Just as we maintain our body, we also need to maintain our vehicles. Supplying food (fuel) is not sufficient. We also need to look after them regularly and check if any part needs any kind of replacement or repair. This results in smooth and efficient driving of the car.



It is rightly said that when there is no compromise, there is no fear. By this, we mean that we have to maintain the dynamicity in accordance with the outside world. The same also holds for machines (car, bikes etc) that drive us. If we don't look after them, they would do the same and suddenly our fast moving life would come to a standstill.

Troubleshooting the problems of the machine is the key to good auto repair. Proper trouble shooting results in elimination of many potential issues. Replacing or repairing an auto part only to find out that it wasn't the actual cause is a big waste of money. It is always advised that one should start troubleshooting in a very simple manner focusing on the most common problems in auto repair. It can save a considerable sum that is spent in automotive service given to expert mechanics, especially from Fremont, Hayward and East Bay. Troubleshooting can be broadly categorized into ?Basic? and ?Electric troubleshooting?. They are explained below.

Basic Troubleshooting: The non-electrical parts of the motor come under this category.

Brakes: Although it is not impossible to troubleshoot the brakes, it is still hard to diagnose. It can be the pedal, which is very hard to press, or the low brake pressure that results in many branching problems, troubleshoot can easily figure out what is wrong with them.

Car doesn't start: it is more of a test of patience than a problem. One is always unhappy when his car engine does not roar off. These are some of the reasons.

Warning Lights: Through eyes we see and through lights we drive. It is very important to keep a good watch on them because at times they can put us in dangerous situations resulting in auto repair.

Electrical Problems

General Electrical problems: It is a very discouraging task for a mechanic to try to troubleshoot an electrical problem. Compared to good old days, today's cars have complicated circuits and it is very much difficult even to trouble shoot a small head light problem. The time a mechanic used to take to troubleshoot an electrical problem in old days is almost equivalent to half the time they take to find a problem in these days. Such complicated is the machine. There is ignition unit, computers and control unit. It is always advised not to connect the jumper cables with the key on during troubleshooting.

Plug wire Problem: Though spark plug wires are durable, a careful inspection is always recommended to avoid many other problems which are very common in auto repair.

So, don't be skeptical if you feel that a small repair from your end can fix the car and save you from the bills of your mechanics. At the same time, if you find the trouble to be major, it's better to opt for expert's help.
