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 Uphill Automotive in Tamworth 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 Uphill Automotive in Tamworth 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.

Taking a spontaneous road trip can be one of life’s great pleasures, but the enjoyment hinges on one crucial aspect - the reliability and safety of your vehicle. Regular car service is not just a recommendation; it's a necessity for ensuring your car is always road-trip ready, even at the drop of a hat. Let’s delve into why vehicle service should be a regular part of your car care routine and how it supports the safety and condition of vehicles for holiday driving.

Make Every Journey Safe and Worry Less with Regular Car Service

Routine car service is the backbone of automotive care. It’s the preventative measure that catches small issues before they become big, costly problems. Especially for those who love hitting the road on a whim, knowing that your vehicle has been professionally checked and maintained can significantly reduce the worry that comes with long journeys. The peace of mind knowing your car is in tip-top shape allows you to focus on the adventure ahead rather than potential car troubles.

At the heart of reliable car servicing are experienced technicians equipped with state-of-the-art tools. These professionals carry out a range of mechanical tasks during a regular service. They ensure everything from your engine's performance to your air conditioning system operates efficiently and safely. They check the essentials - oil and filter changes, brake inspections, tyre pressure, and fluid levels - and also delve into the vehicle's diagnostics to preempt any electrical or mechanical issues that could impede your journey.

A regular service also includes thorough inspections to verify that each component of your vehicle is functioning correctly. It's crucial for those planning to traverse different terrains, particularly in 4WD or SUVs. The thorough checks and balances ensure that every adventure, be it off-road or on the highway, is conducted with utmost safety.

Apart from the mechanical advantages, regular car servicing ensures your comfort through fully operational systems like air conditioning, which doubles as a safety feature by keeping your windows demisted and improving visibility. Ensuring your vehicle’s electrical systems are functioning correctly is another key aspect of service that enhances both the driving experience and safety on the road

Systematic brake maintenance -  Ensure Your Safety: 
The brake system, being vital for safety, requires regular checks and maintenance. With routine servicing, wear and tear are minimized, and you're less likely to face unexpected brake-related issues, ensuring a safer journey.

Air conditioning system kept in good order -  Comfort is Key: 
A functional air conditioning system is essential for a comfortable trip, especially in extreme weather. Regular servicing ensures your system won't let you down when you need it most. 

Regular inspection of suspension and steering -  Smooth Sailing: 
Effective suspension and steering systems are crucial for control and maneuverability. Regular checks can prevent major breakdowns and ensure a comfortable ride, making every road trip enjoyable.

Checking and Changing Engine Oil Regularly - Keep Your Engine Happy: 
Engine oil is the lifeblood of your vehicle. Changing it as part of regular servicing keeps your engine running smoothly, preventing overheating and potential damage. 

Systematic battery inspection - Avoid Unexpected Delays: 
Routine battery checks can prevent being stranded due to a dead battery. A simple check can ensure your vehicle starts every time, keeping your trip on schedule.

Disciplined tyre maintenance - Maximise Safety and Efficiency: 
Well-maintained tyres are essential for a smooth ride and fuel efficiency. Regular checks allow for early detection of issues, ensuring your safety and saving you money.

Methodical inspection of electrical system - Keep Everything Running: 
The electrical system affects many aspects of your car's performance. Regular inspections ensure everything from your lights to control functions works as it should.

Consistent Fluid and Filter Replacement - Essential for Vehicle Health: 
Fluids and filters play a crucial role in your car's performance. Regular replacements keep everything running smoothly and prevent costly repairs down the line.

Vehicle Efficiency through Regular Service - Minimise Pit Stops: 
Regular servicing can improve your vehicle's efficiency, reducing the need for frequent stops and ensuring a smoother, faster journey.

Being Proactive Saves Time and Worry - Plan Ahead: 
Regular servicing might seem like a chore, but it's a vital step in road trip preparation. Being proactive saves you time, money, and stress, letting you focus on the adventure ahead.

Peace of Mind through Regular Service - Reliable Rides: 
Knowing your car has been professionally serviced means you can trust it to get you to your destination without issues. It's the ultimate peace of mind for any road tripper.

Uphill Automotive in Tamworth can perform a range of radiator repairs on most vehicles, including:

 Car engine cooling system failures rank among the top three causes of roadside breakdowns in Australia, with radiator failures accounting for a large percentage of these.

A fully functional radiator and cooling system is essential in preventing overheating, which can cause expensive breakdowns and may result in serious engine damage. Modern engines also operate more efficiently within specific temperature ranges.

Not all cooling system failures are explosive in nature; in most cases it's a slow process that may start with you noticing puddles under the car or having to top off the coolant level regularly. These are often signs your radiator may be leaking.

The temperature gauge may indicate a high coolant temperature in slow traffic but returns to normal during high speed driving. In some cases, you may notice a sweetish, “hot water” smell coming from the engine, or even notice actual steam coming from under the bonnet. All these symptoms are serious and should not be ignored. 

All Repco Authorised Service centres employ highly trained technicians who are qualified to spot and correct problems which not only affect radiators, but all parts and components of modern engine cooling systems.

When you have your cooling system inspected at a Repco Authorised Service centre, you gain the peace of mind that comes with knowing your vehicle's cooling system is up to the task of keeping your engine running at optimal temperatures.

Below are some commonly asked questions about radiators and cooling systems. 

Why are there black flecks in the coolant?

What happens if I don't replace my leaking radiator?

What is a radiator flush and do I need one?
