If you turn the key to start your car one morning and notice it’s much louder than usual, it’s likely time for an exhaust repair. A damaged exhaust pipe or failing muffler not only creates excessive noise but can also impact your vehicle’s emissions, performance, and even allow toxic fumes to enter your cabin. At Mckenzie Tireland in Calgary, we offer expert exhaust and muffler repair services to keep your vehicle safe and quiet.
Signs You Need an Exhaust Repair
A vehicle’s exhaust system includes the muffler, which reduces engine noise and directs exhaust gases safely away from the vehicle. If you notice a noisy muffler or experience any of the following symptoms, bring your vehicle to Mckenzie Tireland in Calgary for a thorough exhaust inspection:
- Vibrating: Loose exhaust hangers or other hardware can cause unwanted vibrations when the vehicle is idling.
- Rattling noise: Hanger or hardware issues may lead to a mechanical rattling sound and vibrations.
- Clunking noise: A clunking sound from the muffler often indicates damage.
- Dangling or dragging tailpipe: Over time, rubber exhaust hangers may dry out, crack, or break, causing exhaust pipes to dangle visibly below the vehicle.
- High emissions: Exhaust issues may cause you to fail an emissions test or trigger a trouble code, illuminating the Check Engine light.
- Unusual exhaust smell: An exhaust leak can lead to gases entering the cabin, so take note if you smell anything out of the ordinary.
What is Included in a Muffler Repair?
A typical muffler repair takes 30 to 60 minutes, though repairs involving the mid-pipe or downpipe can require additional time. At Mckenzie Tireland in Calgary, our exhaust repair service includes a full inspection of:
- Catalytic converter, tailpipe gaskets, and hangers
- Oxygen sensors and wiring
- Essential hardware like nuts, bolts, and screws
Mufflers generally last between 40,000 and 80,000 miles, but harsh driving conditions—such as cold weather, road salt, debris, and potholes—can cause premature wear. To reduce corrosion, it’s helpful to regularly wash the underside of your vehicle and, when replacement is necessary, choose a muffler made of corrosion-resistant steel. Our specialists at Mckenzie Tireland in Calgary carefully inspect your entire exhaust system for rust and damage whenever your car is lifted.
