When your vehicle needs service or serious BMW repairs, it’s important that you visit our trained technicians at Fields BMW Northfield. However, there are a few basic car repairs that every driver should be able to complete on their own.
Changing a Flat Tire
While a flat tire is never a welcome sight, it’s a lot less frightening and overwhelming if you know how to change it. You want to make sure that you have all the supplies you need, including a spare tire, a car jack, and a lug wrench.
Always use caution when changing a tire. Make sure that you are safely away from traffic and parked on a flat service. Don’t forget to turn on your hazard lights as well.
Replacing a Headlight
How you change your vehicle’s headlights depends on your vehicle. It’s important to check your owner’s manual for instructions, and it’s also a good idea to routinely check your lights to avoid having to replace them in an emergency.
Don’t forget to also check your brake lights and turn signals as well. These are just as important for your safety, as they improve your visibility and ensure that others can always see you.
Charging a Battery
There are lots of factors that can drain a battery. Unfortunately, we sometimes discover ours are no longer working at the most inconvenient times.
Make sure that you always carry jumper cables in your vehicle so you can use another vehicle as a power source. Or, you may opt to carry a portable charger instead.
Whether you need service or even replacement parts, our trained technicians are here for you. Reach out to our BMW dealership in Northfield, IL to schedule an appointment today!
