Easter is one of those holidays many people don't think about until it is almost upon them. Perhaps because it is not as long a period as Christmas but is more than just a long weekend, people often leave their Easter decisions to the last minute, including those impulsive, last minute trips away. Hop in and get your car serviced before the Easter rush While Easter may seem a little way off, it’s wise to book your car in early for servicing to avoid the last-minute rush, especially if you're planning a trip over the Easter weekend. Mechanic shops and service centres are prime candidates for being booked solid weeks ahead of Easter so don't leave your service booking too long or you might have to take a journey without the benefits a well serviced vehicle can offer. 
   
So as Easter approaches, it's a good time to start planning your holiday adventures or even just your daily drives around Gympie. One of the most crucial steps in your preparations is ensuring your car is in top condition. Regular servicing is key to preventing unexpected breakdowns and ensuring your vehicle's safety and performance. A comprehensive car service involves several important mechanical checks and maintenance tasks. Here’s why they matter: 1. Brakes: 
The brakes are arguably the most critical safety feature of any vehicle. Regular servicing ensures that your brake pads and discs are in excellent condition, preventing potential accidents caused by faulty braking. 2. Tyres: 
Tyres are your vehicle's point of contact with the road, and their condition significantly affects your driving safety. A check will ensure that they have the correct tread depth and pressure, enhancing grip and reducing the risk of blowouts during long drives. 3. Battery: 
An efficient battery is essential for reliable car starts and powering your vehicle’s electronics. Servicing includes checking the battery's charge and condition, avoiding unexpected issues. 4. Lights: 
Functional lights are vital for visibility, especially during night drives or poor weather conditions. Ensuring that all lights, including headlights, indicators, and brake lights, are working well is a fundamental safety measure. 5. HVAC System:
A working HVAC system isn’t just for comfort. It also ensures that your windows stay demisted, maintaining clear visibility in varying weather conditions. 6. Fluid Levels: 
From engine oil to coolant and brake fluid, maintaining proper fluid levels is crucial for smooth engine performance and preventing wear and tear. Regular checks help avoid engine overheating and other issues. ﻿ Whether you’re heading off on an exciting holiday or simply navigating the roads of Gympie, a well-maintained vehicle will keep you safe and ensure your journey is enjoyable. For the best car service experience in Gympie, trust the experts at Ultimate Automotive.  Our experienced technicians are ready to help you get your car in perfect shape, ensuring a safe and hassle-free drive. Book your service well ahead of time and hit 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. Ultimate Automotive in Gympie 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 Ultimate Automotive in Gympie 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!
