Every driver dreads the thought of a breakdown, but understanding the most common causes can help you avoid them. Regular maintenance and awareness are key to keeping your car running smoothly and preventing unexpected roadside emergencies.
One of the leading causes of breakdowns is battery failure. Extreme weather, leaving lights on, or an old battery can all leave you stranded. Having your battery tested regularly and carrying jumper cables can save you from frustration. At Integrity Tow Solutions, we also offer jump start services if your battery dies on the road.
Flat tires are another common issue. Whether caused by worn-out treads or road hazards, a flat can happen at any time. Always check your tire pressure and tread before long trips, and don’t forget to keep a spare tire and jack in your vehicle.
Overheating engines are also frequent culprits. Low coolant levels, faulty radiators, or worn-out hoses can cause your car to overheat quickly. Regular servicing helps prevent these issues, but if you ever find yourself with smoke under the hood, pull over immediately and call for assistance.
While breakdowns can’t always be avoided, knowing the risks helps you stay prepared. And if the unexpected happens, Integrity Tow Solutions is always ready to help you get back on the road.
