Drive Safe this Winter with a 65 Point Written Vehicle Inspection Report

Our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report is free with every service at Robo's MotorWorks in Rockhampton. Our qualified mechanics will visually check over the important components of your vehicle and provide you with a written report on the condition of your vehicle.

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

This could mean there are very different approaches to get your car ready for winter; however the fundamentals of safe winter motoring remain unchanged. So what can you do to make sure your car is set for safe winter motoring? 

Who hasn't had that moment when you turn on the wipers at the first spot of rain and remember that at the end of last season 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. Robo's MotorWorks can recommend a wiper blade or assembly that is right for your car.

Fluids and other parts in your car can be impacted by cold weather; such as coolants, oils and items such as glow plugs in diesel vehicles. It's important to get your vehicle regularly serviced by an expert who knows the correct parts and products for your particular vehicle make and model. We use high quality NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils and fluids that are designed for Australian conditions.  

Conditions change - and you need to adjust, as well. In wet weather or poor visibility, slow down 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 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report.

There are some tell-tale signs that your brakes need investigation, like vibrating, spongy or slow responding brake pedal, strange sounds or difficult handling when applying pressure to your brakes. If you notice any of these it's best to have a qualified mechanic check it out. Brake inspections form part of our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report, so if you have concerns call us today and book in.

Driving on worn tyres is dangerous. Now is the time to inspect your tyres. If your tyres are wearing unevenly, 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 ability to brake effectively. You can usually find manufacturers recommendations on a panel inside the driver side door.

Professional diagnostic and experienced mechanics will often direct your attention to things otherwise unnoticed, saving you costly repairs in case of breakdown. As a moving mechanical vehicle, your car has parts that wear down during normal using conditions - brakes, ball joints, wheel bearings, suspension etc. If suspicious items are not treated in a timely manner, further expluatation can deteriorate the car part from what could have been a simple and easy fix into a costly repair several times more expensive.

Acknowledging that vocational education prepares students for further training and employment, the Australian Vocational Student Prize promotes the value of gaining vocational skills while at school. Giving national recognition to achievements in vocational training completed in secondary education, the Australian Vocational Student Prize has been awarded to Robo's MotorWorks apprentice mechanic Ethan Brewster.

While still attending Year 11, Ethan joined the Rockhampton car service in 2010 as a light vehicle mechanical apprentice and has been repairing vehicles ever since. Ethan enjoys the opportunity of realising his childhood dream - getting to know what's inside a vehicle that makes it move. Today Ethan is thrilled to work on cars daily and fixing everything and anything mechanical.

Receiving national recognition for his hard work motivates Ethan even more on his mechanic journey as he is putting the $2000 prize towards further education. The Rockhampton car service workshop manager Peter Robinson is delighted in Ethans progress, as Ethan had shown great passion for the trade since day one and has only improved since.
