The amount of pressure and strain on vehicles will eventually manifest as car trouble. Car troubles can be small inconveniences or large problems; it depends on what has gone wrong and how quickly you address the issue. Oftentimes, a small problem becomes a larger problem if it’s not being addressed at all. There are some ways to know that you need to visit a mechanic.
Check the Codes
Modern vehicles will show you a light when you need garage services in Cranleigh. The light will say “check engine” or “service engine” or something along those lines.
- A service engine light is an indication that the onboard computer has determined something is wrong with your vehicle.
- If you take it to a garage, the first thing they’ll do is read the code with an OBDII reader.
- The computer will hopefully tell the mechanic exactly what is wrong with your car. In some cases, it doesn’t work out that easily.
Other Signs
There are some other signs that something could be wrong besides just a computer code. Many powertrain elements will not inspire a code; for example, brake problems do not generally cause codes. In some of the more modern vehicles they might. You can determine you’re having brake troubles if they make a loud noise when you press the brakes.
If you hear crunching when you make a turn, that’s a sign that your CV joints have gone bad. If you feel shaking when you press on the brakes, that’s a sign that you have warped brake rotors. If anything seems out of the ordinary, take it to a mechanic as soon as possible.
