In today's economy, it is very important to save money, and if you know your way around an engine, you can save a lot of money doing your own car repairs. However, even if you are an accomplished amateur mechanic, there are some vehicle maintenance procedures that are best left to the experts. Here are 3 car repairs that you shouldn't do at home:

Transmission

Transmissions have thousands of tiny parts designed to fit together so that transmission oil can flow through uninhibited by any obstruction. In order to fix your transmission yourself, you would have to know where each piece fits and you would have to memorize where each piece goes. Also, if the tiniest bit of grit gets into your transmission, it will be destroyed.

Radiator

It's very simple to replace certain cooling system components such as hoses and thermostats, however, if your radiator is overheating, it is time to take it to a mechanic so they can identify the cause and make the necessary repairs. If you attempt to fix it yourself, you can end up causing even more damage than was there originally.

Suspension

Various suspension components all look pretty simple to replace. However, there is a very large amount of stored energy in a compressed coil spring and if you don't know exactly what you're doing or how to remove a compressed coil spring, you can put your life in danger. It is recommended that you take your car into an auto mechanic if you are having issues with your suspension.
