Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my brakes need to be repaired?

There are several signs that indicate your brakes might need attention. Common symptoms include squealing, grinding or screeching noises when applying the brakes, which can suggest worn brake pads. If the brake pedal feels soft or spongy under your foot, or if your car pulls to one side when braking, it could point to hydraulic problems or uneven wear. You may also notice vibrations in the steering wheel or longer stopping distances, both of which suggest potential issues with the brake system. The brake warning light illuminating on your dashboard is another clear sign that you should have your vehicle inspected immediately. Because brakes are vital for safe driving, any unusual changes should be checked by a qualified mechanic as soon as possible to prevent accidents or more costly repairs.
What is the importance of regular oil changes?

Oil changes are one of the simplest yet most crucial parts of vehicle maintenance. Engine oil lubricates internal components, reduces friction and helps keep the engine cool. Over time, oil breaks down and becomes contaminated with dirt, metal particles and other debris, losing its effectiveness. If not changed regularly, dirty oil can cause increased engine wear, reduced performance and even serious damage like engine seizure. Regular oil changes improve fuel efficiency, maintain engine cleanliness and extend the lifespan of your vehicle. Most cars require an oil change every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometres, but it’s always best to follow the schedule outlined in your owner’s manual or recommended by your mechanic.
Why is my car overheating and what should I do?

Overheating can happen when your engine’s cooling system isn’t working properly. Common causes include low coolant levels, a leaking radiator, a broken water pump, a stuck thermostat or clogged coolant passages. If your temperature gauge rises sharply or you see steam coming from under the bonnet, pull over safely as soon as possible and turn off the engine. Continuing to drive an overheating car can cause major damage, including a blown head gasket or cracked engine block. Once stopped, allow the engine to cool completely before opening the bonnet. It’s important to have the cooling system inspected by a qualified mechanic to identify and fix the underlying issue before driving again. Preventative maintenance, like regular coolant checks and radiator inspections, can help avoid overheating problems.
How important are tyre rotations and wheel alignments?

Tyre rotations and wheel alignments are essential for maintaining vehicle safety and performance. Rotating your tyres every 10,000 kilometres helps ensure even wear, which extends tyre life and improves handling. Uneven tyre wear can lead to poor traction, reduced fuel efficiency and increased risk of tyre blowouts. Wheel alignments ensure that your tyres meet the road at the correct angle, which affects how the car handles and how tyres wear over time. Misalignment can cause your vehicle to pull to one side, create vibration in the steering wheel, or result in rapid tyre wear. Keeping up with regular tyre maintenance improves ride comfort, saves you money and enhances overall driving safety.
