As the temperatures start to drop in Toronto, NSW, it's more important than ever to make sure your car battery is up to the challenge. A dead battery is not just inconvenient; it can leave you stranded in less-than-ideal conditions. Fortunately, with the right preparation and regular car servicing from Round Men Automotive, you can drive with confidence this winter.

Don't Get Left Out in the Cold: Avoid a Dead Battery

When winter rolls around, the colder temperatures can have a significant impact on your car battery’s performance. Batteries are designed to work best in moderate temperatures, but as the mercury drops, so does the efficiency of your battery. Cold weather thickens the engine oil, making the engine harder to turn over, which requires more power from the battery. Additionally, the chemical reactions within the battery slow down, reducing its ability to hold a charge.

To ensure your car is ready for the rigours of winter driving, regular servicing is crucial. At Round Men Automotive, we offer comprehensive car servicing and automotive repairs to keep your vehicle in top shape. Regular servicing not only helps in maintaining your car’s overall health but also allows us to catch potential issues, such as a weakening battery, before they turn into bigger problems.

When you bring your car to Round Men Automotive for a winter service, we go beyond just changing the oil and checking the fluids. Our team of experienced mechanics will conduct a thorough inspection of your battery, among other critical components. Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect:

Battery Load Testing: We use specialised equipment to test your battery's ability to hold a charge and deliver power. This helps us identify any weak or failing batteries before they leave you stranded.

Electrical System Check: We ensure that your alternator and starter are functioning correctly, as these systems play a key role in battery performance.

Terminal Cleaning: Corroded battery terminals can hinder the flow of electricity. We clean and treat your battery terminals to ensure optimal performance.

Fluid Levels: We check all essential fluids, including antifreeze, which is crucial for winter driving.

If your car battery is three years old or older, it's time to start paying extra attention to it. Batteries naturally degrade over time, and their performance diminishes as they age. Regular battery testing is essential to ensure that your battery can still handle the demands of winter driving. At Round Men Automotive, we recommend having your battery tested at least twice a year – before winter and before summer.

If you are every in doubt about your battery, drop in to our Toronto workshop and we will hook up our Battery Tester. Should your battery need replacing we stock a great range of popular Century Batteries to suit most makes and models.

Did you know there is a cabin air filter in your car? Where is your cabin air filter? They are designed to remove a large amount of outside air pollutants and debris to keep you breathing easily when you drive.  And it is usually located in your glovebox. Talk to Round Men Automotive in Toronto today about your cabin air filter !

Just like your air-conditioning at home, the filters need to be checked at regular intervals and changed when it has done it's job. Replacing your cabin air filter is important to your health and your cars health too!

The air outside your car can be polluted enough with smoggy city traffic or even dusty country roads, but research published in the Environmental Health Perspectives Journal shows that without an effective cabin air filter installed, the air inside your car can contain over 10 times more pollutants than the air outside.
This poor quality air can cause:

"Cabin air filters are designed to filter out contaminants while  absorbing noxious odours and harmful gases like exhaust and ozone,"  explained Ryco Filters General Manager of Sales & Marketing, Ross Lamb. Cabin air filters become clogged over time and their effectiveness at protecting your health declines. 

If you drive ‘Mum's Taxi', you might feel like you are always on the move - and a recent study into driving habits confirmed that parents with children aged 6-15 drive approximately 10% more than drivers without kids. And, the longer you spend in a vehicle with a Cabin Air Filter that needs replacing, the more you are at risk of health complications. 

As well as healthier air - an effective cabin air filter means you get better fuel performance from your vehicle. A clogged cabin air filter will cause your air conditioner to work harder than it needs to and this means it uses more fuel and your air conditioning system is more likely to have a costly breakdown.

At Round Men Automotive in Toronto we check your cabin air filter as part of our free 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report which you can request with every full car service.
For a more comprehensive check of your air condition system we recommend an air conditioning service.

Cabin air filter replacement is not only important to your car's health - it affects yours too.

If your air conditioning system begins to lose refrigerant due to evaporation or leaks, it will start to break down and be required to exert more effort. Consequently, this will lead to a higher consumption of fuel.

Hence, it is crucial to regularly inspect the status of the rubber seals for any leakage indications or problems that could suggest a refrigerant loss. We will fully remove all of the old gas, conduct a leak test and replenish the gas as per the proper protocol.

Having your car's air conditioning serviced every 12 months means you can assist prevention of costly breakdowns now and in the future, keep passengers safe by helping to prevent the build-up of potentially harmful substances and a well serviced automotive air conditioner system actually saves you money because it lowers your fuel consumption.
