2013 RAM 1500
Mileage114,035Service Date1/14/2026Services Performed- CUSTOMER REQUESTS – CHECK AND ADVISE, DIFFERENTIALS, AND KEY FOB NOT UNLOCKING VEHICLE
- FOUND:CUSTOMER COMPLAINT: The customer reports that the alarm remote control is not functioning and mentions a noise coming from underneath the vehicle, suspecting a differential issue. DIAGNOSTIC FINDINGS: REMOTE ACCESS SYSTEM: The remote control was confirmed to be non-operational. Upon physical inspection, it was determined that the internal circuit board has permanent damage. The vehicle's receiver system was tested with a shop master remote and is functioning correctly. Action: Replace and program a new remote control. ENGINE NOISE (EXHAUST MANIFOLDS): Broken bolts were identified on the exhaust manifolds on both sides of the engine. This causes an exhaust leak that generates a rhythmic ticking noise, which is often mistaken for valve train noise. Action: Extract the broken bolts and reinstall manifolds with new gaskets. DRIVETRAIN NOISE (REAR DIFFERENTIAL): A damaged internal rear differential bearing was detected. The noise from this bearing is transmitted and amplified through the driveshaft, causing the sound to be perceived with greater intensity throughout the vehicle. Action: Rebuild the differential (replace bearings) or replace the entire unit depending on the condition of the internal gears.

2004 Mercedes-Benz C230
Mileage179,000Service Date1/26/2026Services Performed- CUSTOMER REQUESTS – CHECK AND ADVISE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT
- FOUND:Diagnostic and Service Summary 1. Seating System (Interior): Finding: Confirmed loose/fallen springs at the base of the seat. Root Cause: The rubber retainers that act as structural supports have degraded and crystallized due to age, breaking into pieces and leaving the springs without tension or support. Status: Replacement of the seat support retainers is required. 2. Engine Management (Check Engine Light): Initial Diagnosis: Fault codes related to the Secondary Air Injection (AIR) System were identified. Repair Performed: Found cracked and degraded vacuum hoses located above the valve cover and beneath the plastic engine cover. These hoses were repaired, and subsequent testing confirmed the Secondary Air Injection system is now fully operational. New Finding: During the post-repair road test, the vehicle’s computer triggered new codes for a "Lean Condition" (Poor Mixture). After sealing the initial vacuum leaks, the system is now detecting unmetered air or a fuel delivery deficiency in another area. 3. Vehicle Release Status: Pending: Diagnosis of the "Lean Condition" requires additional diagnostic time for pressure, flow, and vacuum leak testing. Customer Decision: The customer did not authorize the additional time required to complete the diagnosis and elected to take the vehicle. Disclaimer: The vehicle is being released with the Check Engine Light ON due to the lean mixture fault. This condition may result in poor fuel economy, reduced engine performance, and potential long-term damage if not addressed.

2015 GMC Terrain
Mileage121,013Service Date1/22/2026Services Performed- CUSTOMER REQUESTS – CHECK AND ADVISE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNING ON
- FOUND:Diagnostic Summary: Secondary Air Injection System Symptom: The vehicle was brought in with the Check Engine Light illuminated and fault codes related to secondary air system performance (e.g., P0410, P0411). Inspection Process: A detailed inspection of critical components was performed, including vacuum lines, air ducts, check valves, and the electric air pump. The electrical circuit (wiring and relays) was tested for continuity and voltage, confirming it is in good working condition. Findings: The secondary air pump has failed due to internal water intrusion, which caused an internal short circuit. This failure typically occurs when moisture or exhaust condensation bypasses the check valves and enters the pump. Required Action: Replacement of the secondary air pump is necessary. Since the fault is localized, no additional repairs to the vehicle's wiring harness are required at this time.

2023 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
Mileage28,886Service Date1/6/2026Services Performed- FOUND:Customer Complaint: Noise when braking. Technical Findings: Remaining Lifespan: Front brake pads have a thickness greater than 6 mm and the rear pads are over 7 mm, which indicates they still have friction material remaining. Cause of Noise: The system experienced overheating. This has caused the surface of both the rotors (discs) and the pads to glaze (crystallize), removing the necessary porosity for quiet, efficient braking. Recommendations: Minimum Service: Resurfacing (machining/turning) the rotors and replacing the brake pads to eliminate the glazed layer. Optimal Recommendation (Standard Warranty): Full replacement of both rotors and pads to ensure maximum performance and completely eliminate the recurrence of the noise.
