GARAGE

Car repairs can burn a big hole in your pocketbook. But, you would be happy to know that a lot of such

tasks can be performed without you needing to be an expert. Yes, it’s possible.

So, what are the most common car problems which you can solve on your own?

Problem # 1: Flat tires:

This is the most easiest to repair. Make use of the spare tire you have in your car. You’ll notice that this tire contains within it, a car

jack, which has a built-in lever and a lug nut ratchet as well. Put the jack under your car on a spot which does not have any plastic

pieces. Pump up your car slowly and detach the nuts. You can now put on the spare tire. Tighten the nuts and lever down the jack.

Problem # 2: Dead batteries:

This is a more critical issue. When your car does not start at all, or starts only after a lot of struggle, known that the battery has died. You can

test a car battery at home if you have a tester or charger. Or else, plan to seek garage services in Oxford. Experts will tell you if the issue is due

to the battery or the alternator. Usually, a battery dies when there’s corrosion. Cleaning it off with a metal brush solves the issue. To revive a

dead car battery, open the negative terminal and then the positive terminal. Check ground wires and replace them if needed. Problem solved.

Problem # 3: Headlights out:

If your car headlights have gone out, buy new bulbs and fit them. Google for the type of bulb you need as per your car model.

Remember to turn off the vehicle while repairing head lights. Refitting bulbs in cars is as easy as doing it at your residence.

Problem # 4: Noisy belts:

If you hear your squeaking now and then, know that there are problem belts in your vehicle. In fact, a belt like this is usually easy to

locate. You’ll observe frays and cracks. Replace this immediately. And yes, you’ll want to remember how your belt was put in its

place originally. Take a picture or refer to a diagram while repairing noisy belts.

Spark plugs are the elements that ignite the combustion in car engines. You’ll have problems in starting your car if these elements are

faulty. There will be frequent misfiring while driving and the engine will have to work harder. Make use of the magnetic deep sockets

in such situations. Pull out the cover, unwind the wire, and put a new one in its place. Your work is all done.
