Your car might still be running - but is it running well? At M C Motors in Ashford, Kent, we help drivers catch small problems before they become costly repairs or leave them stranded. If your car’s due for a service or showing any of these signs, now’s the time to act.
1. Warning Lights on the Dashboard
The engine management light, oil pressure warning or brake light are there for a reason — they’re your car’s way of saying something needs urgent attention. Ignoring them can lead to serious damage and expensive repairs.
What to do: Book a service with diagnostic testing. We’ll identify the issue quickly and explain what’s needed.
2. Strange Noises
Whether it’s a squeak, clunk, rattle or grinding noise, unusual sounds often mean worn or damaged components like suspension, brakes or bearings.
What to do: Our technicians will inspect your vehicle and fix the issue before it gets worse.
3. Reduced Performance or Poor Fuel Economy
If your car feels sluggish, isn’t pulling as it should or seems to be burning more fuel than usual, a dirty air filter, old spark plugs or tired engine oil could be the cause.
What to do: A full service will replace key filters and fluids and restore performance.
4. Vibrations or Steering Problems
If your car vibrates at speed, pulls to one side or feels unstable when braking, you could have issues with your tyres, alignment, brakes or suspension.
What to do: We’ll identify and correct the fault with safe, long-term fixes — not just temporary patch-ups.
5. High Mileage Without Servicing
Even if everything feels fine, long periods without a service can lead to hidden wear and tear. Most manufacturers recommend a service every 12 months or 10,000–12,000 miles, whichever comes first.
