What are the signs that you should bring your vehicle to a mechanic?

It can often be difficult to tell if your car needs to be taken to a mechanic, but by monitoring your vehicle’s performance you can save money by getting issues taken care of early.

A lot of automotive problems can be detected by using your senses to determine if something is wrong.

Feeling

Do you feel anything wrong with your car?  This could include new vibrations, shaking or shimmying of the car while driving.

Hearing

Your vehicle could present unique sounds when it is time to visit a mechanic.  This could include clicking and clacking noises, squealing and squeaking, noises when turning or clunking noises, or anything that sounds like leaking air.

Sight

When your vehicle is in need of a mechanic you may see some problems, such as unusual lights on the vehicle, leaking fluids, or flickering electronics.

Smell

If your vehicle smells like leaking gas or oil, or like anything is burning, it is a good sign that you should bring it to a mechanic.

If your vehicle presents any of these issues, give K & K Automoto a call at (847) 451-1575 and let our team help you out!
