Athena Automatics (AU07540) are the right choice to conduct all your Car Air Conditioning Regas, Repairs, Servicing or Inspection needs in Tingalpa and the surrounding areas.

Todays vehicles are very complex and just like the engine a vehicle's air conditioner has components that need to be serviced or replaced on a regular basis to ensure continued reliable and efficient operation. A car air conditioning system which is overdue for a service will tend to have to work a lot harder to keep your car and it's  occupants cool throughout the harsh Australian summers. This translates to more fuel being used by the engine.

Athena Automatics Car Air Conditioning Auto Facts

Reduced levels of refrigerant from evaporation or leaks mean your air con system will begin to deteriorate and will have to work harder, with a resulting increase in fuel being used up. Therefore it is important to scrutinise the condition of the rubber seals regularly for any signs of leaks or deterioration which may point to a loss of refrigerant.

A yearly car air conditioning service means you generally protect against costly breakdowns now and in the future, keep passengers safe by helping to prevent the build-up of potentially harmful substances and a well serviced automotive air conditioning system actually saves you money because it uses less fuel.

Athena Automatics care about the environment and have Arctick Authorisation (AU07540) to reliably and responsibly conduct automotive air conditioning regas, repairs, servicing or inspection.

Modern cars do not run on steam and we all know that car stuck on the side of the road with steam billowing from under the raised bonnet is going nowhere fast.

It's not just in the summer months that your car can overheat. During it's normal operation your engine generates a significant amount of heat and the radiator and cooling system are tasked with preventing your car, and you, from being damaged by all that heat. There is special fluid called coolant in your system that facilitates this process and also prevents liquids from freezing whilst protecting the system from corrosion as well.

Given time, rust and scale deposits collect in the cooling system and it can become so clogged upit is no longer as good at cooling and protecting your car as it could be. This build up of rust and debris can also damage components of your cooling system including your water pump, radiator, hoses and thermostat, affecting the lifespan of those parts and leading to expensive repairs or replacements in the future.

Do you notice puddles under your car  or does your temperature gauge read hotter than normal? These are both signs that you need to have your cooling system inspected. Obviously, if your car regularly overheats then it is time to bring it in to Athena Automatics to prevent damage to the cooling system and possibly the engine itself .

Athena Automatics can perform an inspection and where required a service on your radiator and cooling system. Our fully trained team of experts will properly flush your radiator with a solution designed to remove any build up. Once the cooling system has been properly cleaned out , the cleansing fluid 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.

Your manufacturer's log book will recommend how often to flush your radiator system, It is usually suggested that you have your system flushed every two years or 40,000 km's whichever comes first. However, the size of your engine, regional weather, the condition 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. Your Athena Automatics mechanic will certainly let you know when your cooling system needs a good flushing.

At Athena Automatics, we offer 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 coolant in your system and the written report will tell you if we feel a radiator flush, coolant replacement or any repairs are advised to maintain the safety and performance of your vehicle.

While you can certainly find plenty of advice on how to flush a radiator yourself - it's not something we would advise you to do. Today's vehicles are complex and mistakes like incomplete flushing or changing the coolant in your vehicle without flushing can disturb the sediment and cause blockages in your thermostat or radiator. 

It's advisable to have your systems checked regularly by a qualified mechanic, and properly flushed, before being refilled with the recommended coolant type, the system purged of any air pockets and the whole system checked by a professional once again to ensure full working order and to prevent any costly breakdowns in the future. 

Radiator coolant is quite toxic and needs to be handled very carefully. It smells sweet which can be inviting to both young children and pets so proper storage is very important - having a trained technician take care of this job 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 ill effects to the environment.

The Importance of Radiator Flushing to protect your engine

Brake repairs are what many people tend to consider when it comes to being safe on the roads, but concentrating on brake maintenance is far more beneficial to your overall safety. Simply put, properly maintained brakes shouldn't need repairs. 

Poorly maintained brakes can affect your ability to stop efficiently and safely, putting you and your passenger's at risk.

Regular brake maintenance allows you to feel confident that your brakes will be in good working order when you need them the most; in an emergency situation!

When it comes to Brake Maintenance, you should never take a risk. If you're not sure if you're brake maintenance is 100% - call a professional such as Athena Automatics today.

It is important to remember that noisy brakes are not always caused by normal wear and any unusual noises anywhere in your car should always be investigated by a qualified professional mechanic.

Regular examination as part of our 65 point vehicle report, which we undertake with every full car service overseen at Athena Automatics, are imperative for making sure the car's braking system is functioning well. Our expert technicians can be relied on to inform you if they suspect that servicing or repairs of the vehicle's brake system is to be considered so it doesn't progress to a bigger problem.

Your brake pads are a vital factor in your ability to stop safely and efficiently. The brake pads compress against the brake rotors to produce friction, which causes your car to stop. This friction gives off a lot of heat, which can cause wear on the brake pads.

If your brakes squeal - that can be a warning that your brake pads are getting thin; many pads have a small metal piece implanted in them which will scrape on the disc when your brake pads are wearing out, causing that high pitch noise. You should never wait until you hear noises to get your pads checked however, we advise having your brakes inspected at every service.

At Athena Automatics we offer a free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report with every car service. As part of our Vehicle Inspection Report we inspect the brake pads for wear and let you know if they require replacing. We can also recommend the right pad for your driving style and conditions.

Brake Pads can live anywhere between 15,000 to 70,000 km's. This changes according to a number of reasons such as; driving conditions, driving style, if you are carrying heavy loads or towing. If your brake pads are wearing out early your mechanic might advise using a heat resistant or heavier duty brake pad more suited to your vehicle. 

You might think you can change your brake pads yourself but some things are best left to trained mechanics and this is one of them. You should never let anyone but a qualified professional touch something as key to your safety as your braking system.

Athena Automatics are qualified to perform a wide range of brake services and repairs using quality parts, all covered by our nationwide warranty.

We can provide inspection, repair or replacement of many brake components such as:

Brake Disc/Rotor And Drum Machining or Resurfacing

The fact is that you have the right to choose where your vehicle is serviced, maintained and repaired, at competitive prices.

Wanting to get the most out of the car sales that occur towards the end of the year or just want to get your new car serviced in time for the holidays? Here is some sound advice from Athena Automatics in Tingalpa.

Purchasing a new car is one of the most substantial investments the majority of people make, so it is sensible to do what you can to take care of it. Caring for your new car goes beyond detailing the interior and keeping it sparkling with a loving weekly wash, however.

There are a few other things to consider, such as who is the best choice to service your car.

You will want to ensure it is regularly serviced by a qualified professional, to the manufacturers requirements, using high quality parts from a reputable supplier and fluids which meet the manufacturers specifications. This is not just to look after your new car, but because if these four requirements are met you will also preserve the manufacturers warranty.

The fact is that you have the right to choose the best workshop to service your new car without voiding either the manufacturers warranty or your rights under the Consumer Guarantee

You do not have to return the car to the dealership where you originally bought it for service or repairs. Provided the work is performed to the manfufacturers specifications by an acceptably qualified person and uses tolerable quality parts and fluids, the warranty stands. You have the right to choose who services your car.

With Repco Authorised Service you can tick all the boxes. Every Athena Automatics mechanic is fully qualified and Auto-Tech trained, giving them access to Australia's leading provider of automotive technical information and training. This means Athena Automatics mechanics are kept fully up to date with the latest in automotive service techniques and are able to service your new car without voiding the warranty.

Repco branded parts & products are manufactured to stringent Repco quality standards, and are covered by the Repco Nationwide Warranty, giving you added protection. Athena Automatics will also only ever use fluids and lubricants that meet the specifications of the manufacturer of the vehicle.

If you already own a new car or are thinking of purchasing one, make sure you clearly understand where your statutory rights begin and end.

Make sure you are aware of the variances between extended, statutory and manufacturer warranties to avoid making the wrong decisions when it comes to servicing your new car. You are automatically covered by a statutory warranty, also known as a Consumer Guarantee, under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and this statutory protection can never be superseded by manufacturer or express warranties (which are offered by the car maker and car dealer respectively).

A lack of disclosure requirements on car dealers at the point of sale regarding these contracts can easily lead the consumer into making a choice to be bound by a long term contract without access to all of the details needed to make a properly informed decision.

So when closing the deal, be on the watch for new car dealers who may try to sell you extra “express” or “extended” warranties, often for free. Normally these ‘augmented' warranties may include quite distinct restrictions or provisions, and are not always what they are cracked up to be. Many times these contracts provide minimal additional benefits over and above the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with a particular car dealership.

Such contracts are very unlikely to highlight the potential negative aspects involved with taking a new car back to the dealer for service or repair. This includes possible increased travel times to get your car serviced or longer waiting times due to fewer available service locations or mechanics.
