red truck driving

Are you driving around with a loud scraping sound coming from beneath your vehicle? Chances are, a piece of your splash shielding has come loose under your car. At Oliver Automotive in Novato, we can have that annoying sound taken care of in no time.

Most modern cars, trucks, and SUVs have plastic splash shields installed on their underside. These shields protect your car from dirt, rocks, and rainwater coming off the road while you drive. Shielding prevents rust and corrosion, quiets your vehicle, and keeps it cleaner underneath. Inherently, these shields encounter danger, and it isn’t uncommon for them to break or come loose. The result is a loud, annoying scraping sound while you drive down the road, dragging the splash shield underneath your car.

Depending on the condition and location of the shielding, we can offer three solutions; we’ll either repair the broken piece, securing it back where it belongs, remove it altogether, or install a new piece. Generally, it’s a quick procedure, and your car will be cruising quietly down the road again in no time.

No matter what you drive, Oliver Automotive has you covered. For all your maintenance and repair needs, and for the best auto mechanics and service shop in Novato, call or come by today.
