EARLY SIGNS OF COSTLY ENGINE TROUBLES
There is no worse feeling than when your vehicle is on the fritz! But don’t worry too much, because here are a few points on how to spot early signs of engine trouble—and why catching them matters:
- Unusual noises from under the hood, like knocking or ticking
- Warning lights on your dashboard (BIG HINT!!)
- Reduced fuel efficiency
- Rough idling or stalling
- Smoke from the exhaust
Ignoring these tell-tale indicators could lead to costly repairs down the road, within weeks or at worst, days. At Joy Automotive, we specialize in diagnosing and fixing these issues early. From domestics (Chevrolet, Ford, Chrysler, etc.) to imports (BMW, Mini, Volkswagen, Lexus, etc.) we have the knowledge and the tools to properly and accurately diagnose your vehicle.
Stay ahead of vehicular problems with regular checkups and inspections. Even if you aren’t certain but have a concern, feel free to stop by our shop and speak with our staff. Our on-the-spot inspection is complementary! And, should your vehicle require more in-depth assessment, our 50-point vehicle inspection can be done that same day in most cases.
We even have complementary shuttle service anywhere within Santa Monica for your convenience!
We take pride in offering you our very best service regardless how big or small your concerns. If there is one major lesson we’ve learned after our 30 years in business in Santa Monica, our customers delight at our traditional service and attention… and we enjoy being your go-to shop!
