Is your vehicle safe for the weekend?

Like any other machine, cars will naturally deteriorate over time. Between routine maintenance checks, you need to pay attention to your car’s performance to stay safe on the road.

With fun, summer weekends around the corner, it’s the perfect time to reevaluate the health of your car.

Head warning signals 

With our busy schedules, it’s easy to disregard warning signals. But ignoring a warning could put you, your passengers, and other drivers at risk.

If a warning light comes up and you’re not sure what it means, it’s best to have a professional mechanic take a look. He’ll fix the issue, allowing you to drive stress-free.

Pay attention to maintenance issues 

Unfortunately, warning lights won’t always catch issues. Here are some of the most important car parts to pay attention to:

  • The brakes: The brakes wear out over time just like any other part of the car. If your car’s brakes start making squeaking or grinding noises, you should take it in for maintenance as soon as possible.
  • The steering wheel: A shaking steering wheel could mean there is a tire/wheel balance issue.
  • The tires: If the tires wear too thin, you run the risk of the tire suddenly losing air. Experiencing a tire blowout on a busy road could cause a serious accident, so it’s important to have your tires rotated every 5,000 miles or so.

As much as you may love your car, there will come a point when it’s no longer practical to keep driving it.
