If the vehicle is slow to start, or stay operating, it could be one of these to blame. Having a vehicle that is slow to start can eventually become worse over time. If you are not sure if the vehicle is in need of a new battery, make sure to schedule an appointment with us so we can inspect it for you.

You will also want to be aware if the ABS dashboard light illuminates as well. If the anti-lock brake system is not working properly or efficiently, it can lead to safety risks. Make sure to be aware of anything that is abnormal with your brakes for your vehicle. By noticing an issue, you can help prevent further problems from occurring when you stop. If the ABS light is blinking, you will want to stop your vehicle when it is safe to do so. Having the brakes inspected can help prevent further issues from occurring, like the brakes failing completely. We can check the brake pads and brake rotors to see if they are in need of a replacement. Having them replaced will help keep the brakes in the best condition.
