Customer Profile - 2002 Dodge Intrepid

A customer brought in a 2002 Dodge Intrepid. The car was leaking from underneath its hood.

It turned out to be water. The car needed a new water pump. The old pump had a rubber ring inside it that had filled corrosion. Once the O ring had started to leak a little the pump started to corrode around it. It never fails, leaks only do one thing, get worse.

Soon the car was running smoothly, with no leaking problems in sight. After having to burp the cooling system quite a few times to get all the air pockets out of it I was happy to tell the customer that their car was ready and drip-free!

I had another problem with leaks a little while ago with a 1989 Toyota Camry. Except the car was leaking oil instead of water - a much messier situation! The inside of the car was coated in oil. I had to do some serious scrubbing before I could fix the problem, but I'm happy to report that his car wound up drip-free as well.

Customer Profile - 1990 Chevy Van 30

A customer brought in a Chevy Van "30", an older model. They told me the van wouldn't start. I ran some electrical testing to figure out what the problem was.

A Battery, Starting and Charging test revealed that the van needed a new starter. I ordered in the new part, replaced it, and now the engine would crank over but nothing wouldn't run.

Now that the engine was turning over I could do further diagnostics on the vehicle. I found that the distributor rotor had shorted out. I ordered a new one in, and the Chevy fired right up.

The customer was happy that the problem was solved. Sometimes more then one thing goes wrong with a vehicle at a time, the customer had a starter go out at the same time his vehicle died while going down the road due to his distributor rotor going out.
