2015 Honda Civic
Mileage95,310Service Date12/23/2024Services Performed- The issue with your vehicle not starting initially and displaying all dashboard warning lights is due to a low voltage condition in the battery. Upon inspection, the battery was found to be at 8.5 volts, which is significantly below the required voltage for proper operation. This indicates that the battery is likely failing, and it appears to be the original Honda battery, which may have reached the end of its service life. The alternator was tested and is functioning correctly, charging at 14.4 volts, so it is not contributing to the issue. We recommend replacing the battery to restore proper voltage levels and ensure reliable operation of the vehicle. Once the new battery is installed, all systems will need to be reset and calibrated to clear the warning lights and ensure everything functions as intended. Addressing this now will prevent further starting issues and potential damage to electronic systems caused by insufficient voltage.
- This Interstate Battery comes with a 2-year free replacement warranty. After the first two years, the warranty is prorated for an additional three years (up to 5 years total).

2017 Hyundai Santa Fe
Mileage47,274Service Date12/18/2024Services Performed- Engine oil level and condition okay. Unable to duplicate concern with fully warmed engine on 3 mile road test, on very steep streets (3600 block of State St and Columbia St), ascending and descending, as well as during exaggerated acceleration and braking (even on steep streets), and cornering. Oil pan was removed in October to replace the RTV gasket due to leaks. There are no leaks now but there is a concern some of the RTV cracked off inside getting stuck in the oil pickup tube. Oil pan was removed again to check to see if there was any debris inside and none was found. The gasket was covered under warranty. If the oil light persists it's believed to be an electrical issue and not for a mechanical fault.
- [W] DIAGNOSIS
- The light was found to be working normally. The light for the passenger seatbelt was on the center dash separate from the light for the driver seatbelt.
- OIL PAN &/OR GASKET – Remove & Replace – Lower

- Hazardous Waste Disposal Fee
- Duplicated some white smoke on engine start, that clears up within 5-10 seconds of engine running, but builds up with engine idling and is visible on an engine rev again. No engine management DTCs are present, and engine runs/idles smoothly/normally. Engine oil level correct (just serviced). Smoke is believed to be caused by internal oil consumption due to engine wear, most likely/mostly past valve stem seals. – – – Engine would need to be rebuilt to effectively/positively address the smoking concern. Advise just continue to keep driving vehicle as normal, keeping eye on engine oil level.

2006 BMW 325Ci
Mileage125,156Service Date12/10/2024Services Performed- The check engine light is on due to multiple diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) stored in the vehicle’s computer. The primary issue affecting engine performance is related to DTCs 2892, 27D2, and 2745, which all point to a failure in the ignition coil for cylinder #6. This malfunction is causing the engine to run rough. While all the ignition coils appear to have been replaced in November 2021, the #6 coil has failed and needs to be replaced to restore smooth engine operation. Unfortunately, the prior coil replacements are now outside the shop’s 2-year/24,000-mile warranty period. Replacing the faulty coil will clear the related DTCs and resolve the rough running condition. Additionally, DTCs 27C3 and 2774 are linked to an issue with the thermal oil level sensor. This fault was noted during a previous visit and is causing system alerts. The oil level sensor will need replacement during next oil service.
