How Regular Car Servicing Prepares Your Vehicle for Christmas Holidays

As the Christmas holidays approach, many of us in Korumburra are planning road trips to visit family and friends or enjoy a much-needed getaway. While the festive season brings joy and excitement, it also comes with the challenge of ensuring your vehicle is ready for the journey ahead. Booking your car in for a service at JB Automotive Repairs is crucial to prevent any unwanted surprises on the road.

During the lead-up to Christmas, many workshops in Korumburra become extremely busy. In fact, most will close over the Christmas period, leaving limited opportunities to have your car serviced. That's why it's essential to book early with JB Automotive Repairs. This not only ensures your vehicle gets the attention it needs but also helps you avoid the last-minute rush that can lead to scheduling conflicts or delays.

Regular car servicing involves a series of routine maintenance tasks that keep your vehicle in top condition. At JB Automotive Repairs, our experienced technicians conduct comprehensive checks to ensure safety and reliability, especially for those planning long trips. Here are some key aspects of a regular car service:

1. Oil and Filter Change: 
Fresh oil and a new filter keep your engine running smoothly and efficiently. This reduces wear and tear, improving your car's performance and extending its lifespan.

2. Brake Inspection: 
Safety is paramount, especially when driving during the busy holiday season. Our technicians inspect your brakes, ensuring they function properly to provide peace of mind.

3. Tyre Check and Rotation: 
Tyres are checked for wear and properly inflated to optimise fuel efficiency and handling. Rotating tyres helps ensure even wear, prolonging their life.

4. Battery Test: 
A reliable battery is crucial for starting your car, particularly during the hot summer months. We'll test and

5. Fluid Levels: 
From coolant to windshield washer fluid, maintaining proper fluid levels is vital for your car's operation. We'll top off any that are low and replace those that are degraded.

If you're planning to tow a caravan or trailer, it's essential to ensure that your vehicle is up to the job of hauling all that extra weight. Regular servicing helps identify and address any issues that could lead to breakdowns, potentially ruining your holiday plans. A well serviced vehicle will also tend to use significantly less fuel, important if you plan to pull the weight of a caravan, boat or fully loaded trailer

Brake fluid transfers the pressure you put on the brake pedal through to the actual brakes.
Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work. As everyone knows - not having brakes is a huge problem! In fact even slightly affected brakes are very dangerous.


Brake fluid absorbs moisture very easily. Brake fluids are also subject to very high temperatures and so they are designed to have a high boiling point to stop them from boiling and evaporating- when brake fluid has accumulated too much moisture- this lowers its boiling point and it can boil off more easily causing low levels. Low levels of brake fluid affect your braking performance and could mean your car will fail to stop.
Brake Fluid that has absorbed too much moisture will also shorten the life of your braking system including damaging the callipers, wheel cylinders and anti-lock braking systems.

Why is brake fluid replacement necessary?

Your manufacturer's log book will advise how regularly your brake fluid should be changed or flushed, we recommend a drain and replacement every two years however it is wise to have it regularly checked by an expert at every service to make sure the levels are not reducing too fast (a sign of a leak) or that the moisture levels have not reached a point that could be damaging your system.

How often should I replace my brake fluid?

At JB Automotive Repairs we offer a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report, upon request, with every full car service which includes a written review of your brake fluid, master cylinder, front and back discs and pads, callipers and cylinders and more. This inspection helps to identify any issues in your vehicle which should be addressed and our mechanics will certainly advise you if they feel your vehicle might need a brake fluid replacement, or an out of schedule brake system service or repairs.

Do you check the brake fluids during a car service?

Without the brake fluid your brakes quite simply would not work.
