Frequently asked questions about exhaust repair

Why does smoke come out of the exhaust after an oil change?

This could be due to oil burning off from a spill. It can also be a more serious issue like a gasket leak.

Why is my exhaust making noise?

Noise can be due to loose parts, holes, or damage in your exhaust system.

Why is my car exhaust rattling?

Rattling often means loose or broken exhaust components in your exhaust system.

How long does it take to repair car exhaust?

It can take from a couple of hours to a full day.

How often does a car exhaust need to be replaced?

Exhaust systems typically last five to seven years. This can vary based on driving conditions and maintenance though.

What does white smoke from the exhaust when accelerating mean?

Do mobile mechanics do mobile exhaust repair near me?

It will depend on the mechanic, but at the RAC, our mobile mechanics can do rear silencer replacements.

Is it expensive to fix an exhaust?
