If you want to book a ticking or rattling noise repair in Tewkesbury, you can compare quotes from our network of thousands of garages and mechanics, find the best price and instantly book online.
Tewkesbury is well connected to the national road network thanks to the A38, which travels south to Gloucester; the A46, which links to Coventry to the northeast; and the M5 motorway, which provides access to the M50 a few miles north. If you need public transport in Tewkesbury while your car is being repaired, Ashchurch for Tewkesbury railway station is on the outskirts of town on the Bristol to Birmingham Main Line, and Stagecoach operates most bus services.
Ticking and rattling are two closely related noises you might hear from your car. If you listen closely to where the sound is coming from and when it happens (while accelerating, for instance), you might be able to work out the cause.
The first thing to check is whether the engine oil is low, requiring a top-up - this is the best-case scenario. If your car is rattling and the sound is coming from the engine, it could be caused by a loose serpentine belt or timing chain. From the car's rear, it might be a loose exhaust or a broken catalytic converter, and the other possibility is worn suspension, which can cause rattling from the front or rear of the vehicle.
Possible explanations for ticking include worn spark plugs, knocking engine rods, dirty valve lifters and misaligned valves. You can learn more about these issues here.
Ticking and rattling noises should be taken seriously as they sometimes indicate a problem with the engine that could cause further damage if ignored.
