Had a vehicle come in today with a dead battery. Due to the the battery showing no signs of leaking acid or damage, a few extra checks were needed to verify that just the battery was bad and it was not a victim of a deeper problem. The most important was this battery draw test, performed after replacing the battery, which tested bad. This draw test measures how much battery current the vehicle is using and makes sure the vehicle is going to 'sleep' properly and not running the battery down. The result in the picture, after allowing the vehicle to sit for 30-ish minutes, is 0.010 amps, which is well within Ford's specification of less than 0.050 amps. Most vehicles will settle between 0.030 and 0.010 amps. Performing this check is good practice to prevent a repeat visit in a few days with another dead battery.

In the continuing effort to keep up with modern automotive repair, Craig's Automotive is excited to announce we've purchased a Mahle ACX2250 R-1234yf air conditioning service machine. R-1234yf, introduced in 2013, is the replacement A/C refrigerant for R-134a that's been in use since the late 1990's. If your car is less than 10 years old, it may have an A/C system that uses R-1234yf. Automakers started changing over to R-1234yf as they introduced new generations of vehicles, so the type of refrigerant used between 2013 and 2020 can vary by make and model. All vehicles manufactured for the 2021 model year and newer, are required to use R-1234yf.

After getting lucky at an equipment auction and completing some light reconditioning work/maintenance in my free time, I'm happy to announce Craig's Automotive can now resurface rotors and drums for cars, SUVs, and light trucks. With prices on brake rotors and drums approaching $90+ each, it seemed like a good idea to aquire a brake lathe for the shop to help keep brake replacement costs down when possible. It's recommended to either replace or resurface rotors and drums when replacing brake pads or shoes to avoid improper bedding-in of new brake pads and brake shoes to old friction surfaces, resulting in squealing/squeaking noises while braking. Many vehicle manufacturers are now using brake rotors and drums that are not robust enough to be resurfaced without making them too thin to use, but if the rotors or drums can be resurfaced and put back into service, it will be presented as an option.
