There are some common problems that can occur to your muffler and exhaust system and if left unrepaired, this can cause a lot of damage to your vehicle over time. If you are giving your vehicle a once over and notice any of the following issues, you will want to give us here at Hopkins Ford of Elgin a call to schedule an appointment:

  • Rust all over your muffler or on certain spots can indicate that the material it is made out of is breaking down because of normal wear and tear. These rusty spots can develop holes or crack if left untreated.
  • Your vehicle in general may sound louder than normal especially when the window is open and you are listening closely.
  • Low fuel efficiency is definitely a sign of a larger problem and sometimes your muffler is the culprit.

Stop into our service center today if you feel there is a problem with your vehicle.
