It can be difficult to make your own auto
repairs if you don't know the basics. As mechanics have their own lingo, tools,
and specifications. Thereby Shriram Automall India Limited has brought some
emergency or routine maintenance tips that will serve you in a long run.
So, let's explore some of the
vehicle repairs that you can easily do at home, which will not only save you a
lot of money but will also save you if you end up in a sticky situation.
In an Emergency
It's a good idea for every driver
to know how to jump start a dead battery
because calling a tow truck in to do it can waste both time and money. And in
case you are not able to start it even after trying, learning how to properly use tow straps is key
to making this happen without damaging either vehicle and to keep everyone
safe.
1. Park the running car next to the
dead car so the jumper cables can reach both batteries.
2. Turn off both the engines.
3. Now start the car with the good
battery and leave it running. If the battery in the first car was really badly
drained, it may help to leave them connected for a minute with the good car
running before you try to start the dead car.
Now,
turn the key in the dead car to start and it should fire right up.

How to
properly use tow straps?
A tow strap is a strong nylon strap with hooks hard-sewn
into each end. Most vehicles have a solid mounting point in the rear of the car
that is usually attached to the bumper mounting points or nearby, and if a
vehicle has a trailer hitch there are steel loops there for mounting a hook;
either of these locations will provide plenty of structural support for most
towing operations.
1. Attach the tow strap to the mounting
hook on the car being towed and the car that is towing.
2. Now that you have both ends securely
hooked in, you're ready to pull.
Basic DIY Car Repairs
For
some car repairs, you may be better off getting it to the mechanic. However,
there are a number of things that you can do in your own garage. Some tasks
like changing your oil or flushing the coolant are good DIY projects that can
save a lot of money each year.
Beyond
regular maintenance, almost anyone can change a headlight bulb or any of rear
lights. For these jobs, it's a good idea to have the repair manual so you don't
turn a small issue into a big problem.
Many
home mechanics can also tackle things like plugging a tire, replacing spark
plugs, and even changing a turn signal relay. Though, we don't suggest taking
on those projects unless you know how to check your oil or top off your
windshield washer fluid first.
With help of Shriram Automall India Limited (SAMIL) you can
learn to use on board diagnostics (OBD) to help yourself find these problems
quickly.
