Not Sure What’s Wrong? Here Are Some Possible Answers

Sounds

It sounds terrifying because it’s supposed to. Many brake pads come with brake pad indicators, small devices that rub against your rotor when your brake pads start to wear down too much.

It could be a loose or worn down serpentine belt, which transports power to various auto components – the alternator, A/C, power steering pump, and water pump.

If you hear this while moving at low speed only for it to go away once you hit higher speed, it could be a loose lug nut inside your hub cap. 

This indicates your battery is having trouble powering your engine. Maybe it’s your battery’s time to die, maybe it’s running out of juice, maybe it just needs a jump.

Usually emitting from under the driver’s seat, this sound indicates a crack or leak in the exhaust system’s manifold (meaning all of the noise your engine makes is entering the vehicle).

This indicates a problem with your power-steering system.

This is typically caused by a ventilation flap having become misaligned, worn down, or loose – hence, it starts to flap.

Smells

Usually the result of antifreeze leaking from your cooling system.

It may be that the catalytic converter has gone bad.

This is often the result of overheating components or short circuits in the electrical system.

This is most likely a problem with a belt – it could have either slipped or is getting chewed up by a pulley.

This is likely mold in your A/C system, which is more common in older vehicles due to the A/C evaporator collecting moisture over time.

Smelling gas after your engine warms up could mean you have a loose gas cap or there’s a leak or clog in the evaporative emissions control system (this system contains and recycles fuel vapors).

Finding The Right Idaho Falls Auto Repair Shop Can Be Tricky

Here’s What You Should Look For In An Auto Mechanic

1. Professional Customer Service

Good mechanics know how to listen, even if it means reading between the lines when someone is explaining the problem to them. Many people don’t know the ins and outs of their vehicles, so good mechanics can interpret the reported symptoms and get a good idea of what the diagnosis is or know where to start to diagnose the problem.

But, it’s not all just listening. It’s making sure we give you the honest solution to fix the problem. Even if we can’t help. C&S Auto Repair will make sure you have the right answer each and every time. 

2. Good Reputation

Testimonials

  • I came in back in August while on a solo road trip with some bad rotors. The team here understood the pickle I was in and squeezed me in first thing in the morning. I had figured I'd have to spend the day Lyfting around Idaho Falls but they had me in and out in no time so I could continue my journey. I couldn't believe how quickly they got me back on the road and how friendly and professional the staff here was. I hope to never have car issues in Idaho again, but if I do I can guarantee you that I will be going to C&S. Thank you guys again and I'm sorry it took me so long to get this review in. Keep up the killer work and customer service. If you're debating between a few different mechanics in the area, definitely go with C&S. You will not be disappointed!!

  • I am not sure if they remember me or my situation but, I still tear up to this day on how amazing this company is and what they did for me. They are honest, kind, and went above and beyond to help me. I back in 2007-2008 as a very, very poor single mom, bought a car that ended up being a lemon. I had to buy a new transmission. Wanting to go the cheeper route, I ordered a refurbished transmission online. Shipping was about $600+, Plus the transmission. I had the transmission delivered to C&S auto for them to install. Long story short the transmission delivered didn’t work. So we needed to send it back. It was not easy dealing with the online company I ordered the transmission from. I had to pay for another shipment to ship a new transmission again they sent us another and same thing it didn’t work. C & S auto we’re so great and through all my tears did whatever the could for me. Finally after them helping me fight this company we got another transmission sent and it worked this time. They were my angels. They allowed me to make payments and were just so kind. I will never forget what they did for me. I can now say I am in a much different financial situation and have given back to my community as much as possible. I will be forever grateful for their kindness and helping me years ago. Thank you C & S auto!

  • These guys are the best, I have had these guys work on my 1998 mercedes sl500 a few times and they have done a great job. I travel all over the U.S. and if my baby needs repair and if there is anyway I can hold off until I get back home then I wait. I have never felt anything other than trust with C and S auto and if I ever hear anyone talk about needing repairs on their car then I tell them to see these guys. Jerry M

  • I've been working with these guys since 2011 and they've always treated me right. Their prices are fair, but more importantly they know what they're doing. One of the most frustrating things about getting your car repaired is dealing with shops that diagnose the problem incorrectly. Some shops just start replacing things until they find the problem!C&S has always been able to pinpoint the problem quickly and recommend the correct fix. These guys are professionals and you'll get a staff that's as knowledgeable as any dealership service department minus the dealership price. I am extremely pleased with the way they keep me on the road. I have recommended C&S to a number of friends, and my friends have had a similar experience.

  • We bought a newer vehicle that only came with one fob. I got a new fob for Christmas but couldn't find a locksmith that could program it. I was referred to C & S by an audio shop. I called C & S and they said bring it over, we can program it. I brought them the vehicle and it went in immediately. Within 15 minutes, I was on my way. How much do I owe you? I asked. Nothing. Nothing. Are you kidding me? Who does that? I'd have had to take it to the dealer and pay a hundred bucks! THAT is customer service. Will I go there again? Are you kidding me? Who wouldn't? You have to try them!

I mailed it on Monday 08/17/15 and received it on 08/20/15. Installed it and works as good as new. Thank you, C&S Happy in Salida, CA

  • I started going to C&S as a single mother hoping to find a repair shop/mechanic that would be honest and forthcoming with diagnostic and repair needs. I have had horrible experiences with Auto Shops where the Tech speaks down to you as if you are too dumb to understand anything about auto systems. This has NEVER happened at C&S. They speak to me as an equal, they are upfront and honest and have saved me $100's of dollars in repairs and services. They have diagnosed and repaired my 2009 GMC Acadia several times. most recently, they replaced the ignition coil and then DIDN'T EVEN CHARGE ME A PENNY. If you are a single woman and don't want to be taken advantage of or charged for things you aren't sure about or even just need your routine maintenance done, GO TO C&S!

  • Perfect service! After a friend from out of town broke down and was stranded, Chris came in on a Saturday and got him fixed and back on the road. The shop is honest and competent, I won't go anywhere else.
