Regularly inspecting your car battery isn’t just a good practice; it’s essential. Ideally, you should have your car battery tested twice a year to ensure it’s functioning optimally. At Inner West Service Centre, we check your battery with every service and our skilled technicians perform thorough battery inspections to detect potential problems before they cause issues.

The Importance of Regular Car Battery Checks

Prevent Unplanned Breakdowns: Routine testing can reveal early signs of battery failure, allowing for timely replacements.

Ensure Optimal Performance: A well-maintained battery ensures all electrical components of your car work flawlessly.

Prolong Battery Life: Regular servicing can significantly extend the life of your battery, saving you money over time.

Top Reasons to Test Your Car Battery Regularly:

One often overlooked adversary of your car battery is cold weather. When temperatures drop, the chemical reactions within the battery slow down, decreasing its efficiency and capacity. This makes it harder for your battery to generate the necessary power to start your vehicle. At Inner West Service Centre, we understand how cold winters in Lewisham can be and recommend regular checks to ensure your battery is ready for winter.

The Effects of Cold Weather on Your Car Battery

Increased Resistance: Low temperatures increase the internal resistance of the battery, reducing its effectiveness.

Thicker Engine Oil: In cold weather, engine oil thickens, making it harder for the battery to turn the engine over.

Reduced Charge Capacity: Cold weather can diminish the battery’s charge capacity, making it more challenging to start your car.

As your car battery ages, its ability to hold a charge weakens. If your battery is older than three years, regular testing becomes even more crucial. Older batteries are more susceptible to failure, especially in extreme weather conditions. At Inner West Service Centre, we provide comprehensive testing for older batteries to ensure they are still reliable.

We stock a wide variety of battery types and sizes, catering to passenger vehicles, 4x4s, and light commercial vehicles. When you need a replacement, you can trust Inner West Service Centre to provide you with the best options available.

Expert Technicians: Our team of skilled professionals has extensive experience in battery servicing and replacement.

Customer-Focused Approach: We prioritise your convenience and satisfaction, offering free quick battery tests and competitive pricing.

Comprehensive Inventory: Our range of batteries ensures we have the perfect fit for your vehicle.

Local Knowledge: Based in Lewisham, we understand the unique challenges posed by the local climate and driving conditions.

Don’t wait until you’re stuck with a dead battery. Regular servicing and timely replacements are crucial for a hassle-free driving experience. Visit Inner West Service Centre in Lewisham today for a free battery test. Your car will be grateful, and you’ll enjoy peace of mind.

Why You Should Opt For Pre-Purchase Inspections For Used Cars At Inner West Service Centre

To comply with New South Wales regulations for registration renewal, vehicles over five years old must undergo a safety inspection, formerly known as a Pink Slip Inspection and now referred to as an eSafety Check. This inspection verifies that the vehicle is safe to operate on the road and meets NSW safety standards. As part of the registration renewal process, a report is issued after the inspection, which is now electronically sent to the RTA by Inner West Service Centre.

Inner West Service Centre, an Authorised Inspection Station, regularly undertake eSafety Check inspections on cars and light commercial vehicles under 4.5 tonnes (tare) in and around the Lewisham area.

Why choose Inner West Service Centre for my eSafety Check?

All work carried out by Inner West Service Centre is backed by the Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty at over 450 locations Australia wide. You can rest assured that if you choose to have Inner West Service Centre conduct the needed repairs all work will meet RMS requirements.

Following a successful Pink Slip / eSafetyCheck inspection, Inner West Service Centre will forward your Light Vehicle Safety Check Inspection Report electronically to Roads & Maritime Services.

Should your vehicle happen to fail a Pink Slip / eSafety Check Inspection, Inner West Service Centre will prepare a 'repairs needed report'. You can then request Inner West Service Centre to undertake the required repairs or take it to a mechanic of your choosing to have them carried out, but they must be undertaken within 14 days, before the report expires.

Once repairs have been carried out, either by Inner West Service Centre or the workshop you chose for repairs, you'll need to have another eSafety check.

If you return the vehicle to Inner West Service Centre within 14 days for the 2nd eSafety Check, no additional fees will apply to have it rechecked. You are of course free to take the vehicle to any eSafety Check station, but this will result in you being charged a new eSafety Check fee by the mechanic conducting the vehicle inspection.
