Pontiac Auto Repair
in Parma, OH

Many car troubles announce themselves with clear telltale signs. If you don’t address these concerns immediately, they might lead to expensive repairs down the road. Here are some common issues to watch out for:

• Check Engine Light: This illuminated symbol is your car’s way of saying “check me out!” The light color provides clues about the severity of the issue. A solid yellow light typically indicates a minor problem, while a flashing red light means bad news — it’s a critical issue requiring immediate attention.
• Unusual Noises: Your Pontiac shouldn’t be making all sorts of strange sounds. Clunking noises when shifting gears could point to transmission problems. Grinding noises while braking might indicate worn brake pads. Squealing sounds could be a sign of a failing belt. Next time you hear any of those, you’ll know who to call.
• Vibrations While Driving: A smooth ride is a happy ride. Vibrations at highway speeds can be caused by unbalanced tires, worn suspension components, or even engine issues.
• Transmission Problems: A malfunctioning transmission can make driving a nightmare. Symptoms include slipping gears, difficulty shifting, or a burning smell.
• Oil Leaks: If left unchecked, this can lead to engine damage.
