Who hasn't had that moment when you turn on the wipers on the first rainy day and remember that at the end of last season you should have replaced them! Constant exposure to the Australian conditions means your wipers will wear out. A good quality wiper blade like Trico is essential to help you see your way clear regardless of the weather. Echuca Service Centre & Echuca 4x4 can recommend a wiper blade or assembly that is right for your car.

Fluids and other workings in your car can be effected by cold weather; especially coolants, oils and items such as glow plugs in diesel vehicles.

We use high quality NGK glow plugs and Penrite oils and fluids that are designed for Australian conditions.

Driving on worn tyres is dangerous. Now is the time to check that your tyres have plenty of tread left. If you notice spots which are worn unevenly, this could indicate that your shock absorbers or some other vital part of your steering and suspension systems are due for service or replacement.

Driving on incorrectly inflated tyres 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. Find out more about the components that affect your tyre wear on the links below:
