Should Engine Knocking Or Pinging Sound Concern Me?

Danco Transmission & Auto Care can understand why our customers in the greater Fairfield area would wonder if the presence of a knocking, or pinging sound, coming from their vehicles' engines should be of concern. Danco Transmission & Auto Care tells our customers that the presence of an occasional engine knocking or pinging noise will not necessarily be harmful to the engine. Additionally, when a pinging or knocking noise from the engine can be heard, it does not indicate a switch should be made to gasoline with a higher octane level. But if the pinging or knocking in the engine becomes persistent or heavy, that knocking sound could be the indication of a more serious car engine problem and to avoid any damage we suggest our customers bring their vehicle to Danco Transmission & Auto Care and let a member of our skilled auto repair mechanic team inspect the engine knocking to avoid any potential to the vehicle's engine. Of course Danco Transmission & Auto Care invites you to schedule online.
