We here at Oliverian Automotive were made aware earlier this week of the shortage of synthetic oils which, unfortunately, the industry is seeing today. Most after-market supply shops and dealerships are being faced with short or no supply in their New England warehouses. In addition, we have already seen prices increase, and we are expecting them to increase up to 30%.

We were pro-active first thing Monday morning and we have been able to increase our inventory to hopefully off set the initial impact of this shortage. We want to ensure our customers that we are here for them and hopefully Oliverian Automotive is in a position where this will not impact our level of service to our customers.

Even if the war with Iran ends tomorrow, we'll be feeling the impact at the l**e shop for quite some time.

This is why you should not guess when it comes to your vehicle. Instead, pay to have a qualified facility/individual that has solid testing and diagnostic skills look at your vehicle so wasteful money and part are not thrown at a problem. This GM vehicle with a 2.0 Turbo came in with new parts (new coils,spark plugs, a new Mass air flow sensor) this could not have been cheap and absolutely could have been avoided. We'll keep it simple so here it goes. We could see the issue was in Cylinder 2 and the misfire was not always constant but it was the only Cylinder in the PCM's history. We pull up a wiring diagram and proceed to test powers and grounds which test solid. Then with a scope we look for the control signal from the PCM to the coil and that's when we see an issue. The blue trace is cylinder two and the red trace is cylinder one. We should be seeing somewhere around a 5 volt square wave but as you can see on cylinder two we're seeing roughly half and it definitely is not a square wave. We reviewed technical service bulletins (TSB's) and found one where coolant or fluids enter the wiring harness and make their way to the pcm. Once we made our way to the PCM we found the issue. Now the TSB states to replace the PCM and corroded pins. We promptly got the customer involved and gave them some options. We all agreed to clean the pins on the PCM and harness to get them back on the road as time was of the importance. They know life expectancy is unknown but they wanted time to think how far they wanted to go as we really needed to try and find the reason it happened in the first place. Well once everything was cleaned up and reassembled the car ran great we put about twenty miles on it and released it back to the customer so they could decide what they wanted to do. The last picture is after the repair and the signals are where they should be. Thank you all for reading this hopefully we didn't bore you and please think about the service members we lost on this Memorial Day weekend. Remember test dont guess!!

Showing the next generation what the future holds. Using aftermarket and OEM tooling I'm explaining to Ryan about ADAS and how it effects everyday driving if it is not done correctly. We're setting up to do this Honda and letting him see how it's done and how to look up service information to decipher any code's that may be stored.

This vehicle is a 2025 not a 2023. The customer said all they tried to do was replace their Brake Pads and Rotors and when they started the vehicle and road test it this happened immediately. We understand that in these difficult time's we're in that everyone is trying to save money but sometimes it pays to have a professional do the work or at least give you a second opinion. Thank you! The customer left their old Pads and rotors in the vehicle and they did not need replacement to begin with.

This information is geared to our non automotive customer's and friends. Today's vehicle's can put you on the side of the road for various reasons but many do not realize that corrosion in a circuit can put your vehicle into a default (limp home mode). This in simple terms means it puts your vehicle into a forced idle without any prior warnings. You're simply driving along and the next thing you know your vehicle's dash is lit up and you're coasting to the side of the road as is what happened to this vehicle. The problem was corrosion in the connector and into the pins of the front Radar. This piece of equipment is for the Adaptive Cruise Control and is what keeps you at a pre determined safe distance to the vehicle in front of you when the cruise control is set. It's located behind the front bumper and when replaced also needs to be calibrated dynamically using the proper tooling. The electrical aspect of today's vehicle's is extraordinary and requires constant training and tooling. We at Oliverian Automotive constantly train and reinvest to make sure our customer's have access to all of the latest technology your vehicle is equipped with. Thank you!!

At our Meredith store a customer came to us with a dipstick tube rotted off, they were told by another facility that the engine had to be removed to get the dipstick tube out. The job isn’t easy on a rusted up plow truck but our technician knocked it out and replaced the exhaust manifold while they were in the area. Being up front with our customers has always been the only way for Sean and Kim to run their company.
