Hi there. It really depends on what type of noise you are hearing that will determine what is causing the noise. If it’s a constant ticking noise, it’s possible your serpentine belt or the pulleys that drive that belt are worn out. It’s also possible that a bracket or other component is loose and causing the noise. It would probably be a good idea to have one of our professional mobile mechanics come to your location and complete a car is making a noise inspection. This will allow them to isolate the source of your noise and recommend the right repairs.
