While Sydney winters aren’t exactly freezing, the drop in temperature is enough to affect your battery’s performance—especially if it’s already a few years old. Short trips, traffic lights, and constant stop-start driving in areas like Botany can wear batteries down quicker than you might think. Combine that with a few cool mornings and your battery might just call it quits. At Alex's Auto Services, we’re all about helping locals stay on the road—whether you're commuting into the CBD, heading to the airport, or getting the kids to school on time. That’s why we offer fast, honest battery checks and replacements right here in Botany, so you can avoid surprises and keep moving. Signs Your Battery Might Be Fading Catch the early signs before you’re stuck in a carpark or late for work: Engine turns over slowly or struggles to start Headlights or dash lights flicker when starting Battery or engine warning light on your dash Power windows, radio or central locking acting up Needed a jump-start recently Starts are worse on cooler mornings Your battery is 3+ years old or hasn’t been tested in a while We only use trusted battery brands, built to handle Sydney’s heat, traffic, and unpredictable weather. Don’t Let a Flat Battery Ruin Your Day Whether you’re heading up Southern Cross Drive or just around the corner to Eastgardens, your car should start first time, every time. Drop into our Botany workshop for a quick battery check and let us keep your vehicle powered up and ready to go. More car battery questions answered: 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 Alex's Auto Services 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, Alex's Auto Services have access to the highest quality batteries to suit most vehicles. Who can test my car battery? Alex's Auto Services can do a battery load test. Phone us or visit the workshop today. Why choose Alex's Auto Services 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 Alex's Auto Services 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 Alex's Auto Services 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 Alex's Auto Services today. We can recommend the right battery for your needs and install it for you. 

Short trips, traffic lights, and constant stop-start driving in areas like Botany can wear batteries down quicker than you might think. Combine that with a few cool mornings and your battery might just call it quits.

Here are some testimonials we have received from other independent websites. I had to get my car inspected with very short notice, and Alex's Auto Services did everything very quickly and properly. Value was great, very thorough work, and honest staff. 

MillyBl in Alexandria, NSW on WOMO What a great bunch of guys! I used Alex's Auto Services while my regular mechanic was unavailable and have to say that their passion for their trade really shows. Top quality workmaniship, easy to talk to and willing to give me all the feedback I needed and more. They treated their female clients with the utmost respect as I witnessed while in the workshop waiting to pick up my car. Thanks for all the help you have given me in my time of need! 

John Disco on TrueLocal Silvio and his team are great to deal with. Really accommodating, helpful and reasonably priced. They do their best to stick to booking times and get your car back to you when they say they will. Silvio always gives me a heads-up to explain what work needs to be done, why it's necessary and what are the other options. I've used Alex's Auto for years and sent several friends there. 

Memi on TrueLocal Fantastic service! Friendly, helpful and affordable. An honest group of great guys. Will continue to keep coming back! :)

Your electronic fuel injection (EFI) system is designed to rapidly deliver fuel to the engine in a highly efficient manner, helping your vehicle to run smoothly, at peak performance and using the minimum amount of fuel. Symptoms of an EFI problem include the smell of fuel in the car, idling roughly, problems with starting and frequent stalling. If you suspect you have a problem, bring your vehicle in to our Botany workshop for a no obligation inspection before it gets any worse.  Here's a bit more info about EFI problems and about how we diagnose and fix problems with your EFI: 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' Our various EFI services include items such as: Diagnostics, testing and inspection Repairs and replacements Cleaning your Throttle valve, fuel filter and fuel injector Checking sensors Checking engine control unit (ECU) Why work with us? Exceptional Care: As a part of the Repco Authorised Service network of mechanics we have all the latest diagnostic training and technical equipment to keep your cars EFI system running at optimal performance Peace of Mind: We offer the peace of mind which comes from the Repco Authorised Service Nationwide Warranty, along with the friendly service which comes from dealing with a trusted independent workshop Education: Not only do our mechanics have access to a vast library of diagnostic information and service bulletins via the National Auto Tech training program, but they are always available if required to help our clients learn more about what is going on with their car For a high quality Fuel Injection Service at a competitive price, speak with the team at Alex's Auto Services or book online.

Fuel injection (EFI) servicing

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.
