This is what happens when you have your complete exhaust system replaced (catalytic converters to muffler and all the sensors) and they don't plug the built in body fastener to the frame. #

Anyone can turn a wrench, but not everyone is focused on . Sometimes, you are required to to save you from breaking the electrical connectors and evap lines. Usually, the customer is not going to know something is broken until they have a breakdown or a check engine light.

What I love about is that from 1 day to the next, the job is different. Sometimes, you have to think outside the box to find a way to

Proper diagnosis is key, I was called out to replace the water pump and thermostat on a 2012 Chevy Camaro 3.6l, and the actual leak was from the water outlet down to the water pump 😳. But pulling the thermostat showed me that replacing the water pump is smart since all other cooling system components other than the radiator are new. So if you want someone to and has good communication skills, you know who to call.

Another day and more Chevy Silverado seat covers. One thing I've learned is that no 2 seat covers are the same. The Silverado has a plastic rail that locks into plastic clips in the foam.

The key to a company keeping their fleet on the road is preventive maintenance, even on your personal vehicle. This is something that seems to be expensive initially, but ultimately saves you a great deal.

I specialize in electrical diagnostics, but also do a great deal of other repairs.

Never know what adventures lie ahead unless you take the leap. I because I never know just what might need to be repaired. Much respect to anyone who does nothing easy about replacing seat covers. Every vehicle has a different way it secures to the foam. This is velcro, Silverado has plastic clips mounted in the foam, Ford Transit has rings/staples.

Walking through the yard after repairing another truck I noticed a couple of drops on the ground on the drivers side. So, me being me, I had to look in the drivers wheel well and saw it was wet. Got the keys to the truck and found the truck had oil mixed with coolant. Finding issues like this is the key to preventive maintenance.
