If your vehicle had a heartbeat, it would be the engine. That’s why it is important to keep it running like the day you bought your car. The team at McCurley’s Shell knows engines inside and out and are happy to provide Atlanta drivers with a comprehensive offering of engine services and repairs.
Engine Services
The easiest way to avoid engine failure is to stay on top of your regular engine service and maintenance. When you have a mechanic you can trust like McCurley’s Shell, that is easy to do. From oil changes to filter replacements to tuneups, our team is ready to do it all.
Signs Your Engine Needs a Repair
Even when you stay on top of engine maintenance, it isn’t a guarantee that it will never be in need of repair. Knowing the signs that it is time to call McCurley’s Shell can help you catch and repair a minor issue before it turns into major engine trouble.
Your Check Engine Light is On
While an illuminated check engine light could mean something as simple as a loose gas cap, it could also be a sign of engine malfunction. If your check engine light is blinking or on, we suggest coming in for a quick diagnostic test. Our diagnostics system will thoroughly check your vehicle’s entire system and determine if the culprit is in your engine or elsewhere.
Strange Noises
Anytime you notice strange noises coming from under your hood, it is a bad sign. Whether your engine is knocking or squealing, it is a good idea to bring your car into McCurley’s Shell as soon as possible. Every mechanic in our shop is armed with the knowledge, experience, and tools to diagnose and repair your engine so you can be back on the road in no time at all.
Exhaust Smoke
If you are noticing an abnormal amount of exhaust smoke coming from your tailpipe, it may be an indicator of major engine problems. Believe it or not, the color of the smoke may indicate the actual issue. Blue means you are burning oil, black is a sign that you are burning gas, and white shows that your vehicle is burning coolant. Whatever the color or cause, McCurley’s Shell can handle it.
