My kids are not out of Community school yet- but the day is getting closer. When that happens, I too will have to source my “go-to-team” of professionals I can call on to help my Son – or daughter out of a jam. Sure I will go over the car with a fine tooth comb to make sure it is ready to leave on the College voyage. But their is always the freak accident of locking keys in the car, or hitting a object in the road and causing a flat tire – you know that kind of stuff. I will look for a facility that employees are ASE Certified, and has a nationwide warranty of at least 2 years / 24k miles. A place that gives back to the community and the college or school. Here at Chumbley’s we are those guys for you! I just hope I can find a Chumbley’s where ever my kids attend

Here at Chumbley’s, we often receive phone calls asking about a noise that appears when the wheels are rolling or stopping. It can range from and grinding, or squeaking noise, to a rhythmic click type noise. I will say that the most common causes are 1) worn out brake parts. 2) lose lug nuts ( Always have them “re-toured” after about 50 mile travel – post wheel installation on the vehicle). 3) Road debris – rocks wedged into places they are not to be. Those are the top three causes we see. If you hear any type of unfamiliar noise coming from the wheel area, stop in to Chumbley’s Auto Care in Indianola, IA and request that someone simply go for a ride around the block and listen to your noise concern. We will be happy to help, and may save you a lot of headache
