Should You Put Off Getting Repairs?

If you spot a little light active on your dashboard or if you notice odd sounds coming from your engine, it may mean you need Chrysler repairs. And while it may be tempting to put off your trip to your local service center, you really should head over to Fresno Chrysler Dodge Jeep® RAM for service as soon as you can.

So, what can happen if you put off repairs?

What Can Happen If I Put Off Repairing My Car?

Putting off repairs can cause more damage to your car and even make it unsafe to drive. Here are some signs of trouble you shouldn’t ignore:

• Check Engine Light: This dashboard light tells you something is off with your car’s emissions. It could be a problem related to a loose gas cap, worn spark plugs, or other powertrain issues. Ignoring this light could result in poor efficiency and more expensive repairs.

• Loud Engine: Rattling sounds coming from your engine can indicate loose connections, which might need a quick tightening. Otherwise, metal pieces or fluids could scour your engine if you put off repairs. If you hear squeaking from your engine, it indicates your serpentine belt is at risk of breaking, which could strand you on the road.

• Strange Brake Noises: If you hear screeching or grinding from your brakes, you don’t want to put off brake repairs. Since you rely on your brakes to safely stop, you want them to be in prime shape at all times.
