Your car will STOP or worse if it overheats or runs out of Coolant!

Your engine gets hot, really hot, and it's the cooling system and radiator that works hard to keep 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 or overheating and protects the system from rust and corrosion as well.

Most people know they need to maintain the level of coolant in the radiator to ensure the car doesn't overheat but perhaps a lesser known fact is that coolant also degrades over time and needs to be flushed regularly. If your vehicle is overheating and your dashboard shows your car is running hotter than normal or you are leaving puddles of coolant where ever you park, it is probably best to have your cooling system checked over by a professional.

Graeme East Motors can give your radiator and cooling system a well deserved service. Our fully trained team of experts will flush your radiator, using a fluid designed to clear out any build up. Once the cooling system is completely clean, the coolant is fully replaced and your car's cooling system will be functioning like a dream.

While there are a lot of places offering advice on how to flush a radiator yourself - it's not something we would advise you to do. Modern vehicles can be complex and mistakes like incomplete flushing or changing the coolant in your vehicle without flushing, can stir up even more particles 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 the right type of coolant, the system purged of any air pockets, and then the whole system reviewed 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 smells sweet which can be inviting to children and pets so proper storage is very important - having an expert do this job for you means not handling or having dangerous chemicals around your house. Dangerous coolant also needs to be disposed of correctly, professional workshops can have the coolant recycled or properly disposed of to save the environment.

If, upon inspection, we find that your cooling system has more serious issues, we can organise a quote and perform a radiator replacement service. Speak to our friendly staff today for more information

Graeme East Motors say don't blame hot weather for your car overheating! When your engine gets really hot, it's the cooling system and radiator that work hard to keep your car from being damaged by all that heat...

Radiator Flush and Cooling System Services in Bairnsdale

If your vehicle is suffering from:
poor fuel economy?
a lack of power when accelerating? 
an overall lack of power?
or the engine seems to be abnormally hot all the time? 
... then it could be time for a carbon clean. Graeme East Motors are the only car service workshop in the Bairnsdale area to offer this type of service using an on-car Intake System Cleaner .

Petrol / Diesel engine intake and carbon cleaning is an essential but often overlooked part of maintaining a modern diesel engine. Ideally you should look at having this service performed every 60,000kms for Diesel Vehicles and 100,000kms for Petrol Vehicles.

Most people do not realise how much carbon builds up in their engines. It accumulates on pistons, rings, valves and injectors. Build up in EGR valves and intake manifolds causes engines to run rough, have reduced power and use more fuel.

Graeme East Motors use and recommend BG Products, particularly their Injector and Intake Cleaning System. This System cleans the Injectors, Throttle Body, Intake Manifold and EGR systems. Additives are also added to the fuel system along with the engine oil to help improve the life of the engine.

Log book servicing is a proactive approach to car maintenance. Regular inspections keep your vehicle running smoothly prevent small problems from turning into major issues, which could otherwise be very costly to repair.

Every passenger car (and most commercials vehicles) should be issued with a “Log Book” by the manufacturer, which lays out the specified timing and agenda for your regular log book services. You should keep your log book in your glove box for reference and recording any details, but Graeme East Motors can also refer to our database to get the required information if you've misplaced your book.

The schedule of the service will be a combination of both time or distance.

You may be tempted to delay your next log book service because your car is probably still driveable and it may not have reached BOTH the time and distance measures. While you obviously need to find availability in your budget and schedule, don't delay too long because wear and tear on the car will increase exponentially and could lead to damage which is many times more expensive than the log book service would have been.

Every car is different and the agenda for each service changes according to the schedule, which is why each vehicle is issued with a log book.

Here are some examples of what can be included:
