It doesn't matter if you are driving a car or truck, jeep or SUV, a diesel 4x4 or a classic when those dash warning lights go off the first thing you do is think "how bad is it?" and "how much will it cost me?" followed quickly by "when was my last service visit?"!! Driving your vehicle longer safely is all about getting it serviced based on what your vehicle manual recommends and these warning lights are alerting you to a situation that requires your attention.
While not all warning lights are a sign that disaster is imminent, no warning indicator light should ever be ignored!
There is a reason we check your brake fluid when you come in for a service check. Maintenance pays big dividends and we want to avoid high repair costs for our Merced drivers. Did you know that brake service isn't just all about the brake pads, drums & rotors? That we have found low brake fluid to be the cause of a large percentage of brake issues here at Super Shop Automotive? Seriously, brake fluid is an important part of your braking system and with your service intervals being less frequent on the newer vehicles 5,000-10,000 more miles this has become an issue! Why?...

I give Super Shop Automotive 5 stars! The shop is very clean, and the staff is very professional. - Kevin R. (5 star review on Google)
A great big thumbs up to Andy and Benny for making my experience at the Merced Super Shops a positive experience and a happy ending to my worries and phobias, about leaving my beloved '57 Bel Air anywhere I can't watch it like a hawk. The shop did exactly what I asked them to do, and I couldn't be happier with the work and careful scrutiny the shop provided for me. Perhaps the best part was the price they charged me for a huge front end suspension rebuild, which made my day. If you are looking for a reputable hot rod shop, or any repair facility I highly recommend Super Shops! - Rachel H. (5 star review on Yelp)
