Common car problems

Pick the issue closest to yours — what it might mean, whether you can keep driving, and when to come see us.

• Check Engine Light Gas cap, sensor, or misfire — we verify before recommending parts.
• Brake Noise Squeal, grind, or pulsation — pads, rotors, or a stuck caliper?
• Car Won't Start Clicking, silence, or cranking with no start — each one needs different tests.
• Engine Overheating Gauge in the red? Stop driving — leak, thermostat, or fan failure.
• AC Not Cold Warm air? It may be a leak, compressor, or electrical issue.
• Battery Keeps Dying Battery, alternator, or a parasitic draw?
• Wheel Bearing Noise Hum that rises with speed — bearing, tire, or something else?
• Suspension Noise Clunk over bumps — bushings, ball joints, or strut mounts?
