At City Car Care Braddon in Braddon, we offer a complimentary 65 Point Vehicle Inspection with every service. Our skilled mechanics conduct a thorough visual examination of key vehicle components and provide a detailed written report on your car’s condition. We'll help you identify and address any issues to ensure you're prepared for safe winter driving.

Preparing your car for wintery conditions in the ACT involves specific steps, but the core principles remain constant. How can you ensure your vehicle is ready for winter conditions?

It's all too easy to forget about your wipers until you need them. The harsh Australian sun can wear them down over time. Invest in a quality wiper blade like Trico to maintain visibility in all weather. City Car Care Braddon can recommend the perfect wiper blades for your vehicle.

Cold weather can affect your car’s fluids, such as coolants and oils, as well as parts like glow plugs in diesel vehicles. Regular servicing by knowledgeable mechanics who understand your vehicle’s needs is vital. We utilise top-quality NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils, designed for Australian conditions.

As conditions shift, your driving habits should adapt. Reduce speed in wet or foggy conditions and maintain a larger gap between your car and others. Ensure your vehicle is ready for any situation by scheduling a service or 65 Point Inspection with us today.

Watch for signs that your brakes need attention, such as vibrations, unusual noises, or a spongy pedal. These are included in our comprehensive inspection. If you notice any issues, contact us to book an evaluation.

During the chilly winter months in Braddon, car batteries can struggle to maintain optimal performance. Cold temperatures can reduce a battery's capacity and slow down chemical reactions within it, making it more difficult for your vehicle to start. This is particularly true for vehicles used infrequently, as their batteries may not have the opportunity to recharge regularly.

Ensure your tyres have adequate tread. Uneven wear might suggest suspension or steering issues. Properly inflated tyres save fuel and improve stopping distance. Check the recommended tyre pressure on the driver-side door panel.

Flexible Payment options with AFTERPAY now available with City Car Care Braddon. Ask us for more information at time of booking.

Your vehicle has a number of different filters and each one works in a different system in your car. City Car Care Braddon knows those systems inside and out. For servicing in Braddon and surrounding suburbs you can count on us.

Quite simply- a filter traps particles which should not be present in, or could do damage to, the system which it filters. Therefore all filters have a lifespan - once they get congested with the particles they are filtering - replacement is a must. Not replacing filters in your car when they need to be changed can lead to expensive breakdowns in some very important parts of your vehicle.

Oil Filter: Cleans the oil and allows it to flow through the engine better
Air Filter: Traps dirt particles which could damage cylinders, walls and pistons
Cabin Air Filter: Keeps pollen, dust and bacteria out of the ventilation system
Fuel Filter: Filters harmful contaminants which could do damage to carburettors or fuel injectors

Types of Filters in your vehicle include:

At City Car Care Braddon we provide a full 65 point vehicle inspection report upon request with every full car service. This includes a check of your cars filters to help avoid expensive breakdowns in the future.
