Your Car is Telling you Something is Wrong!

These car noises are strong and accurate indicators. Your car is trying to tell you that something is wrong. If left unattended, these annoying & frustrating sounds can snowball into broken parts, engine failure, and a much larger repair bill; endangering all the passengers and children in your car.

Get a Professional Diagnosis for Your Car.

Cars are extremely logical, analogue, mechanical, however you want to frame it, there’s a reason for everything. Which is why when damages are not isolated, they can creep to other parts and components of the car like cancer. When a professional handles your car, there should be a step-by-step diagnosis done with the proper tools and procedures. This level of detailed inspection does not only treat symptoms, but can spot root causes before they spiral out of control.

Famous last words:

“But I JUST serviced this!”

“It comes and goes, probably nothing to worry about”

“As long as it starts, its ok”

Knocking Noise
  • Commonly found in supposedly indestructible Toyota Alphard & Vellfires. The knocking noises can be heard from the front-end of the car.
  • The symptoms are caused by wear & tear of the balance shaft. Small problems like this can snowball to cause other components to experience unnecessary & harmful vibrations.
  • If left neglected, it can simultaneously cause damage to multiple parts.
Vibrations when Braking
  • Commonly found in Audi cars. Owners might experience uncomfortable and excess vibrations during deceleration.
  • This is a sign that the upper arms, lower arms, and caster arms are experiencing large amount of stress.
  • This can de-stabilize the car especially at high speeds, or mid-corner. Needless to say, the risk of upsetting a car in these scenarios can lead to skidding or unpredictable trajectory.
  • If left untreated, the suspensions and bushing will suffer, and could even lead to collapse.
Oil patches on parking spot
  • Commonly found in older cars, but especially noticeable in BMW Cars 5 years-old or more. There are lots of different fluids in a car- engine oil, transmission oil, coolant, wiper fluid, etc.
  • There are a wide variety of risks when oil is found on the ground where the car is parked, which include engine failure, transmission failure, steering failure etc. All of which, pose high risk for all passengers and children in the vehicle. The risks of negligence can lead to damaged suspensions, oil leaks, steering failure etc. All of which are road hazards.
  • Your vehicle is quite literally bleeding, so it is best to get it inspected at the nearest reliable service centre in order to properly diagnose and find the exact cause.
Grinding noises
  • Commonly found in the Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W212). Grinding noises are unpleasant and uneasy, letting you know that there is a large amount of mechanical friction in the car.
  • One of the possibilities is that the VVT (Variable Vibration Timing unit) is not performing as it should.
Underpowered Engine/ Misfire
  • A misfire is what happens when one or more of the cylinders inside an engine fails to fire as intended. The cause is an interruption of the air-to-fuel ratio inside the combustion chamber of the affected cylinders.
  • This severely impacts drive quality and you will feel that in general, all aspects of the engine are compromised. Lots of vibrations, unnatural noise, inconsistent acceleration and so forth.
  • When this happens, it could be caused by a large variety of issues, from turbos, to spark plugs, and fuel injection. In order to pinpoint the issue, and resolve it, a trip to the Service Centre is necessary. The end result of negligence here can be catastrophic.
Jerky Ride
  • If you notice that your car frequently jerks during gear shifts, this is an indicator that gearbox is not running as intended, and could be in danger of major repairs.
  • It runs the risk of an unstable ride, compromised ride quality, and possible gearbox failure.
  • Porsche Owners especially should be extra cautious about their PDK or Tiptronic gearboxes.
