Software updates and ensuring the intercooler/hoses are leak-free can help. In many cases, a transmission control module (TCM) reflash or software update smooths out shifts. Possible Causes & Fixes Transmission Control Software: Software calibrations can sometimes fix the abrupt shifts, especially on earlier model year SUVs.
Suspension and Tire Wear Due to the sporty nature of the Subaru BRZ, suspension issues, alignment troubles, and uneven tire wear are common. Regular tirerotations, alignments, and suspension checks can significantly prolong the life of your tires and maintain the vehicle’s precise handling.
Software Glitches Phantom Braking: One of the more frequent Autopilot issues is phantom braking, where the car abruptly slows down due to a perceived hazard that doesn’t exist. Regular alignments and tirerotations can extend tire life. Although these don’t usually affect functionality, they are annoying.
Integrating telematics with fleet management software provides a powerful tool for scheduling and tracking maintenance. This calendar should incorporate both regular tasks, like oil changes, tirerotations, and brake inspections, and seasonal considerations, such as winterization and summer preparations.
Send emails or postcards reminding them that their adventurous trips have put miles on their tires and wear on their vehicles. Encourage them to make an appointment for tirerotations, oil changes, and brake checks. Make follow-up calls to past customers.
Small screens, slow processors and even clunky software can be hinderance during service. Let’s see what it can do on this vehicle for regularly scheduled maintenance, including a tirerotation, oil change and new rear brake pads. The software offers almost 40 service and maintenance tasks. But, there is something better.
Uneven or incorrect tire size: The VDC system depends on uniform tirerotation to monitor traction. A mismatched or worn tire can throw off wheel speed readings, and the system will deactivate itself to avoid making incorrect adjustments. Update or reprogram ABS software if a software glitch is causing system malfunction.
Software Updates: Ford has released technical service bulletins (TSBs) regarding these transmission issues, which can be controlled by software. Possible Causes & Fixes Wheel & Tire Checks: Regular tirerotations and balancing help maintain a smooth ride.
To ensure you’re covering costs and turning a profit: Set appropriate hourly rates Monitor technician productivity using software Regularly assess job times Consulting with auto repair shop consultants can help optimize your labor rates and streamline efficiency. This creates a win-win situation for both you and the customer.
Some key routine maintenance tasks for luxury vehicles include oil changes, tirerotations, brake inspections, and battery checks. Technicians with experience in luxury car electronics can identify potential problems early, from replacing faulty sensors to updating software.

Our software quickly identifies the highest-potential prospects and what would motivate them to sign up. Make it easier for them to get service notifications that make sense to them and offer potential savings.
Maybe it’s time to adopt new inventory management software or upgrade your shop’s equipment to reduce downtime. Adding new services like tirerotations, alignment checks, or even detailing services can increase your shop’s appeal. Streamline Operations: Look for inefficiencies in your workflow.
Route optimization software utilizes advanced algorithms to calculate the most efficient routes based on factors such as traffic patterns, delivery schedules, and vehicle capacity. Regular preventive maintenance, such as oil changes, tirerotations, and inspections, helps prevent breakdowns and costly repairs.
Rather than adjusting suspension components mechanically, the system uses sensors, software, and a central chassis control module. Software Issues If the software in your vehicle’s chassis control module or other electronic control modules is outdated or corrupted, it can cause the chassis control system to misinterpret data.
Is a sensor battery dead, or was it not relearned correctly the last time a vehicle had its tiresrotated, or is there a TPMS module problem? Software updates, which are free for the life of the tool, can be easily downloaded via Wi-FI; no PC is required.
However, as is the case with many new vehicles and brands, owners have reported some common issues on the Rivian R1T that should be addressed: Reliability Issues Software Glitches: Some owners have experienced problems with the infotainment system, including freezing screens and errors during updates.
