Signs Your Car Needs Servicing Your car is a reliable companion, getting you from point
A to point B without much fuss. However, like any piece of machinery, it
requires regular attention and care. Ignoring signs that your car needs
servicing can lead to more significant issues down the road.
At A.M. Engineering, this month’s blog looks at some of the
signs that your car needs servicing. For more information, call us in

Warning Lights on Dashboard Modern cars come equipped with a variety of warning lights
on the dashboard. Don't dismiss these lights as mere suggestions; they're your
car's way of communicating issues.
Whether it's the check engine light, oil pressure warning,
or brake system warning, getting them checked promptly can prevent more
extensive and costly problems.
Unusual Noises Your car has its own language of sounds, and any sudden
change should be investigated. Squeaks, rattles, thumps, or grinding noises
could indicate issues with the brakes, suspension, or other vital components. A
quiet car is a happy car, so pay attention if it starts speaking up.
Vibrations or Pulling If you notice unusual vibrations, especially while braking,
or if your car consistently pulls to one side, it's a clear sign that something
is amiss.
These symptoms could point to brake issues, wheel alignment
problems, or uneven tire wear. Prompt attention can prevent further damage.
Reduced Performance or Efficiency A decrease in fuel efficiency or a noticeable drop in
overall performance, such as sluggish acceleration or difficulty starting the
engine, may indicate issues with the fuel system, spark plugs, or other
components. Regular servicing can help maintain optimal performance and fuel
efficiency.
Strange Smells Unusual odour inside or around your car can be indicative of
problems. A sweet smell could suggest a coolant leak, a burning odour might be
related to the brakes, and a musty smell could indicate issues with the air
conditioning system. Investigate and address these smells promptly.
Worn or Uneven Tyres Examine your tires regularly. If you notice uneven tread
wear, bulges, or other abnormalities, it may be time for a wheel alignment or
tire replacement. Properly maintained tires contribute to better fuel
efficiency and a smoother ride.
