Signs You Should Visit Our BMW Repair Shop

November 20th, 2022 by

Driving around town in a BMW car that is in need of repair is not only unsafe for you and your passengers, but it can do long-term damage to your vehicle. Before you reach that point, however, it’s important to be able to understand the warning signs that your vehicle exhibits. Here at our BMW repair shop at BMW of Northwest Arkansas, our mechanics advise that you schedule service if you notice any of the following signs.

Illuminated Check Engine Light

Most BMW cars come with a check engine light that turns on if there is trouble. The check engine light is associated with a number of your vehicle’s inner systems, so if it is turned on, be sure to schedule a service appointment. We have a special diagnostic tool that allows us to determine what exactly the issue is.

Unusual Smells

A car emitting an unusual smell can indicate various things. While many odors indicate minor issues with your vehicle, some may be more severe and require immediate service.

Strange Noises

Hisses, clicks, and squeaking could all indicate an issue under the hood of your BMW car. If the sound is becoming intense or very loud, you should pull over and call our mechanic right away. For less urgent sounds, be sure to make note of:

  • When the sounds occur
  • Where the sounds come from
  • What they sound like

Brakes Behaving Differently

Brakes are critical for both performance and safety, so if you notice any change in the way that they feel, it’s important to take care of the issue. For instance, if you have to press harder on the brake pedal to apply stopping power, be sure to schedule service.
