Johnny's Automotive in Frostproof

The customer reported quarter-sized spots of fluid dripping under the vehicle, first noticed this week. After the customer changed the transmission pan and refilled the transmission to the proper level, the vehicle was still leaking from the transmission area.

The work performed at our Frostproof shop was a transmission cooler line bolt thread repair, which addressed the leak that continued after the pan was replaced. The technician notes list the job as a transmission cooler line bolt thread repair.

The vehicle owner reported that the brake pedal went to the floor.

At our Frostproof shop, the technician removed and replaced the rear disc brake calipers, performing the work needed to access and install the new components. The technician also used a BG fluid kit and then refreshed the system with new fluid.

The vehicle owner reported the auto start-stop warning light was illuminated on the dashboard and the vehicle occasionally struggled to crank and restart after the auto start-stop system shut off the engine at a stop light. A check engine light had also come on the week before but turned off on its own.

The technician installed a Die Hard AGM battery on the vehicle at the Frostproof shop, with the labor verified for a European model. The field notes do not record a battery test result or a stated cause, so the battery install was the repair performed for the start-stop and slow restart complaints.

The vehicle owner reported that the transmission was shifting funny and asked for it to be inspected and diagnosed before any other scheduled work on the vehicle.

The team at our Frostproof shop started with the transmission concern before the other scheduled work. The technician replaced the automatic transmission output shaft seal and removed and replaced the transmission fluid and filter. The repair procedure included adding fluids as needed and retesting to verify the repair.
