Easter Driving in Cowaramup: Book Your Car Service Early Easter is coming up fast, and we all know what that means – long weekends, school holidays, and plenty of trips to visit friends and family or explore the great outdoors… But here's the deal: with Easter being such a popular time for road trips, workshops in Cowaramup start filling up way ahead of time. Waiting till the last minute to book your car service? Yeah, that's risky business. You don't want to be stuck with no spot or, worse, a car that’s not ready for the road. Booking in early at Cowaramup Auto Tech means your ride will be in tip-top shape before the Easter rush kicks in. If you’re planning to hit the road for a longer trip or even if you’re just sticking close to home, regular servicing is essential. A well-serviced car not only runs smoother but also helps avoid unexpected breakdowns or expensive repairs. If your car’s got an air conditioning system that hasn’t been cleaned or disinfected in a while, now’s a great time to do it. A clean A/C system keeps the air in your car cabin fresh and healthy – not to mention it just smells so much better. Cowaramup Auto Tech have Arctick Authorisation to safely and reliably service your car air conditioning system (AU46534). Why Regular Servicing Is a Must for Holiday Driving So, what's the big deal about regular car servicing anyway? Think of it like this: just like you need to go to the doctor for check-ups, your car needs a little TLC too. A proper service helps keep all those moving parts running the way they should. That means your brakes will stop when you need them to, your engine won't make weird noises halfway through your trip, and your fuel system will work efficiently, saving you some cash at the pump. When you book your car in with Cowaramup Auto Tech, here’s what else you’re looking at during a standard service: Engine Check-Up: 
Making sure your engine’s working smoothly so your car doesn’t leave you stranded. Brake and Clutch Inspection: 
Your safety depends on this. Brakes that work properly are an absolute must, especially if you’re driving in busier holiday traffic. Oil Change and Filter Replacement: 
Keeps your engine clean and running efficiently, reducing wear and tear. Battery Test: 
A flat battery can ruin a holiday real quick. Checking it beforehand avoids any unnecessary stress. Tyres and Suspension: 
Making sure your tyres are safe, balanced, and have enough tread. Plus, suspension checks help ensure a comfy ride. Why You Should Book Early for Easter Here’s the thing: as Easter gets closer, the demand for car servicing in Cowaramup goes through the roof. Everyone’s getting ready for their big trips, and workshops like Cowaramup Auto Tech can only handle so many cars at a time. If you don’t book early, you’re taking a gamble on whether you’ll get a spot before the holidays. Even if your car seems fine right now, skipping regular servicing could lead to problems down the track. For modern vehicles – especially diesels – skipping routine maintenance like inlet manifold flushes can cause major headaches (and bigger bills) later on. Why risk it? Easter is still a little while away, but trust us, now’s the perfect time to book your service. That way, you can relax knowing your car’s good to go, whether you’re heading out on a road trip or just cruising around Cowaramup with the family.

At Cowaramup Auto Tech we provide expert brake pad replacement service using quality parts, covered by our Nationwide Warranty.

If you're not sure if your brake maintenance is 100% - call a professional, Call Cowaramup Auto Tech in Cowaramup Today! What are brake pads? Your brake pads are an essential factor of your braking system and they are a part that should never be ignored. Brake pads compress against your brake rotors to create friction in order for your car to stop. Brake pads work really hard, really often. The amount of pressure required to stop a moving vehicle is enormous and gives off a lot of heat which erodes the brake pads. Worn brake pads means impaired braking which is dangerous for you and others. Which is why consistent testing and assessments of the condition of your brake pads is crucial. How do I know when it's time for a brake pad replacement? If your brakes squeal - that can be an indication that your brake pads are due for a change; many pads have a small metal piece implanted in them which scrapes on the disc when your brake pads are wearing out, causing that high pitch noise. However, this doesn't indicate that you should wait until you hear noises to get your pads checked, we advise having your brakes inspected at every service. It is important to remember that brake noises are not only caused by normal wear and any unusual noises anywhere in your car should always be investigated by a qualified professional mechanic. We offer a Free Vehicle Inspection Report with every car service. As part of our Vehicle Inspection Report we inspect the brake pads for wear and will tell you if they want replacing. We can also recommend the right pad for your driving style and conditions. How often should I replace my car brake pads? Car brake pads can last anywhere between 15,000 to 70,000 km's. This can vary due to a number of elements such as; regular heavy loads, driving style and conditions. If your brake pads are wearing out prematurely your mechanic might advise using a heat resistant or heavier duty brake pad more suited to your vehicle. Larger vehicles such as 4wds, SUV's, light commercials, and trucks often require heavy duty brake pads to cope with the additional load placed on them by the vehicles mass. Vehicles that often tow heavy loads are also candidates for a heavy duty brake pad upgrade. Can I change the brake pads myself? Some things are best left to the experts 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.

At Cowaramup Auto Tech, we take pride in offering top-notch brake pad replacement services. Our highly skilled technicians use only premium components to ensure the safety and reliability of your vehicle. Furthermore, all our services are backed by our comprehensive Nationwide Warranty, giving you peace of mind no matter where your travels take you...

Well it is the same with your car. When accelerating, you are controlling how much fuel and air the engine takes in. The mixture goes into the combustion chamber of an engine cylinder were it is ignited. This then powers the engine. The issue is, it produces a by-product called carbon. This carbon collects in the air intake, combustion chamber, and exhaust system, which will restrict your car’s ability to breathe properly.  Carbon deposits have also been linked to the following: Aromatic Hydrocarbons within the fuel Metals from fuel Additives used in fuel Stop and Go traffic Driving conditions- continuous short trips, high load low revving engines Emission control systems (Exhaust gas recirculation systems) This is where the problem starts. If there is an excess build-up of carbon in your vehicles engine the following may occur; Vehicle performance issues, feeling sluggish etc Running rough Poor vehicle emissions Poor fuel economy In extreme cases it could result in engine damage... These mainly occur due to the fact that the carbon deposits inside the engine may restrict the air mixing with the petrol  which in turn could cause the mixture to be not as efficient when igniting, causing a loss of power. To fix the problem, we carry out an EGR system service. This pushes cleaning mixture throughout the throttle body, intake manifold, intake valves, combustion chamber, piston crowns, cylinder heads, EGR valves, oxygen sensors and catalytic converters while restoring your vehicle to its optimum running condition this ensures that a clean mixture of air and petrol creates an efficient mix for the vehicle. Benefits of receiving a Complete Air Intake clean: Restores and maintains engine performance and fuel economy Disperses unwanted gum, lacquer, tar and carbon for improved performance Improves vehicle emissions Restores vehicles fuel economy Noticeable drivability and engine smoothness Reduces carbon build up throughout the engine. This is recommended on all vehicles that have done more than 50,000 km. So call the team at Cowaramup Autotech and book your car in for its EGR Service.

We have had a few interesting surprises recently with some of our services - especially diesel engines - finding the dreaded "Sludge" in the oil, clogged up oil filters, contamination on sensors etc.  With modern diesels, pushing out your servicing and not carrying out preventive inlet manifold flushes will always come back and bite you hard. Here is a little story - hope it helps you to understand the detrimental damage done to your engine when you do not carry out regular oil services and preventive maintenance:- Everybody knows that Sludge smells terrible and whenever you have Sludge, his best buddy Friction isn’t far behind - great, who brought these guys?  The Smoooooth Operator song (by Sade… you remember that one right?!) comes to a screeching halt because nobody wants Friction at their happy-engine party.    Sludge is always so tough to get rid of though once he’s there. He’s always blocking door ways, getting in the way of activities, and stinking the place up big time.  The entire symphony of parts on the once flowing dance floor begin intently looking at each other watching for the first one to head out. Obviously no one wants to be “that guy” at the party.  A short time passes, and the damage that "Sludge" and "Friction" has caused to the happy-engine party is now apparent and irreversible.   The Bearing sisters can’t take the heat anymore and start saying their goodbye’s to all of their close friends.  As soon as the Bearings make the first move, the rest of the parts follow them out the door as fast as they can.   This leaves you, the party master, standing there shoeless with your pockets hanging out in the middle of an empty dance floor.  Meanwhile, you can hear that Sludge and Friction are still hanging out in your kitchen eating your leftover lasagna and talking about borrowing your car. Ugh. Looking back, you realize that if you never let "Sludge" and "Friction" into the engine-party to begin with, all of your friends would have had another great time together spinning around the dance floor, and would have been around for many years to come.  Unfortunately, the damage has been done, and now you need a new set of friends to invite to your future engine-parties. Your parties will never be quite the same again. So don't let oil sludge spoil your diesel party. Get a regular service and checkup at Cowaramup Auto Tech and Party On...

With contemporary diesel engines, delaying your regular maintenance and neglecting to perform preventive cleaning of the inlet manifold will inevitably lead to significant problems down the line. It is always better to be proactive rather than reactive when it comes to the upkeep of your diesel engine, as neglecting these tasks can result in costly repairs and unnecessary stress...
