Don’t Let Spooky Car Sounds Haunt You or Your Wallet This Halloween
Don’t Let Spooky Car Sounds Haunt You or Your Wallet This HalloweenPHOENIX – Halloween is just around the corner and cooler weather, hopefully, is on the way. Now is the perfect time to take care of your vehicle. Did you know that October is National Car Care Month and the mysterious sounds coming from your car could signal serious problems ahead?
Often the first sign of car trouble can be heard, not seen. As a responsible car owner, it’s important to keep your ears open for any unnerving sounds and arm yourself with some basic knowledge to keep your car running safely for years.
Here are some of the most common auditory offenders:
Spooky noise #1 – Hissing.
If your engine sounds like air being released from a balloon, consider bringing it to a reputable repair shop for a little investigation. A hissing noise coming from under the hood could indicate a leak in your cooling system, vacuum line, air conditioning line or other hose. Any of these situations could cause performance issues like a decrease in fuel efficiency, an overheated engine or your air conditioning system underperforming or worse yet – not working at all.
#2 – Flapping.
Do you hear a sound reminiscent of a bat hiding in your trunk? If the flapping isn’t a flat tire, it could indicate a tearing or breaking fan belt. This tends to be a simple and affordable fix if taken care of quickly. But, if you don’t act swiftly, a broken fan belt could lead to more serious problems under the hood and more expensive repairs sooner rather than later.
#3 – Clicking or grinding.
This isn’t the latest dance craze, but it might be time to have your axles and brakes checked. The axles often develop cracks in the rubber boots that hold the grease inside to keep them lubricated. If the noise is a harsh grinding sound, bring your car to a mechanic as soon as possible. Once brake pads have completely worn through, other elements of the braking system could be damaged if you don’t act fast.
#4 – Tapping or hammering.
No, there aren’t goblins under your hood. If you’re hearing a light “tap-taptap” sound, you could have a low oil level. Many vehicles “burn” oil due to engine design and not checking the oil between services. Or it could be a problem with a valve lifter that isn’t pumping properly or an issue with valve clearance. On the other hand, if you’re hearing a deep hammering “thud-thud-thud” sound, like maybe an ogre dancing on your radiator, the issue could end up being pricey to repair. This noise is typically a symptom of connecting rod-bearing problems, which could require removing the entire powertrain to fix. Regardless, enlisting help from the experts is necessary.
#5 – Rear rattling.
Your car’s exhaust system consists of five pieces: the exhaust manifold, catalytic converter, resonators, muffler and tailpipe. This system extends from the engine area to the back of your car. If certain parts are not securely connected from front to back, you may hear some metal-to-metal rattling when you drive.
While October is typically the scariest month of the year, don’t let sounds from your car terrorize you. Seasonal vehicle check-ups from a professional car care shop are necessary to maintain safety and maximize the efficiency of your vehicle. Unlike the average car owner, pros know what they are looking for when it comes to checking for wear and tear on your automobile.

Local Mechanics Offer Earth Day Tips For More Eco-Friendly Vehicles
PHOENIX – In recognition of Earth Day (April 22), your Neighborhood Auto Repair Professionals (NARPRO) are sharing small, yet significant ways to protect the environment and your wallet.
Drive Green
- Avoid prolonged idling. It can build up fuel residue, eventually damaging engine parts and increasing fuel consumption.
- Avoid sudden starts and stops to maximize your mileage and decrease wear and tear on your car.
- Lighten the load. Get the junk out of the trunk to save gas.
Filling Up
- Check your gas cap for damage. According to the Car Care Council, about 17 percent of vehicles on the road have loose, damaged, or missing caps, causing 147 million gallons to vaporize every year.
- Topping off your tank can also send harmful vapors into the environment.
Routine Maintenance
- Having clean air filters will help your car run more efficiently and burn less gas.
- Keep tires properly inflated and aligned. According to the Car Care Council, around two billion gallons of gas each year could be saved if tires were properly inflated. Improperly inflated tires make the engine work harder and increase fuel costs.
- If you do your own repairs, be sure to dispose of engine fluids and batteries properly. Contact your city for information on hazardous material drop-off and recycling.

Roadside Safety 101: Tips to Stay Safe When Your Car Breaks Down – A Must-Watch Guide! 🚗
In this insightful video, Glen is featured on Arizona’s Family News sharing valuable tips on staying safe during a roadside car breakdown. Whether you’re a seasoned driver or a novice on the road, these practical suggestions can make a significant difference in ensuring your safety during unexpected vehicle issues. From essential equipment to communication strategies, Glen covers it all.
‘Tis The Season for Cheaper Gas
PHOENIX – Drivers are getting a present at the pumps: the lowest gas prices of the year. With falling prices come rising expectations for holiday travel. Between December 23 and January 1, AAA estimates more than 115 million Americans will travel. In Arizona, more than 2.2 million people will travel, most by car. Whether you plan to drive across the Valley or head to the high country, your Neighborhood Auto Repair Professionals (NARPRO) offer ways to ensure a safe ride.
Check your vehicle’s lights!
- Be sure other drivers can see your headlights, taillights, brake lights and turn signals.
Check wipers
- They’ve likely had a strong workout already this season and you want to make sure you can clearly see heavier traffic on longer trips. And, don’t forget the washer solvent.
Check battery
- The average lifespan of a car battery in Arizona is less than three years. Just because it survived the summer doesn’t mean it’ll last through your holiday road trips. A NARPRO mechanic can perform a professional examination.
Check tires
- As the temps drop, your tire pressure light is more likely to come on. For every 10-degree drop in temperature, tire pressure drops about 1 psi.
- Research by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) has found that tires age faster in warmer climates. Cracks, bulging, and worn tread can lead to big problems.
- NARPRO can help determine how old your tires are and how to be sure you’re buying the ‘freshest’ tires.
Check filters
- Besides affecting airflow and quality in your car, dirty filters can also hurt fuel efficiency and overall performance.
If you’re heading to the high country:
Test your cold-weather gear
- Are your chains in good shape? How’s the air in your spare? Got fresh batteries in the flashlight?
- If you have four-wheel drive that wasn’t used during the summer, make sure the system engages and disengages easily and that all the drivers in your house know how and when to activate the system.
Get the right antifreeze mix
- To prevent freezing, aim for a 50-50 mix of antifreeze (coolant) and water in your radiator.
- An inexpensive antifreeze tester at an auto parts store will help you determine if the mixture is correct and your Neighborhood Auto Repair Professionals (NARPRO) can test your coolant level of protection, pH balance, and electrolysis. They can also properly dispose of antifreeze, which cannot be poured down a drain.
Eyes on the tank
- Be sure to keep the gas tank as full as possible to prevent the gas lines from freezing.
Be smart about stopping
- If you have car trouble, avoid stopping in or near travel lanes.
- Aim for an area where the vehicle can be safely removed.
- If your car can’t be moved, raise the front hood and turn on hazard lights.
An emergency kit for your trunk should include:
- Blanket, boots, gloves, and extra clothing
- Mobile phone, charging cable, and back-up power pack.
- Extra water and food, including hard candies
- Ice scraper and small shovel
- Flashlight with fresh batteries
- Windshield wipers and washer fluid
- Flares and/or reflectors
- Jumper cables
- Tire chains
- Tire gauge, spare tire and tire-changing equipment
- First aid kit
- A bag of abrasive material such as sand, salt, or non-clumping kitty litter, which can provide additional traction if tires get stuck in snow.

How to Prepare Your Car For Fall
PHOENIX – It may not feel like it, but we’re close to the first day of fall. The autumnal equinox-when the sun is directly over the equator – will arrive on September 23. While Arizonans look forward to cooler temperatures, we should also be aware of the seasonal impact to our vehicles.
During the month of August, we started losing daylight. Losses get bigger in September and October when we lose roughly two to three minutes of daylight every day throughout both months. To ensure nighttime visibility on the road, your Neighborhood Auto Repair Professionals (NARPRO) suggest the following:
Check your vehicle’s lights!
- Enlist a partner to check your brake lights, turn signals and brights.
- Lights that are dim or not properly working should be replaced.
- Keep headlights, tail lights and signal lights clean to maximize visibility.
- Make sure headlights are properly installed and aligned. Misaimed lights can reduce your ability to see and blind other drivers.
Check wiper blades!
- Blades deteriorate faster in sunny, dry climates.
- Replacing is quick and easy and critical if they’re not in good shape.

Buyers Beware
Cars damaged in recent hurricanes could be coming to a used car lot near you
With a shortage of new and used cars
in the market, buyers may get duped into purchasing a car that has been damaged in a hurricane. Supply and demand issues that have plagued the car market for several years create the perfect storm for unscrupulous sellers to prey on vulnerable buyers.
Flooding caused by Hurricane Ian is expected to damage thousands of vehicles across the East Coast. Many of these vehicles could be moved far away from flooding and sold to unsuspecting consumers.
According to Carfax, about half of cars damaged in floods are resold. While it’s not illegal to sell a car that has water damage, the title should be marked “flood damage” or “salvage” (which signifies a total loss). Unfortunately, not everyone follows the rules. And according to Edmunds.com, a vehicle considered a total loss in one state might not require a salvage title in another state.
Even if the title doesn’t identify the vehicle as having flood damage, consumers should do their own fact-finding when looking at used cars. Engine computers, sensors, electrical connectors, and wiring are vulnerable to corrosion, expensive to fix and could endanger lives if water damaged. Plus, this kind of damage may not surface for years.
Here are a few tips to spot flood-damaged vehicles:
- Do the sniff test. If the car smells musty or moldy, watch out. Also, pay attention to cars that have strong air fresheners or detergent scents. These could be used to mask flood-related mildew.
- Check the fabric. Look for upholstery or carpeting that’s damp, stained, or loose.
- Look for dirt. Flood-damaged cars often have mud or silt in hidden places like the glove compartment and under seats.
- Check for rust. Examine doors, under the dashboard, on pedals, and inside hood and trunk latches.
- Look for water and condensation. Fog or moisture beads in the instrument panel and interior and exterior lights are red flags, along with rust or flaking metal under the car.
- Get low. Check the undercarriage for corrosion, especially on brake lines and around the fuel tank.
- Start the car. Make sure all lights, the air conditioner, heater, wipers, turn signals, stereo, and navigation systems work. Test them more than once.
As always when car shopping, consumers should do a VIN check with the National Insurance Crime Bureau. The free service can identify whether a car has been reported stolen or labeled as salvage by insurance companies.
Flood damage can be hard to detect, but a trained and experienced auto repair technician can certainly help. To really protect yourself when buying a used car, it’s a good practice to have a trusted mechanic check out the vehicle before any money changes hands. While there may be a nominal fee to have a car checked over by a certified mechanic – it is a smart investment in the long run.

Beware of Hurricane Ian Aftermath When Buying Used Cars
If the deal seems too good to be true, it probably is! Did you know it only takes a foot of water to cause flooding issues in your vehicle? Vehicles that were exposed to Hurricane Ian are making their way to Arizona, and flooding issues throughout the engine and fuse box can cost you lots of money in the end! When you are purchasing a used car, it is important to do your research! Sources like Carfax are great for checking the history of a vehicle you are looking at purchasing. Consider having a thorough pre-purchase inspection done by one of our experienced technicians when you are considering buying a used car!
Learn How to Keep Your Vehicle Longer

How to Keep Your Car In Tip-Top Shape During Monsoon Season
Glen Hayward was featured on Channel 3 News to discuss how to prepare your vehicle for monsoon season. Here in the desert, our car batteries and tires wear down quickly because they are getting so hot! Ensuring your vehicle’s tire tread is thick enough is important for driving safely during monsoon season! Hydroplaning is a great possibility while driving on wet roads, your tire tread and driving slowly can help prevent this.
Glen Hayward Discusses Monsoon Car Care Tips on Channel 3 News
It is important to have your cabin air filter replaced fairly regularly, especially during monsoon season! When it starts to get dirty and plugged, it blocks the airflow to your car. This causes contaminated air to go to your engine which can cause damage. Good Works Auto Repair recommends doing this annually or every 15,000 miles. You also want to ensure your windshield wipers are operating properly. Performing regular vehicle maintenance is key in keeping your car running as long as possible!
To service your vehicle for preventative maintenance, make an appointment with us today!
Keep the Body of Your Car Clean and Protected During Monsoon Season
During monsoon season, some of us forego the car wash! But keeping the body of your car clean is important! Adding a nice wax to your vehicle helps keep the dust from attaching to your paint. The protective coating leaves your vehicle less resistant to having things stick to it. When driving with your air conditioner during a monsoon, turn the defrost mode on if you notice your windows getting a little foggy!

Arizona Gas Prices Nearing $4 A Gallon
How To Maximize Mileage For Holiday Travel
(PHOENIX)– Drivers in Arizona are paying, on average, $1.52a gallon more for regular unleaded than they did one year ago. That’s 25 cents shy of the highest reported average record of $4.09 in 2008.
According to AAA, the December 14 statewide average price per gallon is $3.73 compared to $2.21 a year ago. In Phoenix, the average is $3.78.
With consumers are paying more for gas, rental cars, and food, your Neighborhood Auto Repair Professionals (NARPRO) offer these steps to maximize mileage:
1. Slow down: According to the U.S. Department of Energy,each 5 miles per hour you drive over 50 mph is like paying an extra 20 cents per gallon.
2. Avoid sudden starts and stops: If you see a red light, ease up and coast rather than wait to brake. When the light turns green, gently accelerate. The U.S. Department of Energy estimates aggressive driving (speeding, rapid acceleration and braking) can lower your gas mileage by roughly 15 to 30 percent at highway speeds and 10 to 40 percent in stop-and-go traffic.
3. Lighten the load: Hauling cargo on your roof increases wind resistance and lowers fuel economy. You may also want to get the junk out of your trunk.
4. Avoid excessive idling: Turn off your engine when you’re parked. Idling can use a quarter to a half-gallon of fuel per hour, depending on your engine size and air conditioner use.
5. Use cruise control: this helps you maintain a steady speed on highways.
6. Check your tires: Properly inflated tires can improve fuel economy up to 3 percent, plus they’re safer and last longer. Follow the levels recommended by the automaker.
7. Keep up to date on maintenance. A dirty air filter restricts the flow of air in the engine, which lowers performance.
