Why is My Car Making That Noise?

Nothing can make your heart race faster than hearing an out-of-place noise coming from your car. Sounds are definitely indicative of a problem, and they should be addressed as soon as possible to keep you and others safe and to help you save money!

Whining/ Squealing 

If you hear a whining or squealing noise in your car, this is usually a belt that needs attention. Although belts are not a major engine function, they are still very important and can cause some big problems if you lose one. 

Ticking

A ticking sound could be low engine oil.

Knocking 

Low on oil or damage to the engine 

Scraping 

Brakes or something under the hood.

Grinding 

Wheel bearing.

Bottom Line?

No matter what the noise is or where it's coming from, you should have it inspected sooner rather than later. The earlier you address a problem, the better because if an issue goes unrepaired, it can turn into a bigger, more expensive, and potentially dangerous problem!
