1. Engine Starting Trouble: The first reason you may need to test, recharge, or replace your car battery is due to difficulties when starting the engine. A faulty or old battery can cause a slow cranking of the engine during startup or the vehicle might not start at all. This can cause unnecessary hassle, especially when you are in a hurry or stranded somewhere.

2. Flickering or Dim Lights: Car lights and electronics get their power from the car battery. If you notice that the lights are flickering or not as bright as usual, this could be a sign of a weak or failing battery. A simple battery check could prevent an electrical system failure which can cause serious damages.

3. Old Battery: If the battery in your vehicle is over three years old, it may be best to have it checked, as they can start to fail at any time after this. Regular check ups prevent sudden battery breakdown which can lead to more serious mechanical issues.

Tom Leyden Tyre & Mechanical in Gracemere understands these needs and caters not just to conventional cars, but they also supply batteries for 4x4s, SUVs, ATV bikes, Lawn Mowers, Boats, Tractors, and even for Industrial use. 

The diverse range of battery options we have available makes us a convenient one-stop-shop for your battery needs, irrespective of the type of vehicle you have. Our expertise ensures that your battery is fitted properly, recharged accurately, or replaced with the perfect new one, extending the life of your vehicle.

Don't Let Your Car Overheat: Get Expert Diagnostics at Tom Leyden Tyre & Mechanical

Car overheating can be more than just a minor inconvenience. It can signify underlying issues that, if left unchecked, can lead to significant engine damage. A car's engine operates within a certain temperature range, and overheating suggests it's operating beyond its limits. This can cause engine components to warp, break, or fail altogether, potentially leading to costly repairs or even a complete engine replacement.

Why Addressing Car Overheating Is Critical

Our team understands the urgency of diagnosing and resolving car overheating issues. We have the expertise and state-of-the-art equipment necessary to quickly identify the source of the problem. Whether it’s a faulty thermostat, a clogged radiator, or something else causing your car to overheat, we’ve got you covered. 

How Tom Leyden Tyre & Mechanical Can Help

- Pressurising the Cooling System: By pressurising your car’s cooling system, we can effectively identify any leaks. A leak in the cooling system can lead to a loss of coolant, which is crucial for keeping the engine at an optimal temperature.

- Diagnosing the Root Cause: Our experienced technicians will thoroughly inspect your car to diagnose the exact cause of overheating. Understanding why your car is overheating is the first step in making the necessary repairs.

- Recommending the Right Repairs: Once we’ve identified the issue, we’ll recommend the best course of action to get your car back to running smoothly. We pride ourselves on offering transparent, honest advice, ensuring you're fully informed every step of the way.

Ignoring your car’s overheating issue can lead to more severe, more expensive problems down the line. If your car starts to overheat, it’s a clear sign that something isn’t working as it should. Addressing the problem sooner rather than later can save you a significant amount of stress and money.
