The check engine light, also known as the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL), is a warning from your car's engine computer that something is wrong. The light can indicate a range of issues, from minor to serious, and the color of the light can also indicate the severity of the problem.

Light colors, and what they mean-
Orange, yellow, or amber - A non-emergency problem that should be addressed soon.

Flashing - A more serious problem, such as a misfire that can quickly overheat the catalytic converter.

A radiator is the part of your vehicle that keeps the engine cool and protects it from excessive heating. To be cool, the radiator needs to remain clean - always. With time, sludge, rust and other solid deposits build up inside your car's radiator. These make the cooling system become clogged and less effective. This in effect, hurts your vehicle's performance. A regular radiator flush is enough to keep the system in shape. For this reason, make radiator flushing a part of your routine car maintenance schedule. Call us today to make your appointment. 614-873-4470

How to Tell When You Need Clutch Repairs or Replacement

Knowing when to visit a trusted clutch repair shop can save you time and money. Here are common signs that you may need car clutch replacement or repairs:

Slipping Gears — A worn clutch can cause your car to slip out of gear or lose power when accelerating.

Difficulty Shifting — If it becomes hard to change gears or you hear grinding noises when shifting, it could indicate a failing clutch.

Burning Smell — A noticeable burning odor when driving, especially uphill or under load, can signal clutch wear.

Spongy or Stiff Pedal — A clutch pedal that feels unusually soft or stiff may mean hydraulic or mechanical problems.

Unusual Noises — Clunking, squealing, or chirping sounds when pressing the clutch could indicate worn bearings or other internal damage.

If you notice any of these signs, bring your car to Lucore Automotive for an inspection by a skilled clutch mechanic. 614-873-4470

When you start your vehicle, the engine kicks into action, creating thousands of controlled explosions every minute. These combustion events release gases like carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and hydrocarbons, substances that, if not managed properly, can harm both your health and the environment.

Your exhaust system plays a vital role in redirecting these gases safely away from the engine and cabin. If this system fails, it doesn’t just affect your vehicle’s performance; it puts you and your passengers at risk. That’s why drivers in Central Ohio turn to Lucore Automotive for reliable exhaust system repair and diagnostics.

Give us a call today, and keep you and your passengers safe on the road ahead- 614-873-4470
