Easter Driving: Why Early Car Servicing Matters Easter is a season many of us look forward to, whether it’s for long weekend trips, family gatherings, or simply taking a break from our daily routines… However, as exciting as it may be, the weeks leading up to Easter can bring a surge in demand for car servicing and repairs. If you’re planning to hit the road this Easter, now is the perfect time to get ahead of the rush and book your car service at Northlands Automotive in Balcatta. Why the urgency? 
Many mechanical workshops experience a significant increase in bookings as the holiday approaches. With Easter being a busy time for travel, whether you’re heading out of town or just navigating Balcatta, ensuring your vehicle is in top condition is not only smart but essential for a safe and hassle-free journey. Why Regular Servicing is a Must for Easter Travel Servicing your car regularly isn’t just about ticking a box—it’s about making sure your vehicle stays reliable and safe, especially during peak travel times. Regular servicing helps identify and fix minor issues before they develop into costly or dangerous problems. Key mechanical tasks often undertaken during regular servicing include: Oil and filter changes: Keeping your engine clean and running efficiently Brake checks: Ensuring your braking system is responsive and safe, particularly critical for long drives or unexpected stops Tyre inspections: Checking tread, pressure, and alignment for optimal safety and fuel efficiency Battery health assessments: Making sure your car will start every time without fail Fluid top-ups and checks: Covering everything from coolant to windshield washer fluid Suspension and steering evaluations: To maintain stability and handling during your journey With these routine checks and adjustments, your car is better equipped to handle the demands of holiday driving—whether it’s cruising along highways, navigating city streets, or tackling winding country roads. Easter is Still a Little Way Off—So Why Book Now? While Easter may seem far away, it’s wise to plan ahead. Waiting until the last minute to service your car could leave you scrambling for an available workshop slot or worse—risking an unresolved issue that could disrupt your holiday plans. By booking early with Northlands Automotive, you secure your spot and give yourself peace of mind knowing your car will be road-ready when it matters most. For those planning long road trips, it’s especially important to have your vehicle thoroughly checked. Long hours of driving can put extra strain on key components like brakes, tires, and the engine. Even if you’re not venturing far from Balcatta, Easter weekend traffic and stop-start driving can take a toll. A properly serviced car is less likely to encounter breakdowns, saving you from unexpected delays and repair costs. School Holiday Driving in Balcatta: Keep Your Family Safe The Easter break often coincides with school holidays, meaning your car may also play a vital role in shuttling kids to and from activities. Regular servicing ensures your vehicle remains safe and reliable for everyday tasks as well as holiday adventures. Beyond the standard checks, consider specific services that can enhance your car’s performance and safety. For example, an air conditioning service can keep everyone comfortable during long drives, while injector cleaning can improve engine efficiency and fuel economy—perfect for keeping running costs down during busy weeks.

Northlands Automotive are the right choice for new car service in Balcatta.  You always have the choice of where your vehicle is serviced, maintained and repaired, at competitive prices, without voiding either the manufacturers warranty or your rights under the Consumer Guarantee. You do not have to take the car back to the dealership who sold it to you for service or repairs. Provided the work is overseen to the manufacturers specifications by a suitably skilled person and uses tolerable quality parts and fluids, the warranty stands.  With Repco Authorised Service you can tick all the boxes. Every Northlands Automotive mechanic is fully qualified and Auto-Tech trained, giving them access to Australia's leading provider of automotive technical information and training. This means Northlands Automotive mechanics are kept fully up to date with the latest in automotive service techniques and are able to service your new car without voiding the warranty. Repco branded parts & products are manufactured to stringent Repco quality standards, and are covered by the Repco Nationwide Warranty, giving you added protection. Northlands Automotive will also only ever use fluids and lubricants that meet the specifications of the original car manufacturer. If you already own a new car or are thinking of purchasing one, make sure you clearly understand where your statutory rights begin and end Make sure you are aware of the differences between manufacturer, statutory and extended warranties to avoid making the wrong selection when it comes to servicing your new car. You are automatically covered by a statutory warranty, also known as a Consumer Guarantee, under Australian Consumer Law (ACL) and this statutory protection can never be superseded by manufacturer or express warranties (which are offered by the car maker and car dealer respectively). A lack of disclosure requirements on car dealers at the point of sale regarding these contracts can easily lead the consumer into making a choice to be bound by a long term contract without access to all of the details needed to make a properly informed decision. So when purchasing a new vehicle, be on guard for new car dealers who may try to include “express” or “extended” warranties, often for free. As a general rule these ‘extra' warranties may include quite comprehensive restrictions or provisions, and are not always what they are cracked up to be. Many times these promises provide no real additional benefits not already given by the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with the dealership that sold the car. Such promises are very unlikely to focus on the potential negative aspects involved with taking a new car back to the dealer for service or repair. This includes how far you will need to go to get your car serviced or longer waiting times due to fewer available service locations or mechanics. Check out our frequently asked questions below for more information on New Car Service and warranties. If you need to know more, the AAAA website and ACCC website have some great information too. New Car Service Frequently asked questions What is a consumer guarantee? Under Australian Consumer Law (ACL), you are protected by a Consumer Guarantee which takes into account purchase price, realistic expectations of when a failure might occur, advertising claims and the conditions under which a vehicle should operate. Previously known as a Statutory Warranty, the Consumer Guarantee does not have a specific time limit associated with it nor can it ever be replaced by a manufacturers warranty, which is in addition to the Consumer Guarantee. What is a manufacturers warranty? Manufacturers warranties are essentially a promise to the buyer that the new vehicle will be free from defects for a specific time and that any such defects will entitle buyers to a repair or other compensation. According to the Competition and Consumer Act (2010), such warranties cannot state that a vehicle must be returned to an authorised dealer for service. What is an express or extended warranty? Often new car dealers will try to include "express" or "extended" warranties, sometimes for free, in the purchase of your new vehicle. These ‘extra' warranties are in addition to the manufacturers warranty and may include quite specific restrictions or provisions, usually in unclear or confusing language. Many of these contracts actually provide little or no additional benefits over and above the consumer's basic statutory rights and can tie the unwary buyer into a long term agreement with a specific car dealership. Extended warranties can (and often do) restrict you to a specific dealership, which can have its drawbacks. Can Northlands Automotive service my new car without voiding the warranty? There is no requirement to service your car at a manufacturer’s dealership to preserve; Any manufacturer’s warranty (that may apply to your vehicle). Any state or territory based statutory warranty (that may apply to your vehicle). Your rights to Consumer Guarantees (formerly known as implied statutory warranties). What steps will Northlands Automotive take to protect my warranty? Northlands Automotive are fully qualified to carry out log book servicing, and we ensure all work is performed according to the manufacturer’s specifications, using appropriate quality parts, fluids and lubricants where required - meaning the manufacturer's warranty remains intact. In addition, all work carried out by Northlands Automotive is backed by the Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty. Can Northlands Automotive stamp my logbook? Northlands Automotive can and will stamp your log book to verify the work has been conducted by fully qualified staff according to manufacturer’s specifications, using appropriate quality parts, fluids & lubricants. Will having my car serviced with Northlands Automotive help maintain the value? It goes without saying that a vehicle that has been well taken care of will maintain its value better than a poorly maintained one. Proof of a regular, properly adhered to service schedule will add further supporting evidence the car is in good condition. In addition to maintaining your warranty with correct service procedures, Northlands Automotive will stamp your logbook, which can prove invaluable should you ever decide to sell the car. What about extended warranty or service plans? Motor vehicle dealers sometimes offer their own extended (or express) warranties on vehicles. These extra warranties often begin after the manufacturer’s warranty and may stipulate that the vehicle must be serviced by the actual dealer offering the warranty. They are generally within their right to impose this condition, but the buyer should beware, such warranties are not always what they seem. Northlands Automotive will be happy to advise you on the conditions and relative value before you commit to any service plan.

Is your caravan or trailer costing you money? Bring it into Northlands Automotive for a comprehensive service. Caravans and trailers (including standard trailers, boat trailers and horse floats) need regular servicing and maintenance to ensure they are safe and will not adversely impact your driving or your stopping distance and to ensure they do not increase the amount of fuel you use. Wheel bearings, brakes and running gear are common areas of concern when it comes to the safety of your trailer or caravan and these should be checked at least once a year to ensure they are operating safely and correctly. Problems with the wheel bearings or brakes can make the caravan or trailer difficult to control when towing and can significantly increase your stopping distance and use of fuel, particularly under heavy loads. The team at Northlands Automotive can check your brakes and bearings are up to the job and let you know if they require replacing or upgrading. Many trailer and caravan manufacturers recommend towed vehicles should be serviced every 10,000km or 12 months. If you do a lot of towing your caravan or trailer it pays to keep it running smoothly to help minimise fuel expenditure in addition to safety concerns. Even if you don't use your trailer or caravan regularly you should still have it serviced at least once per year. Lack of use brings it's own problems and requirements and you should still have your towed vehicle checked on a regular basis to ensure components have not failed or deteriorated without your knowledge. Why choose Northlands Automotive for caravan or trailer service? We will explain all of our work in an easy to understand manner, and advise you of any extra work that may be required on your trailer or caravan before commencing with the task. If that is not enough peace of mind for you, all our work is covered by a Nationwide Warranty which has you covered wherever you may be towing a caravan or trailer in Australia. Have your caravan or trailer service performed by Northlands Automotive, the team with the specialist expertise, facilities and training specific to trailer and caravan servicing, to get the job done right.

Regular upkeep and maintenance of caravans and trailers—including those used for boats and horses—are essential to ensure their safety and efficiency. Proper care helps prevent any negative effects on your driving performance, including stopping distances. Additionally, it can help manage fuel consumption, making sure it doesn't unnecessarily increase. This ongoing attention not only keeps your equipment in top condition but also contributes to a safer and more economical driving experience overall...
