Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. Approved Automotive Services in Newton 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 Approved Automotive Services in Newton 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 Approved Automotive Services in Newton.  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 Approved Automotive Services 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 Newton. 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.

Optimise Your Diesel Vehicle with Professional Fuel System Servicing at Approved Automotive Services in Newton Diesel engines are renowned for their durability and fuel efficiency, but maintaining their optimal performance requires regular servicing. At Approved Automotive Services in Newton, we specialise in comprehensive diesel fuel system servicing to ensure your vehicle operates smoothly and efficiently. One key aspect of this service is using the advanced Prosteam Cleaner, recommended every 60,000 kilometres. This article will delve into the benefits and process of using this sophisticated cleaner for your diesel vehicle. The Importance of Diesel Fuel System Servicing Diesel fuel system servicing is crucial for maintaining the longevity and efficiency of your engine. Over time, carbon deposits and other contaminants can accumulate within the fuel system, leading to reduced performance, increased fuel consumption, and potential engine damage. Regular servicing helps to: Improve Fuel Efficiency: Clean fuel injectors ensure that the fuel is atomised correctly, leading to more efficient combustion. Enhance Engine Performance: Removing carbon deposits from the intake manifold and injectors helps restore power and smooth operation. Prevent Costly Repairs: Routine maintenance can identify potential issues before they escalate, saving you from expensive repairs down the line. The Prosteam Cleaner: A Comprehensive Solution At Approved Automotive Services, we employ the Prosteam Cleaner as part of our diesel fuel system servicing. This advanced cleaner offers a dual-action approach to decarbonise and clean critical engine components. 1. Decarbonising the Intake Manifold The first stage involves the Prosteam Cleaner decarbonising the intake manifold. Carbon deposits in the intake manifold can restrict airflow, negatively impacting the engine's performance. By using Prosteam Cleaner, we ensure that:
- Airflow is Optimised: Cleaner intake manifolds allow for better air-fuel mixture, improving combustion efficiency.
- Engine Power is Restored: Removing carbon build-up helps in regaining the lost engine power, enhancing the overall driving experience.
- Reduced Emissions: A cleaner engine produces fewer emissions, contributing to a healthier environment. 2. Cleaning the Fuel Injectors After addressing the intake manifold, the Prosteam Cleaner moves to the fuel tank, where it cleans the fuel injectors. This step is essential for:
- Efficient Fuel Delivery: Clean injectors ensure precise fuel delivery, leading to improved combustion.
- Reduced Fuel Consumption: Optimised fuel delivery results in better fuel economy, saving you money at the pump.
- Smooth Engine Operation: Clean injectors contribute to smoother engine idling and acceleration, enhancing the overall driving experience.
