During the colder months of the year, having a reliable vehicle becomes even more important. Something that often goes unnoticed is the condition of your car battery. At Hervey Bay Service Centre in Pialba, we understand the importance of battery check-ups to prevent unexpected breakdowns and ensure your vehicle performs at its best. We cater to a wide range of vehicles, including passenger cars, 4x4s, Utes, Vans, and SUVs.

If you're wondering about your battery's condition, our experts at Hervey Bay Service Centre can help. We use tools like a Battery Load Tester to quickly assess your battery's health. This test can provide peace of mind or, if necessary, we can replace the battery. Simply visit our automotive workshop in Pialba and one of our friendly staff will conduct the test, it will only take a few minutes.

Don't be "that car" stuck on the side of the road with steam pouring from under the hood.

Overheating car's arent just caused by hot weather, your engine gets hot, really hot, and it's the radiator and cooling system that does all the work to keep your car, and you, from being damaged by all that heat. A fluid called coolant in the system also prevents liquids from freezing and protects the system from corrosion as well.

Signs you need a radiator flush or cooling system service:

If your dashboard shows your car is running hotter than normal, your vehicle is overheating or you are leaving puddles of coolant where ever you park it is best to have your cooling system checked over by a professional.

If your vehicle is showing these symptoms come and see the team at Hervey Bay Service Centre

We will give your radiator and cooling system a well deserved service. Our qualified mechanics will perform a proper radiator flush, using a solution which is designed to remove any build up. When the cooling system has been cleaned out, the solution is emptied, fresh new coolant is added and 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.

What are the benefits of a radiator flush?

Your radiator will be more efficient, reliable and live longer. Your engine will be more efficient and have an increased life expectancy. Boost the performance and power of your engine Your water pump is further protected as it is better lubricated.

What happens if I don't get a radiator flush or service?

Over time rust and scale deposits accumulate and the whole system becomes choked and it becomes less effective at cooling and protecting your car. This build up of rust and debris can damage the important parts 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.

If your car is overheating you can't just blame the weather, your engine gives off a lot of extreme heat and it's the radiator along with the rest of the cooling system that stops your car, and you, from being damaged by all that heat.
