3 Signs Your Chevy Needs Maintenance
Regular maintenance reduces long-term repair bills, as worn parts can be replaced and minor issues corrected before they can cause serious problems. Maintenance also ensures your Chevy always operates at peak performance. As your Chevy dealership, we’d like you to know a few signs you need to visit us for some maintenance.
Thudding Noises
Thudding noises from the engine compartment when driving are usually a sign that one or both of your engine mounts have been damaged. Engine mounts are tough liquid-filled connectors that fix your engine to the frame. Their liquid-filled interiors provide a cushioning effect by reducing engine movement and protecting the engine against vibration damage from the surface.
As time passes, the rubber can crack, and the liquid will be lost. This removes the mount’s shock-absorbing ability and allows the engine to move up and down slightly when driving. While the engine can’t break free from a damaged mount, it will suffer unnecessary wear and tear due to the up-and-down movement. We’ll replace one or both mounts to fix this problem.
Fluid Leaks
Your Chevy contains numerous fluids that keep the engine cool, allow the transmission to work, ensure your steering wheel turns easily, and keep the engine clean, among other things. Each fluid has an identifiable color, making it easier to recognize the particular source of the problem. Fluid leaks usually occur due to worn seals or gaskets, but they can also occur due to damage from stones or hard objects thrown up from the surface.
If you notice a puddle of colored liquid underneath your Chevy, contact our service department right away so we can investigate. Depending on the leaking liquid, driving may not be advisable as it could lead to additional damage. A transmission leak, for example, could result in the transmission seizing. We’ll find and fix the leak, then replace the lost fluid.
Screeching Noises
Screeching noises when you brake usually means one or more brake pads have worn down and need replacement. The brake pads have a rough material covering that generates friction when clamped against the wheel rotors. A pad’s material covering slowly wears off, increasing the time taken for the brakes to engage.
The high-pitched screeching sounds are caused by a metal spike buried inside the friction material. The spike becomes visible once the material has worn down and will scratch against the rotor surface each time you apply the brakes. The spike can’t damage the rotor, but it’s advisable to visit us ASAP so we can replace the pads and your brakes will work more efficiently.
If you’d like to know more about our services or to book your next maintenance, contact us today at Navarre Chevrolet in Lake Charles, LA.
