Frequently Asked Questions

Ask a Question

What are common signs my car needs mechanical repairs?

Common signs include strange engine noises, reduced power, fluid leaks, difficulty starting, vibrations, dashboard warning lights and abnormal exhaust smoke. Other symptoms may involve poor fuel economy, problems shifting gears, uneven braking or changes in steering response. These indicators suggest that components may be worn, damaged or failing. Ignoring early warning signs can lead to further damage and more expensive repairs. A professional inspection is the best way to confirm the issue and determine the appropriate fix. Even minor problems can worsen quickly if not addressed promptly.
Can I still drive my car if it’s making a noise?

Unusual noises—such as knocking, grinding, squealing or hissing—can indicate mechanical problems that may compromise safety or lead to further damage. Continuing to drive without diagnosing the cause can result in worsening conditions or breakdowns. Noises related to the engine, brakes, suspension or exhaust system often require urgent attention. While some noises may be minor, it’s best to have the vehicle inspected as soon as possible. Identifying the source of the sound early can help avoid more serious repairs and ensure the vehicle remains safe and roadworthy.
What’s involved in diagnosing mechanical problems?

Mechanical issues are typically diagnosed using a combination of visual inspection, road testing and digital diagnostic tools. Mechanics may scan the vehicle’s onboard computer for error codes and assess performance through sound, movement and response tests. Components such as belts, hoses, sensors and fluids are also checked for wear or failure. The process helps identify both the primary fault and any related damage. Accurate diagnosis is essential before beginning repairs, as it ensures the problem is addressed effectively. A thorough inspection can also prevent misdiagnosis and reduce unnecessary part replacements.
What types of repairs are considered mechanical?

Mechanical repairs involve any work related to the car’s engine, transmission, brakes, suspension, steering, cooling system, exhaust or drivetrain. Common examples include replacing brake pads, fixing engine misfires, repairing coolant leaks or resolving issues with the transmission. These repairs address the vehicle’s performance and safety systems, as opposed to cosmetic fixes. Mechanical repairs may be preventative or reactive, depending on whether the issue was identified during regular servicing or due to a breakdown. Timely attention to mechanical faults helps maintain roadworthiness and prevent further complications.
