5 Repairs You Should Leave To Certified Technicians

Timing-belt replacement: 

  • When it comes to many cars the timing-belt replacement is part of a major maintenance visited every 60,000-100,000 miles and is one of the biggest repair bills you’ll end up seeing for your car. Even though it might be tempting to save your money and DIY, DON’T. The potential for damaging your engine is huge!

Transmission maintenance or repair: 

  • The automatic transmissions contain thousands of small parts and narrow passageways for hydraulic fluid and one grain of sand could wipe out your transmission, so leave this to the professionals.

Overheating: 

  • With some level of training you could do some cooling-system maintenance but if the engine is already overheated, forget about it!

Drivability problems and error codes: 

  • When your car doesn’t start, or you have drivability issues like stalling, hesitation, or surging, home mechanics simply don’t have the training to diagnose and troubleshoot. Leave this to the professionals and save yourself money on possible damages.

Replacing suspension components: 

  • It’s impractical and cost-prohibitive for a home mechanic to own some of the specialty equipment needed to get the job done right, while labor costs aren’t all that high for typical suspension repairs, so you might as well leave them to the pros
