From Blinkers To Brakes: Stay Safe With Help from Our Service Department

December 16th, 2014 by

Your car has airbags and traction controls to keep you safe, but is everything working? Winter is a good time to inventory your safety mechanisms and make sure your car can keep you safe. Manchester car repair is always available at Merchants Auto.

Blinkers
Of course your blinkers and brake lights are a safety system. If these lights go out, other cars won’t know what’s going on. If you need a new blinker, brake light, headlight or foglight, Merchants Auto can replace the bulb, making you safer. You can do this at a regular oil change or any time you stop by for Concord car service.

Brakes and Tires
Brake pads are designed to whine, letting you know it’s time to replace them. Tires have a special ‘wear-ball’ which, when visible, signifies it’s time to replace the tire. Make sure your tires and brakes are in the best possible condition. If either fails, it can lead to an accident, especially in New Hampshire’s challenging winters. For Concord car service, be sure to bring your car to Merchants Auto.
Check Engine
If your check engine light is on, this is also a safety issue. It may involve your traction controls, which keep your car from skidding. It may involve your exhaust system, which can cause carbon monoxide to back up into the car, potentially poisoning you and your passengers. The check engine light allows a technician to find the malfunction and then it can be fixed expertly by our skilled mechanics. You can find much useful information at our auto shop website.
If you are concerned about any of your safety systems, you can pick your own service time with our online service scheduler. Manchester car repair is available six days a week at Merchants Auto in Hooksett.
