Car Sounds and What the Issue Could Be
  Â
Whether you own or lease a car, it's essential to have it serviced. It's especially important to visit our Chevrolet auto shop if your vehicle is making strange sounds. If you start hearing any of the below noises, seek professional assistance immediately.
Squeaky Brakes
When brakes start squealing, it's typically because the brake pads are worn. Most brake pads are engineered to make this noise as they get older and less efficient. With that said, there's no reason to panic if you hear screeching as you come to a halt.
Engine Rattling
When an engine rattles, it's possibly due to something wrong with the ignition. An engine rattling sound is typically described when the air-fuel mixture in the engine cylinder is ignited prematurely, known as pre-ignition or pre-detonation. This condition can also be caused by the engine overheating or incorrect fuel octane. Check your owner's manual to confirm that you are using the correct grade of fuel.
Engine Clicking
If your engine starts clicking, check your car's valve train. A disruption to this mechanical system will cause your engine to click. A failing pump or insufficient oil pressure are some other complications that could be causing this issue.
Knocking Under the Hood
If you hear tapping or knocking coming from under your hood, consider the gasoline that you're fueling your car with. If you're using low-quality petroleum, expect your vehicle to make these unusual sounds.
Engine Squealing
A squeaky engine is indicative of a faulty serpentine belt. Over time, the serpentine belt gets loose and tattered. As it ages, this belt is likely to make your engine squeal.
