Your car might seem fine on the surface, but small warning signs often appear before major issues develop. Ignoring them could lead to expensive repairs or even a breakdown. At Adelaide Autoworks & Crash, we’ve listed five key signs that your vehicle needs a service — sooner rather than later!

1. Strange Noises or Vibrations

Grinding, squealing, or rattling sounds can signal engine or brake issues. Don’t ignore them — have your vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic.

2. Warning Lights on the Dashboard

If the check engine or oil light comes on, it’s your car’s way of saying something’s wrong. Book a service immediately before the issue worsens.

3. Poor Fuel Efficiency

If you’re visiting the petrol station more often, your engine may not be running efficiently due to clogged filters, worn spark plugs, or old oil.

4. Rough or Unstable Idling

Unsteady engine vibrations or rough idling can indicate ignition, fuel, or air intake problems.

5. Difficulty Starting the Engine

Slow or hesitant starts could be linked to battery or ignition faults — both of which need prompt attention.
