As we gear up for a soggy season in the southern parts of our great nation, the northerners are basking in their dry spell. The stark contrast in weather patterns between the two halves of Australia couldn't be more different.

How can you ensure your vehicle is geared up for secure winter driving? Let's dive into it.

Have you ever experienced that dreadful moment when it starts raining and you turn on your wipers, only to realize you haven't inspected them in months?

At Will Ferris Auto Repairs, we can guide you towards selecting the appropriate wiper blade or assembly for your vehicle. Trust us, and we'll make sure you're not left in the dark during those stormy days.

When the weather gets chilly, it can cause trouble for some of the essential parts and fluids in your car, like the coolants, oils, and glow plugs in diesel engines.
