There’s nothing like a frosty Richmond morning to show up a tired car battery. If your engine’s taking longer to kick over—or not starting at all—your battery might be on its way out. At J & F Motors, we know how frustrating a flat battery can be, especially when you're rushing to work, uni, or the market. That’s why we offer quick, reliable battery checks and replacements right here in Richmond, so you’re never left stranded. Why Batteries Struggle in Melbourne’s Winter Even in the city, cold mornings can cause real problems for your battery. When temperatures drop, the chemical reactions inside your battery slow down—meaning it has less power to get your engine started. Add in all the power demands from lights, heaters, and windscreen wipers, and a weak battery can quickly give up. If your battery’s a few years old or already weakened by heat and stop-start city traffic, winter is when it’s most likely to fail. Signs Your Battery Might Be Fading Not sure if your battery is up to the task? Look out for these common warning signs: Engine is slow to crank or struggles to start Dim or flickering headlights, especially when idling Battery or engine warning lights on the dash Power windows, stereo or central locking acting up Needed a jump-start recently Harder starts on cold mornings Battery is 3 years old or more When you come in for a battery check, here’s what you can expect Fast voltage and load testing with accurate results, Inspection of battery terminals and cable condition and friendly, no-nonsense advice—if your battery’s fine, we’ll tell you. If a replacement is needed, we’ll fit a quality battery that suits your car and your driving needs. We stock reliable, long-lasting batteries and get the job done quickly so you can get on with your day. So, whether you’re navigating peak-hour traffic or heading out of town for the weekend, make sure your car’s ready to start—every time. Drop in to J & F Motors in Richmond, book online or call to book your battery test today.

Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.

Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. J & F Motors in Richmond 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 J & F Motors in Richmond 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!
