7 Signs Your Car Needs a Service
Warning lights are not the only clue. These seven signs mean it is time to book your car in.
Modern cars are good at hiding problems until they become expensive. Watch for these signs.
- A warning light — never ignore engine management, oil or brake lights.
- Squealing or grinding brakes — worn pads or discs.
- Poor fuel economy — often filters, plugs or sensors.
- Rough idle or hesitation — ignition or fuel delivery issues.
- Vibrations through the wheel — balancing, alignment or suspension.
- Smoke from the exhaust — blue, white and black smoke all mean different things.
- It has been over 12 months or 10,000 miles since the last service.
