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.

City Car Care Braddon can carry out ACT Roadworthy Inspections for vehicle registrations, defect clearances, interstate transfers, LPG vehicles or just for peace of mind.

 In the Australian Capital Territory vehicles must be inspected and provided with a roadworthy certificate before being registered in the following situations:

A brand new vehicle being registered for the first time 

At transfer of ownership if the vehicle is more than six years old 

If it is being transferred from another state - regardless of age 

If it has been unregistered for longer than 12 months 

If the vehicle has received a defect notice. 

All vehicles powered by LPG require annual inspections. 

Once registered, a vehicle in Canberra will rarely need an inspection if it doesn't change owners and stays registered - however the ACT has a random inspection scheme which means at any time, in any road related area (including car parks) a vehicle can be subjected to a visual inspection.

If any faults or defects are identified in the course of such an inspection, then a notice is issued and the use of the vehicle could be restricted until a Roadworthy Inspection is performed and the vehicle is cleared of faults.

 If you have a vehicle which requires registration, you are planning to sell or buy a car, or if you just want peace of mind that your car is fully roadworthy and safe to drive, get a City Car Care Braddon Roadworthy Inspection now.
