General Signs of Car Trouble

As a driver, there are numerous ways that you may identify a potential issue with your vehicle. If you experience any of the following signs of car trouble, be sure to visit us for immediate diagnostics and repair.



  • Shaking - Vibrations and shakes can be related to a number of issues, such as warped brake rotors, poor wheel alignment or an exhaust leak.
  • Smells - Several smells point directly to certain car trouble. For example, a maple smell could be caused by a coolant leak, while a burning odor may be due to a worn clutch.
  • Sounds - Lots of car problems are detected by the sound they make. If you hear a screeching while braking, it's time for new brake pads. A grinding noise that occurs while shifting if often associated with low transmission fluid.
  • Leaks - Nothing should ever be leaking from your vehicle. If you spot a drip, head to our shop for proper diagnostics.
  • Lights - Dashboard indicator lights are clear signs of trouble aboard. If any dash light, such as the check engine light, ABS light or battery light, come on, visit Jimmy's!
  • Performance - A drop in fuel efficiency, poor acceleration, hard starting, rough idle and other performance problems should influence you to come see us.

Check Engine Light Diagnostics

For many drivers, the check engine light is nothing but a pesky little dot on their dashboard. It's unfortunate to think of it this way, as it is obviously alerting you to an issue with your vehicle. If the check engine light comes on, don't ignore it! The problem that triggered the light will only grow bigger and more expensive to fix. In many cases the issue at hand starts as something small, such as a failed sensor or even a loose gas cap, but it can grow into a major problem if not properly diagnosed and repaired.
