New Car Log Book Servicing in West Ipswich

Regular inspections and small repairs with Log Book Servicing can help your car remain efficient, thus avoiding costly repairs caused by larger problems down the line. This cost-saving approach to car maintenance is essential in keeping your vehicle running optimally.

So it's important to understand that Log Book Servicing is a proactive approach to car maintenance to prevent small problems turning into major damage and issues which could otherwise be very costly to repair. Plus it improves your resale value should you want to sell your car in the future.

Every passenger car and most commercial vehicles come with a Log Book issued by the manufacturer that outlines the necessary timing and agenda for routine maintenance. You should store the log book in your glove compartment for quick reference and to record any information, but if you can't find it, Kinnane's Car Clinic can consult our database to get the required information if you've misplaced your book.

The schedule of the service will be a combination of both time or distance.

You may be tempted to delay your next log book service because your car is probably still driveable and it may not have reached BOTH the time and distance measures. While you obviously need to find availability in your budget and schedule, don't delay too long because wear and tear on the car will increase exponentially and could lead to damage which is many times more expensive than the log book service would have been.

Every car is different and the agenda for each service changes according to the schedule, which is why each vehicle is issued with a log book.

 Here are some examples of what can be included:

Choose Kinnane's Car Clinic - Professional and Fully Trained Technicians for all your Hybrid and Electric Vehicle Servicing in our West Ipswich automotive workshop.

The proliferation of hybrid and electric vehicles on Australian roads is on the rise and as technology and infrastructure advances, the selection of models available is predicted to expand. 

Although electric vehicles are less demanding to maintain than those powered by internal combustion engines, they still require routine servicing like any other vehicle.

It is crucial to exercise caution whilst servicing them due to the risk of electrical shock as they operate on high voltages, necessitating specialised PPE, insulated tools, and training.

To ensure that hybrid vehicles operate at peak performance, a combination of standard and specialised maintenance services are necessary. Routine inspections should include brakes, cabin air filters, shock absorbers, and fluid levels, as well as steering and suspension systems. In addition, items such as spark plugs, tyres, wiper blades, lights, air and fuel filters should be checked regularly and replaced when necessary. 

Whilst the electric motor components require minimal servicing, it's important to follow the vehicle's maintenance schedule to ensure optimal operation. Finally, it's crucial to assess and replace the 12-volt battery as needed.

To ensure optimal maintenance for your EV, it is important to select a workshop staffed by competent and knowledgeable technicians like Kinnane's Car Clinic who are equipped with the latest diagnostic tools and top-quality replacement parts. Just as with any contemporary vehicle, this critical decision cannot be taken lightly.

European Car Servicing and Repairs in West Ipswich

Don't let your car become that unfortunate one stuck on the side of the road with steam spewing out from beneath its hood. 

A radiator flush is a simple yet important process that involves cleaning the radiator and removing old coolant to prevent blockages and other potential problems. At its core, a radiator flush is a preventative measure that can save you from costly repairs down the road. 

If your car is overheating you can't just blame the weather, your engine produces a lot of extreme heat and it's the radiator and cooling system that does all the work to prevent your car, and you, from being damaged by all that heat. There is special fluid called coolant in your system that also prevents liquids from freezing and protects the system from corrosion as well.

Signs you need a radiator flush or cooling system service:

Do you notice puddles under your car ? Does your temp gauge read hotter than normal ? Is your car overheating? Then it is time to have your cooling system inspected.

We can perform a well deserved service on your radiator and cooling system. Our fully trained expert mechanics will flush your radiator, using a fluid designed to clear out any build up. When the cooling system has been cleaned out , the solution is removed and coolant replaced, your car's cooling system will be running like a dream: a radiator flush might be just what your car needs to bring it back to peak performance.

What are the benefits of a radiator flush?

Your radiator will be more efficient - and it will last a lot longer. Your engine will be more efficient and have an increased life expectancy. Engine performance and power will be boosted. The water pump will last longer due to better protection and lubrication..

How often should I get a coolant system flush?

Your log book will recommend how often your radiator should be flushed, it is generally suggested that you flush your radiator coolant every two years or 40,000 km's whichever comes first. However, the size of your engine, local seasons, the quality of your existing coolant, and the total km's driven can all have an effect on how regular you'll need to replace the coolant in your radiator.

At Kinnane's Car Clinic, 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 on your vehicle. This includes checking the level and condition of coolant in your system and the written report will tell you if we feel a radiator flush, coolant replacement or any repairs are necessary to maintain the performance of your vehicle.

What happens if I don't get a radiator flush or service?

Over time rust and scale deposits collect and the whole system becomes jammed up and not as good at cooling and protecting your car. This build up of rust and debris can damage components of your cooling system including your water pump, radiator, hoses and thermostat, this can reduce the lifespan of those parts and leading to expensive repairs or replacements in the future.

While there are many websites and how to's offering advice on how to flush a radiator yourself - Its not something we recommend. Modern vehicles can be complex and mistakes like incomplete flushing or changing the coolant in your vehicle without flushing can cause any deposits to move around more and cause blockages in your thermostat or radiator. It's wise have your systems inspected regularly by a qualified mechanic, and properly flushed before being refilled with coolant of the right specifications, the system purged of any air pockets, and then the whole system reviewed by an expert again to ensure full working order and to prevent any costly breakdowns in the future.

Radiator coolant is toxic and needs to be handled very carefully. It has a sweet smell which can be appealing to your kids and pets so proper storage is very important - letting a trained technician take care of this task means not handling or having dangerous chemicals around your house. Dangerous coolant also needs to be disposed of in the proper manner, professional workshops can have the coolant recycled or properly disposed of to save the environment.

If your vehicle is showing these symptoms come and see the team at Kinnane's Car Clinic.

Is your car overheating, making strange noises, or emitting a funky smell? These could be signs that your radiator is due for a flush. Learn what a radiator flush is, why it's important, and how to recognise the telltale signs.
