Keep your car running efficiently and safely

No-one wants to be "that car" broken down on the freeway with steam pouring from under the hood.

 If your car is overheating you can't just blame the weather, your engine produces a lot of extreme heat and it's the radiator and cooling system that prevents your car, and you, from being damaged by all that heat. A special fluid called coolant is added to your system which also prevents liquids from freezing and protects the system from rust and corrosion as well.

Do I need a radiator flush or cooling system service?

If your vehicle is overheating, your dashboard shows your car is running hotter than normal or you are leaving puddles of coolant where ever you park it is time to have your cooling system checked out.

If you're noticing these things in your car come and see the team at Bonola Automotives.

And we can perform a well deserved service on your radiator and cooling system. Our expert technicians will perform a radiator flush, using a solution to clean all channels of build up. When the cooling system is cleaned, the cleansing solution is removed and coolant replaced, your car's cooling system will be running like a dream: a radiator flush might be just what your car needs to bring it back to peak performance.

What are the benefits of a radiator flush?

Your radiator will run more efficiently and have an increased life expectancy. 

Your engine will be more efficient and have an increased life expectancy. 

Your water pump is further protected as it is better lubricated.

How often should I get a coolant system flush?

Your car's log book will outline how often to service your cooling system, It is usually advisable that you have your coolant flushed every two years or 40,000 km's depending on which comes first. However, the size of your engine, local seasons, the condition of your existing coolant, and the total km's driven can all have an effect on how often you should replace the coolant in your radiator.

At Bonola Automotives, at your request we will perform a full 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report for free as part of any minor, major or log book service on your vehicle. This includes inspecting the level and condition of coolant in your system and the written report will tell you if we feel a radiator flush, coolant replacement or any repairs are advised to maintain the safety and performance of your vehicle.

What happens if I don't get a radiator flush or service?

With Time rust and scale deposits accumulate and the whole system becomes congested and it stops being effective at cooling and protecting your car. This build up of rust and debris can damage the important parts of your cooling system including your water pump, radiator, hoses and thermostat, affecting the lifespan of those parts and leading to expensive repairs or replacements in the future.

Websites and How-To's are around offering advice on how to flush a radiator yourself - we advise against it. Today's vehicles are complex and mistakes like incomplete flushing or changing the coolant in your vehicle without flushing can cause any deposits to move around more and cause blockages in your thermostat or radiator. 

It's advisable to have your systems examined regularly by a qualified mechanic, and properly flushed before being refilled with coolant of the right specifications, the system purged of any air pockets, and then the whole system tested by an expert again to ensure full working order and to prevent any costly breakdowns in the future. Radiator coolant is toxic and needs to be handled very carefully. It has a sweet smell which can be enticing to both children and pets so proper storage is very important - letting an expert handle this task for you means not handling or having dangerous chemicals around your house. Dangerous coolant also needs to be disposed of in a safe way, professional workshops can have the coolant recycled or properly disposed of to save the environment.

Tyres are one of the most crucial components of your vehicle, especially when it comes to driving in wet weather. At Bonola Automotives in Greensborough, we understand how vital tyre performance is for your safety and the safety of others on the road.

Inspections, Tread Depth & Tips | Bonola Automotives in Greensborough

When tyres are new, they are designed to handle wet conditions effectively. The deep tread channels water away, helping maintain grip and reducing the risk of hydroplaning. However, as tyres wear down, their ability to perform in wet weather diminishes significantly. Low tread depth means less grip, longer braking distances, and a higher likelihood of skidding. Waiting until your tyres reach the minimum legal tread depth is not only risky but can severely compromise the safety of you, your passengers, and other road users.

Maintaining correct tyre pressure is equally important when driving in wet conditions. Underinflated or overinflated tyres can reduce the contact area between the tyre and the road, impacting traction and stability. Tyres with incorrect pressure are more prone to hydroplaning, where water builds up under the tyre, leading to a loss of grip. Keeping your tyres inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure ensures optimal performance, improves handling on slippery surfaces, and reduces the chances of accidents in adverse weather. Regularly checking your tyre pressure, especially before wet weather, can make a significant difference to your safety on the road.

It's also essential to look out for uneven tyre wear, which can be caused by poor wheel alignment. Uneven wear not only shortens the lifespan of your tyres but also reduces their ability to perform as intended, particularly in adverse weather. At Bonola Automotives, we recommend having your tyres regularly inspected for both wear and alignment issues to ensure they are in optimal condition.

To stay safe on the road, it’s wise to rotate or replace your tyres before the wet weather sets in. This proactive approach ensures maximum safety, providing better grip and stability when driving in slippery conditions. Regular inspections and timely tyre replacements not only improve performance but also give you peace of mind, knowing that your vehicle is ready for whatever the weather throws your way.

At Bonola Automotives in Greensborough, our team is here to assist with professional tyre inspections, alignment checks, and advice tailored to your vehicle's needs. Don’t wait for the tread to wear thin—stay safe and prepared by booking a tyre check today.

Ensure your safety this wet season with expert tyre inspections at Bonola Automotives in Greensborough. Check tread depth, prevent uneven wear, and get safety tips for optimal driving performance.

The Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system has been built to fuel your vehicle's engine efficiently, ensuring a smooth running with maximum performance and minimal fuel usage. If any malfunction occurs, it will be evident through increased fuel consumption, as well as other irregularities.

An EFI system is responsible for supplying fuel to the engine with a high level of speed and effectiveness, resulting in optimal vehicle performance. Warning signs of an EFI malfunction may include the presence of fuel odour inside the vehicle, engine misfires, difficulties while starting, and unexpected engine shutdowns.

If you suspect you have a problem, bring your vehicle in for a no obligation inspection before it gets any worse. We are located in Greensborough and also serve customers from the surrounding areas.

Our various EFI services include items such as;

Cleaning your Throttle valve, fuel filter and fuel injector

 and our approach to troubleshooting and resolving them, here is additional information.

At Bonola Automotives we use special computer Diagnostic equipment to test your car's ECU (electronic control unit). The ECU is basically a central computer which controls (amongst other things) the fuel injection process by taking information from the many sensors spread throughout the vehicle and making “decisions” based on pre-programmed inputs. The ECU can ‘self-diagnose' faults and send out a special fault code which our diagnostic scan equipment is able to extract and interpret.

Quite often, the ECU is being given ‘wrong' information by faulty sensors or other environmental factors and this is when we have to call upon our expert knowledge and advanced diagnostic training to correctly identify the problem.

Electronic probe testing and visual inspections can be made of your car's sensors, throttle valve, fuel filter, fuel pump and fuel injectors to make sure they are working correctly

Any leaks must be located and fixed without delay - Air leaks will seriously affect performance and fuel economy and can cause severe damage to engine components and quite obviously we don't want fuel leaking out anywhere!

Over time, Fuel lines, filters and valves can become clogged with contaminants or tank sediments so they'll need to be cleaned or replaced. Where necessary components can be unclogged using special flushing compounds.

If any sensors or the lines connecting them to the ECU are damaged they'll need to be fixed or replaced. While your car technically might be able to function without some of these sensors, they all keep track of information that is vital to the efficiency, performance and safety of your vehicle so your ECU will usually not let you run the vehicle until they are fixed and it will often send the vehicle into a state of basic operation known as ‘limp mode'
