You may be wondering, Why Does My Car Squeal When I Start it up? There are several reasons it could be Squealing, but the usual cause is your vehicle's Belts. If the Belts are Worn or Cracked, they can Slip, which makes a Squealing or Screeching Noise. If the car (and Belt) is cold and/or dew covered, slippage is more of a problem until the rubber warms up and the belt fits tighter on the pulleys. It's best to get your car inspected frequently (at each oil change is best!) to prevent belts wearing and possibly breaking. At My Auto Works in Woodland, we do a free Pro Tech Check with every vehicle to make sure your car stays in top shape and make you aware of any safety concerns.
