It’s the scraping. That incessant scraping whenever you drive your car is enough to drive even the most sane person mad!

If you aren’t aware of what’s actually making that sound from beneath your car, then let us be the first to tell you; it’s your car’s undercarriage. The undercarriage is the section of your vehicle that is underneath the main cabin of your vehicle.

The undercarriage serves to protect the bottom mechanics of your vehicle from the elements and constant wear and tear experienced while driving. Damage to it can lead to more serious and costly car issues in the future!

What Causes Auto Undercarriage Damage?

The top-side of a car is the primary attention grabber and, therefore, gets the most car. That said, the undercarriage often goes unthought of and the damage it suffers goes untreated. The causes for this damage include:

It’s in your best interest to maintain your undercarriage. If it does suffer any damage, then getting it fixed ASAP is crucial. Keeping the potential for larger expenses low should be a priority with vehicle maintenance and your undercarriage falls squarely under that umbrella.

Some undercarriage problems cost more than others. For instance, undercarriage rust is a serious problem that could render your vehicle unsafe to drive. Repairing it could easily cost between $2,000 and $3,000. Staying on top of your vehicle's condition pays off with lower repair bills in the future.

Is Damage To The Undercarriage Serious?

Yes, because damage to your undercarriage leaves the underbody of your car exposed to further damage. A bouncing rock or piece of debris could puncture your oil pan or damage your transmission!

What Happens If You Damage Underneath Your Car?

Damaging the underside of your car means you are scraping the protective coatings of the metal surfaces underneath there. This constant damage exposes your car to the risks of corrosion, which could lead to failure of these parts.
