As the festive season draws near, the thrill of holiday travel is undeniable. Whether you're planning a scenic road trip or towing a caravan, it's crucial to ensure your vehicle is in perfect shape for the journey. At Paulo's Automotive in Shepparton, we recognise the significance of a detailed car check-up before you set off on your adventure.

If you've noticed any unusual noises or odours coming from your vehicle, it's particularly important to get these checked. We can conveniently arrange for an air conditioning inspection, service and repairs with a licensed technician while your vehicle is being serviced. Rest assured, you’re covered by our Nationwide Warranty, and you can visit any Repco Authorised Service centre while travelling, should you encounter any issues away from home.

When did you last inspect your car's tyres, brakes, and fluid levels? Regular servicing is essential to avoid unexpected hiccups that could throw a spanner in your holiday plans. By tackling potential issues early, you can travel with peace of mind, knowing your vehicle is in prime condition.

The Importance of a Pre-Holiday Vehicle Check

For those intending to tow a caravan or camper this holiday season, a comprehensive vehicle check is indispensable. Towing places additional stress on your car, making it even more critical to ensure all parts are in excellent working order. At Paulo's Automotive, we conduct detailed inspections of your vehicle’s wheel bearings, suspension, and cooling systems, helping you avert last-minute delays and unexpected breakdowns on the road.

Tyres: Ensuring your tyres have sufficient tread and are correctly inflated is key to safety and fuel efficiency. Worn tyres can compromise grip and increase accident risks, especially on long journeys.

Brakes: The braking system is among the most vital components of your vehicle. Regular inspections ensure that your brakes respond efficiently, minimising accident risks.

Fluids: Your car relies on various fluids for optimal performance, including engine oil, coolant, and brake fluid. Insufficient or contaminated fluids can cause overheating or system failures.

Wheel Bearings: Crucial for smooth wheel rotation and vehicle stability, any wear or damage should be promptly addressed to prevent further issues.

Suspension: A well-maintained suspension system improves ride comfort and vehicle handling, particularly when towing.

Cooling Systems: Avoid overheating by ensuring your cooling system is in good condition. This includes checking the radiator, hoses, and coolant levels.

Don't leave it until the last minute to service your car. By arranging a check-up with Paulo's Automotive in Shepparton, you can guarantee a hassle-free start to your holiday. Our team of skilled technicians is prepared to provide a thorough inspection and service tailored to your needs.
