FAQs About Automobile Squeaks, Squeals and Rattles

Why do my brakes squeak?

The most common reason brakes squeak is that they are worn out. The squeak can be the sound of the metal wear indicator on the brake pad coming into contact with the metal rotor. Your brakes are one of the most important safety systems on your vehicle, so come by Horizon Automotive Service Center and have them inspected.

If you hear squeaking only when you press the brake pedal the first two or three times you drive in the morning, it may be caused by overnight moisture buildup and may not indicate a problem. If the noise persists, have your brakes inspected to determine the cause.

Why does my car make a noise when I turn the steering wheel?

If your car makes strange sounds or clicking noises when you turn the steering wheel, one possible cause is low power steering fluid. As the fluid level drops, air can enter the power steering system and cause unwanted noises.

Come to Horizon Automotive Service Center to have the power steering system inspected and the fluid level checked. If the noise returns quickly after the fluid is topped off, your vehicle may have a power steering fluid leak. Our professionals in Grand Junction can diagnose the source of the problem and recommend the appropriate repair.

Why does my car squeal when I start it in the morning?

A squealing noise when starting your vehicle can be caused by a worn or loose belt. Depending on the vehicle and the source of the noise, the issue may involve an accessory drive belt or another belt-driven component. Because some belt failures can lead to serious mechanical problems, unusual or persistent noises should be inspected promptly. Come to Horizon Automotive Service Center and our technicians can determine the source of the noise and recommend the proper repair.

Leaking Fluid FAQs

Why is water leaking on my foot on the driver's side?

The most common cause is a blocked air conditioning drain hose. This is a simple repair at Horizon Automotive Service Center. There are other possible causes of water dripping on your foot on the driver's side of the car, including a broken door seal or leaking heat exchanger.

What should I do if my car creates a small oil leak on my driveway?

If the spill is still wet, cover the stain with clay cat litter, sand, cornmeal, cornstarch, or baking soda. This will help absorb the oil before it soaks into the cement. Once the spill has dried, sweep up the absorbent material. Then, wash away the remaining stain with water and soap.

A small oil leak on your driveway is an indication that something is wrong with your car. Bring your car to Horizon Automotive Service Center to get the problem diagnosed. Do not ignore an oil leak, as it can seriously affect your car's engine.

Why is my car leaking a sweet-smelling fluid?

If there is a sweet-smelling fluid leaking from your car, the most likely culprit is leaking coolant or antifreeze. A coolant leak can become a serious problem. If your vehicle gets too low on coolant or antifreeze, it will overheat and may cause engine damage.

Driving through Grand Junction, on a long road trip, our car developed a brake problem. Brian Burford, the owner of the shop, met us personally, diagnosed the problem immediately, ordered the part and had it delivered to the shop, and installed it right away. He had us back on the road in the shortest possible time, and charged a very reasonable fee. I can't recommend this shop highly enough. Thanks Brian for your outstanding customer service!

We stopped by this fantastic repair shop unexpectedly during our cross-country trip due to a car issue. The team there went above and beyond to diagnose the problem, which turned out to be a manufacturer's defect. We were truly impressed by their honesty, kindness, and professionalism.
