Q: Why Is My Car's ABS Light On?
A: An Anti-Lock Braking System or ABS warning light on your dash indicates something in your car's ABS needs to be checked out by a qualified mechanic. Your ABS is one of your most important safety systems. Do not ignore this warning light. Common issues are:- Malfunctioning ABS module
- Low levels in the brake fluid reservoir

Q: Why does my car keep saying the coolant level is low?
A: If a low coolant warning light is on do not continue to drive and go directly to the auto repair shop. It is simple and often inexpensive to fix at Andersen's Foreign Car Service, LTD. Waiting to get the problem resolved can result in high-cost engine repairs. If the low coolant warning light continues to flash on, then there is a leak in the car's cooling system. Coolant fluid can leak in several ways. First, external leaks from radiator hoses, second, connections between hoses, or lastly, from the radiator itself. Your car's radiator cap may leak due to a faulty seal on the cap which can be easily resolved by a specialist at our shop in Golden.Q: How do I fix a persistent traction control warning light?
A: Normally, when the traction control light comes on while driving it indicates the car's traction control lost grip or traction going around a sharp curve or while driving on wet pavement. However, sometimes the traction control warning light will come on and stay on.
The best way to determine whether it was just a fluke or a real issue is to shut your vehicle off and turn it back on. If the light is off, then it was likely a temporary malfunction. If the light does not reset, come by Andersen's Foreign Car Service, LTD in Golden and let us fix it.

Professional and courteous staff Did a fantastic job with my car. I highly recommend them. Joshua Silverman, 09/21/2024 |
Highly recommend Anderson’s for any service, from oil changes to turbo replacements. I worked with them after getting a diagnosis of a faulty turbo from a dealership, and they helped me hone in the problem, discovered an error on the dealership’s part, and saved me several thousands of dollars in repair costs by doing so. They replaced the entire turbo assembly in my 2012 Audi Q5 quickly and expertly, and also performed an oil change and a cabin air filter change, all done with high-quality parts. Super friendly staff, very attentive and proactive when it comes to communication. I will be coming here in the future for all of my service or tune-up needs. Lillian Hanson, 09/16/2024 |
EXCELLENT SERVICE. After years of frustration with my Volvo XC90 dealership, I was referred to Anderson. They discovered my issues were covered under warranty, which the dealership had refused to honor. With Anderson's help, I was able to get the dealership to comply. I've since used Anderson for all my maintenance needs and couldn't be happiergreat service, communication, and prices. Scott Haerbig, 08/26/2024 |
