This is where things may be going. An interesting take.

For the past few years some companies have made it so their products cannot be repaired by anyone outside of that company. This makes it difficult, if not im...

The daughter of one of my best customers called from Phoenix today. She is a 20 year old who is studying law in Phoenix, AZ. She was given a quote for $890.00 to replace the EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) assembly at a Subaru dealership there. She called me wondering if this seemed like a legitimate price and wanted to know if I could do the repair and possibly save her some money. After a bit of research I discovered multiple TSBs (Technical Service Bulletins) relating to the the problem she was having with her EPB. Among the bulletins was a warranty extension granted to owners of these vehicles by Subaru. After calling her back and letting her know what I found she called the dealer and asked if her vehicle was covered under the warranty. The service advisor stated that he had checked and that it wasn't. She said, and I'm paraphrasing, You might want to check again or I can send it to you. After which he stuttered and stammered and said Let me look again. Then he miraculously found that the vehicle was indeed covered under warranty. There is no way to be sure if this was incompetence or underhanded but it certainly does raise some questions. The fact that there are multiple TSBs related to this issue raises a red flag IMO. I'm writing this because I'm happy I was able to help someone and to give kudos to her for the way she handled the situation.

What does it mean when your Check Engine light comes on? It means you should get to a service facility (preferably mine, lol) to find out what the light is warning you about. The only way to know for sure is to have the car's computer scanned for codes. The problems can range from a loose gas cap to an engine misfire. It could be something that is detrimental to the atmosphere, to your vehicle or both. The point is that there are many reasons your Check Engine light can come on. It's best to have it checked by a professional. So if your Check Engine light is on or comes on, get to a professional. If you are in my area give me a call @ 520-981-9933 I'm happy to help. I have up to date training, scanners and diagnostic equipment. Now offering free code scan and advice so you can be more informed. Please call for appointment. Thank you :)

Once again a customer came in with a quote from the dealer and there were not only items that didn't need replacing but other items that were overlooked. Customer was told he needed a lower radiator hose and it was fine. The labor charge to change the hose was about 4 times too high. They also recommended a cleaning in order to find an oil leak. The leak was painfully obvious and the bottom of the engine was clean. The oil drain plug gasket was leaking. The engine and cabin filters were very dirty and there was no recommendation to replace them. The coolant was low and the spare was also. Not sure if it's "one bad apple," mismanagement or incompetence. I ended up doing the needed work and saved the customer over $400.00. If you want an automotive technician you can trust give me a call. 520-981-9933
