How to Tell Your Engine Needs Service
Engine knocking or ticking sounds often indicate worn pistons and rings, or issues with the valve train components, and require immediate professional evaluation. Blue or white exhaust smoke signals serious internal problems; blue smoke typically points to oil consumption issues, while white smoke suggests coolant leaks or head gasket problems. Loss of power during acceleration, excessive oil consumption between changes, and persistent overheating are additional red flags that warrant prompt engine repair. The check engine light serves as your vehicle’s early warning system, alerting you to potential issues with the crankshaft position sensor, camshaft timing, or emission control systems before they escalate into major failures. Our diagnostic testing process at Real Pro Auto Service – Grand Rapids involves comprehensive computer scanning and visual inspection of critical engine components, including gaskets and seals, the condition of the timing belt or chain, and overall engine mount integrity. When you notice any of these symptoms, don’t wait for the problem to worsen, as early intervention often means the difference between a manageable repair and a complete engine rebuild or replacement.
