Low temperatures can negatively impact car batteries, causing starting difficulties and leaving drivers stranded. To avoid such problems, Garage 135 offers Free Driveway Car Battery testing at any time. Our comprehensive assessment readies your vehicle for the upcoming cold weather, ensuring its reliability and safety.

Cold temperatures can affect the chemical reactions within a car battery, resulting in reduced power retention and delivery capabilities. Even a battery that works efficiently in warm conditions can falter in supplying the required energy to start a car in colder temperatures. This drop in performance can speed up wear and tear, which may lead to sudden battery failure.

How Cold Temperatures challenge Batteries?

At Garage 135, our pre-winter battery check ups includes a review of several critical elements to assess your battery's condition and confirm your vehicle's dependability:

Battery Voltage and Charge: Testing the battery's charge retention capability, a crucial health metric.

Battery Terminals and Cables: Checking for any corrosion or damage that could impair electrical conduction.

Battery Case Condition: Inspecting for any physical damage or leakage that could influence performance.

Battery Age: Considering the natural decline in a battery's efficiency over time to estimate its remaining service life.

If you find yourself in need of a battery replacement, you can count on Garage 135 to have an extensive variety of sizes suitable for various types of vehicles. Our selection includes BOSCH and Optima Car Batteries for passenger vehicles, 4x4, 4WDs and SUVs. In addition to battery replacement, our experienced technicians are also skilled in conducting diagnostic evaluations on other critical components, such as the alternator and starter motor, to accurately identify any issues that may arise.

Don't find yourself caught off-guard when winter arrives. By getting a battery check at Garage 135, save yourself both time and money, whilst also avoiding any unnecessary trouble, simply drop in to Garage 135 or fill out our online booking form to schedule your car battery check right away.

Battery Check Up - Prepare your vehicle for the cold weather | Camden Park

In Australia, like many places around the world, car enthusiasts are always looking for ways to boost their vehicle's performance. Whether it's for better handling, increased speed, or improved fuel efficiency, there's a plethora of aftermarket parts to meet those needs. 

Here are five of the most popular bolt-on parts that Australians use to enhance their cars' performance:

1. **Cold Air Intake System** - This is a favourite starting point for many enthusiasts. Replacing the factory air intake system with a cold air intake can improve horsepower and torque. It works by pulling in cooler air from outside the engine bay, which is denser and contains more oxygen, allowing for more efficient combustion.

2. **Exhaust Systems** - Upgrading to a high-performance exhaust system can significantly improve a car's performance. Not only does it enhance the vehicle's sound, making it deeper and more aggressive, but it also increases exhaust flow and reduces back pressure. This results in increased horsepower and torque. Stainless steel systems are particularly popular due to their durability and corrosion resistance.

3. **Performance Chips and Engine Tuners** - These devices can modify the vehicle's electronic control unit (ECU) settings to increase power, torque, and sometimes even fuel efficiency. Depending on the vehicle, gains can be quite substantial. They're a favourite among enthusiasts for the significant impact they can have with relatively minimal effort.

4. **Turbochargers and Superchargers** - Both of these add-ons force more air into the combustion chamber, increasing power significantly. Turbochargers do this by utilising the engine's exhaust gases, while superchargers are driven mechanically by a belt attached to the engine. These modifications are more involved and expensive but can dramatically increase a vehicle's performance.

5. **Suspension Upgrades** - While not directly enhancing engine performance, upgrading the suspension components such as shock absorbers, struts, and sway bars can significantly improve a car's handling, responsiveness, and stability at high speeds. This is a popular upgrade for those looking to improve the overall driving experience, especially in performance or track driving contexts.

Each of these upgrades can make a significant difference in a vehicle's performance. However, it's important to remember that modifications can affect your car's warranty, insurance, and legality on public roads. Always ensure that any modifications comply with Australian Design Rules (ADRs) and are properly installed by a professional.
