Mike OakleyGoogle
Great shop. I was afraid it was a transmission or transfer case problem. They checked it out and it was just a solenoid. While they were at it, they went over everything and pointed out a few items, some I knew about and others I did not. They provided a list with photos of the problems and are helping me handle each by priority.

That standard carries from electrical diagnosis and module programming to AC testing and routine repair. If you are deciding which mechanic in Lynchburg to hand the keys to, that standard is the answer.
