Having car trouble? Here are 7 signs your auto needs to be checked

Squeaking or squealing when brakes are engaged

Auto 101 -- your safety is the No. 1 priority.

Car trouble can turn up at any moment, but it’s up to you to take care of it before it takes a turn for the worse.

Regularly check your auto for wear and tear, and be sure to keep your eyes and ears open for any sounds or activity out of the ordinary - squeaky brakes, rumbling, shaking or knocking.

Caliber Auto Care, formerly Service First Automotive, which is expanding into the San Antonio area, has seven recommendations on when it’s time to see an auto care expert regarding your vehicle.

Get your auto checked, if you notice the following:

  • Decrease in fuel economy
  • Increase in auto emissions
  • Uneven wear and tear on tires
  • Poor traction
  • Steering wheel vibration
  • The vehicle pulls to the left or right while driving
  • Squeaking or squealing when brakes are engaged

If you need to get your auto looked at, finding an auto care service that will place the utmost importance on auto care is essential.
