5 Spooky Things to Look Out For On Your Vehicles This Halloween

As Halloween approaches, it's not just ghosts and goblins you need to watch out for. Your car might have some spooky issues lurking under the hood! At St. George Transmission and Automotive, we want to make sure you’re not haunted by unexpected car troubles. Here are five spooky things to look for on your car this Halloween to keep your vehicle in top shape.

1. Screeching Sounds

Eerie, high-pitched screeches are not just for haunted houses—they can also come from your car! If you hear a screeching or squealing noise when you brake, it might be your brake pads crying out for help. Worn brake pads can lead to serious safety issues, so don't ignore this spooky sound. Bring your car to St. George Transmission and Automotive for a brake inspection to avoid any terrifying brake failures.

2. Mysterious Lights

Your dashboard can light up like a Halloween pumpkin when something goes wrong. If you see the check engine light or other warning indicators glowing, it's a sign that something is amiss. Ignoring these warning lights can lead to more frightening problems down the road. Visit us for a complimentary inspection to uncover the mystery behind those ominous lights.

3. Strange Smells

Have you noticed any peculiar odors coming from your car? A burning smell could indicate issues with your brakes or clutch, while a rotten egg smell might point to problems with your catalytic converter. These spooky smells are not to be taken lightly—they can signal serious issues that need immediate attention. Our experienced technicians can help diagnose and fix the source of those unsettling odors.

4. Haunting Vibrations

If your car feels like it’s possessed with vibrations or shaking while driving, there could be several ghoulish causes. It might be unbalanced tires, worn-out suspension components, or engine problems. These haunting vibrations can affect your car's performance and safety. Don’t let these issues scare you away—bring your vehicle to St. George Transmission and Automotive for a thorough inspection.

5. Leaking Fluids

Finding mysterious puddles under your car can be like discovering a hidden crypt. Various fluids can leak from your car, such as oil, coolant, or brake fluid, each potentially indicating a serious problem. Don’t let these leaks become a nightmare.
