Description
Loud screeching noise when you start a car Inspection
There are a lot of common reasons for this to take place.
There are drive belt(s) and auxiliary belt(s) that are worn.
An old serpentine belt (or drive belt) and auxiliary belt(s) are the most common cause of screeching sounds. The oils in your belts will encourage all sorts of screeching and slap sounds when they start to wear out.
Tensioners and pulleys are worn.
Over time, the pulleys and belt tensioners that keep your belt in place can wear out. The belt is held in position with the help of the tensioner. Your pulley has rubber inside it that helps absorb the engine noise. Your belt could have wear issues if the rubber part wears out.
Wrong belt size, incorrect alignment or wrong Torque.
If the torque and alignment on the belt tensioner and pulley are incorrect, your belt may not have the proper pressure on it. You or a mechanic may have installed the wrong size belt. Different belts are required for different types of engines. A belt that is too large will start making sounds.
What will happen:
An expert mobile mechanic will come to your home or office to determine the source of the screeching noise and give you a detailed inspection report that includes the scope and cost of the necessary repairs.
A professional mechanic will inspect the belts to see if they are damaged. To make sure the pulleys and tensioners are up to spec, your Fixxr may look at them from there. A good fit and minimal wear are all it takes to make a difference with a screeching belt.
What is it about this service that matters?
