Our service center is here to handle all of your Mazda repair needs, but we also want drivers to know when their car is experiencing mechanical issues. The mechanics here at Heritage Mazda Catonsville can tell you what to look out for, including these odd noises, performance issues, and strange behaviors.
Knocking Noises
If you hear a knocking noise when your car is running, the culprit is probably your engine. All sorts of mechanical issues can cause this problem, so it can be hard to diagnose the source on your own. It's wise to schedule a service appointment if your car is noisier than usual.
Declining Fuel Economy
A drop in fuel efficiency can also be a sign of mechanical problems. Gas is expensive, so we probably don't have to tell you that you should visit our Mazda service center to get to the bottom of things as soon as possible. If you need repairs or new Mazda parts, we'll make sure that you get them.
Electrical Problems
If your car lights dim or seem to struggle to stay on, that can be a sign of electrical problems. This can eventually affect your ability to start your car, so it's more than a minor inconvenience. We'll figure out if there's a problem with the battery or another crucial car component.
Grinding or Screeching Brakes
When you hit your brakes to slow down or come to a stop, that usually isn't accompanied by loud noises. A grinding or screeching sound can indicate a problem with the brake pads or another part, and that means it's time to visit our Mazda technicians.
So if you've experienced any of the above, don't delay. Schedule an appointment at our Mazda service center near Baltimore. Our factory-trained mechanics are ready to assist you.
