It can be hard to know when an issue with your car warrants a trip to the mechanic. If your
Hyundai Accent
is ticking when you accelerate, it’s most likely either low oil levels, an issue with the ignition system, or an exhaust leak.
Some of these issues are more serious than others, so it’s important to take your Accent to the nearest dealership or mechanic to diagnose the problem. While the problem is usually not serious, it can be an indication that there is something wrong with your engine. If that’s the case, it’s important to get it checked out right away.
Fortunately,
Hyundais are not expensive to maintain
. In fact, their yearly repair costs are significantly below average. The cost to
inspect a noise from the engine
on your Hyundai can vary from $90 to 150.
