Deciding Whether To Repair Or Replace Your Muffler With A Lincoln Park Auto Repair Shop

After having spent a significant amount of time on the road, your car's muffler could be exhibiting some serious signs of wear and tear.

If your engine makes an unusually loud rumbling, rattling, or hissing noise, it may be because of a worn-out muffler. However, the problem could also be due to a failing catalytic converter or resonator. If you smell exhaust while driving or observe that your vehicle's fuel economy is declining, the muffler may have a leak. In these instances, it will probably need to be replaced.

When cars overheat quickly and easily, this often means that the muffler is functioning poorly. When cars have unusually high temperatures after just a few minutes of operation, getting prompt repair services is essential.

If you'd like to visually inspect the car yourself, use a jack to elevate the vehicle and to check out its undercarriage. You need muffler service if there are holes in any portion of the exhaust, or evidence of excess water. If you spot a variety of leaks or if soot has clogged the muffler, then you will probably need to replace this component.

Auto repair technicians are able to inspect your exhaust system to find out whether there is damage to the muffler or any other related component. Minor holes in your muffler can usually be repaired with welding. When leaks are greater than pinholes, however, damaged parts including the muffler need to be replaced entirely. There may be the possibility of fixing small components rather than replacing your muffler altogether.

If you suspect a failing muffler, it should be tended to right away. The longer you wait, the more extensive the damage (and necessary repairs) will be. If the muffler is not able to direct exhaust away from the car, carbon monoxide may build up inside and can be deadly to the driver and passengers. This is especially dangerous during the winter months, when motorists usually have the windows rolled up and the heat on.
