Slow to Start With Severe Corrosion on the Battery
What the customer reported
The vehicle owner brought the vehicle to our Lake Wales shop for an oil change and reported that the vehicle was slow to start, asking the team to check the battery.
What we found and did
The battery failed testing and was identified as the reason for the slow start concern, with severe corrosion found that needed deep cleaning around the terminals. The technician installed a new Gold Die Hard battery to address the slow start.

Car Towed In Dead: Battery, Starter, or Alternator?
What the customer reported
The vehicle arrived at our Lake Wales shop on a AAA tow after it stopped working entirely. The owner knew the battery, starter, or alternator was likely to blame but wasn't sure which one had failed.
What we found and did
The technician performed an initial no-charge assessment of the starting and charging components and identified the starter assembly as the failed part. The team removed the faulty starter assembly and installed a replacement. With the new starter in place, the vehicle was tested to confirm it cranked and started properly.
Result
The vehicle that came in on a tow truck left our Lake Wales shop running and starting reliably again.
Pro Tip
A single click or no sound at all when you turn the key often points to the starter, while slow, labored cranking leans toward the battery. Have all three tested together before buying parts, since guessing wrong can mean paying for a battery you didn't need.

What Caused the Brake Fluid to Be Overdue?
What the customer reported
The vehicle owner experienced decreased braking performance and a grinding noise when applying the brakes.
What we found and did
The technician discovered that both the front and rear brake pads and rotors were worn out, and the brake fluid was overdue for replacement by 54,494 miles. The team replaced the front and rear brake pads and rotors to restore proper braking function. They also performed a complete brake fluid flush, cleaning the reservoir and lines before refilling with new fluid to ensure optimal performance.
Result
After the repairs, the vehicle's braking performance was restored, and the grinding noise was eliminated.
Pro Tip
Brake fluid should be flushed and replaced every 30,000 miles to prevent overdue maintenance. Neglecting this can lead to reduced braking efficiency and potential damage to brake components.

What Caused the Brake Pads to Wear Out?
What the customer reported
The vehicle owner noticed a decline in braking performance and a grinding noise when applying the brakes.
What we found and did
The technician found the front brake pads were beyond their usable life, with less than 3mm remaining, posing a major safety concern. The team at our Lake Wales shop replaced the worn front brake pads and rotors. They also performed a drum brake service, which involved cleaning, adjusting, and inspecting the rear brakes to ensure optimal performance.
Result
After the service, the vehicle's braking performance was restored, providing safe and reliable stopping power.
Pro Tip
Brake pads should be inspected regularly, especially if you hear grinding noises. Replacing them when they're worn can prevent rotor damage, saving you money on more extensive repairs.

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.
