Check Engine Light Diagnostics
It could be a loose gas cap-or something serious like a failing catalytic converter. Visit us in Lancaster for quick code reading and diagnostics. At Royal Auto Repair, we can pull the code and diagnose the problem for you.
Factory Scheduled Maintenance
Automakers provide a service schedule for each vehicle. Our Lancaster technicians follow this closely for gas and diesel vehicles, domestic or import, to ensure long-term performance.
Headlight and Bulb Replacement
If your bulbs are dim or out, it's time for a replacement. Our Lancaster team installs high-quality bulbs to restore visibility and safety.

FAQs About Automobile Squeaks, Squeals and Rattles
Why is my car making a squealing noise?
It may be a slipping fan belt. Listen for warning signs such as squeaking or chirping noises. These sounds are often caused by misalignment between the belt and pulley. If you come by Royal Auto Repair in Lancaster, our professional auto repair technicians can inspect and realign the belt to stop the noise and address the problem before the belt fails completely.
Why does my car make a noise when I turn the steering wheel?
If your car makes strange sounds or clicking noises when you turn the steering wheel, one possible cause is low power steering fluid. When the fluid level drops, air can enter the power steering system and cause unwanted noises.
Come to Royal Auto Repair to have the power steering system inspected and the fluid level checked. If the noise returns quickly after the fluid is topped off, your vehicle may have a power steering fluid leak. Our professionals in Lancaster can diagnose the cause and recommend the appropriate repair.
Why does my car squeal when I start it in the morning?
A squealing noise when starting your vehicle can be caused by a worn or loose belt. Depending on the vehicle and the source of the noise, the issue may involve an accessory drive belt or another belt-driven component. Because some belt failures can lead to serious mechanical problems, unusual or persistent noises should be inspected promptly. Come to Royal Auto Repair and our technicians can determine the source of the noise and recommend the proper repair.
Leaking Fluid FAQs
Why is water leaking on my foot on the driver's side?
The most common cause is a blocked air conditioning drain hose. This is typically a straightforward repair at Royal Auto Repair. Other possible causes of water leaking onto the driver's side floor include a damaged door seal or a leaking heat exchanger. Our technicians can inspect the source of the leak and determine the appropriate repair.
What should I do if my car creates a small oil leak on my driveway?
If the spill is still wet, cover the stain with an absorbent material such as clay cat litter, sand, cornmeal, cornstarch, or baking soda. This can help absorb the oil before it soaks further into the concrete. Once the spill has dried, sweep up the absorbent material and clean the remaining stain with soap and water.
A small oil leak on your driveway is also an indication that something may be wrong with your vehicle. Bring your car to Royal Auto Repair so the source of the leak can be diagnosed. An oil leak should not be ignored because loss of engine oil can eventually lead to serious engine damage.
Why is my car leaking a sweet-smelling fluid?
If you notice a sweet-smelling fluid leaking from your vehicle, coolant or antifreeze may be the source. A coolant leak can become a serious problem if left unaddressed. If the coolant level becomes too low, the engine may overheat and potentially suffer engine damage. Have the vehicle inspected promptly to locate and repair the leak.

What Our Customers Are Saying
John and staff are awesome. Had an exhaust problem that needed to be resolved and they jumped right on it. Could not be happier with the response and action taken to repair the problem and get me back on the road. Many Thanks!
My father took all our vehicles here since I was a kid and I?ve continued the tradition to this day. John, Larry and now Bjarne are and always have been those local trustworthy mechanics you want to do business with. They fix in a timely manner, have been honest when it?s not worth fixing, and are always sure to do the job right. From fixing my car to providing tips and advice when I wanted to do it myself, these guys are the best. Always bring you car here!
My Wife and I have been going to Royal Auto Repair for at least several years now. John has always been professional and is very knowledgeable about cars & trucks. We have always been treated well there and his honest no nonsense approach is refreshing. We look forward to bringing our vehicles in there regularly.
John just replaced the engine on our 2004 Camry. He has taken care of our car for the last seven years and we could not be happier. We look forward to another 250,000 miles on our car!
