Who can’t relate to the heart wrenching, nerve pinching feeling of having your car break down. Be it the engine, spare parts or tyres, no work done on a car comes cheap. However, these 5 repairs can really become a burden on your wallet or lead you to sell your car in Dubai. Watch out for these most expensive car repairs:
Engine: A blown engine is when your car has encountered internal damage which can sometimes even mean the fusing together of metals parts inside the engine due to high temperature. If your car engine is indeed seized then get ready to pay a visit to the mechanic and do not forget to carry your wallet.
Transmission: The flow of power from the engine to the driveshaft also known as the gearbox is controlled by a complex system called transmission. Due to heat and friction this system takes up most of the wear and tear. If you feel your car’s gears are slipping or the clutch is becoming loose, then the transmission in your car needs attention.
Head Gasket: In an internal combustion engine the cylinder head and block is connected by a gasket referred to as the head gasket. It acts as a sealant and stops the leaking of oil and coolant onto to the engine. Blowing up the head gasket would mean that this seal is ruptured and getting it fixed comes at a cost.
Chasis: The frame of the car on which the body is mounted forms the foundation of the car. Collision or rust can greatly damage this skeletal structure on which the car rests. The extent of the damage would determine the cost of repairing the chassis. If the damage is not too severe the car can be repaired while attached to the body however, for more severe damage the engine and transmission might need to be removed increasing the cost of repair drastically.
Cooling System: See water leaks on your driveway or smoky fumes emitting from the exhaust pipe? Your car’s cooling system might need attention. Damage to the cooling system could also mean that your car is overheating or running too hot. Sometimes damage done to the cooling system can be solved as easily as adding an antifreeze coolant. But, other times it can mean the replacement of the radiator, thermostat or the head gasket altogether. When latter is the case know that your bank is about to be debited.
