How do I Self-check my Car?
Start by inspecting the exterior, looking for any signs of damage, such as dents, scratches, or rust. Ensure that all lights are functioning properly and replace any bulbs that are burnt out. Also, replace tires if you see any signs of uneven wear or damage.
Regularly checking your brakes is important for your vehicle’s safety. Check for wear on the brake rotors and pads. The pads need to be changed if they appear thin or worn out. Next, test the brakes by applying firm pressure to the brake pedal while driving at a low speed. If you hear any grinding or squealing noises, or if the vehicle pulls to one side, it may indicate a brake problem that needs to be addressed.
