Introduction
Every car owner will experience mechanical problems at some point—but that doesn’t mean they need to be stressful. At Aida Auto Sale Ltd., we’ve seen (and fixed) it all. With over two decades of experience in car mechanical repairs, our team specializes in diagnosing and solving issues before they become dangerous or expensive.
This blog highlights 11 of the most common mechanical problems we handle, along with how our expert technicians solve them to get your vehicle running like new.
1. Check Engine Light
That little orange light could mean dozens of things—from a loose gas cap to engine misfires. At Aida Auto, we use advanced diagnostics to read trouble codes, then inspect components manually to confirm the issue.
How We Fix It:
- Scan for error codes
- Inspect relevant parts (sensors, ignition coils, fuel injectors)
- Repair or replace faulty components
2. Dead Battery or Starting Problems
Whether it’s freezing weather or an old battery, starting issues are common. It could also be a faulty alternator, corroded cables, or parasitic drain.
How We Fix It:
- Perform a battery load test
- Check alternator output and wiring
- Replace battery or starter motor if needed
3. Brake Noise or Grinding
Squeaky or grinding brakes are a sign your brake pads are worn or rotors are warped. This is both dangerous and damaging if left unattended.
How We Fix It:
- Inspect brake pads, rotors, calipers
- Replace worn components
- Resurface or replace rotors as necessary
4. Overheating Engine
Causes range from low coolant and thermostat failure to a blown head gasket. If your engine overheats even once, it needs immediate inspection.
How We Fix It:
- Check for coolant leaks
- Test radiator, fan, and thermostat
- Repair or replace faulty components
5. Strange Noises (Knocking, Clicking, Whining)
Unusual sounds often mean internal wear or poor lubrication. These can originate from the engine, suspension, or transmission.
How We Fix It:
- Road test and diagnose
- Use stethoscope tools to locate noise
- Replace worn belts, bearings, or joints
6. Transmission Slipping or Delayed Shifting
Your transmission is responsible for smooth gear changes. When it slips, hesitates, or jerks, it could mean fluid issues, solenoid failures, or worn clutches.
How We Fix It:
- Scan for transmission error codes
- Check and replace fluid
- Rebuild or replace damaged components
7. Shaking or Vibration While Driving
If your steering wheel or cabin shakes, you could be dealing with unbalanced tires, misaligned wheels, or worn suspension components.
How We Fix It:
- Perform tire balancing
- Inspect suspension and steering system
- Align wheels as needed

8. Suspension Problems
If your car feels bouncy, dips when braking, or pulls to one side, your suspension system could be compromised.
How We Fix It:
- Inspect shocks, struts, springs, control arms
- Replace damaged components
- Test drive to ensure smooth handling
9. Leaking Fluids (Oil, Coolant, Transmission)
Puddles under your car are never a good sign. Ignoring them can lead to overheating or engine failure.
How We Fix It:
- Identify fluid type and source
- Pressure test cooling system
- Replace gaskets, seals, or hoses
10. Poor Fuel Efficiency
Getting fewer miles per litre? You could have a dirty air filter, faulty oxygen sensor, or fuel injector issues.
How We Fix It:
- Run fuel system diagnostics
- Replace filters and spark plugs
- Clean fuel injectors
11. AC Not Blowing Cold Air
In hot weather, this is one of the most uncomfortable issues. Causes include low refrigerant, a bad compressor, or clogged filters.
How We Fix It:
- Perform AC pressure test
- Recharge refrigerant
- Repair leaks and replace worn AC components
