It doesn’t need to be below zero for your battery to feel the pressure. Even our crisp regional mornings can slow down your battery’s internal chemistry, making it harder to start your engine. Add in summers spent baking in the sun, towing loads, or driving across the peninsula, and your battery might already be past its best. If your car’s dragging its feet when you turn the key on a chilly Kadina morning, your battery might be ready to pack it in. And out here on the Yorke Peninsula, getting caught with a flat battery is the kind of delay no one wants—especially if you’ve got work to get to or paddocks to reach. At NYP Car Fix, we know how tough country driving can be on your vehicle—dust, heat, distance, and now, cold mornings. That’s why we offer quick, reliable battery checks and on-the-spot replacements, so you’re never stuck when it’s time to hit the road. Signs Your Battery Might Be on the Way Out Look out for these red flags before your battery calls it quits: Engine turns over slowly or struggles to start Flickering or dim headlights Battery warning light glowing on your dashboard Electric windows, locks, or radio acting up Needed a jump-start lately Starts are slower on colder mornings Battery is more than 3 years old When you stop by for a battery check, our local team will get you sorted quickly and properly. We run a full health and load test on your battery, inspect terminals and cables for corrosion or damage and give you straightforward advice—no pressure, no upselling.  If it’s time for a replacement, we’ll fit a tough, long-lasting battery that’s up to the job. We only use quality batteries we trust—ones that can handle everything from school drop-offs to long hauls to Ardrossan, Moonta, or beyond. Don't wait until you're stuck. Whether you're heading to the job site, out to the farm, or just down to the shops, your battery needs to start your car—first time, every time. Drop into our Kadina workshop for a fast, honest battery check and stay one step ahead of winter breakdowns. More questions about your car battery? How do I know if my battery is getting flat or low? The most obvious sign of a flat battery is when your car won't start, but modern motor vehicles can show symptoms like non-essential functions not operating correctly - things like idle stop-start function not working, or the car's air-conditioning not working effectively.
Other signs you might need a new car battery include: Vehicle is slow to start Engine won't start Dash Lights work, but engine won't start Constantly needing a jump start Film or corrosion on the battery Cracked swollen or leaky battery Rotten egg smell under the hood Do I need a new car battery? The most obvious sign of a flat battery is when your car won't start. Modern motor vehicles can show symptoms like the idle stop-start not working or the car's air-conditioning not working to full capacity.

Other signs include cracked, dirty or leaky batteries, a rotten egg smell under the hood of your car, or regularly needing a jump start or recharge. The best way to know if you need a new battery is to get a car battery test at NYP Car Fix Does a flat battery use more fuel? Yes! When your car battery is running flat, the alternator works harder to recharge the battery. This added load on the engine means it burns more fuel. Where can I buy a new car battery? Come in and see us! As a Repco Authorised Service Centre, NYP Car Fix have access to the highest quality batteries to suit most vehicles. Who can test my car battery? NYP Car Fix can do a battery load test. Phone us or visit the workshop today. Why choose NYP Car Fix for a battery test? If you have concerns about your vehicle's performance, it is wise to get your battery tested at a full-service workshop like NYP Car Fix rather than at a parts store. That's because we take into consideration the whole vehicle and can diagnose any deeper issues. There is nothing worse than replacing your car battery only to find the problem actually lies elsewhere… except maybe being told your battery test is fine with no explanation for your ongoing issues! Can my car battery be recharged? Yes, in fact the battery is being recharged by the alternator in your car whenever the engine is running. Sometimes this fix isn't enough, and your battery requires an external recharge. It's best to ask the professionals like our team at NYP Car Fix about this, as you could void the battery warranty by recharging it yourself. Sometimes external recharging is not the best option because every battery eventually reaches a point in its life where replacement is the only answer to avoid unexpected breakdowns. Can I fit my battery myself? The short answer is yes...But! Modern vehicles are “computers on wheels”, so if you decide to DIY you must follow proper installation procedures to avoid damaging the ECM (Engine Control Module) and TCM (Transmission Control Module). Plus, if the battery gets incorrectly installed, items like the radio, the navigation system and security codes may need to be professionally reset. Talk to NYP Car Fix today. We can recommend the right battery for your needs and install it for you. 

If your car’s dragging its feet when you turn the key on a chilly Kadina morning, your battery might be ready to pack it in.

Keep your cool, without global warming. A proactive car air conditioning approach to protecting our environment.  As Australia begins phasing down HFC use (from January 2018), many new vehicle manufacturers may be switching to new air conditioning systems using the more environmentally friendly refrigerant R-1234yf, instead of R-134a. The benefits of using R-1234yf "Twelve Thirty Four", as R-1234yf is sometimes known, is an HFO type refrigerant delivering high performance, resulting in a more efficient air-conditioning system, fewer emissions and reduced fuel consumption. Hydrofluoroolefins (HFO's) have a double carbon bond meaning they trap less heat in the atmosphere than Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC's) and break down faster. Importantly, R-1234yf systems are specifically engineered to prevent refrigerant leakage and loss, including into the interior of the vehicle. The leakage of refrigerants contributes considerably to greenhouse gases. Why the switch? Older type refrigerants accumulate in the upper atmosphere as greenhouse gases and contribute significantly to Global Warming for a considerable time. In the mid-'90s, the old R-12 (or Freon), which takes a long time to break down into a non-greenhouse gas, was replaced with R134a, which breaks down much quicker. R-1234yf takes that improvement to the next level, breaking down in less than half the time of R-134a (and a fraction of the time R-12 can take). R-134a will remain in use for some time and a licensed mechanic can still service R-134a air con systems, but new vehicles will likely use the new systems with R-1234yf. Some already are. Irrespective of what type of refrigerant your car air conditioner uses, a car service workshop undertaking air conditioner service must have the right knowledge and equipment to handle these gases responsibly. You should always take your car to a mechanic with the skills and specialist equipment to undertake air conditioning service safely and correctly.

Modern radiator coolants not only protect your car from overheating, or the fluid from freezing, they also protect the radiator system from corrosion. NYP Car Fix in Kadina are very knowledgeable and experienced in looking after these systems.  It is recommended that you exchange your radiator coolant fluid every two years or 40,000 km's whichever comes first. However the size of the engine, the climate in your area, the age of your current coolant, and the total miles that have been driven can all affect the need to replace the coolant in your radiator. Knowing when to replenish your radiator fluid isn't always easy - obviously, when it has gone a dirty brown colour it's a sign it probably needs to be flushed and replaced - however even fresh-looking coolant could have lost its corrosion protection properties and without measuring its reserve alkalinity there's no signal that it is no longer protecting your vehicle components, and it could even be doing more damage than good. Maintaining good coolant means your radiator system will be much better protected from corrosion and will have a longer life span, it will help prevent you from having to replace expensive engine components. At NYP Car Fix in Kadina 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. Part of this inspection includes checking the level and condition of coolant in your system and the written report will advise you if we feel a radiator flush, fluid replacement or any repairs are required to maintain the performance of your vehicle.

Even if it looks clean, your coolant still might need replacing!
