by cold weather; especially coolants, oils and items such as glow plugs in diesel vehicles. It's important to get your vehicle regularly serviced by someone qualified to understand the right parts and products to keep your car in its best operating condition. We use high quality NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils and fluids that are designed for Australian conditions.  

It's essential to drive to the road conditions In wet weather or poor visibility, 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 today for a service or a 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report.

There are signs that your brakes need an inspection, such as vibrating, spongy or slow responding brake pedal, strange sounds or difficult handling when applying pressure to your brakes. If you notice any of these it's best to have a qualified professional 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.

Bald tyres = dangerous driving. Now is the time to take a good look at your tyres. If you spot uneven tyre wear, this could indicate that your shock absorbers or some other vital part of your steering and suspension systems are due for service or replacement. Find out more about the components that affect your tyre wear on the links below: 

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

Mechanics 2 U has a state of the art Safe T Stop machine that can accurately test for shocker and brake wear and tear and provide you with a detailed report on the state of your vehicles ability to stop in an emergency. Contact us today or book in for a Safe T Stop test.

Your car's braking and suspension play a very important role in ensuring your car stops quickly and safely, especially when you really need it to. Here at Mechanics 2 U in Rocklea we take your safety very seriously. This is why we have invested in a state of the art Safe-T-Stop testing machine and we are an approved Safe-T-Stop Testing Centre.

If your car is no longer stopping as quickly or efficiently as it used to or you notice it seems to rock or roll when you are cornering, having a Mechanics 2 U technician inspect the suspension and brake systems on our Safe-T-Stop test Lanes can quickly and accurately pinpoint the problem.

You can trust a Safe-T-Stop test to give you all the answers a simple road test simply won't. It provides an accurate inspection and report that goes well beyond a basic check and road test to accurately check your braking capacity and ensure maximum stopping performance.

Safe-T-Stop test lanes measure and simulate a vehicle's brake performance in real-life conditions, exactly as the process would happen on the road and results in a precise and detailed printed report that will enable the qualified technicians at Mechanics 2 U to advise you on any critical adjustments that should be made.

Along with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that your car will stop straight and in the shortest possible distance in an emergency, having your braking and suspension system in peak operating condition help you save money by minimising tyre drag and tyre wear which can increase fuel costs.
