This Halloween, Beware of These Scary Car Sounds!

Spooky sounds can be a lot of fun during Halloween, but not if they come from your car! If you hear these scary car sounds, schedule a service appointment at Family Toyota of Burleson, Texas. We’ll make sure your car will survive whatever horrors come its way!

Grinding sound while braking

If you hear grinding while braking, that means the brake pads have worn all the way down, and the calipers are now rubbing directly against the brake discs. This can lead to significant damage over time, so make sure to get new brake pads right away to avoid a big repair bill.

Knocking sound from the engine

If you hear a knock-knocking coming from your engine, it’s unfortunately not a setup for a funny joke. This sound can be caused by a variety of issues, ranging from a damaged timing belt to a sub-optimal fuel mixture. Visit our service center right away to get the issue diagnosed.

Clunking sound when going over bumps

If you hear clunking or rattling sounds when going over bumps in the road, the suspension needs an inspection. It could have damaged struts, ball joints, control arms, or shock absorbers. Your car’s suspension is very important, so don’t sit around waiting for disaster to happen!
