5 Car Repairs Hacks You Should Never Try To Do Yourself by opavictor(m): 4:45am On Oct 30, 2017
There is nothing more annoying when trying to fix a problematic vehicle, only to find out that the repair is beyond your ability, and needs a skill of a mechanic. Although there is quick and easy fix, almost anyone can carry out in their car park, but the ability to know when is time to invite a profession is the best advice we can give.
It is best t to know when it is time to pay a professional to repair a vehicle, below are five repairs you should not carry out yourself.

1 .TRANSMISSION FIXES
The transmission is like the Rubik cube of the vehicle; it contains all forms of twisted gears, rod, and bearing. The transmission is an essential part of a vehicle; a transmission ensures the to and fro movement of an automobile. Swapping a transmission system is the right step to take, instead of trying to repair it. Its part weighs a lot. Therefore you will need the assistance of a third party. Trying to fix a transmission system may lead to disastrous results. Furthermore, even changing the fluid of your car is complicated. Therefore it should be carried out by a professional.


2. WINDSHIELD REPLACEMENT
Drivers tend to carry out this procedure themselves. When you calculate the time spent in getting adhesive, clips, window trims pieces and most especially your safety. Pay a professional and get a brand-new windshield and avoid lumps of glasses in your vehicle.



3. BODYWORK AND PAINT
Trying to fix damaged panel or applying paint can be cost consuming and also time-consuming. Trying to fix this on your own, will probably lead to a terrible job and other issues. Painting is quite expensive, but it needs to be done by an expert in the field.


4. DVD player OR RADIO UPGRADE
In this case, most persons think they can install their radio successfully without any errors. The challenge is that a radio involves adequate electrical knowledge. Have in mind that any error can lead to damage in your car such as short-circuiting the electrical system. Just take your car to an auto-electrician to fix the radio and DVD player.
