Failure of the lubrication system in your car could lead to a breakdown or a blown engine, so it's important to pay attention to any warning signs. Usually the first sign of trouble with the system is a glowing oil light or an extreme drop in pressure on the gauge.

If you hear a high-pitched squeak emanating from the front wheels while the car is in motion, it's probably a 'brake wear indicator' telling you it's time to replace your brake pads. Don't let this minor repair job turn into an expensive brake overhaul.

There can be many reasons why your car may fail to start. The most common cause of starting problems usually has to do with either the battery, the starter, or a combination of both.
