Here are a few warning signs to be on the lookout for:

   1. Leaking Fluids

      If you notice leaking fluid, have it checked immediately. It's usually an indication that hoses have broken, gaskets have lost their seals or fluid containers have cracked or come unattached altogether. Leaks also pollute the environment.

   2. Poor Fuel Economy

      If your vehicle has noticeably poorer gas mileage, it is usually an indication of poor engine performance. It may simply need a car service tune up or a carburetor or fuel line cleaning. If this is ignored it could lead to a more expensive truck or car repair to be fixed at a later time.

   3. Screeching Brakes

      This is one of the most obvious warning signs that something is wrong. Take it to a professional car repair specialist. Typically, screeching noises usually come from brakes that are wearing out. Consider the way your brakes feel when you step on them. They should be easy to push and feel soft. Sometimes, the brakes may feel as if they are grinding, or they may cause you to stop with a jerk. In some instances, your brakes may feel mushy, or they may feel hard to push down. All these may be signs that a vehicle's brake system is not working properly and you should schedule a truck and car repair.

   4. Excessive Engine Noise and Vibration

      A certain amount of vehicle vibration and shaking is typical with most cars and trucks. However, if it is excessive, it can be caused by wheels out of alignment or improper balancing of tires. Serious shaking and vibration is detrimental to the proper operation of your vehicle and can lead to other serious problems.

   5. Sluggish or Restrictive Gear Shifting

      When you shift gears, they should shift almost instantly. When transmissions take longer than usual to shift from one gear to the other, it typically indicates a problem with the transmission. Transmission systems are typically expensive to repair and replace. Address this problem as soon as possible to avoid a more serious and costly truck or car repair.
