Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. De Jonge Mechanical Repairs in Albany are very knowledgeable and experienced in looking after these systems.  It is recommended that you exchange your radiator coolant fluid every two years or 40,000 km's whichever comes first. However the size of the engine, the climate in your area, the age of your current coolant, and the total miles that have been driven can all affect the need to replace the coolant in your radiator. Knowing when to replenish your radiator fluid isn't always easy - obviously, when it has gone a dirty brown colour it's a sign it probably needs to be flushed and replaced - however even fresh-looking coolant could have lost its corrosion protection properties and without measuring its reserve alkalinity there's no signal that it is no longer protecting your vehicle components, and it could even be doing more damage than good. Maintaining good coolant means your radiator system will be much better protected from corrosion and will have a longer life span, it will help prevent you from having to replace expensive engine components. At De Jonge Mechanical Repairs in Albany at your request, we will perform a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection report for free as part of any minor, major or log book service. Part of this inspection includes checking the level and condition of coolant in your system and the written report will advise you if we feel a radiator flush, fluid replacement or any repairs are required to maintain the performance of your vehicle.

Even if it looks clean, your coolant still might need replacing!

Faulty and low charge batteries are to be avoided. Don't wait till you're stranded somewhere on the side of the road, hoping for a jump start. It is easy to have your car, bike, truck battery tested or charged up at De Jonge Mechanical Repairs in Albany.  Often issues occur because we have all reduced how much we drive or decided to only rely on one car (as petrol prices skyrocket!) and have left the other in the garage. But did you know that batteries can still discharge even when your car isn't in use? - ask De Jonge Mechanical Repairs about a battery test today!  Our technicians do a battery load test as part of the 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report that comes free with every car service. If you have concerns, we can do a stand-alone battery test and inspection right here in Albany. Car Battery FAQ How do I know if my battery is getting flat or low? The most obvious sign of a flat battery is when your car won't start, but modern motor vehicles can show symptoms like non-essential functions not operating correctly - things like idle stop-start function not working, or the car's air-conditioning not working effectively.
Other signs you might need a new car battery include: Vehicle is slow to start Engine won't start Dash Lights work, but engine won't start Constantly needing a jump start Film or corrosion on the battery Cracked swollen or leaky battery Rotten egg smell under the hood 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 {{{businessName}}} Does a flat battery use more fuel? Yes! When your car battery is running flat, the alternator works harder to recharge the battery. This added load on the engine means it burns more fuel. Where can I buy a new car battery? Come in and see us! As a Repco Authorised Service Centre, {{{businessName}}} have access to the highest quality batteries to suit most vehicles. Who can test my car battery? {{{businessName}}} can do a battery load test. Phone us or visit the workshop today. Why choose {{{businessName}}} 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 {{{businessName}}} rather than at a parts store. That's 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 actually lies elsewhere… except maybe being told your battery test is fine with no explanation for your ongoing issues! 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 the professionals like our team at {{{businessName}}} about this, as you could void the battery warranty by recharging it yourself. Sometimes external recharging is not the best option because every battery eventually reaches a point in its life where replacement is the only answer to avoid unexpected breakdowns. Can I fit my battery myself? The short answer is yes...But! Modern vehicles are “computers on wheels”, so if you decide to DIY you must follow proper installation procedures to avoid damaging the ECM (Engine Control Module) and TCM (Transmission Control Module). Plus, if the battery gets incorrectly installed, items like the radio, the navigation system and security codes may need to be professionally reset. Talk to {{{businessName}}} today. We can recommend the right battery for your needs and install it for you. 

Ever replaced your battery only to find your car problem wasn't fixed? Don't be left feeling flat, get your battery tested at a full service workshop.

Car Battery Testing and FAQ 

The Importance of Regular Diesel Service in Albany Diesel vehicles have earned a stellar reputation for their efficiency, durability, and cost-effectiveness, especially in Albany. Diesel engines are often seen as the workhorses of the automotive world, capable of delivering exceptional performance in a variety of settings. However, to maintain these benefits, regular diesel service is not just recommended—it’s essential. De Jonge Mechanical Repairs understands this necessity and provides top-notch diesel engine servicing and repairs to keep your vehicle running at its best.﻿ Why Diesel Engines Require Regular Service﻿ A diesel engine, while robust, is a complex piece of machinery that demands regular attention to continue operating efficiently. Here's why regular diesel servicing is indispensable:﻿ Optimising Fuel Efficiency: 
One of the primary advantages of diesel engines is their superior fuel efficiency. Regular servicing ensures that all components, such as fuel injectors and filters, are clean and functioning correctly. This optimisation not only saves you money at the pump but also ensures your vehicle runs smoothly.﻿ Environmental Impact: 
Diesel engines have a smaller carbon footprint compared to their petrol counterparts, but this advantage can diminish if the engine is not properly maintained. Regular servicing, including EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) and carbon cleaning, keeps harmful emissions in check, thus contributing to a cleaner environment.﻿ Preventing Major Repairs: 
Routine check-ups can catch minor issues before they escalate into significant problems. Preventative maintenance by qualified technicians at De Jonge Mechanical Repairs can save you from costly repairs down the line.﻿ Extending Engine Life: 
A well-maintained diesel engine can outlast a petrol engine. Regular servicing ensures that all moving parts are lubricated and functioning correctly, which significantly extends the engine's lifespan.﻿ Ensuring Safety: 
A diesel engine that is not regularly serviced can become a safety hazard. Faulty fuel injectors, clogged filters, and other issues can lead to breakdowns or accidents. Regular maintenance ensures that your vehicle is safe to drive.﻿ Key Components of Diesel Service﻿ To appreciate the importance of regular diesel service, it helps to understand what such a service entails. The technicians at De Jonge Mechanical Repairs follow a comprehensive approach to diesel vehicle maintenance, including:﻿ Fuel System Cleaning: 
The fuel system is crucial for the optimal performance of a diesel engine. Over time, contaminants can build up in the fuel injectors, reducing efficiency. Regular cleaning of the fuel system ensures that it operates at peak performance.﻿ Oil and Filter Changes: 
Diesel engines require high-quality oil to function correctly. Regular oil and filter changes are vital to remove contaminants and ensure that the engine remains well-lubricated.﻿ EGR and Carbon Cleaning: 
The EGR system recirculates a portion of the engine's exhaust back to the engine cylinders, reducing emissions. Over time, this system can become clogged with carbon deposits. Regular EGR and carbon cleaning help maintain engine performance and reduce harmful emissions.﻿ Inspection of Belts and Hoses: 
Belts and hoses are essential components that need regular inspection. Any signs of wear or damage should be addressed immediately to avoid unexpected breakdowns.﻿ Battery and Electrical System Checks: 
Diesel engines often have more complex electrical systems than petrol engines. Regular checks ensure that the battery and all electrical components are functioning correctly.﻿ Exhaust System Maintenance: 
The exhaust system plays a crucial role in managing emissions and ensuring the engine runs smoothly. Regular inspections can prevent issues like blockages and leaks.
