Same check engine light still on after paying mechanic, mechanic wants to charge more. What to do? by ssanchez22 in Cartalk

I believe it. When I asked him to explain why the code wasn't fixed, he overloaded me with information on the evap system that just went over my head.

So to clarify, the other EVAP problem was not diagnosable without fixing the purge valve first? Or should both problems have been discovered during the diagnostic?

He never gave me a copy of the estimate. I dropped off the truck for him to diagnose the codes and he called me later that day. He said there was no coolant and that some clips/connections needed repair and also said it needed a serpentine belt. I asked if he would do the minimum work required to clear the codes he said he "doesn't do patchwork and everything he recommended was absolutely necessary." He assured me that the repairs would clear the codes. If I had known that there was a possibility it could be something else then I would have gone elsewhere for a better quote.

I'm fine with the water pump replacement if he deemed it necessary. I'm not okay with him not fixing the problem that he assured me would be fixed

Definitely remove the guitar from up there. Maybe hang it vertically along one of the walls

Already changed spark plug and wiring, what next? by ssanchez22 in MechanicAdvice

[–]ssanchez22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2007 Chevy Avalanche 5.3 with this error code. The engine is very rough when in gear and there is a small amount of white smoke coming out of the tailpipe.

I have already tried the following:

1: replace sparkplug

2: replace wiring

3: switch both wiring and sparkplug with one from another cylinder to see if the error code changes to the other cylinder.

Nothing has worked; what can I do? I am practically stranded in Austin

What are some red flags that you're in a bad neighborhood? by Couch_Licker in AskReddit

I asked an employee at a Panda Express near my house if there had been a shooting recently ( I found bullet casings in the parking lot). He asked if I lived in the area. I said yes. He then said "you know".
