Over the years, your car battery may require a little maintenance. A corrosive white powder sometimes forms on the terminals. If left, it can eventually destroy the battery cables.

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.
