Why is my check engine light on?

Your check engine light can be triggered by many issues, such as a loose gas cap, oxygen sensor failure, or misfiring spark plugs. A diagnostic scan will reveal the exact cause.

Does using the AC affect fuel consumption?

Yes. The air conditioning system uses power from the engine, which slightly increases fuel consumption—especially during city driving or in hot climates.

How often should I change my engine oil?

Typically every 5,000 to 10,000 kilometers (or 3,000 to 6,000 miles), depending on your car model and oil type.

What causes brake squeaking or grinding?

Brake noises may indicate worn brake pads, rust on rotors, or debris in the braking system. Have them inspected.

Why is my steering wheel shaking while driving?

This could be due to unbalanced tires, worn suspension, or brake rotor warping.

How do I know if my battery is failing?

Signs include slow engine crank, dim lights, and the need for frequent jump-starts. Most batteries last 3–5 years.

My engine is overheating—what should I do?

Turn off the AC, turn on the heater, pull over safely, and check coolant. If the problem persists, don’t continue driving.

When should I change coolant (antifreeze)?

Every 2–5 years, depending on vehicle make. Old coolant can cause corrosion or overheating.

Is tire rotation necessary?

Yes. Rotating your tires every 8,000–10,000 km extends life and improves safety.

What does scheduled maintenance include?

Oil changes, brake checks, tire rotation, fluid top-ups, and diagnostics.
