Is your car’s engine making strange noises that you never noticed before? You shouldn’t wait for a breakdown to do something about those sounds. Jack Stoldt Auto Service Center in Springfield, IL offers reliable car maintenance by ASE-certified mechanics. We can help you determine the source of those annoying sounds, whether it’s a bad filter, a leaky hose, or something that requires more attention.
Popping Sounds
The severity of the problem can vary from something as simple as an air filter clog to something far more serious. If you notice a popping sound, you shouldn’t ignore it because you may have an engine exhaust leak. A certified mechanic can get to the root of the issue and suggest the correct car repair options.
Hissing Noises
Whenever you hear hissing, it signals leaks or overheating because the vapor is escaping somewhere to produce the noise. Just like with popping noises, you could be looking at a minor and easy fix or something that requires more attention. Bringing your vehicle into our shop in Springfield, IL for an engine inspection will allow us to determine whether you require a simple fix or a more complex vehicle repair.
Engine Knocking
Engine knocking usually indicates a problem somewhere in your fuel injection or ignition system. When spark plugs or fuel injectors fail, fuel may be present in your cylinders. This is a problem because the combustion of fuel is what moves the pistons and the presence of gas in your cylinders indicates that the fuel isn’t being ignited efficiently. You definitely shouldn’t wait to bring your car in for an engine diagnostics test to find the root of the issue.
Squeaking or Squealing
Most squeaks or squeals come from your brakes. Modern brake pads are actually designed to make a high-pitched noise when they’re near the end of their life. This is so that you have time to bring the car into the shop before you begin grinding your rotors down. Jack Stoldt Auto Services Center can make sure that your entire braking system is working the way that it should when you bring your vehicle in so that you stay safe on the road.
Grinding or Rumbling
The best way to determine the source of a grinding or rumbling sound is to consider where it’s coming from when you hear it. Damaged mufflers are known to make this sound because they’re no longer reducing your engine’s noise like they did before. A faulty transmission also makes rumbling or grinding sounds, so pay attention to whether the sound occurs during shifting and is accompanied by shaking or lurching.
