Had an interesting car the other day. Customers issue was that the battery regularly died after sitting for a couple days. The customer has been dealing with this issue for several years. The dealer has replaced 4 batteries in the car. Apparently actually diagnosing the parasitic draw was overlooked by them. I did my due diligence and performed the test. After some testing I found that the aftermarket remote start installed in the car was causing the draw. The manufacturer specified the max allowed draw was 75 ma. The car had a 68 ma draw. Technically in spec, but excessive in my opinion. Removed the remote start and its associated wiring and the draw dropped significantly. Sometimes you just have to do the work to achieve the results. If you need some work done, call or text me for an appointment. 724-740-8009.

Call or text me for an appointment! 724-740-8009 Thanks!

Is your TPMS light on? It’s that time of year! Colder overnight temperatures bring down tire pressures. A tire that may have 30psi in the afternoon may drop to 27psi or below overnight. 27psi is the average pressure that most manufacturers use as the trigger for a TPMS light. The light can indicate a tire or tires with low pressure or a failed sensor. If your light is on and you’re tired of seeing it, call me for an appointment. I can diagnose and replace failed sensors, repair leaks and reseal leaky beads or valve stems. Call 724-740-8009 to schedule an appointment.

This customer has had an ongoing oil leak issue in their Accord for a while. The valve cover gasket was leaking as well as the oil pressure switch was leaking. Replaced both of those and cleaned everything up. I also installed a new PCV valve while the valve cover was off. This should help address their problem. If you would like to make an appointment for diagnosis or repair, call or text me at 724-740-8009.

Replaced this leaking axle with a shiny new one today. I originally looked this car over and made several recommendations for necessary repairs. The customer and I made a plan to get the repairs done in stages. The most necessary first, progressing towards completing them all. A wise man was asked how to eat an elephant. He replied, one bite at a time.
If you have repairs that need done, do the most important first. If you need someone to advise you on what needs done and when, then call or text me and make an appointment. 724-740-8009 Thanks!
