The fuel pump is in charge of transferring fuel from the gas tank to the engine. Your car won't start if the gas tank is damaged. The following is a list of the most common symptoms of a failed fuel pump. When you need fuel pump repair, contact G & J Auto Repair Shop in Inglewood and Bellflower, CA, for expert service. Sputtering or Sluggish Engine Performance Your engine should run smoothly if your fuel pump is operating properly. The engine won't have what it needs to produce power and work properly if the fuel pump isn't supplying it with enough gasoline, and you'll sense and hear the difference. When you turn it on, if your car sputters or idles unevenly, it might not be getting enough gas. This can result in internal engine damage and a rough ride. Lowered Fuel Efficiency If your car typically gets high gas mileage but suddenly starts guzzling it, there might be an issue with the engine. Fuel will flow into the engine system in excess if the relief valve on the fuel pump fails to open. Visit your neighborhood mechanic right away if you notice you are stopping at the gas station more often than usual. Trouble With Acceleration The fuel pump may be the cause of unexpected power loss or engine misfiring when you're moving at a constant speed. Your car may slow down and have problems accelerating if the gasoline pump motor runs into unequal resistance. Get your vehicle checked out immediately if it is having trouble accelerating. Fuel Pump Repair in Inglewood and Bellflower At G & J Auto Repair Shop, we fix auto trouble big and small. We understand that if you need the services of our local car mechanics, things may not be going as planned. To get you back on the road quickly, we’ve invested in modern auto diagnostic technology and we always use factory-correct parts, ensuring repairs are completed properly the first time. When you need fuel pump repair, be sure to give us a call at  310-981-6976  to reach our Bellflower shop.

Transmission slippage happens when your vehicle shifts into the wrong gear for the speed it is driving. If your transmission slips, get it checked as quickly as possible. Driving with a faulty transmission is exceedingly dangerous and can lead to an accident. We discuss the most common signs of a slipping transmission below. When your transmission is showing signs of trouble, contact G & J Auto Repair Shop in Inglewood and Bellflower, CA, for expert service. Trouble Changing Gears In manual transmission vehicles, pay particular attention to how the transmission shifts. The gearbox may be worn out if shifting becomes difficult or the clutch frequently pops out of gear. Gears in automated transmissions can also slip. Worse, the transmission may begin to shift gears on its own, which is dangerous and may cause your vehicle to stall while driving. Difficulty Accelerating If you press on the gas and feel a lack of power, or if your car is slow or sluggish in general, your transmission may be slipping. To get your car moving, you may need to press the gas pedal forcefully. Another red flag is having high RPMs but low speeds. Unusual Sounds and Odors Grinding gears are the most common sounds heard in manual transmissions, which is a solid sign that your automobile is experiencing transmission slippage. Pay close attention to any unusual odors, particularly burnt ones. Any distinctive noises or odors coming from your vehicle should be investigated by a mechanic. Transmission Services in Inglewood and Bellflower G & J Auto Repair shop offers expert automatic transmission repair, CVT transmission repair, and manual transmission repair at our shops in Inglewood and Bellflower. We also perform clutch repairs, transmission rebuilding, and transmission replacement for most cars and trucks. Common signs that it is time to service your vehicle’s gearbox include hard shifting, delayed shifting, a burning smell while shifting, inability to shift, or a transmission fluid leak. If you notice any of these issues, or another transmission problem, be sure to give us a call at  310-981-6976  to reach our Bellflower shop. To schedule an appointment in Inglewood, call  310-981-6976  , and we’d be happy to accommodate you.

The CV axles are needed to transfer power between the transmission and the wheels. As a key component that can influence any vehicle, CV axle issues should be taken seriously. Below, we go over some of the most prevalent issues that arise with CV axles. When you need CV axle repair, contact G & J Auto Repair Shop in Inglewood and Bellflower, CA, for expert service. Excessive Bouncing While Driving Although there are other factors, a damaged half-shaft is one of the main causes of a bumpy ride. These vibrations might seem excessively bouncy and frequently get more intense when moving at high speeds. The driving experience will be significantly impacted by CV axles because of their proximity to the wheels. Hearing Clicking Sounds When Turning When the car turns, this sound—often characterized as a loud snap or pop—occurs. The joints are either too loose or the rubber boot that prevents the joint from rubbing against other objects has been damaged if the CV axle is making this noise. Grease on the Inside of the Wheels For optimal performance, the CV axle boot needs to be sufficiently oiled. A damaged boot may develop leaks that seep into the tires and wheel edges of the car. If there is a leak, the boot will struggle to maintain an appropriate level of lubrication, which can quickly result in CV axle failure. Any of the aforementioned signs in your vehicle should be inspected by a mechanic as soon as possible. CV Axle Repair in Inglewood and Bellflower At G & J Auto Repair Shop, we fix auto trouble big and small, including CV axle repair. We understand that if you need the services of our local car mechanics, things may not be going as planned. To get you back on the road quickly, we’ve invested in modern auto diagnostic technology and we always use factory-correct parts, ensuring repairs are completed properly the first time.

It never hurts to look for ways to reduce your fuel costs. Below, we discuss how maintaining your tires can help you get better gas mileage. When you need new tires or tire services, contact G & J Auto Repair Shop in Inglewood and Bellflower, CA, for expert service. Install Fuel-efficient Tires Tires that use less fuel are a great way to lower gas costs. Consider tires with low rolling resistance to save up to 11 percent on fuel. There is a certain amount of rolling resistance in every tire. It is the force necessary to get a tire to roll. Tires with low rolling resistance require less energy to move, which results in fuel savings. Get a Tire Alignment Tire alignment is helpful for maintaining proper alignment when driving. It's essential for a comfortable ride as well as for sustaining the health of your tires and getting better gas mileage. Fuel efficiency can be reduced by as much as 10 percent due to misaligned tires. Have your tires adjusted every 6,000 miles to keep them in their best condition. Keep Tires Properly Inflated Underinflated tires reduce gas mileage since the engine needs to work harder to power the vehicle. When tires are filled properly, gas mileage can rise by up to 3 percent. Ensure that the PSI indicated in your owner's handbook is used to properly inflate your tires. Check your tire pressure once a month. Get Regular Rotations A rotation involves removing the tires, switching the front and rear tires, and putting them back on the vehicle. All four tires will wear out at the same rate since two of the four tires deteriorate more quickly than the others. Even tire wear increases traction, fuel efficiency, and ride comfort. We recommend rotating your tires every 5,000 to 7,500 miles. Tire Services in Inglewood and Bellflower G & J Auto Repair Shop is your source for tire services and new tire sales in Bellflower and Inglewood for all makes and models.

Even if the weird clicking noises coming from your car are nothing to be concerned about, it’s better not to ignore them. A clicking noise can be made for a number of reasons, including driving or turning the ignition. Below is a list of some of the most typical clicking triggers. When you need a solution for your car’s clicking, contact G & J Auto Repair Shop in Inglewood and Bellflower, CA, for expert service. One Click If there is only one click, the starter may require repair. If this happens, it may be necessary to replace the starter, which is responsible for starting the engine. If the starter turns out not to be the issue, it could be an electrical issue or a faulty starter relay. Rapid Clicking If your car makes a brief clicking noise when you turn it on, the electrical system may not be functioning properly. The two most typical offenders are either a dead battery or an inefficient alternator. Jump-starting the battery may temporarily fix the problem, but to avoid a breakdown on the road, it's critical to get your vehicle inspected straight away. While Driving Slowly If you frequently hear a clicking noise when driving at a moderate speed, the CV joints may be to blame. Look for telltale wear indicators such as cracks or leaks in the CV joints. Significant joint deterioration will require replacement. You might need to entirely replace the axle if you wait too long. It's possible that the brake pads are to blame for this noise as well. When lightly pressed, poorly positioned brake pads may click.

For effective operation, all vehicles need functioning rotors. Rotors assist your car in coming to a safe stop when you apply the brakes. Listed below are a few indicators that it's time to replace your rotors. When you suspect rotor trouble, contact G & J Auto Repair Shop in Inglewood and Bellflower, CA, for expert service. Check the Thickness Rotors should still be inspected every time your car is serviced even though they last twice as long as brake pads. By testing the thickness of your rotors, mechanics can determine whether they need to be replaced. Your car's service manual will state the minimum thickness your rotors can withstand, or the number may be etched right onto the rotors. Loud Noises When Braking It is possible that the brake rotors are worn out or broken if you hear a screeching sound when you apply the brakes. When it's time to replace the brake pads, some models have a mechanical wear sensor that emits an audible signal. When you bring your vehicle in for brake pad repair, rotors should also be inspected. The Rotors Are Visibly Damaged Road debris and regular wear and tear can eventually ruin rotors. As rotors age, they may have fractures or grooves. One of two groups can be used to classify rotor cracks. Racing vehicles might experience hairline cracks due to operating at high temperatures. These cracks are common, and new rotors are not necessary. Larger cracks, however, that go all the way to the rotor's edges must be repaired or replaced. Brake and Rotor Repair in Inglewood and Bellflower When you need rotor or brake repair, be sure to visit G & J Auto Repair Shop in Inglewood or Bellflower. Each of our local auto shops is staffed by skilled technicians who will ensure your vehicle is safe, reliable, and comfortable to drive.

The replacement or repair of an engine is one of the most expensive jobs that car owners will ever go through. Engine issues should be inspected as soon as you suspect them. We discuss the most common engine failure warning indicators below. When you suspect engine trouble, contact G & J Auto Repair Shop in Inglewood and Bellflower, CA, for expert service. Loud Knocking Noises An engine problem is likely to be to blame if you hear knocking from beneath the hood. These noises are often brought on by bearing wear. Your car's bearings begin to degrade after 75,000 miles or when they are not properly lubricated. Consult a mechanic before your engine malfunctions since bearings have an effect on all other engine parts. The Engine Lacks Power Having an older car can make acceleration more difficult. There may be problems even while the car is idle. There are a number of causes for this issue, however, a clogged part is the primary culprit in most cases. Injectors, fuel filters, or air filters can all be blocked, resulting in a lack of power. When these components are covered in dirt, they stop functioning. Low engine power may be caused by a clogged exhaust pipe, faulty sensors, or spark plugs. Exhaust Smoke is Pouring Out Excessive exhaust smoke is bad news for your vehicle and the environment. The color of the smoke can help you determine what's wrong. Blue smoke normally denotes an oil leak or other oil issue, whereas white smoke points to a cooling system or injector problem. When an engine is using too much fuel, it may emit black smoke. Engine Repair and Replacement in Inglewood and Bellflower Our local engine shop is staffed by skilled technicians who provide import and domestic engine repair, engine rebuild, and engine replacement services for all makes and models. By pairing computer diagnostic equipment with years of under-the-hood experience, our mechanics can quickly and accurately identify and fix engine issues.

A vehicle’s suspension is essential for keeping it upright and preventing rollover when driving. The most common warning signs that your car requires suspension repair are listed below. When it’s time to schedule suspension repair or maintenance, contact G & J Auto Repair Shop in Inglewood and Bellflower, CA, for expert service. A Rough Ride Unless you're off-roading, you shouldn't feel every bump in the road. Your car's struts and shock absorbers are in charge of keeping your ride smooth when you're driving through rough terrain. Have a professional inspect your struts and shock absorbers if driving over small bumps feels like driving over a pothole. It is recommended that they be replaced every 50,000 to 100,000 miles, depending on how often the car is driven. Steering Struggles A suspension problem is the most frequent reason for a car to swerve to one side while being driven. It is likely that turning will become more challenging, even at moderate speeds. If the vehicle makes a screeching sound when turning, check the power steering fluid. While your car is parked, you might notice that one side is lower than the other. Even though some cars are built this way on purpose, if this seems strange, examine the struts, springs, and shock absorbers. Tires With Uneven Tread If one tire loses tread sooner than the others due to uneven wear, your car can blow a tire. Uneven tire tread can be caused by a variety of things, such as damaged suspension components and worn-out shocks or struts. When inspecting the suspension, make sure the control arms, bushings, tie rod ends, ball joints, and wheel bearings are all in good working condition. Suspension Repair in Inglewood and Bellflower Shocks, struts, and other suspension components play a key role in the safety, comfort, fuel efficiency, and overall driveability of your vehicle. If you encounter any signs of suspension trouble, such as excessive bouncing, the car leaning to one corner, odd tire wear, drifting, or a rolling feeling while cornering, visit us for professional suspension repair in Inglewood or Bellflower. We’ll replace shocks and struts and complete other services to keep your vehicle driving like new.
