Winter in Queensland might not bring snow, but the cooler months can still take a toll on your car if it's not properly prepared

That's why regular car servicing, especially before the winter season, is crucial for every car owner in Windsor QLD. At Memmott's Automotive, we've been ensuring the safety and reliability of vehicles since 1956, and we're here to tell you how regular servicing can make all the difference when preparing for winter driving.

As an Approved Inspection Station, we can't stress enough the importance of having your car inspected before winter. This includes checking brakes, tyres, and lights to ensure that your car is safe to drive in all conditions.

• Tyre Safety:
  Cold weather can affect tyre pressure and performance. During a service, tyres are inspected for tread depth, wear, and inflation. This is vital for maintaining good grip on wet roads during Queensland's winter.

• Brake Checks:
  Slippery roads increase braking distances. Regular servicing includes comprehensive brake checks to ensure that your brake pads, discs, and fluids are in top condition.

• Battery Life:
  Winter can be harsh on car batteries. A service will check the battery's health and ensure it has the power to start your car on cold mornings.

• Keeping Cool in the Cool:
  Believe it or not, a well-functioning air conditioning system is important even during winter. It not only keeps you comfortable but also prevents windows from fogging up, maintaining clear visibility.

• Fluid Checks and Replacements:
  From coolant to brake fluid and power steering fluid, ensuring these are at the right levels and condition can prevent breakdowns and enhance the vehicle's performance.

• Suspension and Steering:
  Bumpy roads and potholes can take a toll on a car's suspension and steering. Regular checks ensure that your ride remains smooth and your steering accurate.

• Lights and Electrics:
  As the days get shorter, you'll rely more on your car's lights. Regular servicing checks all lighting and electrical systems are functioning correctly for maximum visibility and safety.

• Heater and Defroster Functionality:
  Ensuring your car's heating system and defroster are working effectively is essential for comfort and visibility during the colder months.

• Windscreen Wipers and Washer Fluid:
  Rain is more frequent, and visibility is key. Regular servicing includes checking wipers for wear and ensuring the washer fluid is topped up with a winter-appropriate mixture.
