Replaced rear brakes
Glad to have my brakes replaced but noticed that they are still squealing when I apply my brakes. Will that go away soon?

Check Engine light was on and flashing. Called on Monday, got me in on Wednesday, and fixed on Thursday.
Had an issue with the check engine light flashing and rough idling, and loss of power. Called on Monday to see when they could get me in, and they said they could on Wednesday. Called later that day explaining the situation and what needed to be done, and I agreed to what needed to be done. They had it all done and ready to be picked up on Thursday.

tire sensor replacement
have a 2017 buick envision that i have been happy with had an issue with a tire saying was low/---- got this changed on the same side back sensor as well per my instructions in order to save money decided only to do the one side at that time. ARS granted my request and told me to watch for this to happen with the other side . To my disapointment i got the same error message on other side not changed a few months later. got right in. used the loaner car option. was so happy to be able drive home with this loaner car and not wait for a driver to take me home and then pick me up to get my fixed car. THANKS ARS for a job well done and the loaner vehicle .😀

remaining anonymous just because if i would have just changed all sensors on my first vist i could have saved myself some grief and embarass myself for being cheep. 🙄
