Common Concerns for Engine Problems in Dickson, TN
- Poor Starting and Idling - When you vehicle is failing to start properly it can lead to delays in your daily schedule as well as having to call a tow company to bring it to a shop for testing. If your vehicle doesn't start smooth or idle quite like it used to, it is giving you a sign that something is wrong. Sometimes it is as simple as a weak battery, that is why we test all batteries that come in through our Courtesy Health Check.
- Smoke from Exhaust - Smoke from the tailpipe of your vehicle can be for multiple different reasons. Believe it or not based on the color of the smoke it can help indicate where you problem might be. Blue hue smoke is typically oil being burned in your exhaust system, but from where? White smoke can be coolant leaking into the exhaust. Black smoke can be excessive fuel in the exhaust, but these are simply symptoms, not the cause of the failure.
- Oil Leaks - If your vehicle is leaving a trail everytime you park it you need to have it inspected for an oil leak ASAP. Driving a vehicle with a low oil condition can take a simple gasket failure and turn it into a complete engine failure.
- Smoke from Your Engine Bay - If your vehicle is smoking from the engine bay area you could have multiple issues causing the same concern. You could have a refridgerant leak, you could have a hot coolant leak, or you could have oil leaking onto your exhaust. All of these are important issues to have addressed in a timely manner.
- Check Engine Light - Any time your check engine light comes on you need to have your vehicle inspected by a trained professional. A simple code scan can point any trained shop in a good direction, but seldomly does a code scan indicate which part is failed. Testing is very important to making sure correct components are being replaced when your check engine light comes on your dash.
- Abnormal Noises - If you hear any noises coming from your engine area you should have your vehicle inspected. Certain noises can be indication of other parts failing, if ignored catastrophic damage can occur to multiple components in the blink of an eye.
