girl smelling vents

If you’ve owned a vehicle long, particularly one with a few miles on it, you have probably encountered a peculiar smell that grabbed your attention.

Kermit’s Certified Transmission & Auto in Kingman has assembled this list to prepare for you for the next time you smell something odd, so you’ll know what’s going on next time you notice a funny smell.

If your transmission isn’t shifting correctly, you’ll want to be careful about how you choose to proceed.

At Kermit’s Certified Transmission & Auto in Kingman, AZ we can take a look at your issues and also give you some tips on what to do when that option isn't available yet.

At Kermit’s Certified Transmission & Auto in Kingman, AZ, we see our fair share of warning lights and dashboard notifications. If your ABS light is illuminated, here’s what you need to know.  First, it should be noted that the ABS light is supposed to illuminate for a few seconds after you turn the key, as part of a system test. If the light stays illuminated or comes on again randomly, there’s an issue somewhere that must be addressed.

How does it work, and what are those purposes?  Here at Kermit’s Certified Transmission & Auto in Kingman, AZ, we have those answers for you!
