Belt Replacement
Fan belts (or drive belts) dry out and crack over time. If you hear squealing or see wear, visit MC Automotive Inc in Farmington for expert belt inspection and replacement using quality parts.

It could be a loose gas cap-or something serious like a failing catalytic converter. Visit us in Farmington for quick code reading and diagnostics. At MC Automotive Inc, we can pull the code and diagnose the problem for you.
Factory Scheduled Maintenance
Automakers provide a service schedule for each vehicle. Our Farmington technicians follow this closely for gas and diesel vehicles, domestic or import, to ensure long-term performance.

FAQs About Automobile Squeaks, Squeals and Rattles
Why is my car making a squealing noise?
It may be a slipping fan belt. Listen for warning signs such as squeaking or chirping noises. These sounds are often caused by misalignment between the belt and pulley. If you come by MC Automotive Inc in Farmington, our professional auto repair technicians can inspect and realign the belt to stop the noise and address the problem before the belt fails completely.
Why does my car make a noise when I turn the steering wheel?
If your car makes strange sounds or clicking noises when you turn the steering wheel, one possible cause is low power steering fluid. When the fluid level drops, air can enter the power steering system and cause unwanted noises.
Come to MC Automotive Inc to have the power steering system inspected and the fluid level checked. If the noise returns quickly after the fluid is topped off, your vehicle may have a power steering fluid leak. Our professionals in Farmington can diagnose the cause and recommend the appropriate repair.
Why does my car squeal when I start it in the morning?
A squealing noise when starting your vehicle can be caused by a worn or loose belt. Depending on the vehicle and the source of the noise, the issue may involve an accessory drive belt or another belt-driven component. Because some belt failures can lead to serious mechanical problems, unusual or persistent noises should be inspected promptly. Come to MC Automotive Inc and our technicians can determine the source of the noise and recommend the proper repair.
Leaking Fluid FAQs
Why is water leaking on my foot on the driver's side?
The most common cause is a blocked air conditioning drain hose. This is typically a straightforward repair at MC Automotive Inc. Other possible causes of water leaking onto the driver's side floor include a damaged door seal or a leaking heat exchanger. Our technicians can inspect the source of the leak and determine the appropriate repair.
What should I do if my car creates a small oil leak on my driveway?
If the spill is still wet, cover the stain with an absorbent material such as clay cat litter, sand, cornmeal, cornstarch, or baking soda. This can help absorb the oil before it soaks further into the concrete. Once the spill has dried, sweep up the absorbent material and clean the remaining stain with soap and water.
A small oil leak on your driveway is also an indication that something may be wrong with your vehicle. Bring your car to MC Automotive Inc so the source of the leak can be diagnosed. An oil leak should not be ignored because loss of engine oil can eventually lead to serious engine damage.
Why is my car leaking a sweet-smelling fluid?
If you notice a sweet-smelling fluid leaking from your vehicle, coolant or antifreeze may be the source. A coolant leak can become a serious problem if left unaddressed. If the coolant level becomes too low, the engine may overheat and potentially suffer engine damage. Have the vehicle inspected promptly to locate and repair the leak.

Allison H., 07/20/2021
Today is a day my faith in humanity is restored! I have always felt more then confident in our Mechanics at MC Automotive but today is one of many days that ensured me we are in the BEST hands. Our new to us Yukon XL Denali was presenting issues with the dash and starting or not starting. I brought the vehicle in on very short notice and when picked it up it was working fine. It would not present the multiple errors bc the car was not having issues starting at the time. Joe, noticed my positive battery connection was loose. Thinking this may have been a contributor or cause. On my drive home the car finally worked perfectly. I made a stop before heading home and when attempting to restart my vehicle I was unsuccessful after multiple tries. I reached out to Christin in the office who kindly listened to all of my concerns and advised me to call Mike, the owner of the shop. He was extremely helpful and willing to do whatever needed to be done to get me up and running! . He sent his Mechanic, Joe to my rescue with a machine to read any errors and attempt to start the vehicle. After working very hard for well over an hour in the heat and sweating it was decided it may be an issue for the Dealership itself to reprogram modules or correct issues. But also offered that if it was determined that the error codes or issues did not need to be programmed by the dealership then I could bring it back to him and he would do whatever needed to try and fix it. He took so much time and effort out of his day as did Christin and Mike to answer my calls, and my concerns immediately. It feels like family there and who wouldn't want family working on their cars? I will always and forever as long as they are in operation...continue to bring my vehicles to them. Hands down they are the BEST automotive repair shop I have ever been to. If only everyone operated this way and treated their customers with such care the world would be so much better!!!!!!!!
