It’s possible for any part of a car to go wrong, and in most cases, there are multiple ways in which they can go wrong. In that sense, there are an almost infinite number of types of car repairs. Here is a guide to some of the most important to be aware of. Body work This is generally required after an accident of any but the most minor kind. It involves getting rid of dents and generally restoring the exterior of the car to a smoother appearance with no major flaws. Glass A small crack or scratch in your car’s windows can swiftly become a large and expensive problem, particularly if it’s in the windscreen. It’s therefore important to get even minor glass damage repaired as soon as possible. Oil change Advice varies as to how often you should get your car’s oil changed. Consult your manual if you’re unsure, but as a minimum, expect to have to do it at least a couple of times a year. Repairing tires Whether the problem is a slow or fast puncture, or just the stresses of everyday use, keeping your tires in good condition is an essential part of staying safe all year round, but especially in the winter, when snow and ice are likely to be a problem. The battery It’s normal for a car battery to run out after a few years of use. However, replacing it is so simple that many motorists choose to save money by buying a battery and doing it themselves rather than going to garages or car service centres. Problems with headlights or indicator These can be caused by many things: a faulty fuse, a dead bulb or an electrical short. Electrical problems are best left to the experts. However, changing a bulb is another relatively simple job within the capabilities of most motorists. Car interior repairs The upholstery of your seats may not make a difference to how your car functions, but it can make or break the experience of the driver and/or passengers. It is also possible to get your dashboard repaired in order to get rid of scuffs and scratches. Some people choose to do this before selling their old car, as this kind of cosmetic damage can have a disproportionate effect on price.
