Johnny's Automotive Wauchula

The vehicle owner noticed the engine hot light turning on within less than 100 yards after starting, accompanied by a pinging noise.

The technician found that the coolant system required a complete flush, indicating potential issues with fluid circulation or contamination. The team performed a BG Complete Coolant System Flush, utilizing a BG machine to withdraw and flush out all fluids from the engine and radiator. They refreshed the system with new fluid to ensure optimal performance and prevent overheating.

After the service, the vehicle's engine operated at a normal temperature without overheating.

The vehicle was significantly out of alignment, causing it to pull to one side while driving.

The technician found that the vehicle's alignment was off, contributing to the pulling sensation. The team performed an alignment service on the sedan to correct the issue. They informed the vehicle owner that the alignment would be touched up at no extra charge once the two front tires are replaced, as the current tires were affecting the alignment.

The alignment service improved the vehicle's handling, though full correction will occur after tire replacement.

The vehicle owner reported a concerning noise coming from the brakes.

The technician determined that the brake pads were worn and needed replacement. The team at the Wauchula shop performed a brake pad replacement. They removed the old, worn-out brake pads and installed new ones, ensuring everything was torqued to the manufacturer's specifications.

After the service, the vehicle's braking system was quiet and functioned smoothly.

The vehicle owner reported that a transmission overheat warning message appeared on the dashboard.

The technician determined that the issue was related to the transmission oil cooler thermal bypass valve. The team removed and replaced the transmission oil cooler thermal bypass valve. They also performed an ATF fluid service using a BG fluid kit to refresh the transmission with new fluid.

The transmission overheat warning was resolved, ensuring the vehicle operated smoothly.
