Car Maintenance Tips for Wangaratta Drivers

The frosty mornings are behind us, the blossoms are out, and spring has finally arrived in North East Victoria. Just like you give your home a spring clean, your car also deserves a seasonal check-up.

1. Tyres: Grip, Safety & Fuel Efficiency

Wangaratta roads can be hard on tyres after a wet winter. Potholes, gravel roads, and changing temperatures all play their part.

2. Brake Safety Check

Brakes work overtime on wet, slippery winter roads. Listen for squeaks or grinding and watch out for longer stopping distances. At Woodward’s we check pads, rotors, brake lines and fluid to ensure you stop safely every time.

3. Fluids & Filters

Fresh fluids = a healthier engine. In spring, it’s smart to check:

4. Battery Health

Winter drains car batteries, and the first hot days of summer can finish off a weak one. We’ll test your battery and charging system so you don’t get caught out with a flat at the worst moment.

5. Air Conditioning & Comfort

You’ll soon be cranking the A/C again. A quick spring test now can save you from sweating through summer. We can re-gas, service and replace cabin filters so your system runs icy cold.

6. Wipers, Lights & Visibility

Longer daylight hours don’t mean you can ignore your lights. We’ll check all bulbs and replace wiper blades so you’re ready for spring showers and late-evening drives home from sport or markets.
