- Engine RepairQ: Why does my car keep saying the coolant level is low? A: If a low coolant warning light is on do not continue to drive and go directly to the auto repair shop. It is simple and often inexpensive to fix at Becker Auto Repair. Waiting to get the problem resolved can result in high-cost engine repairs. If the low coolant warning light continues to flash on, then there is a leak in the car's cooling system. Coolant fluid can leak in several ways. First, external leaks from radiator hoses, second, connections between hoses, or lastly, from the radiator itself. Your car's radiator cap may leak due to a faulty seal on the cap which can be easily resolved by a specialist at our shop in Alexandria.

- Spark Plug ReplacementAt Becker Auto Repair we recommend replacing spark plugs before they reach the 80,000-mile mark.
