How to Spot Hidden Problems in Your Car Before the New Year’s Rush


The UAE is preparing to welcome the New Year with dance, music, shopping and merriment. To get to all the busy places, make sure your car is in excellent condition; therefore regular car maintenance gains importance.

Here’s a guide to help you spot hidden problems in your car before the New Year’s rush begins.

External controls

Tires: Check for uneven wear and inflate them to the recommended pressure. Tire rotation is done to prevent uneven wear. Examine the tread depth using a coin.

Get new tires and checks done at Carcility, the car care experts in Dubai. Offers: new tires (20%), wheel alignment (25%) and tire rotation (20%). The offer also includes a free nitrogen top-up and refill.

Lights and indicators

Make sure the headlight, parking light, brake light and indicator lights are working properly. Replace weak bulbs if necessary.

Bodywork and painting

Regular car washes help remove dirt, grime and bird droppings, but scratches, dents and discoloration require detailing services at an auto shop.

Air conditioning checks

Is the air conditioner cooling sufficiently? Do you hear a screeching sound or noise coming from the air conditioner? You may also notice a foul odor coming from the cabin. Have your air conditioner checked for refrigerant gases and leaks. Clean the filters or replace them. Check the operation of the condenser, compressor, fan and other components.

Battery Checks

A car battery plays a vital role in starting the engine and powering the electrical system. If more cranking is required to get going, the battery may be low. Check voltage, clean corroded terminals and inspect connections.

Benefit from discounts on car battery service offered at Carcility. Carcility offers 30% off Battery Boost, Service Charge and Jump Start, and 15% off new batteries.

Dashboard signs

Look for indicators that appear red. Airbags, engine oil, air conditioning or brakes could be the cause of the problem. Have the vehicle inspected at a workshop near you, as such indicators signal a potential problem.

Other checks

You can perform routine checks of engine oil, coolant, brakes, wipers and other components to ensure safe and comfortable driving during the New Year’s rush.
