Introduction

Many car owners delay major service, thinking it’s an unnecessary expense. But your car often gives early warnings—here’s how to recognize them before bigger trouble strikes.

Warning Signs Your Car Needs Major Service

• 1. Dashboard Warning Lights: ABS, check engine, oil, or battery lights should never be ignored.
• 2. Reduced Performance: Sluggish acceleration, poor mileage, or stalling indicate fuel or ignition issues.
• 3. Unusual Noises: Grinding, squealing, or knocking noises from engine, brakes, or suspension need urgent checks.
• 4. Leaks & Smells: Oil, coolant, or fuel spots under the car, or burning/rubber smells, mean there’s a leak or overheating.
• 5. Vibrations & Steering Issues: Vibration in the steering or whole car at speed, or car pulling to one side, usually means tyre, suspension, or alignment problems.

Don’t Ignore These Symptoms!

Catching these signs early can save your engine, transmission, or brakes from total failure. If you spot any of them, schedule a major service with goClutch right away.

Conclusion

Prevention is always better (and cheaper) than cure. Major service is your car’s health insurance—don’t skip it!
