If you have had an eye on the news over the last week you will notice that Victoria Police have launched Operation RAID across Victoria.  In its first weekend it detected over 1000 driving offences including cars that failed a roadside roadworthy check.  Included in this campaign was over 200 boose busses that intercepted all incoming and outgoing traffic to Melbourne and the operation will be in full swing until January.

Ask yourself this. 

Can you afford to be driving to your many Christmas and family holiday functions with a car that would fail a roadworthy test?

Or do you want to risk your life and the lives of others by driving on tires that have gone well past their use by date?

Are you going to attend any of the of New Years Eve festivals or large events – is your car safe?

You can safely assume if you spend much time out on the roads over November and December you will more than likely run into a Police unit and even if you don’t it’s better to be safe than sorry.

Book your car into Wendouree Car Service Today for a Service and if required a roadworthy check.  Our experts will let you know if your veichle has any problems and can solve the problem for you all in the one location including tires.

Did any of our friends and customers happen to catch the documentary on Kakadu on ABC1 over October?

Filmed over 12 months, KAKADU is a life and death drama where man meets wild and nature calls the shots. Here on the flood plains and ancient sculptured escarpments of Australia’s largest terrestrial national park, danger and great beauty are often the same. This is the World Heritage Listed site at its most magnificent and beguiling. But take care. Kakadu is wild. Deadly predators lie beneath the billabong surface and creep through the rugged stone towers.

If you missed it you can watch some episodes online at ABC iView
