Not Sure What’s Wrong? Here Are Some Possible Answers

Sounds

It sounds terrifying because it’s supposed to. Many brake pads come with brake pad indicators, small devices that rub against your rotor when your brake pads start to wear down too much.

It could be a loose or worn down serpentine belt, which transports power to various auto components – the alternator, A/C, power steering pump, and water pump.

If you hear this while moving at low speed only for it to go away once you hit higher speed, it could be a loose lug nut inside your hub cap. 

This indicates your battery is having trouble powering your engine. Maybe it’s your battery’s time to die, maybe it’s running out of juice, maybe it just needs a jump.

Usually emitting from under the driver’s seat, this sound indicates a crack or leak in the exhaust system’s manifold (meaning all of the noise your engine makes is entering the vehicle).

This indicates a problem with your power-steering system.

This is typically caused by a ventilation flap having become misaligned, worn down, or loose – hence, it starts to flap.

Smells

Usually the result of antifreeze leaking from your cooling system.

It may be that the catalytic converter has gone bad.

This is often the result of overheating components or short circuits in the electrical system.

This is most likely a problem with a belt – it could have either slipped or is getting chewed up by a pulley.

This is likely mold in your A/C system, which is more common in older vehicles due to the A/C evaporator collecting moisture over time.

Smelling gas after your engine warms up could mean you have a loose gas cap or there’s a leak or clog in the evaporative emissions control system (this system contains and recycles fuel vapors).

Finding The Right Idaho Falls Auto Repair Shop Can Be Tricky

Here’s What You Should Look For In An Auto Mechanic

1. Professional Customer Service

Good mechanics know how to listen, even if it means reading between the lines when someone is explaining the problem to them. Many people don’t know the ins and outs of their vehicles, so good mechanics can interpret the reported symptoms and get a good idea of what the diagnosis is or know where to start to diagnose the problem.

But, it’s not all just listening. It’s making sure we give you the honest solution to fix the problem. Even if we can’t help. C&S Auto Repair will make sure you have the right answer each and every time. 

2. Good Reputation

  • My family has gone to CNS for years. They are honest and fair. Even though I've moved out of state, I try and wait to get my car repaired tell I come down to Idaho Falls to visit so I can have CNS fit it. I am down visiting now, and before I left I was told by a tire place that I needed new breaks and tires. They wanted a fortune to do it so I waited until I came to Idaho Falls to have my breaks replaced and, once again, CNS did not fail to impress me with their honesty and awesomely fair prices. Next time you have car problems go to CNS and see for yourself how amazing they are, you won't regret it and you'll never go any where else once you try them. Thanks CNS for being so great!

  • We bought a newer vehicle that only came with one fob. I got a new fob for Christmas but couldn't find a locksmith that could program it. I was referred to C & S by an audio shop. I called C & S and they said bring it over, we can program it. I brought them the vehicle and it went in immediately. Within 15 minutes, I was on my way. How much do I owe you? I asked. Nothing. Nothing. Are you kidding me? Who does that? I'd have had to take it to the dealer and pay a hundred bucks! THAT is customer service. Will I go there again? Are you kidding me? Who wouldn't? You have to try them!

  • These guys are the best, I have had these guys work on my 1998 mercedes sl500 a few times and they have done a great job. I travel all over the U.S. and if my baby needs repair and if there is anyway I can hold off until I get back home then I wait. I have never felt anything other than trust with C and S auto and if I ever hear anyone talk about needing repairs on their car then I tell them to see these guys. Jerry M

  • A few weeks back my girlfriend and I were traveling across country for the purpose of moving her from Oregon to Indiana.. with all of her belongings in her car. We stopped off in Idaho Falls for a pit stop. Once we got back on the ramp and spent 2 seconds on the highway the car started over heating with coolant spewing everywhere and we pulled over. We had it towed to the nearest and apparently the best auto shop. Immediately they were very helpful, it happened to be Friday and they looked at the car quickly and had an idea what the problem was. The owner stayed late working and the next day he came in on Sat just for our car and figured out the root cause of overheating was internal.. boiling the coolant over. Turns out it was obviously not worth fixing but it took all his effort to figure that out, on top of him showing us other issues that would have saved us as well. He let us leave our car there in Idaho to have a scrapper pick it up. He did so much for us and ended up charging us nothing at all! Our situation was wonderful solely because Chris went above and beyond. Thanks for allowing us to hang in your lobby and bring you all our car trouble.. no other auto shop can even compare.

  • Great place. Years ago they saved me almost $800 dollars when I came in thinking I needed a repair that I did not need. It's the only place I go to get my cars serviced.

  • C&S saved our bacon. Blew a spark plug while heading home from vacation. Fifty miles from home and most shops would not work on it for two to three days. Despite being obviously busy, these guys got the truck fixed and back on the road quickly and the price was very reasonable. If I lived in Idaho Falls this would definitely be my mechanic of choice!

  • These guys were my go-to auto repair shop until I moved to Nampa back in August. Ryan and the owners say what they do and do what they say. Less than trustworthy auto repair shops are far too common. But with C&S I had a peace of mind knowing they were going to do the right thing and perform quality work, and I wasn't going to get worked over on the price. I've had 3 different vehicles in their shop, on 6 or 7 different occasions, in the last couple years and I have been very satisfied with and grateful for my experiences with them. They're not in this business for the money, they're in it to serve and take care of people. AND THAT'S WHY THEIR SERVICE IS SECOND TO NONE!!! Major props to C&S!

  • Just picked up my car from C&S Auto. Honest, reliable, skilled and reasonable. One of the best finds I've been fortunate to make since moving to Idaho. I wouldn't go anywhere else, and wouldn't think of letting my kids go to any other shop either. I can't recommend them highly enough!Update 09/2015 - been using C&S since 2008 and still love these guys! They are the best and I wouldn't trust my automotive needs to anyone but them.
