Common Things to Check During Mechanical Repair Services

Consider these two different scenarios.

Scenario A: You drive to the mechanic when your car breaks down and spend a huge amount on big changes and repairs!

Scenario B: You remain in contact with mechanical repair services every once in two months and carry out preventative repairs on your vehicle and you spend very little because your vehicle never breaks down much!

Which of the above do you think is the better? If you could save money by planning big monthly auto maintenance sessions, what possibly is the reason that is preventing you from doing that? Cars have one thing in common and that is the symbiotic relationships among all the different parts under the hood. If a component breaks down, it won’t be long before the other parts follow suit. Remember that a well maintained car is always better and safer to drive and cost effective to keep.


OK, so you get the point and you are sold on the idea of regular car servicing, but you are not sure what to check during these repair sessions! Here are a few things that you could check. Feel free to add more things to your list because this is a very basic one and takes care of the most common causes of car breakdowns.


Air Filters

What happens when the air filters get blocked? Nothing much actually, except that you will end up spending way too much on fuel. Dirty driving environments will force the engine to suck in more dust from the road and clog the filters, unless you ensure to get the filter dusted every while in a month or two.


For those who ride through cleaner roads. You need to change the filters after every 6,000 miles or so.

Brakes


What happens when the brakes fail? Well, your car skids and falls into a gorge or you hit an innocent bystander sending him to the grave early! There are worse things that can happen, but you get the idea of what can happen with malfunctioning brakes.

Make sure to get mechanical repair services every three months or earlier to check if the brakes are working perfectly or they need some repairs. This should ideally be done on a more frequent basis, but with newer models you can wait a bit longer than that.

Air Conditioners

Driving on a hot country road with no air conditioner? Great, you should perhaps pay more attention to timely mechanical repair services. These are usually very dependable and do not cause problems, but with mechanical parts you never know when something is going to go loose or get detached. Thus, regular mechanical repair services.

While we are on the cooling section of this article, let us also take a moment to think about the engine coolant. Engine coolants are what we call double edged swords under the hood. Without it, the engine gets toasted, but keeps it longer than 8,000 miles and you will have an acid damage on the critical parts of the fuel intake or something similarly vital.

Engine Oil

Most things in the automobile industry when kept longer turns acidic and causes more harm than any good to the engine or to your pocket. So when you take your car for mechanical repair services, remember to get the oil checked. If it has been longer than 3,000 miles since you last changed the oil, perhaps you should get it done right now.

Apart from all these you might also want to get the electrical checked and tyres threaded if they have started skidding recently.
