Preventative Maintenance Is Key
Here at Scruggs, our motto is ‘Do The Right Thing.’ And one of the ways we do that is by prioritizing the three C’s: clients, cars, and our community. Part of our contribution is ensuring our customers and community understand as much as possible regarding their vehicle’s needs as situations arise. So, with that said, there are three main components a vehicle needs to run efficiently or at all: gas, oil, and electricity. And many people are stunned when they figure out just how much is governed by electricity. From the onboard computer system to power steering all the way down to the ABS braking system, many systems and add-ons only work when a vehicle’s electrical system is in peak condition. That means if something happens to your vehicle’s power grid, it could render the car unusable until it’s fixed. That is why having a professional monitoring things via preventative maintenance is crucial.
But, things happen. Sometimes, emergencies and issues simply cannot be avoided. That is why you need to know what types of symptoms arise when a vehicle’s electrical system begins to fail. The easiest issue to spot is battery problems. If your car won’t turn over when you crank it, it could mean a new battery is needed. Or, it could be a blown fuse. If your dashboard lights or headlights flicker and dim the faster you go in your vehicle, that’s a major sign that something is wrong. It isn’t just about what you see, however. It’s about what you hear. Your ears will greatly help you because many electrical failures come with sounds. Why? Well, many electrical components within your vehicle are controlled by solenoids and motors, which make these parts vulnerable to odd and otherwise noisy sounds whenever they begin to wear down and approach failure.
