Different Radiator Repair You May Need The radiator is a key component in your car but there can be different repairs you may need.

Brake service
How Often Do You Need Brake Service? Brakes will need to be replaced when they are worn out, but brake service will be different. In order to work properly, brake pads will need to be able to slide inside the brake unit and move towards and away from the disc. Brakes will endure a lot of dust and heat when braking and moisture can build up while driving in the rain. Due to this, rust buildup can cause brake pads to stick. Similar issues can happen with the rear drum brakes

Brake replacement
How Often You Need Brake Replacement Brake pads and rotors will wear out over time. How long until you need brake replacement will depend on your driving patterns and the brake material. How hard you push on your brakes will affect how long the pads last. Some drivers will ride the brakes and others don’t, which can increase the life of the pad. Stop and go traffic and driving in a city can also wear out brakes faster than driving on long, straight roads that require less fre

Coronavirus - Advice for car drivers
As the COVID-19 Coronavirus continues to impact all areas of day to day life, things as normal as driving your car have been thrown into doubt. At the moment, nothing is really business as usual, with governments in all states requesting that Australians stay at home in order to stop the virus from spreading.

Holden future servicing and repairs support in doubt
In late February, Holden, or General Motors (who own Holden) announced that when 2020 ended, so would the Holden brand. Yep, that’s right. Holden would no longer be selling cars in Australia, or anywhere, after 72 years. At the same time, GM made a few announcements to try and ease the shock this undoubtedly caused customers who had purchased a new Holden vehicle in the last few years.

How to Clean Your Car for Coronavirus
In a global pandemic like the current coronavirus situation, our cars are a bit like microbial prisons. All the worst stuff from everywhere in the outside world gets dragged in and stays. All the good stuff follows us in, too, but that subtle whiff of pine on Uncle Fred's jacket is far less consequential than COVID-19. Luckily, keeping your car clean isn't all that complicated. The most effective weapon against COVID-19 is soap (for seats and dashboards, of course). It doesn’

Can you be fined if your passenger is using a mobile phone?
I have a feeling that a few people may be slightly surprised by this answer but to put it simply, yes, you can. Each state and territory in Australia imposes a fine for mobile phone use whilst driving. There are no surprises here, but there has been some activity in the mobile phone usage space over the last few months. At the start of February 2020, Queensland upped their penalty for mobile phone use whilst driving to $1000 and 4 demerit points. That’s a fair whack. Late 201
