Frequently Asked Questions
What does a general mechanic do?
A general mechanic is trained to inspect, diagnose and repair a wide range of vehicle issues. This includes servicing brakes, suspension, steering, engines, transmissions, and more. They perform routine maintenance tasks like oil changes and logbook servicing as well as more complex repairs. General mechanics are skilled in using diagnostic tools and follow manufacturer guidelines to keep vehicles running safely and efficiently. Their role is essential in identifying potential issues before they lead to major failures, helping vehicle owners save time and money in the long run.
How often should I take my car to a mechanic?
Most vehicles should be serviced every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometres or every 6 to 12 months, whichever comes first. However, the exact interval can depend on the vehicle’s make and model, driving habits, and manufacturer guidelines. For example, cars used for short trips, heavy towing, or off-road driving may require more frequent maintenance. Staying on top of regular servicing helps ensure safety, maintains fuel efficiency, and can extend the lifespan of the vehicle. Always refer to your logbook for specific service schedules.
What are the signs my car needs mechanical repairs?
Warning signs that your car may need mechanical attention include unusual noises (like grinding or knocking), dashboard warning lights, reduced fuel efficiency, leaks, vibrations while driving, or trouble starting. You may also notice braking issues, steering difficulty, or inconsistent performance. Ignoring these signs can lead to more costly repairs or safety risks. It’s best to have your vehicle inspected as soon as any issue arises, even if it seems minor at first.
