We’ve all done it. Pretended not to see that check engine light or ignored an odd sound, smell, bump or problem. Nobody wants to think about having their car problems repaired and all the time and costs that come with it. However, you rely on your vehicle every day and it is important that its integrity and safety be intact. While there are some minor issues that can be put off a little longer, York Tire & Auto Service never wants you to ignore these car issues.
Brake Problems
Your braking system is vital to the overall safety of your car. Anytime you notice something is off about the sound, feel, or smell of your brakes you should schedule an inspection. Squealing brakes when you are coming to a stop may not seem like a big issue, but it could be a sign of failing brakes.
Smoke Coming From Under the Hood
Smoke is never a good sign. Whether the smoke is due to an overheating engine or an electrical issue, you should get your car to a mechanic immediately. Putting off the issue will only lead to further damage and more expensive repairs.
Oil or Fluid Leak
Oil and automotive fluids are what keep your car running efficiently and smoothly. From engine oil to coolant, you always want your fluids to be at the appropriate levels. If you notice a leak of any kind, ignoring it will only make it worse. A technician can easily find and repair the leak so your fluids will stay where they belong.
Check Engine Light
Ignoring the fact that your check engine light is on won’t make it go away. When your CEL is on it could be due to anything from a loose gas cap to a failing transmission. If the issue is in one of your car’s major components like the engine or transmission you need to know so you can have it repaired before you find yourself broken down on the side of the road.
Wobbling, Wiggling, or Shaking
Whether you are stopped or in motion, no part of your car would be wobbling or shaking. If you notice extra movement in your steering wheel, brake pedal, or engine you need to have it looked at.
