How to correctly diagnose your vehicle for repairs
Before you can determine if your car requires repairs, it's important to first analyze the symptoms. These steps will help you diagnose your car properly.

Check engine lights. You should inspect the dashboard lights, such as the engine light indicator and the oil pressure gauge. Also, check the battery light indicator. If any of them have been flashing for several days, it may mean something is wrong with your vehicle.

Examine the treads of the tires. If the tires are worn out, they could cause problems with handling and braking. You should inspect the treads on your wheel. They should be clean, and they should be smooth. It is best to take off the wheels and remove them. Use a flashlight to see how well the treads are worn.

You should always monitor the level brake fluid. Keep track of the brake fluid level in your vehicle. This will ensure that your brakes run smoothly. Low brake fluid levels could cause your brakes to fail when you apply pressure.

Check the suspension system. It is common for vehicles to have a suspension system which absorbs shocks or vibrations. It gives you better control and allows for smoother accelerations and decelerations. If your vehicle has a suspension problem, it might feel wobbly or shake uncontrollably. If you are unsure if your vehicle is suffering from a suspension problem, put weight on the front and rear axles to check the movement.

Examine your steering column. The steering column connects the steering wheel to all other components of the vehicle. Sometimes, steering columns are damaged by accidents. If yours feels loose or shaky, you should replace it.
