We are based in Brighton and it's a new business I've been a mechanic for last 8 years.
If you want to book a ticking or rattling noise repair in Worthing, you can compare quotes from our network of thousands of garages and mechanics, find the best price and instantly book online.
Worthing is 10 miles west of Brighton and 18 miles east of Chichester. In 2022, a popular travel guide named the town one of the best places in Sussex. During the 1970s and 80s, Dutton Cars - the world's largest kit car company - produced more than 8,000 vehicles in four factory sites in Worthing. There are five railway stations in the borough - all on the West Coastway Line - with local and long-distance buses operated by Stagecoach South.
Since Worthing is on the coast, cars in this area may experience a higher level of corrosion on key components, requiring them to be replaced more often. The bodywork starts to rust first; other parts most at risk include the brake callipers, nuts, and bolts. You can help to prevent this from happening by regularly washing your car, especially after a trip to the beach. Since rust spreads and eats away at metal components, it's best to get it fixed sooner rather than later. FixMyCar can help you find a bodywork specialist near Worthing.
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.
