In addition to some indispensable knowledge of mechanics, to fix our cars without visiting the repair shop, we should know how to select the right auto parts and really know in detail the process and steps to take. You also need to have the specific tools necessary for each repair. Do you feel capable of this? Manufacturer Warranty
While your car is still under warranty, changing a piece in your own garage can be risky, since you will certainly not be covered if you run into problems. For this reason, if you have a new car, it is not recommended that you repair it at home. Today, most shops that sell car parts offer repairs that respect the norms imposed by the manufacturers, not only at the level of the parts, which are original, but also with regard to the steps followed. These shops follow the indications of the vehicle maintenance manual to the letter. If you have some knowledge about car repair, you can also follow the manual’s advice for some parts, but not all of them. For example, everyone can change an air filter, but to change the timing belt or the brake pads is a different matter; for the latter, it requires removing the wheels, in turn require knowing how to take them off and replace them correctly. Home Tutorials
Replacing a car part can often seem easy, thanks to practical guides that can be found on the Internet. Most tutorials have very precise images, but essential precautions are sometimes overlooked. However, this is not absolutely due to negligence: these tutorials are directed at people that have already made repairs in the past. Car part shops also offer valuable advice and detail the process carefully with lots of images; the temptation to do it yourself is strong. Although most of these professionals emphasize precautions, you run the risk that something unexpected will happen once everything is completely dismantled. Advice
If you want to undertake the repair yourself and thus avoid a trip to the mechanic, try to obtain the official manufacturer’s documents and ensure that you have all the necessary tools at hand. It is preferable to choose a complete kit whenever possible. Do not trust tutorials aimed at a particular model of car, such as the models you already know; they were not made for you and do not mention the necessary precautions. Give priority to advice from your auto parts salesman. Jesse Wallace writes for a digital marketing agency. This article has been commissioned by a client of said agency.
