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!

A customer dropped off an Outback today for a transmission diagnostic. They said they had recently been to the dealer to diagnose the issue and received a quote that they felt was too high. While looking the vehicle over during my diagnostic process, I came across multiple holes in the subframe of the vehicle. This is the second vehicle I have seen come to me from the dealer with holes in the subframe. The issue I have is that the dealer didn’t notify either customer or give them an estimate for the subframe. I consider a rusted out subframe a safety concern since the suspension connects to it. At least mention the subframe to the customer so that they are aware of a potential issue.
If you want to make sure that your car is safe for the upcoming winter, call or text me for an appointment. 724-740-8009
