Most of the time when the AC stops working, it is because of a leak. The refrigerant system is a sealed system that is under pressure. If the pressure sensors detect the system is low, it will keep the compressor...

Hi Patel. Thanks for asking this question. When it comes to choosing oils, the best oil to use across the board for any vehicle is the one that the manufacturer recommends for that particular vehicle. Inside your owner manual, you'll...

Hello. If you are losing battery power to particular circuits then most of the time this is caused by a bad ground connection, a failing battery cable, or it may be a bad transmission position sensor. It is common for...

Hello. There is a computer that controls the door locks and the warning light that you see. It is known as the Body Control Module. Something has likely gone wrong with this module, which may or may not be repairable....

If the timing belt isn't moving, it is either broken or the teeth have stripped off at the crankshaft pulley. A broken timing belt will usually show signs of fraying at the camshaft sprocket. If the teeth stripped at the...

Hi there. In regards to replacing components, it's always best to purchase the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) component as opposed to an upgrade or aftermarket replacement. You might find it easier to have one of our mobile mechanics come to...

Hi there. This is possible, especially if the intensity of the noise changes as the weight of the vehicle is shifted from side to side. Wheel bearing failures will generally cause a constant growling noise but you may be in...

Hello. The noise you are hearing could very well be the differential. The fact it becomes worse when you accelerate is a good indication. The best way to tell is simply to do an inspection. Changing the oil regularly is...

The body shop would not be responsible for additional problems and the insurance company should cover it since this would be called a hidden problem that the body shop did not notice when giving the original estimate. They would charge...

Hi Monticello. Thanks for contacting us tonight. In most cases, this issue is caused by a damaged shift solenoid or perhaps an obstruction of debris inside the transmission hydraulic lines. It could also be caused by damaged inside the transmission...

You didn't say whether you got the car to run, but if you did, do not drive it. It can be very dangerous in this condition. The fuel pumped up to the engine is under pressure, so when it leaks...

The brake light is there to let you know when the brake fluid is low. It is very common for it to turn on and off when it is right at the point of being to low. When you stop,...

This can happen for a few different reasons and is usually related to things like the idle control valve or the MAP sensor. I would suggest checking the MAP sensor as this would seem to have more impact on this...

Hello. The first thing that I would do is to find out if the dealer has any technical service bulletins relating to your current problem. If there is a technical service bulletin related to your problem, you may be able...

Check the hose from the MAF sensor to the throttle body and see if there is a leak or if the hose clamps are loose. This will produce a vacuum leak before the intake and make the engine run different...

Hi there. The process of diagnosing a mechanical problem includes diagnostic scans (like downloading the OBD-II trouble codes you've displayed) and matching those codes with symptoms. This is why it's best to have a professional mobile mechanic complete an inspection...

In some cases, an OBD-II code like you've described can be triggered by the electrical harness attached to a sensor. So, it's possible that the reason you're having this idle problem is due to the harness being faulty as opposed...

Your car probably has several brake warning lights on the dashboard. I'll presume that you are talking about the one that comes on when the parking brake is set. If that light stays on it may mean there is a...

A cooling system pressure test should be performed to show the actual area of the issue. The water pump gasket, thermostat housing gasket, coolant hoses, radiator, heater hoses, or even the greater core could be the cause of the leak....

The oil leak may be coming from a leaking oil drain plug or another gasket or seal of the engine. The inlet tube is very important: it seals out the dirt and debris that the filter cleans out of the...

Yes, that is repairable on a mobile basis. The vehicle will have to be inspected, though, to develop a parts list. Please contact customer service for full details. Without seeing first hand the actual extent of the damage, it is...
