    What To Do When Your Car is Out of Action

    It’s one of the worst things that can happen to a motoring enthusiast, but at some point in your life, you’re going to experience a period where your car is out of action and needs some time out to get repaired by a mechanic.

    Hopefully, this period doesn’t last very long, and you can get behind the wheel within a few days. However, there are some instances where a car could take weeks and even more to get repaired. If your car is out of action and is currently getting fixed, here are a few things you can do.

    Get a temporary replacement 

    It’s not going to feel as good as driving your own car that you’ve grown to love but getting a replacement car can be a good option, especially if you need a vehicle to help get you through the day.

    Most insurers will offer you a replacement hire car for free, as long as you have breakdown insurance. This means that you shouldn’t have to pay for this car and will just contribute to running costs such as petrol.

    Be aware that you may only be able to get a temporary car if the broken-down vehicle was your main form of transport. If you’re lucky enough to own a car exclusively for racing, and that’s the one that’s broken down, you may not be able to get a hire car for free and will instead have to wait.

    Find new form of entertainment

    For many car enthusiasts, their car was their main source of entertainment, and with it being broken down, that enjoyment is now gone for a few days. You can try to be optimistic and use this time period to give something else a go.

    One thing that you can do is perhaps try gaming. This can help distract you, allowing the days to pass, but you can also choose to play driving games to sharpen your skills and still engage with the sport of motoring even if you can’t do it in real life.

    If you fancy something different, there are other types of games that you can try, such as action games or casino games that you can play on an AU casino online.

    Ensure it’s getting fixed

    When your car is getting repaired, you want to make sure that you check in on it from time to time. This allows you to see the progress of the repair, and it can also help you get some more information about your car’s weak spots. Some mechanics can also give you information about how to take better care of your car so that something like this doesn’t happen again.

    Plus, checking in on your car also helps encourage the mechanics to work hard at fixing it quickly. If they know that you’re desperate for it to be repaired, then they might try to repair it quickly.

    Conclusion 

    Having your car be out of action is the worst. To help make the process a bit better, and to speed the recovery time along, make sure to follow these three tips if you can.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • 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.
