What’s That Noise in My Car?

Have you ever heard a strange noise in your car that mysteriously disappears when you arrive at the shop? We all have! Mechanics are like doctors. Even though we don’t use stethoscopes, we do listen to your car’s body to hear what noises it makes. This helps us diagnose the problem. In fact, sometimes a noise can pinpoint a problem we can’t see at first glance.

If you have experienced weird noises in your car, make sure you let your mechanic know. You can make the sound yourself, describe what the sound is like, or better yet, record the sound with your phone and play it back for the mechanic. Pay attention to when the sound occurs, like when you turn, when you start the car up, or when you turn the air on. All of these details will help your automotive doctor find the problem and prescribe a cure!
