Signs That Your Vehicle Needs a Service

Is your "check engine" or "service engine soon" light on? This is the typical indication that something is wrong with your vehicle. However, this is not the only sign that you should look out for before sending your vehicle to a repair shop. Here's a list of signs that you should be aware of before it's too late:

• Braking
  Any kind of problem that involves your vehicle's brakes are a critical safety issue. If you are hearing any squeaking sounds or if you feel like your pedal is soft, this is a clear sign to bring your vehicle to a repair shop.
• Lacking Acceleration
  If your vehicle is not performing as it used to, it's time for an engine tune-up.
• Vibration
  If you feel like your vehicle is shaking when it is starting, turning, or stopping, you need to talk to a mechanic to diagnose the source of the issue.
• Stalling or Difficulty Starting
  Difficulty in starting the engine could be due to several things such as weak battery, fuel issues, and many more. A mechanic can help you find a solution to this problem.
• Fuel Efficiency
  Is your fuel consumption different from normal? You may have bad sensors or leaky fuel injectors. 
• Shifting
  Vehicles with automatic transmissions should shift gears smoothly. If you start feeling hard shifts or lurching, this could be caused by a transmission problem.
