5 Things To Know Before Seeing The Mechanic

Are you afraid of going to the mechanic alone, because of the little knowledge you have about your car?  We speak to Ellissa Yeo, automotive aftermarket executive at Robert Bosch, about what we need to know before bringing our car in to a mechanic.

List of car terms we should know

  • Wet-cell battery: An original type of rechargeable battery containing liquid electrolyte. It’s necessary to replenish the battery with this liquid from time to time.
  • Dry-cell battery: This doesn’t contain any liquid and it’s similar to your usual double-A batteries. It’s maintenance-free.
