Zacks Mobile Mechanic

It’s been a little bit since my last post but here is a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze. Client asked for me to do a tune up and to try and figure out why car is misfiring and sounding very sluggish. I did an oil change, replaced windshield wipers, changed spark plugs, changed the cabin airfilter and engine airfilter, replaced the serpentine belt and also cleaned the ignition coil and found a couple of oil leaks. After my client drove her vehicle around for a week a chirping noise started to emit from the engine compartment while also sounding like the whole engine is sucking in air. I ended up changing out the valve cover gasket and valve cover which holds Chevrolets weird version of a pcv valve and unfortunately the only way to change it is to change the whole valve cover. Luckily I’m able to bypass the ridiculous $180 + my client should of had to pay at a regular car parts store and was able to find one almost three quarters difference in price. Always have someone who knows what to look for with you when considering or buying a vehicle from a pre owned dealership and always ask for the car fax.
