When a car breaks down, your heart skips a beat. You have to pull over and try to find someone who can repair your car. Unfortunately, finding the right mechanic is not easy. If not, these tips should help you handle car repair problems more competently in the future.



Ensure your car has an emergency kit. A battery charger, tire changing tools and an extra can of gas are just a few of the items to have on hand. Do not forget blankets and a good flashlight with some batteries.



Don't neglect your regular maintenance. These scheduled visits are not there just to get more money from you. They are designed to make sure maintenance is done on specific components before you end up stranded on the side of the road. While you might be able to skip one or two and be okay, the damage will shorten the life of your car.



Do not hover over the technician while they are trying to do work on your car. It is important that you spend time with them to explain what the problem is with your vehicle, but once you have done that, leave them alone so they can do their job without any interruptions.



Use your friends as referrals before you choose an auto repair shop. Personal recommendations are usually honest and forthright. Still, you should do some research on the shops they recommend. At least look for online reviews of those recommendations.



Make sure to ask the mechanic who is about to work on your car whether or not he is certified. If the answer is no, leave right away and get someone else to do the repairs. If he says that he is, ask for some type of proof so you know this true.



Look for a good auto repair shop before you actually need auto repairs. This is all about being proactive. When you need them, it's a major annoyance to have to spend a ton of time searching. It leads to you making poor choices due to the bad situation you're already in. By choosing a repair shop prior, you can seriously consider your options.



Water Pump



Look out for the wet puddles beneath your car. Hue and thickness will let you determine the problem. If it is pastel blue, yellow-green or neon-orange, it could be an antifreeze leak as a result of bad hose, dripping radiator, or water pump, or even an overheated engine. Darkish brown or black oily puddles can mean a detrimental gasket or seal causes the leak. Reddish colored oily messes are frequently due to a power-steering or transmission fluid leak. Distinct puddles usually are not to bother with, because they might be moisture build-up or condensation from the automobile.



Working on your car can be an extremely rewarding experience. Not only do you save money, but it feels great as well. Be sure and use the advice mentioned in the article above the next time something on your car needs fixing. While it may be scary at first, the end result is priceless.
