2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 in Topeka, KS - Cable Dahmer of Topeka

Do you wonder why your Chevrolet is guzzling gas, feels slow and sluggish, and idles roughly? Why do you hear strange noises or smell unpleasant odors? The check engine light is on, but you can’t figure out why. The problem can be pinpointed quickly and accurately with an engine diagnostic from our GM dealer in Topeka, KS before you have to fork out trunkloads of cash for expensive repairs or even rebuilds and replacements.

The Check Engine Light Is On

When the check engine light is on or flickering, it’s a warning that there is a problem somewhere that needs fixing. The problem will not go away and cause further damage that could be costly to repair. Ignoring the warning light will make matters worse. It’s best to ask one of our Chevrolet technicians to perform a diagnostic test to precisely determine what is triggering the check engine light and get the problem sorted out fast.  

Poor Gas Mileage

Countless issues can cause your Chevrolet to guzzle gas. If you notice you have to fill up your tank at the gas station more often, even if you drive the same distances, a diagnostic test at your dealership will determine the cause of the problem. Our Chevrolet maintenance team members will fix the issue fast and effectively, and you will save money on gas.

Your Car Feels Slow and Sluggish

Yet again, there are many reasons why your Chevrolet could suddenly be losing power. You step on the accelerator, but your vehicle is slow to respond and feels a bit sluggish. The cause of the problem could be a dirty air filter, a faulty fuel pump, a sensor malfunction, or a bad fuel filter. Ask our Service Department for a diagnostic test to determine the exact cause of the problem.

Rough Idling

If your Chevrolet is not purring like a kitten and sounds more like an angry lion, you’ve got a problem. Clogged air filters, bad spark plugs, dirty fuel injectors, and a malfunctioning fuel pump can all cause your car to idle roughly. Take the guesswork out of car troubles and let a diagnostic test determine why your car idles roughly. One of our Chevrolet technician experts will perform the necessary repairs before a minor issue escalates into a costly repair.

New Noises

You know what your Chevrolet sounds like and when you start hearing new noises coming from under the hood, schedule a diagnostic test at our dealership as soon as possible. When mechanical parts malfunction or break, they make all sorts of strange noises. The longer you wait, the more cash you will have to spend to fix the problem.

Strange Smells

If you get a whiff of exhaust fumes, gas, or any other unpleasant odor inside the cabin, it’s time to visit your dealership for a diagnostic test. Smells occur when there is a problem somewhere that needs attention. Don’t wait too long before you address the issue. Fumes inside your Chevrolet’s cabin are harmful to your health and need to be sorted out asap.

Smoke From the Tailpipe

If there is grey, blue, or black smoke pouring out of your tailpipe, it could be caused by anything from a damaged air filter and faulty fuel injectors to a clogged fuel filter and engine damage. Act fast and get a diagnostic test so that the problem can be dealt with quickly.
