FAQs About Automobile Squeaks, Squeals and Rattles
Why is my car making a squealing noise?
It may be a slipping fan belt. Listen for a few warning signs such as a squeaking or chirping noise. Those noises are usually caused by misalignment of the belt and the pulley. If you come by Hampton Automotive Service in Towson our professional auto repair technicians can realign it to stop the noise and fix it before your fan belt completely breaks.
Why does my car make a noise when I turn the steering wheel?
If your car makes strange sounds or clicks when you turn the steering wheel the most common cause is a low steering fluid. Over time the steering fluid decreases and air enters the steering mechanism causing unwanted noises. Come to Hampton Automotive Service to top off your fluid reservoir with power steering fluid. The noises should start to go away immediately. If the sound returns quickly your car could be leaking steering fluid. Our professionals in Towson can help you diagnose and repair leaks quickly and affordably.
Why does my car squeal when I start it in the morning?
A worn out cambelt (also known as a timing belt) will create a loud noise when you start your car's engine. The noise could range from squealing to hissing or rumbling. This is the sound of a cambelt that is about to break. If a cambelt breaks it can ruin your car's engine. Come to Hampton Automotive Service and get it replaced right away.
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 Hampton Automotive Service. 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 Hampton Automotive Service 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.

I have been coming to Hampton Automotive Services for at least 7 years now, and I will never look back. I call them and always am able to get my car in the shop within a day. The biggest difference between Gary and the other mechanics is the honesty factor. Going to a mechanic can be daunting, and full of "issues" your car might have. Gary is straightforward and honest, always having your best interest in mind. I have not experienced this with any of the mechanics I have used prior. The piece of mind that I have knowing my car is in the hands of VERY Experienced technicians and that I will be given a trustworthy answer or honest recommendations, is the reason I go to Hampton Automotive. They are fast, have extremely high level of service, and they always have your best interest in mind.

Been having my car serviced by Gary for a few years now. Honest and reliable, never going to another mechanic.

I started working with Gary and his team back in 2012. I bought a car that was questionable and made funny noises here and there as I would drive it. I was unsure of the car and took it to different mechanics in the area to ask about safety issues with it. Some mechanics said it had extensive repairs needed, then I took it to Gary. He test drove the car and said it was fine. I then moved from the Towson area in 2016, so I stopped going to Hampton Automotive. Their good service, honesty and integrity kept me going to them for 5 years. If I move back to the Baltimore/Towson area, I would gladly work with Gary and his team again. Great establishment.
