Question 10

Why are my brakes squeaking?

Accepted Answer

Squeaking brakes are usually caused by worn brake pads, glazed rotors, or dust and debris on the brake components. While some light squeaking is normal, persistent or loud squeaking often indicates your brake pads need replacement. We offer free brake inspections to diagnose the exact cause.

Question 11

Why is my check engine light on?

Accepted Answer

Your check engine light can indicate many things, from a loose gas cap to a failing catalytic converter or oxygen sensor. The light means your vehicle's computer detected an issue that needs attention. We use advanced diagnostic equipment to read the error codes and pinpoint the exact problem.

Question 12

How often should I get my oil changed?

Accepted Answer

Most modern vehicles with synthetic oil can go 7,500 to 10,000 miles between oil changes. However, this varies by vehicle and driving conditions. Colorado's elevation and temperature extremes can affect your oil, so check your owner's manual or ask us for a recommendation specific to your car.

Question 13

What should I do if my car is overheating?

Accepted Answer

If your car is overheating, safely pull over and turn off the engine immediately. Do not open the radiator cap while hot. Let the engine cool for at least 30 minutes, then check your coolant level. If it continues to overheat, have it towed to avoid serious engine damage. We can diagnose cooling system issues.

Question 14

How do I know if I need new tires?

Accepted Answer

Check your tire tread depth using the penny test - insert a penny with Lincoln's head down; if you can see the top of his head, your tread is too low. Also look for uneven wear, cracks, bulges, or vibration while driving. We inspect tires during every service and can recommend replacements when needed.

Question 15

Why is my car making a grinding noise?

Accepted Answer

Grinding noises often indicate metal-on-metal contact, which could mean severely worn brake pads, a failing wheel bearing, transmission issues, or a damaged CV joint. Grinding should be inspected immediately as it can lead to more expensive damage. Bring your car in for a diagnostic inspection.

Question 16

Can I drive with my check engine light on?

Accepted Answer

If the check engine light is steady (not flashing), you can usually drive short distances to get it checked. However, a flashing check engine light indicates a serious problem like engine misfires that can damage your catalytic converter - pull over safely and have your car towed. Either way, get it diagnosed promptly.

Question 17

How long does an oil change take?

Accepted Answer

A standard oil change typically takes 30 to 45 minutes at Adam & Son. This includes draining the old oil, replacing the filter, adding fresh oil, and performing our complimentary multi-point inspection. We'll send you a digital report with photos of your vehicle's condition.

Question 18

Why does my car shake when I brake?

Accepted Answer

Shaking or vibration when braking is usually caused by warped brake rotors or unevenly worn brake pads. This can happen from heavy braking, driving in mountainous areas like Colorado Springs, or normal wear over time. We can resurface or replace your rotors to eliminate the vibration.

Question 19

What does a transmission flush do?

Accepted Answer

A transmission flush removes old, contaminated fluid and replaces it with fresh fluid. This helps maintain smooth shifting, prevents overheating, and extends transmission life. Most vehicles need a transmission service every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, depending on the manufacturer's recommendations.
