Merry Christmas from the team over at DC AUTOFIRM. Without you guys none of this would be possible.

This week, the 2008 Subaru Legacy was brought into the shop for an oil change and to address inoperative license plate light bulbs. During our complimentary multi-point inspection, we identified additional maintenance needs, including front brake pads and rotors, as well as a brake fluid service.

License Plate Lights:

The new bulbs were installed, but the lights remained inoperative.
Further inspection revealed broken wires in the vehicle’s tailgate harness, which was the root cause of the issue.
Brakes:

2024 Ford Maverick in the shop this past week. Customer reached out to us regarding the fact that Ford doesn’t offer foglights for these trucks and asked what we could do and we knew just the product this truck needed. Elite Series Add On Fog Lamp Kit. This is so clean you would think it came from the factory and performs even better. It runs as if it’s from factory utilizing the automatic light function while also having its own toggle switch to turn on and off. All backed by an impressive 8 year warranty!
