Leak Decoder

What's Leaking Under My Car?

Look at the spot on the ground. The color tells you most of the story.

The spot looks

Usually normal

Clear, like water

Can I keep driving? Yes.

Clear water dripping near the front passenger side on a warm day is almost always AC condensation.

What it usually is

AC condensation. If it's clear but oily or smells, it may be something else.

Try first

Touch it. Water has no feel or smell.

About Engine Diagnostics

Most cars built in recent years have onboard systems that track engine performance. When a warning light comes on, we connect a scan tool to read the stored codes. That gives us a starting point, then we confirm the cause before any repair. Call for a time and we come to the car.

Before Any Repair

We explain what we found and what it means for your car. On a vehicle you depend on daily, it helps to address issues early.

Services We Handle Every Day

Brake service, engine diagnostics, oil changes, suspension and steering, heating and A/C, and electrical work.

Questions We Get Every Day

How long does a brake job take?

Call for a time. We check your pads and rotors first and explain what your car needs before we start any work.

Can you look at a used car before I buy it?

Yes. We offer car inspections so you can understand the condition of a used car before you make a decision.

Do you work on trucks and BMWs?

Yes. We handle a range of vehicles including trucks and BMWs, along with most other makes and models.

How do I know if my brakes need service?

Squeaking, grinding, or a pulling feel when you brake are common signs. We check your brakes and show you what we find before any work is done.

Is there a fee to look at my car?

Call us to ask about a diagnostic check. We explain the issue clearly once we have looked it over.

Tell Us What Is Wrong. We Will Take It From There.

Call and describe the issue, and we will let you know what we can check.
