Video: Have You Checked The Monitors?

Babcox Media’s Andrew Markel explains the importance of checking the dashboard for malfunction lights when a vehicle is brought in for service.

When a service writer or technician pulls a vehicle into your dealership to write down the mileage, they need to take an extra step and look at the dashboard to make note of any malfunction lights.

The majority of vehicles that come through your shop have different menus, or condition-based monitors, that show the vehicle’s oil life, filter life and more.

In this video, Babcox Media’s Andrew Markel walks through the importance of doing these things to spot a repair sooner.
