Signs You Need Engine Repair

Your engine gives you plenty of warning signs when something’s wrong. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to visit Andy’s Automotive for a diagnostic:

  • Check Engine Light is on or flashing
  • Knocking, tapping, or clicking sounds
  • Rough idling or stalling
  • Loss of power or acceleration
  • Poor fuel economy
  • Unusual exhaust smoke (blue, white, or black)
  • Overheating
  • Oil leaks or burning oil smell
  • Increased vibration while driving or idling

Don’t ignore these warning signs — engine issues often worsen over time and can lead to major (and expensive) breakdowns if not addressed promptly.
