While half of Australia is enjoying their dry season up north, the southern half of the country is bracing for a wet winter.

That could mean there is very different approaches to be prepared for winter driving; however the fundamentals of safe winter motoring don't change. So what do you do to make sure your car is prepared for safe winter motoring? 

We've all experienced that moment where you turn on the wipers on the first rainy day and only then remember you should have replaced them! Your wipers are exposed to the full force of the Australian sun all year round and wear out. A good quality wiper blade like Trico is essential to help you see your way clear regardless of the weather. Petrie Mechanical Repairs can recommend a wiper blade or assembly that is right for your car.

Fluids and other workings in your car can be impacted by cold weather; this includes coolants, oils and items such as glow plugs in diesel vehicles. It's important to have your car serviced regularly by a professional who knows the correct parts and products for your vehicle's needs. We use high quality NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils and fluids that are designed for Australian conditions.  

Always remember to drive to your conditions. Slow down in wet weather or poor visibility and leave a larger than normal stopping distance between yourself and the vehicle in front. Drive on the safe side and book in today for a service or a Vehicle Inspection Report.

Keep a look out for the warning signs that your brakes need some work, such as vibrating, spongy or slow responding brake pedal, strange sounds or difficult handling when applying pressure to your brakes. If you are experiencing any of these you should get it checked out by a qualified mechanic. Brake inspections form part of our Vehicle Service Inspection Report, so if you have concerns call us today and book in.

It's dangerous to drive on worn tyres, or tyres with incorrect inflation. Now is the time to take a good look at your tyres. If you spot uneven tyre wear, this could indicate that your shock absorbers or some other vital part of your steering and suspension systems are due for service or replacement. Find out more about the components that affect your tyre wear on the links below: 

Driving on tyres which are not inflated correctly will not only cost you extra fuel money; it can also impact your braking ability. You can usually find manufacturers recommendations on a panel inside the driver side door.

In the ever-evolving landscape of automotive technology, hybrid cars have become an increasingly popular choice for drivers seeking a balance between environmental responsibility and fuel efficiency. Owning such a vehicle means you need a trustworthy partner for your car's maintenance needs, especially one that possesses cutting-edge expertise and a wealth of experience. 

Petrie Mechanical Repairs have over 70 years of collective industry experience and state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment converge to provide unparalleled hybrid car servicing.

Hybrid vehicles are marvels of modern engineering, combining traditional internal combustion engines with electric powertrains. This dual-system setup requires a nuanced understanding of both mechanical and electrical components, ensuring both systems work in perfect harmony for optimal performance. At Petrie Mechanical Repairs, we recognise that maintaining a hybrid vehicle is not just about routine checks; it involves a deeper dive into the specifics of hybrid technology.

Understanding the Mechanics of Hybrid Cars

 One of the most critical components of a hybrid vehicle is its battery. Hybrid batteries differ significantly from standard car batteries and require specialised knowledge to assess their health and longevity. At Petrie Mechanical Repairs, our technicians are equipped with advanced diagnostic tools to evaluate the condition of your hybrid battery, ensuring it performs at its peak and extends its lifespan.

 Hybrid cars feature a regenerative braking system that recovers energy typically lost during braking and uses it to recharge the battery. Our skilled team understands the intricacies of this system, providing thorough inspections and maintenance to ensure your vehicle's braking performance remains efficient and reliable.

 While the electric motor is a standout feature of hybrids, the internal combustion engine (ICE) still plays a vital role. Regular maintenance of the ICE is crucial for the overall efficiency of your hybrid vehicle. Our experts at Petrie Mechanical Repairs are well-versed in servicing these engines, from oil changes to comprehensive engine checks, ensuring they complement the electric motor seamlessly.

3. Internal Combustion Engine Maintenance:

 The transmission system in a hybrid car is unique, often being a continuously variable transmission (CVT) or a specialised hybrid gearbox. Our technicians have the experience and knowledge necessary to maintain and repair these complex systems, keeping your car running smoothly and efficiently.

 Hybrid vehicles rely heavily on software and electronic systems for efficient operation. Our team at Petrie Mechanical Repairs stays ahead of the curve with the latest software updates and diagnostic procedures, ensuring your vehicle's electronic systems are always current and functioning correctly.

5. Software Updates and Diagnostic Checks:

Our commitment to providing the best care for your hybrid vehicle goes beyond our technical capabilities. At Petrie Mechanical Repairs, we pride ourselves on offering a service that is not only efficient but also personal and transparent. Our Repco Nationwide Warranty ensures that wherever you travel, you have peace of mind knowing that support is always available.

The automotive industry is continuously advancing, and hybrid vehicles represent the forefront of this evolution. At Petrie Mechanical Repairs, we are dedicated to staying at the cutting edge of hybrid technology, providing you with a service that not only meets but exceeds your expectations. Whether you’re looking for routine maintenance or specific repairs, our team is here to ensure your hybrid vehicle remains in top condition.

Embrace the future of driving with confidence, knowing that your hybrid car is in expert hands at Petrie Mechanical Repairs. Visit our workshop and experience the difference that dedication, knowledge, and top-tier equipment make in hybrid car servicing.
