Check Engine Light
Is there any other light on the dashboard that invokes as much fear as the check engine light? We provide check engine light diagnostics to identify what error codes the engine is throwing and what engine repair options are best suited for your vehicle. Don’t avoid that check engine light as it can indicate major mechanical issues that could make driving your vehicle unsafe or at-risk for serious engine repairs in the future.
Knocking Noise
Have you been driving around and noticing a knocking noise? A repetitious tapping or knocking sound needs to be examined by professionals as it normally indicates low oil and the engine is lacking proper lubrication. If the knocking noise continues following an oil change, your car may need additional work to prevent a bottom-end engine rebuild.
Engine Misfire
An engine misfire is normally the result of incomplete combustion within the engine’s cylinders. It is common for the car to stutter when you are idling, or it might feel like shaking or hesitation when you are starting to accelerate. Bring your vehicle to our Roy auto repair shop to have the car diagnosed and fixed before additional engine repairs are needed!
Vibrating
When your vehicle is vibrating, there is usually a problem with the oil and lubrication system. Metal-on-metal contact is one of the main reasons why we find vibrations occurring. Like check engine light woes, do not let your vehicle keep plugging along when you are experiencing any engine vibration.
Loss of Power
It is common for older vehicles to have power issues as batteries get old, starter motors wear out, and alternators can give out. If your vehicle has been stalling or the power shuts off, call our auto engine repair shop as soon as possible. Electrical shortages can easily occur, causing a complete power loss.
Exhaust Smoke
The color of exhaust coming out of your car speaks volumes about the health of your car. If you see black smoke, it indicates there is too much gasoline burning. White smoke can be an indicator of coolant lakes, while blue smoke usually corresponds to oil leaks. Emissions inspections can help catch exhaust issues, but we highly recommend coming in as soon as possible if you have seen an increase in exhaust smoke.
Poor Gas Mileage
Are you noticing your vehicle simply isn’t getting the gas mileage it used to? When you have gas mileage problems, it is important to have the engine examined for compression stroke concerns. Worsening gas mileage isn’t something you should ignore for long as it can continue to worsen and cost you a fortune at the pump!

When your Check Engine Light comes on, your vehicle’s onboard computer has detected a problem. The cause can be as simple as a loose gas cap or a faulty sensor, or as serious as an engine component failure. At Paskett Auto, our mechanics use advanced diagnostic tools to find the exact cause. We explain the problem in plain terms and review your repair options before any work begins. After the repair, we test drive your vehicle to make sure it runs safely and smoothly.
Usually, yes. Most check engine lights do not mean a major drivability problem. They typically point to a sensor that is not working correctly or an emissions fault the system monitors.
Before you drive, check these things:
- Oil pressure. If your vehicle has an oil pressure gauge, make sure it shows pressure. If the oil pressure warning light is on, the engine has lost pressure. In either case, shut the engine off and call for a tow.
- Engine temperature. If the engine is overheating, shut it off. Do not drive it until the cause is found.
- A flashing light. A flashing light means the engine computer is detecting a problem that needs attention soon. In some cases, it signals a serious engine misfire that can damage expensive parts if you keep driving. Reduce speed, avoid hard acceleration, and have the vehicle checked as soon as possible. If the engine runs rough or shakes, call for a tow.
- How the vehicle drives. Loss of power, smoke, or loud knocking are signs to stop driving.
If oil pressure is normal, the engine is not overheating, and the vehicle drives normally, you can generally drive it safely to a repair shop.
