Advanced Automotive

What a month , one diagnostic nightmare after another.We get these every once in a while where a customer has worked on it and replaced a dozen parts and then tows it in.Where do u begin?We recently got a 2011 Chev Traverse and by the way , a piece of advice steer clear of these cars, they are plagued with issues.Dont take my word for it just look on line.But anyway another shop had apparently replaced the engine 3 times since last april.No power ,runs on half the engine,broken wires ,bad fuel pump,missing bolts,blowing fuses,burnt relays.Fixed 3 codes,3 more pop up.Had it a month.Now starts and runs sort of ok but not right.got it down to 1 code and we are closing in fast but I got to tell u.Im tired of looking st this car.I feel for the customer,because it's not there fault.Chevrolet designed a piece of crap.Even the dealer said it's one of the most common trouble car or drivetrain that they deal with.Anyway it comes with the territory.This is Bob signing off with a last comment.If u see a traverse!Run!!!!lol.

Oh good the week is over.Im feeling my age.im sore and tired,but we got alot done.But it feels good to see that I can still get it done and I think a lot of my customers , and some that have been with me for 20 plus years are glad to see me back in the shop.After all it was just me and lisa for several years before I hired my first employee. BILL!Have a good weekend everyone
