Safe winter driving tips While everyone in the southern half of the country is bracing for a wet winter, the top half of Australia is enjoying their dry season. This could mean there are very different ways to get your car ready for winter; however the basics of safe winter motoring remain unchanged. So what do you do to make sure your car is set for safe winter motoring?  Making it clear Who hasn't had that moment when you turn on the wipers at the first spot of rain and suddenly remember you haven't checked them in months! Wiper blades don't last forever, especially sitting under the harsh Australian sun all summer. A good quality wiper blade like Trico is essential to help you see your way clear regardless of the weather. Temby Auto Service can recommend a wiper blade or assembly that is right for your car. Keeping it fluid Fluids and other components in your car can be effected by cold weather; such as coolants, oils and items such as glow plugs in diesel vehicles. It's important to have your car serviced regularly by a qualified mechanic who knows the best products and parts to maintain your vehicle in top condition. We use high quality NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils and fluids that are designed for Australian conditions.   Driving to the conditions Conditions change - and your driving style should too. If visibility is poor or the weather is wet - slow down and leave a larger than normal stopping distance between yourself and the vehicle in front. Drive on the safe side and book in today for a service or a 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report. Could you stop in time? Look for the signs that your brakes need some work, like vibrating, spongy or slow responding brake pedal, strange sounds or difficult handling when applying pressure to your brakes. If you are experiencing any of these you should get it checked out by a qualified expert. Brake inspections form part of our 65 Point Vehicle Inspection Report, so if you have concerns call us today and book in. Bald tyres = dangerous driving. Now is the time to check how much tread your tyres have left. If you spot uneven tyre wear, this could indicate that your shock absorbers or some other vital part of your steering and suspension systems are due for service or replacement. Find out more about the components that affect your tyre wear on the links below:  Tyres and Wheel Service Shock Absorber Auto Facts Steering and CV Boots Braking and Disc Pads Driving on tyres that are incorrectly inflated won't just cost you money on additional fuel; it can also impact your ability to stop. You can usually find manufacturers recommendations on a panel inside the driver side door.

When not servicing cars, motorcycles and other vehicles, Andrew Temby can be found high (and sometimes very low) in the air, indulging his other great passion - flying airplanes. Trust your motor to a mechanic who builds and flys his own airplanes. As a qualified pilot and aircraft builder you can be sure Andrew Temby always pays attention to the things that really matter... Andrew Temby has built his own Aircraft and and flys a Formula 1 competition plane called Extra 300 L . Andrew has flown Airshows regularly since 1991, flying many different types of planes . He has flown for TV and Movie . Andrew has test flown numerous Aircraft and put them through their paces. An avid motor enthusiast for as long as he can remember, Andrew is constructing and maintaining his own aircraft, most notably the Aerostar Yak-52TW. "They have a real war-bird feel to them," says Andrew noting that the roar of the plane's supercharged nine-cylinder engine is a spectacle in itself. "It has plenty of power; more than you need to use," Andrew compliments his aircraft originally built in 2004 by Aerostar in Romania, then registered in USA and exported to Australia on 2007. One of few low level Australian airshow pilots and an Australian and Victorian Aerobatic Champion for several years, Andrew can be seen performing aerobatics at various shows, events and festivals. Andrew has flown formation Air shows in many aircraft with many teams. See Andrew flying at Coldstream Airport 50th anniversary. As a licensed pilot at Lilydale Flying School, Andrew Temby gives excellent seminars on aerobatic flying, focusing on aircraft performance and human physiological and psychological factors. Andrew has also test flown many aircraft.  1957 Auster Aircraft (above), restored by Andrew, and flown extensively by Andrew and Michelle Temby for 10 years and the westernised tailwheel Yak-52TW (below). Want to know how it feels inside the cockpit? Grant McHerron got flying aerobatics with Andrew Temby in his Yak-52TW at Coldstream airport (YCEM) as a very special birthday present. Grant had interviewed Andrew for Plane Crazy Down Under podcast, which is also sponsored by Temby Automotive. Grant also arranged the aerobatic flight for his son Nykolai, which was his first flight in a “real” aircraft (tail dragger, radial, inline seating and all) with Andrew showing some good introductory aerobatics, inverted flight, pulling +4G / -1.5G and training him to maneuover the aircraft himself. A pilot himself, Grant was treated to a few chandelles, loops, barrel rolls & aileron rolls, then got into a few more manoeuvres including cuban-8's, an immelman, an avalanche and some other elements of aerobatics, ultimately doing a few series, linking multiple manoeuvres together in a routine: "After this lot of aeros I'd pulled +6G / -1.5G and we'd had a blast. Andrew suggested we go and do some “fun stuff” so we flew flat out and low level up an empty valley then headed over to the lake near Maroondah for another high speed run up the lake but at higher level this time, venting some smoke as we went. Woo hoo! An hour and 20 minutes in air with Andrew Temby felt like no time at all. We'd done the best aerobatics I've ever had in my life and I'd had a go at flying the fastest & most responsive aircraft I've yet had a chance to control. Andrew's YAK doesn't require much stick movement to get it where you want it - it's definitely an aircraft where you *think* what you want to do and before you know it, it's doing it," writes Grant, thanking his wife Kitt for the best birthday present ever.

If you notice any of the following symptoms, you should get your vehicle checked out as soon as possible Steering Wheel Vibrating or pulsing Nose diving and swerving - bonnet dips when braking or slowing down Car veers in side winds Car rocks and rolls over bumps and doesn't hug bends when cornering Uneven tyre wear Makes a rattling noise Clunking over bumps Bouncing, dipping and diving Your car's safety and roadworthiness is dependent on the “safety triangle” consisting of the vehicle's ‘stopping, steering and stability' capabilities. The suspension and shock absorbers are not just there to give you a smooth ride, they are integral tor the correct operation of these three critical capabilities, therefore keeping you, your passengers and other road users safe. Regular servicing and maintenance can help to prevent problems, but if you notice anything amiss, contact us ASAP to get it checked out. We are located in Eltham and service customers in the surrounding areas as well. See Temby Auto Service for all your suspension and shock absorber needs and be rewarded with the following benefits; Top Quality: As a part of the Repco Authorised Service Centre network all of the work we perform is backed by the Repco Nationwide Warranty. The Right Parts: Our mechanics are kept up on all the latest parts thanks to Repco service bulletins. Additionally, we have access to the Repco spare parts network which means we can find you the right part at the right price. The Best Team: Our mechanics are well versed in many different makes and models. From a fleet of vehicles to the family car, we are here for you. Our suspension and shock absorber services include inspection, diagnosis, repairs and replacements so we'll have your car fixed and back on the road time. Don't delay, book today. What are your suspension & shock absorber's important parts? Springs - Springs are designed to absorb energy and there are several different types including leaf, coil, torsion bar or air assisted springs. The springs on different types of cars will be set up to different levels. Luxury cars, for example, may have soft springs to produce a smoother ride but this results in more body movement when the car brakes and corners. Sports cars, on the other hand, tend to have tighter springs which allow for more aggressive driving, including around corners, but also mean a less smooth ride. Shock absorbers - these dissipate the energy absorbed by the springs. The car would not work properly without the shock absorbers because the springs would cause it to bounce up and down when you go over a bump rather than absorb that bump. Strut - this is a shock absorber mounted inside a coil spring. Struts do the job of the springs and shock absorbers plus provide additional structural support for the suspension system. Anti-sway bar - spans the width of the axle and joins the two sides of the suspension together to provide stability to the car while it is moving.

We are located at 13a Brougham Street and service many customers in Eltham and the surrounding areas.
