What we check
Fix the fault before it becomes a bigger repair.
Mechanical problems usually show up as noises, leaks, poor performance, hard shifting, warning lights or rough running. Auto Wizz checks the symptoms and explains the practical repair path.
Brake and suspension issues
Knocks, vibration, pulling, uneven braking or suspension noise should be checked before they get worse.
Clutch and gearbox concerns
Hard shifting, slipping, grinding or drivetrain noise should be checked.
Injector and engine symptoms
Rough running, poor fuel response and power loss may need deeper checks.
Overheating and fluid loss
Heat warnings, coolant loss, oil leaks or rising temperature need attention before they become bigger repairs.
Engine and cylinder head work
Larger faults need careful assessment before major repair work is planned.
Mechanical repair path
The right repair starts with the symptom.
Step 01
Tell us what the car is doing
Mention the sound, leak, warning light, smell, loss of power or driving condition where the fault appears.
Step 02
We inspect before parts are guessed
The goal is to avoid replacing parts blindly when a practical check can narrow the cause.
Step 03
You get practical next steps
Auto Wizz explains the likely repair path before work goes ahead.

Cylinder head and engine work
Larger engine issues need careful assessment so the repair path is practical for the vehicle and budget.
Brake and suspension symptoms
Squeaks, knocks, pulling, uneven braking or steering feel changes can point to brake or suspension wear.
Leaks and overheating

Not sure which page fits?
If the issue is routine maintenance, start with a car service. If the warning light or fault feels electrical, use the auto electrician page.
