Why Is The Car With Squiggly Lines and The ABS Light on Dash?

Why Is The Car With Squiggly Lines and The ABS Light on Dash?

Why Is The Car With Squiggly Lines and The ABS Light on Dash Hey there everyone! Welcome back to our blog page! We recently had a vehicle in the shop that had a few dash lights on on a Volkswagen. We thought it would be a good idea to dive into two of them to see what kind of diagnosing extent a technician may need to go through to find the cause of the problem.   (photo taken from actual digital vehicle inspection) In this vehicle, the customer had two lights on together on the dash, the ABS light and the "car with squiggly lines" better known as the Traction Control light. Now, before we get into it, this is just a scenario for what we found with this vehicle, this does not necessarily mean that if these two lights are on together, that this will always be the same diagnosis. It could be something entirely different, so just keep that in mind.  Upon pulling the codes to this vehicle, the codes lead us to a sensor or circuit ... read more

Should I Inspect my Rental Car Before Driving? Hey Venice, Jenny here with a topic that might have you scratching your head or wondering, well should I inspect my rental before driving it off the lot?

Auto Repair Shop Ending Hunger in Southwest Florida Part II

Auto Repair Shop Ending Hunger in Southwest Florida Part II

Auto Repair Shop Ending Hunger in Southwest Florida Part II Back in November we had run a campaign to collect canned goods, non perishables, hygiene products and even pet products for the South County Food Pantry. We decided to keep the food drive running through the new year and even had help from another auto repair shop on the East coast of Florida, A&H Automotive. Through these gracious efforts we hope to get the food Pantries and food banks back in good standing since hurricane Ian swept through.  We received boxes of goods from A&H automotive and items from our local clientele that all contributed to our second haul for the South County Food Pantry. A&H understood what all entails when you are hit with a category 5 hurricane, so they jumped right in to help us with our initiative. We couldn't be more thankful for the support we have received from them and all contributing businesses over on the east coast to make this possible.  ... read more

Auto Repair Shop Helping to End Hunger for Southwest Florida

Auto Repair Shop Helping to End Hunger for Southwest Florida Hurricane Ian came ripping through Southwest Florida on September 27th, 2022. It caused so much devastation to our side of the coast, that the need for food, and basic necessities was very much felt throughout the communities. A local newspaper article recently wrote that the local Food Banks are in much need for the holidays coming up. The participating agencies are Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Senior Friendship Center, and the South County Food Pantry. We have partnered with our friends and neighbors at the South County Food Pantry to be a drop off location for canned goods and non perishable items.  We are asking all of our friends, neighbors, clients and family to bring in any donations they might be able to give and in return we are going to enter those into a drawing for a FREE Turkey on November 18th. (We want to make sure you have more than enough notice before ... read more
