I got an oil change last week. Left the shop and went to pick up a kid from school and noticed a horribly loud squeak as I inched through the parking lot. The noise was not there before the oil change. It doesn’t matter if I apply the brakes or not, drive straight or turning. Same horrible noise only between 5-10 mph. The shop that performed the oil change is absolutely unhelpful. They checked the tire pressure said they have no idea why my “tire” is squeaking and I should take it to a mechanic for an inspection. WHAT. Bro, first of all, “wheel” and “tire” are two different things. My tire is fine. It’s the WHEEL making the horrendous noise, and it just started when I left their shop! Help?! 😩 ---

I wonder if the bearings are blown ? ---

Two thoughts; brake dust shield contacting the rotor or brake wear indicator. I had a situation once where a small pebble got stuck between the disc brake rotor and the dust shield. Was pretty annoying until I pried it out of there with a long handled screwdriver. Someone may be able to find out what it is by jacking the wheel off the ground and rotating it by hand… ---

> [@TwinTurbo](#): > > I had a situation once where a small pebble got stuck between the disc brake rotor and the dust shield. Was pretty annoying until I pried it out of there I had the same experience, many years ago, with a rental car. Before I could get it back to the rental agency, the pebble shattered and the squeeking immediately ceased. ---

Have someone inspect the vehicle for a broken strut spring. ![C_YJoqkWAAAbJXn](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/3X/0/6/06f88dc396c78751cbc9a703a3628366e3c8c154.jpeg) If the spring was broken when you had the oil changed, and when the vehicle was lifted, the broken section of the coil spring may have shifted out of place, and is now touching the wheel.

Did the oil change place do a tire rotation?? If oil change only, was the vehicle lifted with the tires hanging, or did they use a drive on rack, or a pit like quick lube places do??
