Looking for a reputable shop to look at my vehicle.

Any suggestions on a place I won't get hoodwinked?

Probably just a busted hose and / or thermostat but I'd like to have it all looked at to see if there are any other problems.

TIA

Place across from Lowe's, can't remember name.
They do a good job there and are honest and upfront and tell you everything you need without being too pushy to do it all at once. They do charge you for diagnostic though.

You cannot replace a hose on a car?

Be sure to tell the mechanic you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

Honesty is the best policy.

That is a lot of typing for a simple no.

Honest question, what more do you think could be wrong besides the coolant leak? Did you run it hot?

Well I personally use Diaz Tire on 42. I've had good experiences so far. They seemed like good ole baws and called me to give me options expressing which were probably the most affordable.

Radiator specific there's also Rouyea's Radiator Service over on 44. Used to use those baws back 10 years ago for issues I was having with a classic car.

Both experiences should be very casual. No sales people/upsale people on staff and shite like that.

Go see Garrett at Gonzales tire on airline next to the prairieville Walmart. I have used him for years and he is a very honest and reputable guy. Coincidently they replaced a radiator for me last November.

When I lived in Gonzales I would use the Gonzales Tire on Burnside. They were good people and had been around for a long time.
