McLaren Specialist in Pompano Beach
McLaren is famous for being the manufacturer that did everything backward. While most manufacturers start by producing road cars and then develop a racing team, McLaren started out a Formula One team, who then took their automotive knowledge and applied it to building superior road cars.
It’s this Motorsport legacy that is hardwired into the DNA of every model McLaren produces that makes these vehicles so desirable. It’s this same DNA that makes owning a McLaren so challenging, as it can be challenging to differentiate between actual issues and race car quirks. Fear not, these are the telltale signs your McLaren Needs Immediate Repair.

Limp Home Mode
Exhaust Smoke
Hesitation Under Acceleration
Fluid Leaks
If you’re thinking of investing in a Mclaren, or already took the plunge, here are some of the most common issues we see with Mclarens:
Being so high-strung, McLaren engines are prone to engine issues, and we often see the camshaft sensor failing, which leads to a struggle starting or sporadically going into limp home mode, or causing the car to misfire regardless of whether the car is idling or being driven.
All modern McLarens are fitted with Dual-clutch automatic transmission, but just like every dual-clutch transmission they are prone to mechatronic unit and valve body issues. As transmission fluid ages and becomes dirty, dirt begins to clog valve bodies lead to a number of issues such as missed shifts or gears becoming completely unavailable.
