Are you planning a road trip this holiday season? Whether it's a quick getaway to the countryside or an extended drive across Australia, ensuring your car is road-ready is crucial. Nothing is more disruptive than an avoidable breakdown that can derail your meticulously planned holiday. Before you head out, let's explore the importance of booking your car for a service, especially during busy periods like December, to ensure your vehicle is prepared for a memorable and trouble-free journey.

Conveniently located in Enoggera, Mototech Automotive specialise in car servicing for all makes and models, including four wheel drive, diesel cars and commercial fleet vehicles.

Holidays are an ideal time to explore new destinations and create lasting memories. However, ensuring your vehicle is in peak condition before hitting the road is essential.

1. Oil Level: Ensure your engine oil is at the correct level and in good condition.
2. Tyre Pressure: Check tyre pressure, including the spare tyre, to ensure they are inflated to the recommended levels.
3. Brakes: Test your brakes for responsiveness and inspect the brake pads for wear.
4. Lights: Ensure all lights, including headlights, brake lights, and indicators, are functioning correctly.

These checks are vital to keep your car running smoothly and to ensure the safety of yourself and others on the road.

Booking a car service before your holiday trip is even more important. Getting your car checked by a professional automotive technician can help detect potential issues that may arise during your journey. A professional mechanic will perform a comprehensive check of your car, which includes inspecting the engine, transmission, cooling system, suspension, air conditioning, and brakes. Detecting minor issues before they turn into major problems ensures your vehicle's longevity and reduces repair costs in the long run.

Given that December is a busy month for car servicing, it's crucial to book your car service well in advance. Mototech Automotive in Enoggera is often fully booked during this period. If repairs are needed and you haven't scheduled your service early, your travel departure plans could be delayed.

One essential aspect of car servicing before a road trip is an air conditioning inspection and service. With the hot Australian summer, maintaining a comfortable temperature inside your vehicle is crucial. A professional technician can ensure that your air conditioning system is functioning efficiently, providing you with comfort throughout your journey.

Another critical check is the radiator coolant inspection and replacement. The radiator coolant helps keep the engine from overheating, which is especially important during the scorching summer months. Ensuring that your coolant is at the right level and in good condition can prevent engine failures and keep your car running smoothly.
