What Caused the Grinding Brakes?
The Problem
The vehicle owner reported issues with the front brakes and requested a recheck for a dye leak after a recent A/C service.
What We Found
The technician found that the front brake pads and rotors needed replacement, and identified a faulty flow sensor in the A/C system causing a leak.
The Fix
The team replaced the front brake pads and rotors to address the braking issue. For the A/C system, they installed a new compressor with clutch and expansion valve, evacuated and recharged the system, and ensured all components were functioning correctly.
The Result
After the repairs, the vehicle's brakes operated smoothly and the A/C system functioned without leaks.
Pro Tip
Brake pads that grind usually mean the rotors need replacement too. Addressing this early can prevent further damage and higher costs.

Why Is My Check Engine Light On with Code P0420?
The Problem
The vehicle owner noticed the check engine light was illuminated, indicating a potential issue with the catalytic converter as suggested by the code P0420.
What We Found
The technician performed a thorough diagnosis and confirmed that the catalytic converter was not functioning properly, triggering the check engine light.
The Fix
The team at our Lake Wales shop replaced the faulty catalytic converter with a new one to resolve the issue. Additionally, they installed two new tires and a Gold Die Hard battery to ensure the vehicle was in optimal condition.
The Result
The check engine light was turned off, and the vehicle was running smoothly with the new catalytic converter.
Pro Tip
When your check engine light comes on with a code like P0420, it often indicates a catalytic converter issue. Addressing it promptly can prevent further engine problems and maintain fuel efficiency.

Why Is My Car Shuddering and Idling Rough?
The Problem
The vehicle owner reported a coolant leak and experienced shuddering upon startup with rough idling.
What We Found
The technician identified that the engine block assembly needed replacement to address the coolant leak and performance issues.
The Fix
The team at our Lake Wales shop performed a long-block replacement, which involved removing and replacing necessary components to access and install the new engine block. They also flushed all systems and used BG conditioners to ensure maximum protection of the new components.
The Result
After the engine replacement and fluid flush, the vehicle ran smoothly without any startup shudder or rough idling.
Pro Tip
If your car shudders on startup and idles roughly, it might be time for an engine check. Addressing these issues early can prevent more costly repairs down the road.

Why Won't My Car Stay On at Red Lights?
The Problem
The vehicle would shut off at red lights, and the check engine light would come on randomly.
What We Found
The technician noted that the vehicle was exhibiting symptoms similar to a previous issue related to the crankshaft position sensor.
The Fix
The team at our Lake Wales shop installed a new Die Hard AGM battery to address the power issues. This battery installation included Die Hard Battery Assurance, providing roadside assistance services for added peace of mind.
The Result
With the new battery installed, the vehicle's stalling issue at red lights was resolved.
Pro Tip
If your car stalls or shuts off unexpectedly, it might be a battery issue. A high-quality AGM battery can provide reliable power and reduce the risk of unexpected shutdowns.

Auto Repair in Lake Wales: questions answered
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Lake Wales.
Do I need an appointment just to have something looked at?
It helps, and it's the fastest way to get on a lift. Call the shop closest to you and tell us what you're hearing or seeing, and we'll get you a time. If the car isn't safe to drive, say so on the phone and we'll work around it.
Do you work on my make and model?
Almost certainly. Our ASE certified technicians work on domestic, Asian, and European cars and light trucks every day, gas and diesel. If something needs a dealer-only tool or procedure we don't have, we'll tell you up front instead of taking your money and finding out later.
Is the 36 month, 36,000 mile warranty really good anywhere?
Yes. It's a nationwide warranty, not a come-back-to-us warranty. If a covered repair gives you trouble while you're traveling, it's honored at participating shops around the country. Keep your paperwork or just call us and we'll help you sort it out from here.
How do estimates and approvals work?
You get the inspection results with photos before you get a number, so you can see what we're talking about. Then we price the work and you approve what you want done, item by item. If we open something up and find more than we expected, the work stops and we call you before anything else happens.
Can I bring you a diagnosis another shop already gave me?
Sure, and bring the paperwork. We'll take it seriously, but we'll still verify it ourselves before we sell you a repair based on it. Sometimes it confirms exactly what they found, and sometimes it saves you from replacing a part that wasn't the problem.
