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.

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

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.

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.

Log Book Servicing is a proactive approach to car maintenance where regular inspections and small fixes keep your vehicle running smoothly and efficiently and prevent small problems turning into major damage and problems which could be very costly to repair.

Every passenger car (and most commercials vehicles) is 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 we 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;
