Drivability Concerns In Spring Branch, TX

Drivability Concerns in Spring Branch, TX 78070

The term "drivability" means what you would expect it to; it is a word used to describe how your vehicle is able to drive. If your vehicle does not start when you turn the key in the ignition, it cannot drive at all. However, the term “drivability”  also includes all the issues that can arise from a poorly performing engine, transmission, ignition system, or something else. The best way to diagnose drivability problems is to inspect the vehicle as a whole as there can often be several potential sources of the issue. If you are in Spring Branch, TX, Bulverde, TX, Boerne, TX, New Braunfels, TX, Startzville, TX, or nearby and experiencing one or more of the following signs, you can bring your car to The Gear Guy in US:

  • Your vehicle does not turn over when the key is turned (known as a “no-crank condition”).
  • Your vehicle turns over but does not start (known as “crank no-start condition”).
  • Your vehicle shuts off or dies when coming to a stop.
  • Your vehicle dies or hesitates on acceleration (known as “hesitation/dying on acceleration problem”).
  • Your vehicle loses power when driving on hills (known as “lack of power on acceleration problem”).

In addition to troubles with your engine or ignition, other factors can also impact your vehicle's drivability. These signs are universal, whether you drive a Toyota, Chevorlet, Dodge, Jeep, or something else. These include:

Worn out tires - If you are experiencing a rough ride when driving your vehicle, this may be caused by worn or damaged tires.

Screeching brakes - The first sign that your brakes need to be replaced is if they screech when you apply pressure to them. 

An illuminated check engine light - Your check engine light turning on could mean a multitude of things, but it always means that you should bring your vehicle into The Gear Guy as soon as possible. We can perform several services on your vehicle, such as Auto Repair and Alignment Service.
