A car repair is the process of fixing any mechanical or electrical problems with a vehicle. This includes inspecting, diagnosing, and repairing the car to ensure it runs safely and efficiently. Repairs can range from minor fixes, such as changing a headlight bulb or replacing a flat tire, to more complex repairs, such as replacing an engine or transmission. An auto protection plan can help you cover the cost of costly car repairs and help you in the event of a breakdown.
