Frequently Asked Questions About Auto Repair

Find answers to common questions

1. How often should I service my vehicle?

Regular maintenance depends on your vehicle, driving habits, and manufacturer recommendations. Generally, most vehicles should receive an oil change every 5,000 to 8,000 km and routine inspections throughout the year. Furthermore, following your maintenance schedule can help prevent costly repairs and extend your vehicle's lifespan.

2. My car is running rough. Do I need a tune-up?

If your vehicle is idling roughly, losing power, using more fuel than usual, or the check engine light is on, it may need a tune-up or engine diagnostics. Therefore, our experienced technicians will inspect your vehicle, identify the cause of the problem, and recommend the right repair so your vehicle runs smoothly again.

3. Is there a charge to check out my car?

Diagnostic fees depend on the type of inspection your vehicle requires. However, we'll always explain any applicable charges before beginning the work. That way, you'll know exactly what to expect before we inspect your vehicle.

4. Do I need an appointment for a repair?

Appointments are recommended because they allow us to serve you faster and reduce wait times. However, we also welcome walk-in customers whenever our schedule allows. Contact Megasell Motors Service Centre to book your vehicle inspection or repair at a time that works best for you.

5. What credit cards do you take?

We accept most major credit cards for vehicle repairs and maintenance services. Additionally, we offer several payment options to make the process as convenient as possible. If you have questions about payment methods, our team will be happy to assist you. your appointment.

6. What Should I Do When My Check Engine Light Comes On?

If your check engine light comes on, don't ignore it. Instead, schedule a diagnostic inspection as soon as possible. Although the issue may be minor, it could also indicate a more serious problem. Therefore, having it checked early can help prevent costly repairs.

7. How do I know if my car needs immediate repairs?

Warning lights, unusual noises, fluid leaks, poor braking, or changes in performance may indicate that your vehicle needs immediate attention. If you notice any of these signs, schedule an inspection as soon as possible.

8. How Often Should I Have My Brakes Checked?

Most manufacturers recommend a brake inspection at least once a year or every 20,000 km. However, Edmonton's winter conditions, heavy traffic, and stop-and-go driving can cause brakes to wear more quickly.

9. What Type Of Oil Filter Do I Need?

The correct oil filter depends on your vehicle's make, model, and engine. Our technicians always install a high-quality filter that meets or exceeds your manufacturer's specifications during every oil change.

10. Do I Really Need Winter Tires?

Yes, winter tires provide significantly better traction, braking, and control in cold temperatures, snow, and ice. Even if roads appear clear, winter tires perform better when temperatures fall below 7°C. As a result, they help improve your safety throughout the winter months.
