Common Repair Options
Finding yourself broke down on the side of one of Mira Mesa’s roadways can be frustrating - we can get you back up and running. Some of our most common repairs that we do are:
- Catalytic Converter Replacement: A catalytic converter replacement is necessary when the catalytic converter — an important part of your car’s exhaust system — is damaged, clogged, or no longer functioning properly. The catalytic converter helps reduce harmful emissions from the engine by converting toxic gases like carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into less harmful substances (such as carbon dioxide and water vapor).
- Check Engine Light: When the check engine light turns on, it doesn’t necessarily mean you need to stop driving immediately. However, it does mean that your car has detected a problem, and it should be diagnosed and addressed.
- Clutch Replacement: Clutch replacement is a common repair for vehicles with manual transmissions. The clutch is a crucial component in the drivetrain that allows you to engage and disengage the engine from the wheels, enabling you to change gears smoothly. Over time, the clutch can wear out, leading to issues that make shifting difficult or cause slipping, ultimately requiring a replacement.
- Hybrid Repair: Keeping your Hybrid car running is our specialty!
- Shocks & Struts: Shocks and struts are vital components of your car’s suspension system. They help provide a smooth and controlled ride by absorbing the impact of road bumps, vibrations, and other imperfections. While they both perform similar functions, they are different parts and serve slightly different roles in the suspension - we don’t expect you to know the difference, just bring in your car and we can help!
- Suspension: Suspension refers to the system of components in a vehicle that connect the wheels to the chassis (the main body of the car). The suspension is responsible for maintaining proper tire contact with the road, absorbing shocks from bumps and uneven surfaces, and ensuring a smooth and stable ride. It also helps in both steering and handling.
- Truck Repair: Trucks are different from cars in both looks and what they can be used for - while cars are typically used for transporting people, trucks are used to transport cargo and we can keep your truck up and running!
Common FAQs On Most Common Car Breakdowns
My car is making a clicking sound and won’t start - what is the problem?
Most likely this is an issue with your battery and it’s time for it to be replaced. If you are in the Mira Mesa area, swing on over to Miramar Automotive & Transmission and we can test your battery and get you going with a new one.
My car is overheating - what do I do?
Low coolant levels, a broken radiator, a faulty thermostat, or a damaged water pump can cause an engine to overheat - and all of these things can be taken care of by our technicians. You can swing through Mira Mesa and come by our shop in San Diego.
My car has been stuttering - what is the problem?
A failing fuel pump can prevent fuel from reaching the engine. This can happen from wear and tear or clogged filters. If you live in the Mira Mesa area, give us a call and we can get your car back up and running properly.
My car’s engine seems to be running rough - why?
A faulty spark plug, bad ignition coil, or issues with the fuel system can lead to engine misfires - we can run a diagnostics test on your vehicle and help you figure out the problem.
