Read moreCold Start? Flat Battery?
When your car cranks slowly—or doesn’t crank at all—on a cold Dandenong morning, chances are your battery’s had enough. It’s one of the most common winter problems we see, and thankfully, one of the easiest to fix.
At Keith Linnell Tuning, we offer fast, accurate battery testing and replacements, so you’re never left stranded in the driveway or late for your next job, school run, or weekend escape. Whether you drive a daily commuter or a finely tuned performance vehicle, we’ll make sure your battery keeps up.
Why Cold Weather Is Tough on Car Batteries
When temperatures drop, the chemical reaction inside your battery slows down, which means it can’t produce as much power. At the same time, your engine needs more power to start in cold conditions. Add to that short trips, city traffic, and a few hard summers, and your battery may already be on its last legs.
That’s why winter is the most common time for batteries to fail—often with no warning.
What to Expect at Keith Linnell Tuning
We’re not here to upsell—we’re here to keep your vehicle reliable and running at its best. When you come to us for a battery check, we’ll:
- Perform a professional battery load and voltage test

- Fit a high-quality replacement battery on the spot if needed—matched to your car’s specs and your driving needs
We stock reliable, long-lasting batteries from brands we trust, suited for Melbourne’s changing weather and driving conditions.
