Common Signs You Need Diagnostic Services

Vehicles often show early warning signs before major issues develop. If you notice any of the following, it’s time for a visit:

Check Engine Light On

This is your vehicle’s way of saying something’s wrong — from simple to serious, it needs to be diagnosed.

Unusual Noises

Clunking, knocking, grinding, or high-pitched whining sounds signal trouble that requires testing.

Poor Shifting or Acceleration

Delayed gear changes or jerky acceleration often indicate Transmission or sensor issues.

Stalling or Rough Idling

An unstable idle or frequent stalling could point to ignition, fuel, or airflow problems.

Loss of Power or Fuel Efficiency

Performance drops and higher gas usage may result from engine timing, fuel injection, or exhaust issues.

Warning Lights Other Than Check Engine

ABS, transmission, or traction control lights also require proper Diagnostics for a safe solution.
