Description

Let's face it. No matter how vigorous your car care methods are, a problem could arise every now and then. Even the best cars, and the best car owners, have to deal with miscellaneous car troubles.

If you run into car-related issues, it's never wise to ignore them. Getting it fixed at the onset can save you time and money in the long run. It's imperative to consider your safety, and the safety of your passengers too.

Getting your routine service done on time is just one aspect of proper car maintenance. Despite that, issues could still arise. That's why the trusty auto service experts at Service My Car have compiled this list.

In this list of the 8 most common car problems, we look at potential causes, and as always, offer solutions. Read on to know what the best methods of tackling the most common car troubles are.

1 – A faulty engine
The engine module consists of a plethora of moving parts. Though all these moving parts help the engine function efficiently, you could still run into issues.

One of the most common engine-related issues is engine sputtering or engine misfiring. If you find yourself dealing with such an issue, don't hesitate to give Service My Car a shout. Our comprehensive car engine repair will ensure your engine, and car, gets back to optimal performance levels.

2 – Subpar fuel economy
Like the engine module, there are several components in the fuel system. As long as the engine is running properly, your fuel consumption rates stay at an ideal level.

Once the fuel system parts wear out, you may notice poor fuel economy. It can be anything from the fuel filter to the air filter. The best way to deal with this is to be proactive when it comes to getting your periodic car service done.

Service My Car offers tailormade service packages that provide the utmost convenience for all your car servicing needs.

3 – Miscellaneous warning lights
An illuminated warning sign on the dashboard is one of the most common issues. This could be anything from the check engine light to the battery failure light.

Regardless of what light you come across, it's best to get in touch with Service My Car at once. Our team of expert auto mechanics will carry out car scanning and diagnostics to identify, and fix the issue.

4 – A dead car battery
As we've stated before, most car batteries last for around 3 years. If you're dealing with a dead battery within this period, there could be several factors.

It's typically caused as a result of reduced amps, decreasing its ability to sustain a charge. Other reasons range from damaged alternators, to issues with the temperature sensor, and so on.

If you're facing a flat battery, and are in need of a car battery replacement, Service My Car can assist you.

5 – A failing timing belt
If you happen to hear a ticking sound coming from your car engine, it's probably a failing timing belt. Since the timing belt is attached by various pulleys, it can wear out with extensive use.

As a result, a worn-out timing belt starts to produce ticking sounds. If you're hearing this while driving, it's best to get an expert to inspect your timing belt.

The best timing belt experts are found at Service My Car. You can get a hassle-free timing belt replacement by requesting a quote today.

6 – A flat tyre
Flat tyres are typically a result of striking a sharp object. However, it's possible that simple wear and tear can cause such issues. You're advised to get your tyres rotated periodically to avoid extensive wear and tear.

If you still end up facing such an issue, Service My Car can help you get back on the road in no time. Our roadside assistance services include swift flat tyre assistance.

7 – A slippery auto transmission
If maintained properly, an auto transmission module should sustain for over 300,000km without issues. Since there are several components in the transmission system, a failure in any of them can cause slippage.

If you face transmission slippage or your gears aren't shifting smoothly, it's best to get an inspection done at once. Service My Car offers unparalleled car transmission repair to fix any issues that persist with your transmission module.

8 – A jittery steering wheel
There are myriad issues when it comes to a jittery steering wheel. However, from our experience, the most common issue is wheel misalignment.

One of the tell-tale signs of wheel misalignment is a vibrating steering wheel, especially on turns. If you're still unsure, it doesn't hurt to get an expert's opinion on what might be causing the problem.

Book a wheel alignment service at Service My Car and get back on the road with smooth steering today.

In summary, all cars require periodic car maintenance to function properly. You can be proactive by getting support services like oil changes, wheel alignments, etc. done. Yet, various other issues may arise.

The best practice in such scenarios is to have a trusty car workshop in hand. Service My Car is a modern automotive solution that gives you access to the region's best workshops.

How does a car receive a substantial force to drive its four wheels? Of course, the engine generates the necessary mechanical energy. However, the transmission empowers your vehicle to manage the force an engine generates while driving at varying speeds.

Generally, cars have two types of transmission - manual and automatic. A transmission system consists of several components to transfer power from the engine to wheels. In the case of a manual transmission, a transmission's significant parts are the clutch pedal and a shifter.
However, some other components work behind the scene. A transmission system is quite sensitive, and even a simple issue may wreak havoc. Your car can not tolerate even minor wear to the transmission system.

Nevertheless, it's vital to know how to diagnose any kind of car transmission failure. We bring you a list of significant transmission issues to enable you to take proactive steps and stay away from trouble.

A lack of response from the engine

A well-maintained car's engine usually responds to the transmission with a high level of precision. A faulty transmission may hamper the process as you sense a sluggish response while driving your car.

In case you deal with a delay in the response while shifting gears, there could be a sudden rise in RPM. It hints at a cause of concern in the transmission system.

Having trouble shifting gears or staying in one gear

Your transmission should be smooth enough to facilitate the gear shifting, and rigid enough to hold the shifter in a particular gear. If you find yourself with an unresponsive gear shifting (often with a grinding sound), it could result in shifted gear slips during the drive.

This also hints at something seriously wrong with your car's transmission, such as low transmission fluid or a worn clutch plate. A damaged valve body, especially in an automatic transmission, might be the reason.

However, you should seek assistance for a transmission inspection by the experts at Service My Car for comprehensive car maintenance.

Hearing abnormal sounds

Worn components cause a lot of trouble. If you hear anything like buzzing, humming or whining sounds while operating your transmission, take quick action without any delay.

A grinding noise hints at a serious issue with your gear system. These tell-tale signs warn you to prevent unpleasant consequences.

At Service My Car, we enable you a safe commute by offering cost-effective car transmission repair.

Unusual clutch dragging

This typically happens when your car's clutch finds it hard to disengage from the engine, especially in manual transmission, even after a gear shift.Such an event often produces a severe grinding sound to highlight that something is not good with your transmission.

Just visit Service My Car if you experience such an issue frequently to escape expensive car repairs.

Noisy vibration while idling

Generally, most hints are gauged during the drive. In this case, your car generates a noisy vibration while it is idling with its engine on.It indicates potential issues with the engine. However, the loose bearing or the gear teeth in a car's transmission might be the issue behind such sounds.

Besides, your car can be low on transmission fluid due to any reason such as a clogged transmission oil filter. If you don't know which way to turn, head to Service My Car. We are the one-stop solution for your car health, including transmission filter services.

Engine light alert

Our cars are equipped with a warning system that often flashes as a light at the dashboard in case of any trouble. A blinking light indicates an alert as the sensors detect even a slight issue.
Often many people ignore such issues until they encounter damage. Modern vehicles are equipped with intelligent systems that quickly inform you about trouble.

However, it is essential to keep an attentive approach to keep your car's transmission in the best condition with Service My Car.

Burnt transmission fluid

Having an eye over the car's transmission fuel is the key to maintaining it for a long time. You can check out the level as well as the condition of the transmission fuel with the help of a dipstick.

If you find a low level of transmission fluid or a burnt condition, your transmission could have an issue. However, it is feasible to locate a proficient service such as Service My Car as we deal with your car service, including gearbox overhaul.

Abnormal smells and driving experiences

A burning smell from your cars' transmission system often highlights something serious, whether a burnt fluid or worn components. While a strange experience such as strong vibration or jerk, sluggish acceleration hints at something unusual that may need urgent attention.

In this case, your car is signalling something unusual. Nonetheless, it will be wise to bring your vehicle to Service My Car to keep unnecessary hustle at bay.

Unnecessary fluid leakage

There is a range of fluids that helps your car drive smoothly. In the case of transmission fluid, you may notice leakage of slight red lubrication. However, a fluid leakage will not go unnoticed. You can gauge your fluid level by a dipstick that is usually attached to the transmission area.

Even though cars rely on every component to provide a smooth ride, the transmission has a lot to do while you actual drive. It allows you to keep a check on the engine to regulate your car.
However, most transmission issues are experienced when you hit the road. You just need to have sharp attention whether you are shifting gear or idling.

Service My Car would like to help you to keep your car's transmission intact. Whether you just need a fluid change during a car service or an entire car transmission programming, we do it all.
