You know your car best. So when it starts clicking, clunking, or chirping like a caffeinated bird—you notice. Here’s how to tell what’s what.

Body:

1. Squeaky Brakes – Might just be moisture. But if it’s constant or loud? Time to get them checked.
2. Clicking When Turning – Could be CV joints. Sounds scary, but fixable.
3. Grinding Gears – If your car sounds like a blender full of screws…stop. Transmission could be crying.
4. Engine Knock – Definitely not normal. Fuel or timing issues might be the culprit.

Humor Break:
🎶 If your car’s making more music than your playlist, it’s time for a check-up. Not all noises are danceable.
