After replacing the battery I noticed a wire had come loose from what ever it was connected to. I don’t know where it goes. It seems to be coming from the same direction as the main…

They said the transmission wasn’t going into overdrive, so they flashed the computer. We…

With the warmer temperatures coming a little bit early this year, we have seen quite a few cars coming in the shop with air conditioning problems. Once people start using their air conditioning, they make a bee line to the shop if it is not cooling properly. Usually we can hook up our A/C machine to a vehicle and tell right away what the problem…
