PLEASE HELP!
Hey guys. 2011 LS owner here.
I recently brought my car in for some outside repairs. My rear passanger quarter panal was struck my a falling tree (seriously). Anyway It drove just fine and i just got it back from the repair shop. Oddly enough for some reason (today is my first day driving it since the repairs) every time I "rev" the engine i get this squeeling sound? What could they possibly have done to my car? Im going back today(obviously) but Im curious as to why they would have even messed with my engine, and why it squeels every time I "rev" the RPMs. |

Did the car sit for a long time while they worked on it? May just be a pulley/belt making noise.

If it's a misaligned belt it's an easy fix, just need to pop open the hood and realign it. |

Very sorry to hear about this! Did you take the vehicle to a certified GM dealer or independent shop? William R. Chevrolet Customer Care |

I feel kind of silly. Brought it back. Turns out it was actually lack of power steering fluid. |

I think its time to go to a Chevy repair shop. If you still have warranty on your car they will take care of you (they will take care of it even if there is no warranty).
