Haha, good point! But seriously, if it doesn’t work, I may have to call a mechanic soon.
If your brake lights won’t turn off, first check the brake light switch located near the brake pedal. Sometimes it’s just a sticky switch that needs adjustment. If you’re unsure, it’s best to consult a mechanic.
That’s good advice! If it is a switch issue, it should be a relatively cheap fix. I had a similar problem, and a local shop charged me about $50 to replace it.
If the switch isn’t the issue, it might be worth checking the fuse or wiring. If you’re not comfortable with DIY fixes, it’s best to take your car to a certified repair service to avoid further complications.
True, wiring issues can get complicated fast. I recommend finding a shop with good reviews or asking friends for recommendations. It can save you a headache in the long run!
It depends on your location, but expect to pay anywhere from $100 to $300 for professional help, depending on the complexity. Always ask for an estimate before they start working on it.

I’ve had a great experience with a local garage that charged fairly and explained everything they did. The key is finding someone trustworthy. Look for transparency in their communication!
I once had my brake lights stuck on and ended up hiring a mobile mechanic. It was surprisingly affordable—about $75 for the whole service right in my driveway. Definitely a good option if you’ve got a busy schedule.
Transparency is key! I’ve had bad experiences where mechanics just added costs without explanation. What kind of services should I specifically look for?
It’s always good to check for services that offer free diagnostics. They can often spot the problem quickly without you having to pay for a full repair until you know what’s wrong. Just be cautious about upselling!
Absolutely! I like to joke that if my car had a therapist, it would need one after all the trips to the mechanic! But seriously, that can save a lot of stress.
