At some point, you'll need to take your car in for repairs or at least general maintenance. As many as 85% of all auto services conducted are general repairs, according to Gitnux. You don't want to take a car on the road if it's not functioning at optimum capacity. Here are signs you need auto repair.

1. Brake Issues

Proper working brakes are essential to driver safety. You can't stop your car without them. Even if your brakes are working but not at full capacity, they can still cause an accident. After all, if your brake reactions are too slow, it could take too long for you to come to a full stop and create a collision. Sometimes, you must stop unexpectedly, such as if a person or animal runs in front of the car.

2. Tire Pressure

How do the tires feel when you drive? Note the tire pressure, which can begin to decrease with age. The average lifespan of a quality tire is about five to six years in our experience. Otherwise, even if you fully inflate them, they may not reach the full pressure that they should.

3. Poor AC Flow

When driving in your car in the middle of winter or summer, you want to be as comfortable as possible. That's why a functioning AC system in your vehicle is a must. Otherwise, those long transits during a snowstorm or a hot summer day may be unbearable. Don't forget that many people suffer from heat-related illnesses every year. Many tragedies have happened because a child was locked in a hot car for too long. Prevent getting a cold or heat stroke by taking your car in for auto repair when your AC unit is no longer working.

4. Broken Tail Lights

It's illegal to drive with a broken tail light in most places. Your tail lights are safety features that keep the road lit when driving at night or in inclement weather. It's a safety feature for both you and drivers or pedestrians in the front or back of you. A simple fix can ensure you drive safely and avoid getting pulled over for a fine.
