The need for engine repair should never be put off because your engine is the heart of your car. Today\u2019s cars have lots of technology built right in to make our lives easier.\u00a0 That technology is great for the driver and passengers who want a smooth, comfortable ride.\u00a0 New cars offer more than cruise control and back up cameras. They now offer: parking assistance; driving assistance; cell phone charging; video technology and so much more.\u00a0 But none of these great features can work properly if your engine isn\u2019t running right.<\/p>\n
Here are a few signs that your car needs engine repair:<\/p>\n
Check Engine Light \u2013 The more advanced your car is, the more likely it will be able to notify you when you need repairs and maintenance.\u00a0 Some cars have a light with a little oil can icon; some will show a message upon start up that you need to bring your car in for repair or service.\u00a0 Do not ignore these messages.\u00a0 Just because you think your car is running right, doesn\u2019t mean that it is.\u00a0 Paying attention to the notifications will keep you safe from a break down at a later time.<\/p>\n
Noise \u2013 If you hear a knocking sound or a \u201cwhirring\u201d noise while driving or putting your car in gear, this is a sign that you are in need of engine repair. Don\u2019t ignore it or hope it will go away.\u00a0 Get your car to a mechanic right away.<\/p>\n
Smell \u2013 If you smell a foreign odor while driving or idling, this is a sign that something isn\u2019t right with your car.\u00a0 Don\u2019t take any chances. Call your mechanic right away and get the engine checked.\u00a0 Driving around with a malfunctioning engine, even if the car seems to be running okay, can do irreparable damage to the vehicle.<\/p>\n
Loss of Power \u2013 If your car seems to be losing power even when you are pressing the gas pedal, you are in need of engine repair.\u00a0 Call your mechanic immediately.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
