Grinding Sounds After Car Repair:

Okay, please be gentle with me. I'm very ignorant when it comes to cars. So the things I may say or ask will most likely be....stupid.

I got into a car accident a couple months ago and recently got it back from the repair shop. It was a frontal collision. I start my car and for about 30 minutes, everything is fine. However, afterwards, the car just starts making these deep bass sounds, elevating into a weird grinding sound. Like a rough hum. What should I do? I'm planning on taking it back ASAP, but I'm really nervous about it.

Also, when it was returned from the shop, it had no engine cooler fluid. Is there a reason for that? Just wondering. |:

It sounds like the shop screwed up the repairs, and that it was careless when it failed to put in engine coolant before returning the car to you.
Bring the car back and let the shop know every problem that has developed since the wreck so that the shop can fix the problems.
