Getting regular maintenance on your Honda car is one of the most important aspects of responsible ownership. Even if you get regular maintenance, sometimes repairs are necessary due to a collision or just old age. Sometimes the need for auto repair can be found in obvious signs like a flashing check engine light, but other times, the signs are more obscure.
Here are the top signs that you may need Honda repair at Hall Honda Virginia Beach.
Signs That Repair Is Necessary
- Flashing check engine light: Most check engine lights have a flashing setting, which tells you that repair is necessary immediately. Even if your check engine light is illuminated but not flashing, be sure to schedule an appointment with our mechanics at Hall Honda Virginia Beach.
- Strange noises: Common sounds that indicate a need for Honda repair include grinding noises while braking, a whining transmission, a louder-than-normal engine, and a knocking noise from under the hood.
- Fluid leaks: Fluids should never be dripping from your vehicle. Your Honda car utilizes a number of fluids to operate its systems. If you notice anything leaking from your SUV or car, be sure to get it looked at because your car relies on these fluids to run efficiently.
- Exhaust smoke: Any change in emissions is cause for concern, especially if your Honda car is producing colored exhaust smoke. This could be an indication of your car burning too much fuel, oil in the combustion chamber, or a coolant leak in the engine.
- Strange smells: Odd smells emanating from your car could indicate cooling system issues, mold growth, or clutch issues.
