Annually, tens of thousands of motorists are stranded with car trouble, often having had early warning signals that might have helped prevent a crisis. There are many occasions where simple maintenance would have prevented the break-down.
Let's face it, our automobiles almost always give us a warning sign when something is wrong . Your vehicle is something that you should be 'proactive about...not 'reactive'. We will teach what to check between regular services if you are not very familiar with them.
- Shaking or vibration at certain speeds, indicating a tire , rim, or balancing concern
- Squealing or scraping sounds, or a pulsation in the steering wheel or the brake pedal when slowing down.
- Your engines takes longer to start, or it makes odd sounds when idling.
- More often than before you're finding it necessary to add oil or other fluids between oil changes
- A "check engine" or other warning signal lights up on the instrument panel
- A loud exhaust, indicating an exhaust leak, which can allow carbon monoxide into the cabin.
- A knocking or thunk in the front end that occurs on bad roads
- The clicking of a worn CV joint as you make a tight turn.
- A hesitation or surge when you accelerate, pinging sounds or a loss of power up hills.
- Your tires are wearing unevenly , indicating a front end or alignment problem.
