At My Auto Solutions is now UpFix in Buford, Georgia, we think it’s important to ask questions before any kind of car service. We encourage our Atlanta area and national customers to ask questions and understand what is happening to their vehicle or vehicle parts. Below we’ve listed a few questions commonly asked in our Buford workshop.
What are remanufactured parts?
Remanufactured parts are defective auto parts that are professionally rebuilt and restored to their factory settings. The skilled technicians at UpFix not only repair the worn out components, but they also replace obsolete elements and innovatively engineer automotive solutions. Using remanufactured parts is a form of recycling that saves customers money, and protects the environment.
Why is my ABS light on?
There are many reasons your ABS light might be on. It’s possible there is a fault in a wheel sensor, a fault in the pump motor, unit power loss, or missing sensor signals. At UpFix , we remanufacture ABS units to solve an array of problems.
What should I do if my ABS motor is always running?
The experienced technicians at UpFix in Buford recommend that you turn off a defective ABS unit as soon as possible. Letting the ABS unit continually run will burn out the motor and require a new unit to be purchased. To turn off the ABS unit, remove the ABS fuse and remove the entire abs unit from your car. Your vehicle will continue to run without the ABS, just use caution when breaking and protect the exposed hydraulic control unit with aluminum foil. UpFix can repair defective ABS units in our metro Atlanta area workshop.
Why don’t my headlights work?
If there is a defect in your Light Control Module (LCM), it can affect your horn as well. Atlanta area UpFix can remanufacture LCM units experiencing a wide range of light and horn issues.
Why is my airbag light on?
If you’ve been in an accident and your airbags deployed, then your airbag module needs to be replaced or reset. At UpFix we save you from an expensive airbag module replacement. We remanufacture airbag modules to their original factor settings in our Buford workshop.
What do I need to replace after my airbags deploy?
After your airbags deploy, you need to replace your airbags and reprogram or replace your airbag computer module. We recommend purchasing your airbags from a licensed airbag retailer and having a trained mechanic install them in your car. At UpFix in Buford, we reset airbag modules to their factory settings. Remanufactured airbag modules save you from costly dealership custom replacements.
Why is my seat belt locked?
When you’re in an accident and the seat belt keeps you buckled in your seat, sometimes the seat belt tensioner is triggered. Once the seat belt tensioner is triggered the unit needs to be replaced or rebuilt. At UpFix we provide a variety of remanufactured auto part services to help fix your locked seat belt.
Can you fix ripped or chewed seat belts?
Yes, at UpFix we provide many different remanufactured seat belt services, including seat belt webbing repairs.
Why won’t my car lights turn on?
If your car will turn on, but your head lights, tail lights, or turn signals don’t work, it could be an issue with your Light Control Module (LCM). First check that the issue isn’t cause by a burned out light bulb. If the car lights flicker, don’t turn on, or don’t flash like normal, UpFix can remanufacture the LCM unit to address the issue.
Do you adjust car mileage?
UpFix can adjust car mileage for customers with legitimate mileage issues. If your odometer is defective or getting your car jumped altered the mileage of your car, UpFix can help with mileage correction services. It is illegal to alter your car mileage and sell your car without revealing that information.
What do I do if my instrument cluster stops working?
If your instrument cluster stops working, you should remove the unit and send it in for repairs. Our technical videos section provides guidance from one of our technicians on the removal process.
