Did You Hear That?

Hiss! Tap! Clunk – Clunk! There are a variety of sounds your car or truck makes as it travels down the road.  Some of these are normal.  The hum of the highway under your tires, for instance, or the sound of a seatbelt in the wind, slapping the door frame when the window is down, are both perfectly normal sounds.  Other sounds, especially when they happen again and again under the same circumstances, may be a sign of developing troubles.  When you press on the brake pedal to stop and you hear a grinding or scraping sound you probably need to schedule an Albuquerque brake check right away!

After a long day of commuting in rush hour traffic, you finally pull into your driveway and shut off the car.  You may take a moment to stop and have a deep breath or two in order to relax.  As you sit there, you may have noticed your vehicle begins making clinking or popping noises.  Most of these are normal cooling of metal as the engine parts try to get back to a normal temperature.  However, if you hear a hissing sound every time you stop for the day and turn off your engine, especially if it is followed by an odd odor, you may have a leak in a hose.  This is a good time to have an Albuquerque auto air conditioning repair done to check for cracks or holes in hoses.  Listening to the little sounds now may save you big bucks later.
