    A car is one of the most important investments you’ll make in your life. You’ll have to shell out a large amount of money and spend years improving your credit score just so you can afford to buy one. However, for you to maximize your investment, it’s not enough that you’re financially ready for the purchase; you should also be able to regularly maintain its condition.

    Regardless of the year, make, and model, your car won’t continue to perform well if you don’t pay attention to its maintenance requirements. A car is made up of different parts, and all of these parts should be in tiptop condition to ensure that your car functions efficiently on the road without compromising your safety as a driver.

    Noticing the signs listed below should prompt you to seek the help of a European car service or other car professionals as these can indicate that your car needs repair or maintenance works:

    1.         Poor Braking Performance

    The quality of your car’s braking system can make a significant difference between avoiding a road accident and a potential tragedy. A well-maintained braking system will not only make it very easy for you to drive as it can also become your lifesaver when you’re on the road.

    If you hear squealing sounds whenever you step on your brakes, have professionals diagnose and fix the problem. This problem is usually caused by worn out brake pads underneath the pad surface of the metal of your brakes. Continuing to use a car with a defective braking system can produce unwanted heat and reduce your car’s stopping power. This can result in disasters and serious accidents.

    Aside from squealing brakes, you should also have your car repaired when you notice that your braking system feels spongy and weak. A malfunctioning or damaged master cylinder that is responsible for putting hydraulic pressure into your brakes once you step on it, might be the culprit of these problems.

    2.         Excessive Vibration While Driving

    As mentioned, your car comprises different parts that work interdependently with each other. Feeling vibrations whenever you turn on your car is a normal response indicating that these parts are working and functioning. However, if you experience excessive vibration hours after turning on your car, that’s another story.

    Experiencing excessive vibration while driving is a tell-tale sign that you should have your car repaired. Excessive vibrations in cars are caused by damaged brakes or suspension systems. Leaving this problem unaddressed can lessen your control over your car and increase your susceptibility to severe road accidents.

    3.         New Or Strange Noises

    Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to be a professional to determine the overall condition of your car. Usually, you just need to rely on your senses to accomplish this task. Aside from paying attention to the vibration produced by your car whenever you turn it on, take note if you’re hearing any new or strange noises, as well. Any recurring or new noises can usually mean that your car has developed problems in its engines, or some of its parts are loose.

    For example, if you always hear squealing noises whenever you drive your car, this can mean that your engine has low fluids. Continuing to drive this car can create friction and damage other parts of the engine.

    Once you notice any new or strange noises, have your car repaired right away. Professionals can fix the problem so it won’t affect other parts of your car.

    4.         Excessive Smoke Coming From Under The Hood

    Contrary to popular belief, seeing smoke coming out of your car isn’t a normal response. Regardless of how old your model is, your car should never produce smoke under its hood or from its exhaust. Seeing smoke coming from the hood can mean that your car is currently overheating and can severely damage other parts of your engine once you continue to use it. If you see smoke coming out from the exhaust, your car might have an oil leak, which can eventually drain your engine.

    If you notice any of these problems, regardless of how little or minimal the smoke is, have your car checked by professionals right away. These problems can adversely affect other parts of your car, such as your exhaust pipes and coolant.

    Work With The Pros

    Regular car maintenance is a cost-effective investment because this can warrant safety, better gas mileage, and longer lifespan of your car. Once done properly, regular car maintenance can also slow down the depreciation of your car, allowing you to earn a higher return from it.

    For you to experience all of the benefits of car repair or maintenance, make sure that you’re only working with experienced contractors. Paying for their services can become your ticket to driving a high-performing and safe car!

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
