How do I find a good mechanic?

Taking care of your car is important, but the person taking care of it has just as much importance too. Although it may be hard to find a mechanic that you trust, there is always a way! Try asking a few of your friends and family who they take their cars to. If a mechanic’s name comes up more than once you could be onto a winner! Another way is to actually take your car on its next scheduled service to the mechanic. While it’s running at its best, it’s better to try it now before something goes wrong.

What car terms should I know before getting my car fixed?

When you go to the mechanic, it’s always best to go with some terminology you know and easily understand. Backing yourself up with some knowledge can help the technician figure out how to fix your car as well as prevent you from getting ripped off. The terms below can help explain what you hearing/feeling from your car:

• Backfire: A gunshot-like sound that comes from the engine or tailpipe
• Hesitation: A brief loss of power upon acceleration
• Shimmy: A side-to-side motion that can be felt through the tyres and/or steering wheel
• Sluggish: How a car feels when it’s not accelerating smoothly or strongly

There are also car parts and services you should remember before the mechanic reminds you:

• Synthetic engine oil – This oil can last longer in your car, and can be a lot cheaper compared to other oils as it needs to be changed less.
• Brake pads – These are rubber pads that help the car stop. They often need to be changed, especially if you tend to slam your brake at last minute.
• Wheel alignment – This is often done when you get new tyres fitted on your car. It’s always best to check with the mechanic if they’ve done an alignment rather than believing they already have.

The 4 most common reasons for a car breakdown 

Everyone who has a vehicle has or will experience an inconvenient vehicle breakdown at some point in their life. Unfortunately, vehicles and their components will always break or wear out and need updating to keep them running smoothly. So, let’s take a look at the 4 most common reasons for car breakdown and what to look for to avoid it; 

Flat or faulty battery

A flat or faulty battery is the most common cause of car breakdown. This is because, over time, batteries wear out and will need to be replaced after a few years. If the battery has worn out due to age, it will rarely give an indication it’s about to die, the vehicle will just not start. A flat battery can be accelerated if lights are left on for an extended period of time when stationary, leaving the car unused for a while or only being used for short journeys which doesn’t give the battery enough time to charge. With a faulty battery, however, there are some signs to look for to detect a problem, which could be a defective component and will need to be replaced. For example, taking longer than usual to start or when a warning light is on the dashboard when driving. 

Misfuelling

Filling a vehicle with the wrong fuel is a more common occurrence than some might think. According to a recent report by the RAA, on average, around 7,500 incidents of misfuelling occur in Australia each year. Each service station colour and label their bowsers differently, so it can be easy to do if you’re filling up tired after a long day at work, driving a different car than usual, in a rush or generally not paying attention, and that quick mistake could end up being an expensive one. If you happen to make this mistake, it is vital not to start the engine and drive away; it could end up costing a lot of money if you do. Depending on the type of vehicle, without starting the engine, there is a good chance only the fuel system will need to be drained and filter replaced. If the car has been driven after this mistake, it could turn into an expensive fix as you will most likely need the fuel and filter system replaced, as well as the engine and the mechanics connected. 

Tyre damage

A flat tyre or puncture is usually a result of running over an unavoidable sharp object. Unfortunately, no matter how careful you are, there is always random debris in the road, and you usually don’t know about it until your tyre goes flat without notice. This one is generally unavoidable until it’s too late; however, it is always best to check your tyres over regularly to ensure there are no foreign objects sticking from your wheels. Poorly maintained tyres, however, will result in more issues such as a blowout which you do not want when travelling at high speeds. To avoid this, ensure your tyre pressure and the condition of the tyres are checked over regularly, and the tread depth is at a legal level. If you notice uneven wearing of the tyres, this could be a sign the wheels aren’t aligned properly and will need to be corrected. 

Electrical problem/ Alternator faults

Alternators charge the battery, and if this fails, the battery will soon go dead trying to run the vehicle on its own. This is generally either an electrical fault or general wear and tear over time. There are early warning signs which you can look out for if this is the case such as dim headlights, squealing sound from under the hood or if a warning light shows when the car is idle, this shows the system is no longer charging. Starter motor faults can also stop your vehicle in its tracks, although these are tough and can last for thousands of miles, they do fail eventually. If you notice grinding noises when starting the engine or the engine starts slower than usual, this could be the issue and will need to be checked over by a mechanic. 

How to avoid issues?

To avoid your car breaking down unexpectedly, your vehicle should be serviced regularly at the date recommended in the logbook. Even if there appears to be nothing wrong at the time this could help prevent issues occurring if caught early. Listen and pay attention to changes in the vehicle. If you notice vibrating, struggling to start or strange noises, this could be the beginning of an issue and is best to get checked out before it’s too late and has the potential to cost you more money to get fixed.
