Does Your Exhaust System Require Service?

Without a trained eye, it can be difficult to tell when something is wrong with the exhaust. With that said, it doesn’t take an experienced professional to understand when the system needs service. There are a handful of common warning signs you can look out for to help you prevent a problem from worsening. If you aren’t sure what to pay attention to, Hi-Tech Auto Specialists is here to help, as we walk you through two common exhaust problems that’ll let you know it’s time for service.

Loud Engine Noise

Do you feel like the engine in your vehicle has gotten significantly louder? Are you having a hard time hearing anything because of how loud the engine is? If so, you may have an issue with the exhaust system, and specifically the muffler. As the name implies, the muffler helps dampen the sound created by the engine. Any issues will directly lead to this problem, and it could lead to a noise violation if not handled.

Colored Exhaust Smoke

Have you ever examined the smoke that comes from your car’s tailpipe? If so, you’ve likely noticed that the fumes are, for the most part, clear. If you see any type of smoke, that’s indicates something is wrong. Look out for black, blue, and white smoke. Black smoke occurs when the engine is running rich, and although it won’t cause any major problems, it isn’t pleasant to look at. Now, if you see blue or white smoke, we urge you to visit us for service immediately. The former indicates an oil leak, and additional oil is being burned while the latter means coolant is leaking and burning, both of which are not good at all.
