Did you realise there is a filter in the cabin of your vehicle that filters the air you breathe? Many of these filters go untouched for years. They are designed to remove dust, pollen and smells from your car. When you fail to clean and replace your cabin filter at regular intervals this means you are breathing dirty contaminated air. Also other debris is accumulating on the filters, such as tree debris (leaves and seeds), animal droppings (particularly, rat droppings). With the addition of moisture, it creates a breeding ground for mould - which you breathe in, when driving your car. If something doesn't smell right in your car, ask your mechanic to check your cabin air filter. Call us now or book a service online!

Did you ever stop to think that within the very cabin of your car, there exists a device specifically designed to purify the air you breathe? This often-overlooked component works tirelessly, ensuring that the air circulating within the interior of your vehicle is as clean and fresh as possible...

If you’ve found your way here, it's likely that you have some curiosity about your vehicle's EFI system and its upkeep.  No need to fear, this article will provide you with valuable information to answer your queries about the mysterious Electronic Fuel Injection system. Let's buckle up and drive straight into the topic!﻿ The magic word is EFI - but what does it mean? In layman’s terms, an Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system is like the kitchen of your car's engine. It is responsible for providing the right mix of air and fuel for the engine to function correctly. This marvel of modern automotive engineering replaced the traditional carburetor and dramatically improved the efficiency and performance of engines.﻿ At its core, the EFI system utilises a group of sensors and an onboard computer, often known as an Electronic Control Unit (ECU), to ensure that the engine gets an optimum air-fuel mixture. It continuously adjusts the quantity and timing of the fuel sprayed into the engine, based on various factors like temperature, speed, and load.﻿ Just as you would regularly clean and service your kitchen appliances to ensure they're performing their best, your car’s EFI system also needs consistent maintenance. Ignoring the signs of an ailing EFI can lead to less fuel efficiency, causing backfires, or unstable idling, which may just be your vehicle whispering that it's time for a tune-up.﻿ Here are some of the red flags your EFI system might raise:﻿ Reduced fuel efficiency: This could mean the EFI system is not managing the fuel properly.﻿ Backfiring: This happens when unused fuel is ejected through the exhaust system. ﻿Erratic idling: Your EFI might be struggling to supply the engine with a proper mixture of air and fuel.﻿ But, what does an EFI service include, you ask? Well, a standard EFI service might encompass checking the ECU, inspecting sensors and fuel injectors, cleaning the throttle body, replacing fuel filters, and making necessary adjustments to keep your engine humming like a well-oiled machine.﻿ Remember, servicing your EFI system isn't just about fixing problems – it’s about prevention. Regular maintenance will ensure you get the best possible performance and longevity out of your car.﻿ Ensuring that your EFI system is working optimally is crucial to keeping your vehicle performing its best. With some careful observation and regular maintenance, you can keep your car running as smooth as a sunny ride on Australia's picturesque Great Ocean Road. So ask yourself - is your EFI delivering the goods? If you're unsure, it might just be time to book a service appointment.﻿ Stay curious and keep exploring! Your car will thank you.

Learn about the intricacies of EFI systems, understand common issues that can arise, and discover effective solutions to troubleshoot and resolve any problems you might encounter. With clear instructions and expert recommendations, this guide is an essential resource for anyone looking to improve their car’s fuel efficiency and overall performance...

Easter Driving Tips: Get Ahead of the Rush in Berry Springs Easter is almost here, and you know what that means. Plenty of people hitting the road for the long weekend getaway or just cruising around flicking a line in the water, hoping to catch that barra.… But here’s the thing: Every year, right before Easter, car service workshops get absolutely packed.

So, our golden tip is—book your car service early at Berry Springs Mechanical.
Seriously, don’t leave it till the last minute. Easter might still be a little while away, but those spots fill up fast. Having a car that’s been properly checked and serviced will give you peace of mind and keep you rolling smoothly. Why Regular Servicing Is a Big Deal Car servicing isn’t just about ticking a box. It’s about keeping your ride safe, reliable, and ready for anything. Whether you’re going on a road trip or just sticking close to home, regular servicing helps catch small issues before they become big, expensive problems. Imagine being halfway through a trip and your brakes start acting up, or worse, your car just refuses to start—yeah, not fun. During a regular service, a good mechanic will check things like: Brakes and clutch: Safety first, always. Brakes need to work perfectly, especially if you’re driving with a car full of family or friends Oil and filters: These keep your engine running smoothly. Old, dirty oil can do some real damage over time Suspension and wheels: Makes a massive difference in how your car handles, especially on long drives or rough roads Battery check: No one wants a dead battery, especially during the holidays Engine diagnostics: Spotting potential issues early means no nasty surprises later Regular maintenance means you can jump in your car and go wherever you want, knowing it’s in tip-top shape. And honestly, it’s not just about safety; it’s about saving money, too. Fixing something small now will cost way less than fixing a major breakdown later.

At Berry Springs Mechanical, we understand the importance of preparing your car for this busy time of year.  Booking a car service early not only guarantees peace of mind but also ensures you're not caught off guard by last-minute mechanical issues... Why Book Early? The holiday season is one of the busiest times for auto repair shops, with many closing their doors to enjoy the festivities themselves.

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.
