Coolent leak on this chevy cruze. Ended up being a small crack in the coolent reservoir. Thankfully the local parts store had one in stock. Also replaced the battery as it has been sitting for a while and did not hold a charge. Made sure to do a pressure test to confirm that this was the only leak, also test drove it before hand to make sure the thurmastat was good.

Just did the front brakes (pads and rotors) on this cx-9. The top caliper bolt/slide (its one piece on this car) was siezed. Probably was not lubricated last brake job. Told the owner there is a 50/50 chance it will come out or snap in the bracket, otherwise you will need at least a new caliper bracket. Thanfully with a bit of penitrating oil and moving the stubby forward and reverse, I was able to get it out in one piece.

Replaced a serpentine belt and tensioner today and oil filter cap gasket on gl320 cdi. Stupid difficult to get parts the same day but was able to get the tensioner within a few hours. What had happend was that the oil filter cap started leaking onto the belt at about a quart per 1k miles since last oil change (someone did not lubricate it before install) and the belt slipped off. Thankfully the belt flew off cause if it didn't and the customer kept driving, there would be no oil by the time his next oil change is due and he probably would have need a new engine.
