Unroadworthy tyres are unsafe, illegal and basically cost you money Woodward's Auto Repairs are the professionals in Wangaratta when it comes to the supply, fitting, repair and maintenance of tyres for a range of vehicle types. You should have your tyres checked by a professional on a regular basis to ensure the safety, comfort and reliability of your vehicle in addition to the life span of your tyres. Tyres play a vital role in the safety and stopping power of your car, they are not just about a comfortable ride. Their main role being to keep your car in contact with the road and provide the traction to both move the car forwards and to stop safely when you need to. Stop and think about it... The braking system simply cannot be expected to work to its maximum performance if the tyres are worn or otherwise unsuitable for the car or type of driving you undertake. You should always ensure that your tyres and wheels are in good condition and set up correctly to help maximise your vehicle's braking performance If you are experiencing unusual vibrations, poor handling of the vehicle, have problems keeping tyres at the correct pressure, have low tyre tread or can see obvious damage to your tyres, you should probably have your tyres checked by experts such as the service team from Woodward's Auto Repairs. Regular car servicing can keep your car in good condition and having the tyres checked by a qualified mechanic at the same time can help you be aware of the condition of your tyres and alert you to any potential problems. Your Woodward's Auto Repairs mechanic can also let you know if your car could do with relatively low cost solutions that can greatly improve your driving experience as well as overall vehicle safety, such as a wheel alignment or wheel balancing. Tyres eventually wear out, an unavoidable process quickened by hard braking and regular high speed driving, as well as uneven road surfaces. Unless there are problems causing uneven tyre wear or bald spots or there is other significant damage, the depth of the tread on the tyre is usually the best indicator your tyres are due for replacement.  Although the legal minimum tread depth varies, a good rule of thumb is when tread depth is approaching 1.6mm you should talk to your Woodward's Auto Repairs mechanic about buying new tyres. Tread very carefully... Tread on a tyre is very important as this is where you get the traction to both move the car forwards and also the friction required to stop safely and efficiently. Tread is also the method by which water is dispersed away from the tyre surface in a manner which prevents aquaplaning and maintains maximum grip and control. The less tread depth you have, the less control you will have in wet driving conditions. It's all about finding the right balance... New tyres, a wheel alignment and wheel balancing go hand in hand to ensure good handling and maximising the expected lifespan of your new tyres. Woodward's Auto Repairs are experts at inspecting and maintaining tyres and related components and can give you good advice on purchasing the correct tyres for your car and also offer wheel aligning and wheel balancing services to help you look after your tyres. So if you need new tyres, tyre repairs, a wheel balance or wheel alignment or even just a simple bit of wheel related advice, perhaps it is time to pop in to our Wangaratta workshop for some expert advice.

Given that their main role is keeping your car in contact with the road, tyres play a vital role in the stopping power of your car. Woodward's Auto Repairs are tyre & wheel professionals…

What are your tyres costing you?

A Guide to Car Battery Care and Solutions in Wangaratta Car batteries are the silent powerhouses behind our daily commutes and weekend getaways, but their importance often goes unnoticed until something goes wrong. Regular car servicing is key to preventing battery issues and ensuring your vehicle runs smoothly, especially in places like Wangaratta, Victoria, where varied weather conditions can put additional stress on your car's battery. Do I need a new car battery? The most obvious sign of a flat battery is when your car won't start. Modern motor vehicles can show symptoms like the idle stop-start not working or the car's air-conditioning not working to full capacity. Other signs include cracked, dirty or leaky batteries, a rotten egg smell under the hood of your car, or regularly needing a jump start or recharge. The best way to know if you need a new battery is to get a car battery test at Woodward's Auto Repairs. Why Regular Car Service is Essential for Battery Health Regular car service is crucial to maintaining your vehicle's health, including your battery. During a routine service, mechanics check the battery's charge level, clean the terminals, and ensure it's securely mounted. These checks help prevent common battery issues and can extend the life of your battery. Consistent servicing helps avoid unexpected breakdowns, saving you time and money in the long run. Cold Weather and Battery Performance In Wangaratta, cold winter mornings can spell trouble for your car battery. Cold temperatures slow down the chemical reactions inside the battery, reducing its ability to hold a charge. This is why your car might struggle to start on a chilly morning. If you're experiencing sluggish starts or dimming headlights, it might be time to get your battery checked. Other Factors Affecting Battery Performance Apart from the cold, several other factors can affect your battery's performance: Short Trips: Frequent short trips prevent your battery from fully charging, reducing its lifespan Electronic Accessories: Devices like phone chargers and GPS systems can drain your battery when the engine isn't running Age of the Battery: Most car batteries last 3-5 years. If yours is older, it might be time for a replacement. Does a flat battery use more fuel? A flat or weak battery can indirectly lead to higher fuel consumption. If your battery is struggling, the alternator has to work harder to charge it, which can increase engine load and fuel usage. Keeping your battery in good condition helps your car run efficiently, saving you money at the pump. Where can I buy a new car battery? If you're in Wangaratta and need a new car battery, you have several options. Local auto parts stores and service centres like Woodward's Auto Repairs offer a range of batteries suited to your vehicle's needs. It's always a good idea to choose a battery with a warranty for peace of mind. Who can test my car battery? Most auto service centres, including Woodward's Auto Repairs, offer battery testing services. A professional test will assess your battery's health, helping you avoid unexpected breakdowns. Regular testing, especially before winter, ensures your battery is ready for the season's demands. Why choose Woodward's Auto Repairs for a battery test? If you have concerns about your vehicle's performance, it is wise to get your battery tested at a full service workshop like Woodward's Auto Repairs - rather than a parts store - because we take into consideration the whole vehicle and can diagnose any deeper issues. There is nothing worse than replacing your car battery - only to find the problem lies elsewhere… except maybe being told your battery test is fine with no explanation for your ongoing issues! At Woodward's Auto Repairs, we pride ourselves on providing comprehensive battery testing and replacement services. Our experienced technicians use the latest diagnostic tools to ensure your battery is in top condition. We offer a wide range of quality batteries, expert advice, and competitive pricing, making us the go-to choice for battery care in Wangaratta. Can my car battery be recharged? Yes, in fact the battery is being recharged by the alternator in your car whenever the engine is running. Sometimes this fix isn't enough, and your battery requires an external recharge. It's best to ask a professional about this, as you could void the battery warranty by recharging it yourself. There may come a point where external recharging is not the best option either because every battery eventually reaches a point in its life where replacement is the only answer to avoid unexpected breakdowns. if your battery frequently goes flat, it might be a sign of a more significant issue, such as a failing alternator or parasitic drain. It's best to have a professional diagnose the problem to prevent further damage. Can I fit my battery myself? The short answer is yes. But modern vehicles are “computers on wheels”, so you must follow proper installation procedures to avoid damaging the ECM (Engine Control Module) and TCM (Transmission Control Module). If you're not confident in your skills, it's best to let professionals handle it to avoid damaging the battery or your vehicle. Improper installation can lead to short circuits or void the battery's warranty. Plus, if the battery gets incorrectly installed, items like the radio, the navigation system and security codes may need to be professionally reset. Car batteries are vital to your vehicle's performance, and regular servicing ensures they remain in optimal condition. In Wangaratta, where weather conditions can be challenging, staying proactive about battery care can save you from inconvenient and costly issues. Whether you need a new battery, a test, or expert advice, Woodward's Auto Repairs is here to help keep you on the road with confidence... Want even more information about Car Batteries? Click here.
