Signs Your Porsche Needs Repair: Our Herndon Auto Shop is Ready!

Unusual Noises

Unusual sounds from your Porsche can be due to various internal defects. Knocking, ticking, or tapping sounds may be caused by engine defects, particularly due to worn ball bearings. A squealing sound during startup or acceleration is caused by a damaged pulley or serpentine coil. If ignored, these issues could lead to severe engine damage and thus should be rectified by Auto Scandia’s ASE-certified & trained technician near Herndon.

Leaking Fluids

If you find puddles of car fluid under your car, then it means there is a leak in the engine. A dark oil puddle under your car means leakage of engine oil that could lead to engine damage if ignored. Green or orange puddles are due to coolant leakage, which could lead to engine overheating. Clear or yellowish fluid is brake fluid, and reddish or brownish fluid leak is transmission fluid; both could lead to severe accidents. Our Herndon auto shop, located on Spring Street, offers comprehensive oil checks and services to help resolve this issue.

Reduced Performance

A sudden drop in performance in power, acceleration, and fuel efficiency indicates multiple damage points inside the vehicle. Loss of power and acceleration is due to a failing engine, fuel system, or turbocharger. Poor handling or bumpy rides are caused by a failed suspension system. Difficulty in shifting gears and slipping gears are due to a damaged transmission system. These problems left unattended will fester and cause severe damage, in some cases breaking down the vehicle. That’s why you should consult our Porsche repair shop in Herndon to get a complete diagnosis of your Porsche.

Dashboard Lights

The inbuilt Onboard Diagnostic system, or OBD system, identifies and triggers dashboard lights that make you aware of which part or component of your vehicle needs repair. Often, it is multiple warning lights as many problems are interconnected in a vehicular system. Our factory-trained technicians in the Herndon facility will successfully identify and rectify the damaged component if you see a warning light in your Porsche.

Engine Overheating

If you see the temperature gauge of your Porsche rise above the normal level, then it is due to engine overheating. Sometimes it causes smoke under the hood and a burning smell inside the car. This can lead to cracked gaskets, component burning, and, in some cases, total engine seizure. If you face this problem in Spring Street, you should visit the Auto Scandia workshop in the neighborhood of Herndon and get your engine a complete check-up.

With 40 years of experience in handling European auto models, our factory-trained, ASE-certified technicians provide you with impeccable repair and maintenance services with the help of factory-grade diagnostic equipment at our Spring Street establishment in Herndon.
