Squeaky Brakes

Over time, the brakes of a vehicle experience large amounts of stress. In order to keep the brakes in their best shape, adjustments are sometimes needed. Squeaky brake noise is usually a sign that is it time to schedule an appointment with one of our expert mechanics. There can be a number of different things causing this noise, such as the rotor or the brake pads wearing thin. Trusting one of our mechanics to get the job done correctly will help you get back on the road sooner.

Engine Rattling

When an engine rattles, it is a sign of premature ignition. When this occurs, the problem may be related to varying issues from an overheating engine or damaged parts. One of our expert technicians can help pinpoint and identify the source.

Engine Clicking

If your vehicle is making a clicking noise, this may be signaling that your oil level is too low. One of our mechanics can check the oil level for you with a dipstick. If this doesn't solve your issue, our mechanics can do some further diagnostics to get you back behind the wheel safely.

Knocking From Under the Hood
