Sometimes the need for auto repair services manifests itself in obvious signs and signals such as smoke billowing out of the car’s tailpipe. But other times, it isn’t so obvious. Here at Hall Nissan Virginia Beach, our team of expert mechanics is ready to diagnose any issues with your Nissan car and perform the necessary Nissan repairs. Here are some signs that you should watch out for.
Illuminated Check Engine Light
While it can be tempting to ignore when your Check Engine Light turns on, doing so can lead to long-term damage to your vehicle and even more expensive repairs. When your Check Engine light is turned on, it could be an indication of a number of different issues, ranging from your catalytic converter to your engine system. Schedule a service appointment at our Virginia Beach Nissan dealership if it’s illuminated.
Fluid Leaks
If you’re noticing a pool of fluid on the floor of your garage underneath where your car sits, it could be a sign of trouble. Your Nissan car uses a number of different fluids in order to operate its various systems. A leak with brake fluid, transmission fluid, or another fluid can cause your car to operate less efficiently and safely.
Weird Noises
Common sounds that can indicate a need for repairs include a grinding noise while braking, a whining transmission, or a knocking noise coming from under the hood. All of these should be treated seriously and an appointment should be made.
Strange Smells
Odd odors can also indicate issues with your vehicle. For instance, a maple syrup smell can indicate a cooling system issue, while a dirty laundry smell can indicate a sign of mold growth in the heating vents.
If you’re noticing any of these issues with your car, schedule a service appointment today.
