If your brake pedal feels soft or goes to the floor, if you see fluid under the car, or if the engine won't turn over, you need a shop today. Similarly, a grinding noise when braking or a steering wheel that's hard to turn shouldn't wait. On the other hand, a slow oil leak that's barely visible, minor tire wear, or a check-engine light with no symptoms can usually be scheduled within the next few weeks—just don't ignore it indefinitely.
The difference often comes down to safety and whether the problem will get worse fast. Your headlights dimming or flickering, a battery that cranks slow, or a transmission that hesitates are worth getting looked at soon but aren't emergencies if the car still drives. Smoke from under the hood, a strong burning smell, or loss of brakes or steering are absolute pull-over-now problems. A good mechanic can walk you through what you're seeing over the phone and give you realistic guidance on urgency.
