Why Hickory drivers book mobile exhaust leak & manifold repair
Hickory is the biggest city on our western edge, and I-40 makes it an easy run. We cover Viewmont, Mountain View, the airport area, and everything along US-70 and US-321. We've done plenty of exhaust leak & manifold repair jobs in this part of Catawba County, and the process is the same everywhere: confirm the problem, quote it, fix it, and clean up.
What's included
A ticking on cold start that fades as the engine warms is a cracked exhaust manifold or broken manifold bolt. A sudden loud exhaust is usually a rusted flex pipe or flange. Fumes inside the cabin are dangerous. We find the leak with a smoke test, and repair manifolds, gaskets, flex pipes, and clamps in your driveway.
- Smoke-test the exhaust to locate the leak
- Replace the manifold gasket or extract broken manifold bolts
- Replace flex pipes, gaskets, hangers, and clamps
- Verify with a second smoke test
Signs it's time
- Ticking that goes away when the engine warms
- Loud exhaust that got loud suddenly
- Exhaust smell in the cabin
- Check engine light for O2 sensor or lean codes
