Your car battery is a vital component, ensuring your vehicle starts reliably and powers essential electrical systems. At Bueno Garage in Everton Hills, we understand how inconvenient a failing battery can be, which is why we offer free car battery testing to give you peace of mind. 

Whether your car is struggling to start or you want to ensure your battery is in top condition, our professional team is here to help. Regular battery maintenance is essential to avoid breakdowns, and our experts can guide you through testing, replacing, and fitting the right battery for your vehicle. Impact of Cold Weather on Car Batteries Cold weather can significantly affect your car battery’s performance, especially if it’s already aged or in poor condition. When temperatures drop, chemical reactions within the battery slow down, reducing its capacity to generate enough power to start your vehicle. This is why many drivers experience starting issues during colder months. Additionally, the increased use of heaters, headlights, and other electrical systems in winter can further strain your battery. Ensuring your car battery is in optimal condition before the colder season arrives can help prevent unexpected breakdowns and keep your vehicle reliable in all weather conditions. Symptoms of Battery Failure Recognising the signs of a failing car battery can save you from being stranded at an inconvenient time. Some common symptoms of battery failure include:

- Slow engine cranking: The engine turns over sluggishly when you start the car. 
- Dim headlights: Lights appear less bright than usual, especially when the engine is off. 
- Dashboard warning lights: A battery warning icon may appear on your dashboard. 
- Clicking sounds: You may hear a clicking noise when turning the ignition instead of the engine starting. 
- Frequent need for jump-starts: If your car frequently requires a jump-start, your battery may no longer hold a charge effectively.

If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to get your battery tested and inspected by the professionals at Bueno Garage. Battery Testing and Inspection Process At Bueno Garage in Everton Hills, our battery testing and inspection process is thorough and efficient. We begin by visually inspecting the battery for signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections. Then, using specialised diagnostic tools, we measure the battery’s voltage and capacity to ensure it’s performing correctly. If the battery is underperforming, we’ll discuss replacement options and fit a new, high-quality battery on-site. All new batteries come with a manufacturer’s warranty, giving you confidence in your purchase. Electrical Components Affected by Battery Failure A failing car battery doesn’t just affect starting your vehicle; it can also impact various electrical components that rely on a stable power supply. These include:

- Starter motor: A weak battery may struggle to power the starter motor effectively. 
- Alternator: An underperforming battery can place additional strain on the alternator, potentially leading to its failure. 
- Lighting systems: Headlights, indicators, and interior lights may dim or flicker. 
- Infotainment systems: Radios, GPS units, and other electronic features may malfunction or fail to turn on. 
- Power windows and locks: These may operate more slowly or stop working altogether.

Addressing battery issues early ensures that these critical systems remain functional and prevents further damage to your vehicle. Importance of Regular Battery Testing Car batteries typically have a lifespan of around three to five years, but their performance can decline with age. Regular testing of batteries older than three years is essential to ensure reliability and safety. Ignoring the signs of a failing battery can lead to being stranded, which often means waiting for roadside assistance for 1-3 hours. This is particularly inconvenient if you’re travelling with children or have important appointments. By scheduling regular battery tests with Bueno Garage, you can avoid the stress of unexpected breakdowns and enjoy a smoother driving experience. Diagnosing Other Starting Problems While a failing battery is a common cause of starting issues, it’s not always the root problem. At Bueno Garage in Everton Hills, our experienced technicians can diagnose a range of issues that may prevent your car from starting. These include faulty starter motors, failing alternators, or other electrical system problems. With our expertise and advanced diagnostic tools, we’ll quickly identify the source of the issue and provide the necessary repairs to get you back on the road with confidence.

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.

Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. Bueno Garage in Everton Hills are very knowledgeable and experienced in looking after these systems.  It is recommended that you exchange your radiator coolant fluid every two years or 40,000 km's whichever comes first. However the size of the engine, the climate in your area, the age of your current coolant, and the total miles that have been driven can all affect the need to replace the coolant in your radiator. Knowing when to replenish your radiator fluid isn't always easy - obviously, when it has gone a dirty brown colour it's a sign it probably needs to be flushed and replaced - however even fresh-looking coolant could have lost its corrosion protection properties and without measuring its reserve alkalinity there's no signal that it is no longer protecting your vehicle components, and it could even be doing more damage than good. Maintaining good coolant means your radiator system will be much better protected from corrosion and will have a longer life span, it will help prevent you from having to replace expensive engine components. At Bueno Garage in Everton Hills at your request, we will perform a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report for free as part of any minor, major or log book service. Part of this inspection includes checking the level and condition of coolant in your system and the written report will advise you if we feel a radiator flush, fluid replacement or any repairs are required to maintain the performance of your vehicle.

Even if it looks clean, your coolant still might need replacing!

Faulty and low charge batteries are to be avoided. Don't wait till you're stranded somewhere on the side of the road, hoping for a jump start. It is easy to have your car, bike, truck battery tested or charged up at Bueno Garage in Everton Hills.  Often issues occur because we have all reduced how much we drive or decided to only rely on one car (as petrol prices skyrocket!) and have left the other in the garage. But did you know that batteries can still discharge even when your car isn't in use? - ask Bueno Garage about a battery test today!  Our technicians do a battery load test as part of the 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report that comes free with every car service. If you have concerns, we can do a stand-alone battery test and inspection right here in Everton Hills. Car Battery FAQ How do I know if my battery is getting flat or low? The most obvious sign of a flat battery is when your car won't start, but modern motor vehicles can show symptoms like non-essential functions not operating correctly - things like idle stop-start function not working, or the car's air-conditioning not working effectively.
Other signs you might need a new car battery include: Vehicle is slow to start Engine won't start Dash Lights work, but engine won't start Constantly needing a jump start Film or corrosion on the battery Cracked swollen or leaky battery Rotten egg smell under the hood Do I need a new car battery? The most obvious sign of a flat battery is when your car won't start. Modern motor vehicles can show symptoms like the idle stop-start not working or the car's air-conditioning not working to full capacity.

Other signs include cracked, dirty or leaky batteries, a rotten egg smell under the hood of your car, or regularly needing a jump start or recharge. The best way to know if you need a new battery is to get a car battery test at {{{businessName}}} Does a flat battery use more fuel? Yes! When your car battery is running flat, the alternator works harder to recharge the battery. This added load on the engine means it burns more fuel. Where can I buy a new car battery? Come in and see us! As a Repco Authorised Service Centre, {{{businessName}}} have access to the highest quality batteries to suit most vehicles. Who can test my car battery? {{{businessName}}} can do a battery load test. Phone us or visit the workshop today. Why choose {{{businessName}}} for a battery test? If you have concerns about your vehicle's performance, it is wise to get your battery tested at a full-service workshop like {{{businessName}}} rather than at a parts store. That's because we take into consideration the whole vehicle and can diagnose any deeper issues. There is nothing worse than replacing your car battery only to find the problem actually lies elsewhere… except maybe being told your battery test is fine with no explanation for your ongoing issues! Can my car battery be recharged? Yes, in fact the battery is being recharged by the alternator in your car whenever the engine is running. Sometimes this fix isn't enough, and your battery requires an external recharge. It's best to ask the professionals like our team at {{{businessName}}} about this, as you could void the battery warranty by recharging it yourself. Sometimes external recharging is not the best option because every battery eventually reaches a point in its life where replacement is the only answer to avoid unexpected breakdowns. Can I fit my battery myself? The short answer is yes...But! Modern vehicles are “computers on wheels”, so if you decide to DIY you must follow proper installation procedures to avoid damaging the ECM (Engine Control Module) and TCM (Transmission Control Module). Plus, if the battery gets incorrectly installed, items like the radio, the navigation system and security codes may need to be professionally reset. Talk to {{{businessName}}} today. We can recommend the right battery for your needs and install it for you. 

Ever replaced your battery only to find your car problem wasn't fixed? Don't be left feeling flat, get your battery tested at a full service workshop.
