A Seasonal Wake-Up Call
Melbourne’s sun is starting to peek out, the frost is melting, and you’re daydreaming about spring road trips. But here’s the catch—your car just endured three months of puddles, potholes, and damp mornings. Winter leaves behind a trail of issues that only grow nastier if ignored.
For European vehicles—BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, MINI, Land Rover—the smartest move now is booking your pre-spring service at Auto Tech Group in Glen Iris, Malvern East, or Canterbury. Think of it as spring cleaning for your ride, only with diagnostic gear, genuine parts, and specialist care.
Melbourne’s Seasonal Grip on Your Car
Winter here isn’t gentle—it’s a wet, unpredictable test of endurance. And European vehicles, built for precision, notice every pothole and splash.
What our technicians often uncover post-winter:
Fluid fatigue: Oil thickens, brake fluid absorbs condensation—hello corrosion.
Battery strain: Cold mornings hit electrical systems hard; weak batteries spell disaster.
Tire wear: Wet, cold roads reduce grip; uneven wear can compromise handling.
Brake damage: Moisture and grit lead to corrosion and poor responsiveness.
