Wishing Barry the Brave the best of luck as he takes on the Sh*tbox Rally! 🚗💨💪

South East Car Care is proud to help keep Barry looked after and ready for the road. 🔧❤️ Safe travels, have an absolute blast and go smash it, Barry! 🏁

Day 1. Barry is officially on the road.

Which feels mildly miraculous considering our track record with fuel.

To everyone who has backed Barry, shared a post, bought a ticket, donated, followed along or helped get this ridiculous pink and purple tiger to the start line, thank you.

But we’re not done. Not even close.

Every stripe on Barry carries a story, and every kilometre from here is about fighting for more of those stories to end differently.

Hope is what we’re fighting for. And we need your help to keep pushing.

Head to the Linktree in our bio to donate or enter one of our two raffles. Every ticket helps fund vital cancer research through Cancer Council.

Day 1. Let’s bloody go, Barry. 💗

This time of year brings unpredictable and often changing weather and road conditions - making it even more important to keep on top of your vehicle's maintenance 🔧

We all know how important BRAKES are for our car or vehicle but do you know what signs can tell you something isn't quite right with your braking system?

Let us help ⬇️

❌ Vibrations when braking
️❌️ Squealing or scraping sounds
❌️ Vehicle response time - taking longer to slow down

These can all be easy to identify signs something needs attention sooner rather than later !

⚠️ SAFETY NOTICE ⚠️ - Dodges Ferry

Due to further construction operations to do with the pool they have closed one of the entries in to the Dodges Ferry workshop also impacting accessibility for the businesses & buses located behind our building.

ALL TRAFFIC, including buses & trucks are now been directed through our driveway on the pub/BWS side

If you are entering the workshop please take EXTREME CARE as higher traffic flow of large vehicles has added a huge safety concern for small vehicles and pedestrians - areas you may previously have parked might not be accessible.

We are doing our best to manage this whilst keeping our business disruption to a minimum but as always SAFETY COMES FIRST ⚠️

Did you know your cabin air filter plays a big role in the air you breathe inside your vehicle? 🚗💨

Over time, your cabin filter traps dust, pollen, dirt, leaves, and other debris - even more so if you live or drive in rural areas more frequently.

When it becomes clogged, you may notice:
🍃 Reduced airflow from your air conditioning or heater
🤧 More dust, allergens and unpleasant odours inside your car
❄️ Your air conditioning working harder than it needs to

A clean cabin filter helps keep the air inside your vehicle fresh, improves airflow, and can even help your climate control system perform more efficiently.

If it's been a while since yours was replaced, it might be time for a check!

❄️ Winter is here... and cold mornings can reveal problems hiding under the bonnet. 🚗🔧

If you've noticed any of these warning signs, it could indicate your injectors need some attention

🚩 Excessive smoke on start-up
🚩 Knocking or rattling noises when cold
🚩 Reduced fuel economy
🚩 Rough running or loss of performance

Faulty injectors can affect your vehicle's performance, fuel efficiency, and reliability and if left unchecked, often lead to costly repairs down the track.

Winter's chilly mornings are often the best time to diagnose injector issues before they become bigger problems.

Give is a call for an inspection and keep your car performing well this winter. ❄️🛠️

🚗 Cruise Control: A Great Tool When Used Correctly 🚗

Cruise control can make long drives more comfortable, reduce driver fatigue, and even help improve fuel efficiency by maintaining a consistent speed. But it's important to know when to use it—and when not to.

✅ Best times to use cruise control:
• On long stretches of open highway
• In light traffic conditions
• When road and weather conditions are good

⚠️ Avoid using cruise control:
• In heavy traffic
• On winding or hilly roads
• During wet, icy, or slippery conditions
• When you're feeling tired or losing concentration

Remember, cruise control is designed to assist the driver, not replace them. Staying alert, keeping both hands available for steering, and maintaining a safe following distance are still essential for safe driving.

With more wet weather forecast across Tasmania, now is a good reminder to switch cruise control off when roads are slippery and adjust your driving to suit the conditions.
