Suspension Service and Lift Kits

A well-maintained suspension system is crucial for a smooth and safe ride, especially during wet weather. Potholes and slippery surfaces can pose a risk, but a good suspension setup helps absorb shocks and keeps your vehicle stable. Gippy Automotive offers expert suspension services and lift kits to enhance your vehicle's performance. These services can improve ground clearance and provide better handling on wet and uneven terrain, making your drive safer and more comfortable.

Essential Car Checks Before the Wet Season

Brakes: Ensure your brakes are in excellent condition, as stopping distance can increase on wet roads.
Lights: Check all your lights to ensure maximum visibility during heavy rain or foggy conditions.
Wipers and Washers: Replace old wiper blades and fill up your windshield washer fluid to keep your vision clear.
Battery: Wet weather can strain your battery, so make sure it's fully charged and in good condition.

By taking these steps and utilising the services and specials at Gippy Automotive, you'll be better prepared to face the challenges of driving during Warragul's wet season. Remember, a well-maintained car is not only safer but also offers peace of mind on every journey.
