What Are the Signs Your Vehicle Needs Repairs?

Some signs your vehicle needs repairs can be easy to miss, yet they often point to more serious mechanical issues.

Signs to watch for include:

• Hearing squealing or grinding sounds when braking
• Feeling vibrations in the steering wheel while driving
• Experiencing delays when starting the engine
• Noticing smells of burning oil or coolant after a trip
• Seeing dashboard warning lights that stay on

Each of these signs indicates that your vehicle may require attention. Taking care of small issues early helps prevent costly repairs and keeps your car safe and dependable.

Should You Keep Driving When Dashboard Warning Lights Appear?

Not all dashboard warning lights require you to stop immediately, though none should be ignored. A check engine light might indicate something as simple as a loose gas cap or as serious as an engine misfire.

Brake system, oil pressure, or engine temperature warnings are more urgent and can lead to serious damage or safety risks if you continue driving. Continuing to drive with a warning light on may seem fine in the moment, though it often allows small issues to become more costly and dangerous.

When Should You Bring Your Car in After a Warning Light Appears?

It’s best to schedule service as soon as a warning light appears. Some lights, such as those indicating oil pressure or engine temperature, may signal urgent problems that can damage your vehicle within minutes. Others, such as the check engine light, can vary in severity but still require timely diagnostics to avoid unnecessary wear.

Even if the car seems to drive normally, the system is signaling a fault that shouldn’t be ignored. Prompt attention helps prevent breakdowns, improves safety, and often reduces repair costs by catching issues before they worsen.

How Do You Offer Comprehensive Diagnostics for Accurate Auto Repairs?

Getting to the root of a car issue starts with comprehensive diagnostics—and that’s exactly what we offer at Performance Auto Center.

Our technicians use advanced tools to scan your vehicle’s systems, analyze the results, and pinpoint the exact source of the problem.

Whether it’s a check engine light, an electrical fault, or a sudden drop in performance, we take the guesswork out of the process.

By focusing on accurate testing, we can provide clear answers and reliable solutions. This ensures we only recommend the repairs your vehicle truly needs, so you can drive away confident in the work that has been completed.

What Happens After You Diagnose the Problem?

Once we’ve diagnosed the problem, we walk you through the findings and explain what needs to be done to fix it. You’ll get a clear overview of the repair options, costs, and expected timeline. We’ll answer your questions, provide honest recommendations, and only begin work with your approval.

Whether it’s a quick fix or a more involved repair, the process is designed to keep you informed and in control. Our goal is to make sure you understand exactly what’s going on with your vehicle and feel confident in every decision.

Do You Use OEM or Aftermarket Parts?

We work with both OEM and aftermarket parts to ensure your vehicle receives the right fit, function, and value. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts match your car’s original specifications and deliver long-lasting performance. In some cases, high-quality aftermarket parts offer comparable durability at a better price.

If you prefer one over the other, we’ll respect your choice and tailor the repair to suit your needs. We’ll walk you through the options, explain the differences, and help you make an informed decision. Whether you prefer original equipment or a trusted alternative, we ensure that every part we install meets our high standards for quality and reliability.
