Computer Diagnostic Equipment

This allows our auto mechanics to quickly and accurately determine a problem with a vehicle so it can be fixed appropriately. Our scanners and other tools are compatible with most makes and models of European, Asian and domestic vehicles. If you experience hard starting, see a dashboard warning light, hear a strange noise or have another reason to believe you need car service, please visit us for expert auto diagnostics in Manchester.
Check Engine Light Repair
One of the most common signs of car trouble is the illumination of the check engine light. This light can indicate many different forms of trouble, ranging from very minor to major. It is important to visit the auto shop as soon as this light turns on to receive check engine light repair. The longer you wait, the worse the problem will get and the more expensive it will become to fix the issue that triggered it. For example, a failed sensor that may cost a couple hundred dollars to repair could turn into a need for catalytic converter repair, which costs upwards of $1,000 for some vehicles.
Dashboard Warning Lights
Your dashboard is home to numerous warning lights besides the check engine light. If any of these indicator lights turn on, head to Phil and Son Auto Repair for professional automotive diagnostics. These lights represent many systems in your car. You may see the alternator light, battery light, engine temperature light, ABS light, TPMS light or oil light, among others. Immediate service is necessary to prevent long term problems from setting in.
Signs of Car Trouble
While dashboard warning lights are a key indicator of trouble, there are many other ways to detect car problems. The following are a few of the most common signs of car trouble. If you encounter any of them, please visit us for proper diagnostics and repair.
- Odd Car Noises - Many car problems will create strange noises. A few examples include worn brake pads, which result in a squeaking or whining noise when you try to slow your car, or low transmission fluid, which causes a grinding noise as you shift.
- Car Smells - Several common car problems will generate odors. One of the most common smells reported is of maple syrup, which is the result of a coolant leak. Another problem that creates a weird smell is a worn clutch, which can cause a burning odor.
- Automotive Fluid Leaks - Nothing should ever be leaking from your car. If you spot a drip, come see us. We fix all leaks, including engine oil leaks, coolant leaks, transmission fluid leaks, brake fluid leaks and power steering fluid leaks.
- Vibrations - Any shaking or vibrating that occurs within your vehicle should be reported to your mechanic. For example, if your gas pedal vibrates, your car may have an exhaust leak.
