For those with little automotive experience, the area under the hood can be pretty mysterious. You know that when you press the gas pedal, the engine accelerates, and when you press the brake, the car slows down. You may know enough to change your air filter and check your oil level, but strange sounds coming from under the hood can be frightening and frustrating. If you’re hearing a squealing and/or rattling from under the hood, you’ll need to have it professionally inspected and repaired.

How this system works:

The engine of your car actually provides the power for most of your accessory systems, such as the power steering, the air conditioner and more. A turning engine provides the means to operate a wide range of additional parts. This is done by using belts and pulleys. In modern vehicles, you generally only have one or possibly two belts. These are routed around multiple different pulleys located on the side of the engine (and attached to various components).

As the engine spins, it turns the main pulley, which is attached to the camshaft. This main pulley drives the serpentine belt. The serpentine belt turns other pulleys, such as your alternator pulley, the power steering pump pulley and others. This provides the power for those systems to operate.

Of course, this does require that your belts are in good condition, and that your pulleys are working normally. Over time and through normal wear and tear, belts will stretch, crack and break. Pulleys will also experience problems (generally due to bearing failure over time).

Common reasons for this to happen:

  • Stretched Belt: Belts are made of rubber and while they’re designed for high-performance and high-heat situations, they do wear. First, they’ll begin to stretch. If you’re hearing a squealing sound from under the hood, chances are very good that it’s a belt slipping on the pulley.

  • Failing Pulley Bearings: When the bearings in a pulley begin to fail, it can produce both rattling and squealing sounds. This can easily be confused for other problems, including a stretched belt, loose exhaust components and more.

  • Loose Exhaust: Your exhaust system runs from the exhaust manifold on the engine, underneath the engine, and then under the car to the muffler. If your exhaust is damaged or a support has come loose, it’s possible that it could make a rattling sound during operation (particularly noticeable while idling and when accelerating).

  • Worn Brake Pads: If you’re hearing a squealing sound from the front of the car, there’s also the possibility that the brakes are worn out. Disc brake pads are equipped with a “squealer”, which is nothing more than a small piece of metal designed to contact the rotor when the pads are close to the end of their life. This creates a warning squeal, telling drivers it’s time to replace their pads.

What to expect:

A top-rated mobile mechanic will come to your home or office to inspect the engine, belts, pulleys and other components, and to listen to the squealing or rattling from the engine. The mechanic will then provide a detailed inspection report that includes the scope and cost of the necessary repairs.

How it's done:

The mechanic will need to inspect the vehicle, including listening to the squealing or rattling noise from the engine. Next, the mechanic will visually inspect the belts and pulleys to ensure that both are in good repair. If the noise does not occur when the engine is idling, it may be necessary for the mechanic to test drive the car to duplicate the symptoms and gain a better understanding of the problem.

How important is this service?

If the squealing or rattling sound from the engine is caused by either a belt or pulley, time is of the essence in addressing the issue. A loose belt can quickly progress from squealing to breaking, potentially leaving you stranded on the side of the road. If the problem stems from a worn pulley, it’s possible that it will eventually seize, which means that whatever accessory it operates will no longer work, and that there’s a chance the belt will break.

The best way to prevent problems like this from becoming serious issues is to have your belts and pulleys professionally inspected during routine maintenance services. If you’re experiencing a squealing or rattling sound from the engine, one of our professional mechanics can diagnose and repair the problem.

GMC Yukon V8-5.3L - Electric Problems - Houston, Texas
Inspection and Diagnostic Was 100% wrong. On all parts. Problem: All Rear lights flickering Inspection: Diagnostic: Turn signal, tail lights bad connections Repair Signal and connections recommendations: Remove and Replace Multi functional turn signal switch. also has bad connection between turn signal and tail lights. Replace Rear lamp harness connectors. L&R side. All diagnostic and recommendations Was accurately completed. That cost my son, greatly in unnecessary repair cost. That didn't fix the problem or anything else. and didn't need to be replaced or fixed, still had power to the replaced parts and in good working order. Following the recommended repairs ended up adding additional problems, truck remote and driverside door. Has lost all control functions and alarm has to be set manually and individually. False warning lights and codes popping up. Preventing from addressing real problem, until to late and check engine pressure light comes on and knocking noise from engine appears, after addressing and clearing of warning lights and codes. That had already been fixed or was a wrong random code that needed no action to be taken. I asked a repair forum and explained in detail. And Jacob recommended I start from troubleshooting from the simplest solution and make my way up if necessary. First obviously, check the brake lamp bulbs are correct and there was power to the build and sockets. Check. Next make sure the ground connection by the rear hitch wasn't broken or damaged while the brake light bulbs was being removed and replaced. And we have a winner. The ground connection. Fixed all rear lights. They're working normal again. A $0 fix cost my son over $800 in parts and labor fees. And now a motor. New Battery, New O2 sensors up/ down replaced, ignition coils and wires replaced, spark plugs, oil change, oil gasket replacement, filters. Valve Cover Gasket replaced. No leaks anywhere. Replaced the recommended, set off false codes. After getting it reset. Check oil pressure light comes on and knocking noises occur. Next day motor is needed. All could had been prevented if the obvious connection test was performed. I would recommend yourmechanic.com. I have a appt scheduled. Pay attention to the mechanic. Cost my self paying college son a vehicle.

We really wanted to ensure the issue we were having would be fixed by the repair and not continue to go on a goose chase with our local mechanic. He gave us some good advice and did not automatically dive into the costly repair. We do indeed need the more expensive repair, but I am very glad to know that he did not not eagerly jump at the chance just to make money. We will be booking with Xavier for this repair.
