A loud car or a gas smell needs a look
If you smell exhaust or gas inside the car, open the windows and get it checked right away. Exhaust gas is toxic. A leak that gets into the cabin is a safety problem, not just a noise problem.
A car that got loud overnight has a leak or a failed part. Our mechanics check the whole system, from the exhaust manifold to the tailpipe. Then we repair or replace the section that failed.

Why not wait on an exhaust leak
Exhaust gas is toxic, and some leaks are hard to spot. That’s why an exhaust check is part of regular maintenance. A small leak is a small repair. Left alone, it gets louder and bigger.
