It’s a crisp Dubbo morning, you’re running late, and your car won’t start. Frustrating? Definitely. Avoidable? Absolutely.

At Forro's Auto-Tech, we understand how vital a healthy car battery is—especially when Dubbo’s colder months roll in. That’s why we offer quick, accurate battery testing and replacements, so you can avoid those early morning surprises.

Your car’s battery doesn’t like the cold. When the temperature drops, so does the battery’s ability to generate power. Meanwhile, your car needs more power to start because cold oil makes the engine harder to turn over. It’s the perfect storm—and it’s why winter is the peak season for battery failures.

A battery that was “just hanging in there” during summer can fail without warning as soon as that chill hits.

Don’t wait until it’s completely flat. Here are a few things to watch out for:

Slow or hesitant cranking when you start the engine

Electrical accessories cutting in and out (radio, windows, central locking)

Battery light or check engine light illuminated

When you come in for a battery check at Forro's Auto-Tech, here’s what you can expect:

Full inspection of terminals and cables for corrosion or looseness

Honest advice from qualified mechanics—no gimmicks, no guesswork

If your battery does need replacing, we’ll fit a reliable, high-quality unit that suits your vehicle and driving needs. We stock trusted brands and offer quick turnaround times to get you back on the road fast.

Don’t wait for the inevitable cold morning breakdown. Pop into Forro's Auto-Tech in Dubbo for a battery check, or book online!
