Some vehicle issues can wait, but some require immediate attention. If the serious problems aren’t attended to, they could lead to serious vehicular damage or be dangerous to yourself and others. These 10 things should never be ignored when it comes to servicing your vehicle.

Red Dashboard Lights

Dashboard lights are color-coded to reflect severity, and red lights require immediate servicing. These lights include low oil and temperature warnings.

Puddles Under Your Car

Green, black, or golden viscous fluid are telltale signs you have a leak in a crucial area of your car. Have it checked immediately.

Trouble Going Up Hills

If your vehicle isn’t driving with the same force uphill as usual, it could be a sign of multiple problems. Quick servicing will find the root of the trouble.

Brakes Pulling

If your brakes are pulling your vehicle to one direction instead of slowing it in a straight line, take it in to Courtesy Chevrolet Buick GMC for a check-up.

Listen

Noises can warn you of problems within your vehicle you might not see with your eyes. Trust your ears; if it sounds irregular, have an expert take a look inside.

Trust Your Nose

Bad smells are another surefire sign that something is wrong in your car. If you smell anything burning or any chemical odors, immediately pull over and call for help.

Loose Parts

Minor collisions can loosen parts within the car. That can lead to danger for you and other vehicles, especially at high speeds. Secure all loose components.

Car Pulling

If you find your vehicle pulling to one side while driving, take it in for servicing ASAP, as it could indicate the erosion of steering components or misaligned wheels.

Tire Pressure

Always do a quick check of your tires before driving. Low pressure requires an air fill-up so you don’t puncture the tires or damage the wheel underneath.

Weak Lights

Regularly check the brightness of the headlights. If they begin to dim, replace them. Burnt-out lights can lead to tickets or collisions.

If your car needs any emergency or routine servicing, bring it to the Courtesy GMC of Ruston service center. We’ll get you back on the road.
