That rattling noise is your vehicle telling you something is not right. Our vehicles, like our bodies, generally warn of us that something is wrong. The excessive loud noises you are hearing are, most likely, indications that something within your exhaust systems needs attention. You may have holes or cracks somewhere in the exhaust system. Your vehicle may be showing signs of rust or cracks in any component of your exhaust system, which indicates corrosion. If you feel drowsiness while driving or smell an odor, like rotten eggs, this may be a serious sign that fumes are leaking through the vents and into your passenger area. This is very important to have this fixed immediately! Maintaining routine exhaust system services will save you from having to replace the entire exhaust system down the road.

The noise you are hearing is most likely coming from the rear differential. The name ‘differential’ means it can distribute different kinds of speeds to wheels especially during a turn. The effectiveness of the differential is dependent on how precise these gears are arranged and oriented to each other. If, for example, lubrication runs low on the mechanism or the arrangement of the gears goes out of place, rear differential noise occurs. Whining gears, noisy bearings and clunking are common rear differential noises that need to be checked out by a professional technician.

Brrr! The weather is definitely getting colder and having enough heat in your car is important. Not only to keep our bodies warm, but also because heat is needed to remove any fog or ice build-up on your windshield. There are a few reasons why your car’s heater is not getting hot enough. First, your car may need more antifreeze in the radiator. If this is the case, there most likely is a leak somewhere in the system. Another reason for low heat would be a bad thermostat. A thermostat maintains an engine’s optimum operating temperature by regulating the flow of coolant to the radiator. A third reason for your heating issue could be a blower fan that isn’t working properly. You may not be able to feel much air, if any, coming through the vents. It sounds like you may have heat, but the heat is not coming through the vents. Do any of these situations sound like it could be the cause of your problem? Not sure? Give us a call at 608-782-1375.

Chattering noise of old wipers…Eeeeek! That’s one annoying sound! It’s time to get those wipers replaced. Not only do worn out wipers chatter, it won’t be long before they will interfere with your ability to see clearly. Wipers are constantly exposed to the extremes in weather temperatures. It’s no wonder, they get dry, brittle and torn. How many times have you been caught off-guard by the first winter storm of the season, only to have a streaky windshield that you can barely see out of? To avoid those nasty surprises, wiper blades should generally be changed every 6 months. It’s also a good idea to keep your vehicle’s windshield washer fluid topped off as well. Have a safe upcoming winter on the road
