If your car’s struggling to start on these chilly Temora mornings, your battery might be trying to tell you something. A flat battery is one of the most common issues we see during winter—and one of the easiest to avoid with a quick check.

At Schulz Automotive, we’re proud to be Temora’s go-to for honest, dependable car care. Our team offers fast, accurate battery testing and replacements to keep you moving, whether you’re headed to work, out to the farm, or off on a road trip.

As the temperature drops, your battery has to work harder. The cold slows the chemical reaction inside the battery, meaning it produces less power—just when your engine needs more of it to turn over. If your battery is already worn from heat, age, or regular short trips around town, winter is when it’s most likely to let you down.

Don’t get caught out—watch for these early warning signs:

Signs Your Battery Might Be on the Way Out

Engine cranks slowly or sounds weak when starting

Headlights or dash lights dim when the car is idling

Battery or engine light lit on the dashboard

Power windows, radio, or central locking playing up

When you visit us for a battery check, here’s what we’ll do:

Run a full voltage and load test to check performance

Inspect terminals and cables for corrosion or loose connections

Give you honest, straightforward advice—no unnecessary replacements

Fit a new, reliable battery on the spot if needed, using quality brands we trust

We’ll make sure your battery is up to the challenge, so you can drive with confidence all winter long.

Whether you're driving across the paddocks or just around Temora, don’t risk a flat battery ruining your day. Come and see the team at Schulz Automotive for a fast, no-fuss battery check.

If your battery is already worn from heat, age, or regular short trips around town, winter is when it’s most likely to let you down.
