Keeping yourself safe when out on the road is crucial these days, which is why it’s so important to have your vehicle serviced on a regular basis. However, while keeping up to date on your servicing requirements is great, vehicle maintenance doesn’t fit neatly into your servicing routine and issues can begin to occur before your next trip to the garage.

If left to exacerbate, minor issues with your vehicle can turn into major repairs that can leave you significantly out of pocket. Luckily, by being proactive with your vehicle and keeping an eye out for these warning signs, you can get your vehicle to a garage as soon as possible and save yourself on all of that extra hassle.


Engine warning light

Your dashboard is specifically designed to keep you up to date with the state of your vehicle. Connected to dozens of sensors monitoring specific components, if a light on your dashboard turns on, it shouldn’t be ignored.

One of the more worrying lights on your dashboard is the engine light. If you notice this little yellow light coming on, it’s essential to have your vehicle taken in for a service as soon as possible, as it could be an indicator of a range of issues.


Unusual sounds

A strange sound that you haven’t noticed before should always be a cause for concern as these can be clear signals that a component in your vehicle is not working as it should. Noises such as squealing when you brake, the sound of metal on metal, a louder than usual exhaust or a generally uneven engine noise are all signs of a significant issue so don’t ignore them.


Reduced ride comfort

For those of us who rely on our vehicle every day, it’s not unusual to get a real feel for how it operates. Luckily this makes it much easier to notice when something seems off when it comes to your usual driving experience.

If you’re noticing that your drive is becoming more difficult or less comfortable, like the vehicle feeling low to the floor for example, you should get your car to the nearest specialist as soon as possible.
