What Caused the Brake Fluid to Darken?
The Problem
The vehicle owner noticed that the brake fluid appeared dark and was concerned about its condition.
What We Found
The technician found that the brake fluid was dark and had absorbed moisture, which can affect braking performance.
The Fix
The team performed a brake fluid service by flushing the brake system reservoir and lines, replacing the old fluid with new, clear fluid. They used a BG fluid kit to ensure thorough cleaning and refreshment of the brake system.
The Result
The brake system was restored to optimal performance with clear, moisture-free fluid.
Pro Tip
Brake fluid should be clear and free of moisture to ensure effective braking. Consider a brake fluid service every 30,000 miles to maintain safety and performance.

Jerking When Accelerating and Check Engine Light
The Problem
The vehicle was experiencing jerking when accelerating and the check engine light was illuminated.
What We Found
The technician found that the coolant was acidic, which could damage the water pump, radiator, and thermostat.
The Fix
The team performed a complete coolant system flush using a BG machine to withdraw and flush out all fluids from the engine and radiator. They then refreshed the system with new BG fluid. Additionally, they replaced the valve cover, radiator, coolant reservoir, hoses, spark plugs, and one ignition coil.
The Result
The vehicle's performance improved, and the check engine light was no longer illuminated.
Pro Tip
If your vehicle jerks during acceleration, it might be due to issues with the ignition system or coolant condition. Addressing acidic coolant early can prevent costly damage to your engine's components.

What Caused the Grinding Brakes?
The Problem
The vehicle owner reported a noise from the front left suspension when turning and concerns about the brakes.
What We Found
The technician found that the brake system was overdue for a fluid exchange by 130,963 miles, which could lead to compromised brake performance.
The Fix
The team at our Winter Haven shop performed a BG ABS Power Bleed & Brake Fluid Exchange, replacing the old, contaminated fluid with BG Premium Brake Fluid. They also replaced the brake pads and rotors, ensuring the brake system was functioning optimally.
The Result
After the service, the vehicle's brake performance was restored, and the grinding noise was resolved.
Pro Tip
Brake fluid should be replaced every 30,000 miles to prevent contamination and ensure optimal braking performance. Delaying this service can lead to costly repairs and reduced safety.

What Winter Haven customers say about our preventive maintenance work
The BEST experience I have ever had with a car repair shop! Their customer service exceeded all expectations from the time I came in to explain my issues with my vehicle, to the timing of the inspection, and the estimate. They were ALL super friendly and professional! I would HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone in need of auto care because, they DO care! Oh, and I cannot forget the red roses in my steering wheel...nice touch, Johnny's!!! 😃

The guys Jeff and his assistant are wonderful. They are very knowledgeable and kept us informed of what was needed for our vehicle. We really felt like they cared about our car and treated us with respect as valued customers. They kept us informed of the status of our car without having to chase them down like at other mechanic/repair shops. In addition, Jeff and his staff even gave us a loaner car until the repairs were completed on our car. We will definitely come back for maintenance and any time we have car issues. This shop has been around for six years and is clean, have rest rooms, and snacks for their customers( which my husband loves to indulge ever time we visit). WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND BRINGING YOUR VEHICLE HERE!

I used Johnny’s for my pre-purchase inspection on a used vehicle. Ron was incredibly kind and helpful, shared expertise on how to best maintain my car, and was a pleasure to work with.

Took my car to Johnny’s for regular maintenance, they were thorough, reasonable, and quick. Jeff was amazing, customer service was great, the facility is clean and not like any other shop I’ve been to. Highly recommended!

Very trustworthy. Prices are equal to or slightly less than what I would pay for the same maintenance or repair service at a dealership. However, the positive difference in the attitude of their customer people, and their efficient and immaculate business environment, their customer service amenities in the waiting room, and the overall verifiable, concrete evidence of a strong customer focus ethic - all go together to make Johnny's my maintenance and repair shop of choice, whether it is my 13-year-old car, or my 2-year-old's car. They make what could potentially be a very unpleasant experience, just the opposite. Kudos to the manager and all those who work there, from the mechanics to the customer service desk. Excellent place, staffed by people who take excellence seriously.

Preventive Maintenance in Winter Haven: questions answered
Answered by our licensed technicians serving Winter Haven.
How do I know what my car actually needs right now?
Give us the year, make, model, and mileage and we'll pull up the schedule your manufacturer published for that car. That tells us what's due by the book. The digital inspection tells us the rest, because a photo of your actual filter or fluid beats a guess every time.
Do I have to go to the dealer to keep my factory warranty?
No. You can have your scheduled maintenance done at an independent shop like ours without giving up your factory warranty. What matters is that the work follows the manufacturer's schedule and that you keep the records. We document what we did, when, and at what mileage, so you have the paperwork if anyone ever asks for it.
What is severe service, and does Florida driving count?
Most owner's manuals list two schedules, normal and severe. Severe covers short trips, stop and go traffic, heat, dust, and towing, and a lot of Central Florida driving lands in that column. It doesn't move every interval up, but it does move a few, and we'll point out which ones apply to how you actually drive.
Can you set up a maintenance schedule for me?
Yes. We'll build it off your manufacturer's intervals and how you use the car, then keep it in your file so each visit picks up where the last one left off. You'll know what's coming next and roughly when, instead of finding out at the counter.
What happens if you find something during a maintenance visit?
We photograph it, send it to your phone, and tell you whether it needs doing now or can wait. Plenty of things can wait, and we'd rather say that than sell you a service you don't need yet. Nothing gets done without you saying yes to it first.
