1. Warning Lights on the Dashboard
If you notice any warning lights — especially the engine, oil pressure, or battery light — don’t ignore them.
The Check Engine light means there could be an issue with sensors or engine components.
The Oil Light warns that oil levels are low or the pressure is off.
Ignoring these alerts can cause major engine damage. Visit a service center immediately.
⚙️ 2. Strange Noises or Vibrations
Your car should sound smooth. If you hear grinding, squealing, or knocking noises — it’s a red flag.
Squeaky brakes mean your brake pads are worn out.
Knocking sounds could indicate engine trouble.
Vibrations might mean tyre imbalance or alignment issues.
Always get these checked before they turn into costly repairs.
💨 3. Smoke or Unusual Smell
Smoke or a burning smell is never normal.
White smoke can mean coolant leakage.
Blue smoke means oil is burning.
Burning smells could indicate a clutch or wiring issue.
Stop the car and call for help if you see or smell anything unusual.
⛽ 4. Poor Fuel Efficiency
If your car is using up more fuel than usual, it’s a clear sign something’s off.
Possible causes include:
Dirty air filters
Faulty spark plugs
Tyre pressure imbalance
A quick tune-up can restore your mileage and performance.
🛞 5. Difficulty in Braking or Steering
Your car’s control systems are your safety lifeline.
If you feel your brakes slipping, steering pulling, or the car not responding quickly, it’s time to visit a service center right away.
Delaying can put you — and others on the road — at risk.
🧩 Bonus Tip: Regular Checkups Save Money
Even if your car feels fine, routine servicing every 6 months or 10,000 km (whichever comes first) keeps it healthy and increases resale value.
