Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. Grease Monkey Autowerx in Carrum Downs 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 Grease Monkey Autowerx in Carrum Downs 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 Grease Monkey Autowerx in Carrum Downs.  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 Grease Monkey Autowerx 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 Carrum Downs. 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.

Car Battery Testing and FAQ 

Essential Maintenance with Grease Monkey Autowerx in Carrum Downs As the seasons change in Australia, vehicle owners often overlook a critical component of car maintenance—the radiator and engine cooling system. Grease Monkey Autowerx, located in Carrum Downs, understands the importance of ensuring these systems are in optimal condition before the extreme temperatures of summer and winter. Let's delve into why regular inspections are vital, and how Grease Monkey Autowerx can assist you in maintaining your vehicle's performance. The Role of Radiators and Cooling Systems Radiators and engine cooling systems play a pivotal role in your vehicle’s operation. They prevent the engine from overheating by transferring heat away from the engine block. The system primarily consists of the radiator, thermostat, water pump, coolant, hoses, and the overflow tank. Over time, components can degrade, leading to potential failures. Key Components and Their Functionality Radiator: This component dissipates heat from the coolant, which circulates through the engine to absorb excess heat.  Thermostat: It regulates the flow of coolant to the radiator, maintaining optimal engine temperature. Water Pump: Ensures the coolant circulates throughout the engine and radiator. Hoses: These channels link the radiator to the engine, allowing coolant to flow. Overflow Tank: Also known as the coolant reservoir, this tank captures excess coolant that expands from heat, preventing spills and pressure build-up. Potential Failures Over Time Over time, radiators can develop leaks or blockages, thermostats might malfunction, and hoses can become brittle. Such issues reduce the system's efficiency and can lead to engine overheating, especially under the stress of high temperatures in summer or the cold snaps of winter. Radiator Leaks: Corrosion or damage can lead to leaks, reducing the system's efficiency. Thermostat Failure: A faulty thermostat can result in overheating or excessive cooling. Water Pump Issues: Wear and tear can cause the pump to malfunction, impeding coolant flow. Coolant Degradation: Coolant can lose its properties, leading to inefficient heat absorption. Hose Damage: Cracks or splits in hoses can cause leaks, reducing system pressure. Fan Malfunction: Electrical issues or mechanical failure can prevent the fans from operating correctly. Radiator Coolant and Additives Coolant, often a mix of water and antifreeze, is essential for temperature regulation. Over time, coolant can become contaminated with debris or develop a wrong pH balance, leading to corrosion within the system. Regular inspection and flushing of the coolant are crucial. Coolant additives can further enhance protection, but their effectiveness diminishes with age. Grease Monkey Autowerx recommends routine checks to prevent such build-ups. Why Regular Inspections Matter Extreme temperatures, whether high or low, put additional strain on your vehicle's cooling system. Before the summer heat sets in or the winter chill takes hold, having your cooling system inspected by experts is a proactive step to ensure your vehicle's reliability. A malfunctioning system not only risks a breakdown but can also cause significant engine damage if overheating occurs.
