European and Luxury car servicing in Morwell

Faulty air conditioning could be costing you fuel?

Today's cars are often complicated machines, much like engines. Air conditioners also have many parts that need to be serviced or replaced regularly in order to continue working efficiently and reliably.

 If there is a leak somewhere in the rubber seal that might be reducing the refrigerant pressure; this will cause your air con system to gradually wear down until finally breaking completely. 

Therefore it is important to undertake a regular check of the condition of the rubber seals for any signs of leaks or issues which could well be allowing a loss of refrigerant.

JCP Automotive (AU22204) perform all your Car Air Conditioner Regas, Inspection, Repair or Servicing needs in Morwell and the surrounding areas.

RAS Auto Facts - Air Conditioning

Evaporation occurring over time or leaks may diminish refrigerant pressure meaning your air con system will begin to deteriorate and will have to work harder, raising your fuel consumption.

Getting your car's air conditioning serviced yearly means you may assist preventing costly breakdowns now and in the future, keep passengers safe by helping to prevent the build-up of potentially harmful substances and a well serviced car air conditioner system actually saves you money because it reduces the amount of fuel being used up.

Concerned about starting your car, flickering lights, or dashboard warning lights on? Just drop into our Morwell workshop for a free driveway battery testing service. 

Your car battery is an essential component of your vehicle. Without it, there’s no engine start. A flat battery can leave you stranded on the side of the road, waiting for a breakdown truck or even worse, having to call a friend for a jump start. Don’t take chances with your car battery’s health -have it tested regularly by an expert mechanic at JCP Automotive.

At JCP Automotive, we stock a range of the most common battery sizes and can order in other types/sizes as required. We stock quality SuperCharge and Repco Batteries to ensure you get the best performance and reliability.

Cold weather can severely affect your battery’s performance. Don’t wait for a frosty morning to find out it isn’t up to the task. Take advantage of our free driveway testing service for peace of mind.

Car batteries are designed and engineered to last for several years, but many factors can affect their lifespan, including temperature extremes and short circuits caused by loose terminals. When your car battery does need replacing, we’ve got you covered with top-quality batteries at affordable prices!

A car battery consists of several critical components, each serving a specific function to ensure the battery operates efficiently. Here are the key parts:

Battery Case: The outer shell that houses and protects the internal components. It's typically made of durable plastic to resist acid and physical damage.

Positive and Negative Terminals: These are the points where the battery connects to the car’s electrical system. The positive terminal is usually marked with a + sign and the negative with a -.

Electrolyte: A mixture of sulphuric acid and water that facilitates the chemical reactions needed to generate electricity. It serves as a medium for ion exchange between the plates.

Battery Plates: Composed of lead and lead oxide, these plates are the sites of chemical reactions. They are typically arranged in a series of alternating positive and negative plates.

Separators: Thin insulating materials placed between the positive and negative plates to prevent short-circuiting while allowing the flow of ions.

Cells: Individual compartments within the battery, each containing a set of plates and electrolyte. A standard 12-volt car battery has six cells, each producing about 2.1 volts.

Vent Caps: These allow gases produced during the chemical reactions to escape, preventing pressure build-up. They can also provide access for adding distilled water to maintain the electrolyte level in some types of batteries.

Battery Terminals/Posts: Metal posts where the battery cables are attached. They enable the flow of electrical current to and from the battery.

Cell Connectors/Straps: Lead straps that connect the individual cells within the battery in series, ensuring the combined voltage of all cells.

Battery Plates Grids: Metal frameworks that support the active material on the plates. They enhance conductivity and support the structural integrity of the plates.

Understanding these components can help in diagnosing issues, performing maintenance, or selecting the right battery for your vehicle.
