🚗🔧 A REMINDER FROM MARK’S CARS & REPAIRS
To all the parents out there — every now and then, take your son or daughter’s car for a drive, preferably at random times.
Young drivers may not always recognise when a new noise, vibration, or change in the way the vehicle is driving could indicate a problem.
Recently, we identified a bad wheel bearing that could have become a serious safety issue if it had completely failed while the vehicle was being driven.
It only takes a few minutes to take their vehicle for a drive and pay attention to how it sounds and feels. Check the tyres, listen for unusual noises, keep an eye on the warning lights and gauges, and make sure everything feels right.
Especially with younger drivers, sometimes the best safety check is simply Mum or Dad taking the car for a spin.
A small problem caught today could prevent a breakdown — or something much worse — tomorrow.
