Types of mechanic services
Rego checks
All cars need to undergo an annual safety check to make sure they can stay on the road, and you need to have a certified mechanic examine your car for this. Even if you don't want anyone tampering with your fine work, this is something you can't avoid.
Tyre and wheel checks
As well as the legal requirement for tyre tread, the more worn your tires are, the less grip they have on the road and the less control you have over your car. Another reason that steering might seem off is an imbalanced wheel alignment, something that many mechanics can check and fix accordingly.
Brakes and suspension checks
One common cause for ill aligned wheels is your suspension not working as it should. This check, along with a vital one to make sure your brakes are working properly, is one that should be done if you have even the tiniest suspicion that something is wrong.
While many of us like to tinker under the bonnet of our car, others struggle with anything more advanced than a trip to the service station. If you need help keeping your car roadworthy, it's important to choose a mechanic that you trust.
