Wear and tear may cause grinding gears. If you let the problem persists, you will need to replace your gearbox if the damage is beyond repair. You can very easily avoid gearboxes defects with regular oil check. It will save you the future replacement cost.

Private Car Mechanics vs Dealerships
It is one of the most common questions that arise when dealing with vehicle repair and servicing. Dealerships often try to convince car owners to have your car serviced or repaired at their local workshops; otherwise, the warranty may be void. It is fundamentally incorrect, and your new car purchase is protected by the law. By having your car serviced by licensed and certified mechanics, no problem should arise with the warranty. It is worth mentioning that repairs at dealerships may be slightly more affordable due to their capped-price program.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/2″][vc_column_text]
