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. Beechboro Mechanical & Auto Gas in Beechboro 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 Beechboro Mechanical & Auto Gas in Beechboro 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 Beechboro Mechanical & Auto Gas in Beechboro.  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 Beechboro Mechanical & Auto Gas 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 Beechboro. 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.

Many workshops, including Beechboro Mechanical & Auto Gas, will close over the Christmas period, making early booking essential. By scheduling your service ahead of time, you not only guarantee your slot but also allow ample time for any necessary repairs or maintenance. Don't let procrastination be the reason your holiday plans are derailed. The Importance of Regular Car Servicing Regular car servicing isn't just a routine check-up; it's an investment in your vehicle's longevity and performance. Here are some key mechanical tasks that are undertaken to ensure your car is in prime condition: 1. Oil and Filter Change: 
Consistently changing the oil and filter ensures that your engine operates efficiently, minimizing wear and tear while averting expensive breakdowns and repairs. Regular maintenance like this is essential to keep your vehicle in optimal condition, ultimately saving you time and money in the long run. 2. Brake Inspection: 
Making sure your brakes are in excellent condition is absolutely essential for your safety. Routine maintenance involves a thorough inspection of the brake pads, rotors, and fluid levels to guarantee they are functioning at their best. 3. Tyre Check and Rotation: 
Ensuring that your tyres are well-maintained plays a crucial role in achieving optimal fuel efficiency, enhancing vehicle handling, and guaranteeing a safer driving experience. During routine maintenance, professionals meticulously inspect the tyres for any signs of wear and tear. Additionally, they rotate the tyres strategically to promote even wear, ultimately extending their lifespan and performance. 4. Battery Test: 
Having a dependable battery is absolutely crucial, particularly when you’re gearing up for extended road trips. Routine maintenance not only involves evaluating your battery’s condition but also making sure it’s being charged properly. 5. Fluid Checks: 
Maintaining the fluid levels in your vehicle is of paramount importance. Whether it's coolant, brake fluid, or any other essential liquid, each one plays a critical role in ensuring your car operates smoothly and efficiently. By keeping these fluids at their optimal levels, you not only enhance the performance of your car but also extend its longevity. 6. Suspension and Steering Inspection: 
Maintaining your suspension and steering systems in excellent condition not only guarantees a smoother ride but also enhances control, which is crucial for long-distance journeys. Whether you’re driving across state lines or just heading out for a weekend getaway, the reliability of these systems plays a vital role in ensuring both comfort and safety throughout your trip.

Safety First: 
Consistent and thorough maintenance checks have the ability to detect potential issues early on, preventing them from escalating into significant problems. This proactive approach not only guarantees your safety but also safeguards the well-being of your passengers. 2. Cost Efficiency: 
Engaging in routine maintenance is typically more cost-effective compared to the hefty expenses associated with emergency repairs. Consistent inspections can not only help you steer clear of expensive breakdowns but also significantly prolong the lifespan of your vehicle. 3. Optimal Performance: 
A meticulously cared-for vehicle not only runs more efficiently but also provides superior fuel economy and a more comfortable driving experience, thereby enhancing the enjoyment of your vacation travels. 4. Increased Resale Value: 
A car that comes with a comprehensive service history is likely to be much more appealing to prospective buyers if you ever choose to put it on the market.
