A car includes a large number of components that can break down and cause all sorts of problems, but most vehicle repairs fall into a handful of categories. These are some of the most common types of vehicle issues that require repairs.
If your car’s brakes wear out, they can create a serious safety hazard for you, members of your family who may ride in the car with you, other drivers, and pedestrians. This is why it’s critical to have your brakes inspected on a regular basis and to get them repaired or replaced as necessary.
Your driving habits can affect how long your brakes will last. If you brake smoothly and do most of your driving on highways, your brakes may last much longer than those of a driver who frequently drives in stop-and-go traffic and slams on the brakes.
A pothole and debris on a roadway can damage a tire. Sometimes a tire will quickly go flat, but in other cases, a slow leak may go unnoticed for a while.
If your tire is damaged, it’s important to put on a spare and get your car to a mechanic to have the damaged tire inspected. It may be possible to fix it, or it may need to be replaced. An automotive professional can also check for other types of damage, such as a bent rim, and make any necessary repairs so you can drive safely.
A car battery typically lasts for several years, but corrosion, extreme weather conditions, and other factors may cause it to wear out faster than usual. If your vehicle’s battery is dead and it needs to be jumped to get the car started, a mechanic can identify the source of the problem and replace the battery if necessary.
