Why You Shouldn’t Postpone Auto Repairs Before Christmas

The Christmas season is here. It’s hard to believe, but the big day is just a couple of weeks away. We hope you have a wonderful Christmas and holiday season and that you don’t have any car troubles. However, we know that vehicles break down and they don’t care what time of year it is. That’s why we’re here to serve you in our Downey auto repair shop whenever you need us.

No one likes to spend money on car repairs, no matter what time of year it is. But when the holidays come around it can be even harder. For starters, you have so many things going on already. Who has time to worry about auto repairs, not to mention losing your vehicle for a few days while it gets worked on?

In addition, money can be a little tighter at this time of the year and people would much rather spend what money they do have available on fun things for Christmas, instead of a new alternator or spark plugs, or anything else. However, as tough as it might be, you should never postpone important auto repairs before Christmas, or any other time of the year, for that matter. Here’s why.

Small Problems Will Only Get Bigger and Cost More

It’s tempting to put off auto repairs, especially at this time of the year. But think about it. Would you rather spend a little now, or a lot later? Plus, if you plan to travel during the holiday season, that small problem you ignore now could turn into a much bigger problem while you’re driving far away from home.

For example, maybe your brakes are squeaking a little. No big deal, right? It can wait. Well, if you put it off too long, it could cause damage to your rotors, too. Replacing brake pads is much cheaper than replacing both pads and rotors.

Maybe your tires are a little low on pressure or even wearing a little thin or uneven on the tread. Worn out tires can lead to other problems as well as unsafe driving conditions. It’s best to replace them or inflate them properly instead of waiting till after Christmas. These are just two examples, but there are plenty of others.

Don’t Wait to Get Auto Repair in Downey

Putting off car repairs in general is not a good idea. When something is broken and you ignore it, it will get worse, and it could cause damage to other parts of your vehicle. For example, if you have an oil leak, it not only makes a mess of everything under the hood, but it can also damage your engine.

If your vehicle needs repairs and you ignore them, you might end up stranded on the side of the road. That’s a situation no one wants to find themselves in, especially during the holiday travel season. It’s always better to take care of problems as soon as you discover them to help avoid bigger problems and more expensive repairs down the road.
