Certainly, whilst manufacturers have a specific warranty - 3 years, 5 years with specific kilometres or unlimited kilometres, what happens if something goes wrong in the first year outside of the warranty?

If you've been having your car serviced by the franchise dealer where you bought your car, it is likely that the manufacturer will approve an out of warranty claim. The dealer can push the point since you've been a loyal customer. Too many customers with a problem out of warranty declined because they thought they'd save money by servicing with an aftermarket service centre. Before you commit one way or the other, why don't you do a price check? You'll probably be pleasantly surprised.

Wheels on your car rotate at very high speeds. If the wheels and tyres have not been balanced this may cause whole car to vibrate causing a very unpleasant ride.

If your car is pulling to the left (or right) there can be 2 issues. The first is that it may need a wheel alignment. When the wheels (generally the front wheels) have hit a pothole, a gutter or kerb, the mechanicals in the front suspension can ‘bump' out. A wheel alignment recalibrates the suspension allowing the vehicle to track the way it's meant to. This is called a front and rear wheel alignment.

The only other way that a car can pull left or right is due to the camber of the road. Roads are built so that they don't hold water when it rains. Accordingly, the 'lean' left or right. Occasionally and particularly with light steering, it can feel that the car wants to move left or right.
