The customer had spent significant money at multiple mechanics—including a dealership—yet still experienced a gas smell and overheating issues. I reviewed several months of repair receipts and diagnostic reports to identify where the previous mechanics had failed. I determined that the shops had taken a "scenic route" by performing expensive, secondary repairs (like multiple valve cover gaskets and manifold replacements) while ignoring the most likely primary causes. I provided a clear roadmap for the customer, identifying the catalytic converter as the source of the gas smell and a clogged radiator as the cause of the overheating. To prevent further unnecessary spending, I recommended the customer purchase a personal OBD-II scanner for independent verification and suggested sourcing parts via RockAuto to reduce future repair costs.

Provided a technical consultation and repair history audit for a 2013 Honda Crosstour to diagnose persistent gas smells, overheating, and recurring "check engine" lights after multiple failed repair attempts by local shops.

Client requested sourcing of lower control arms, brake shoes, and a window motor for a 2011 Nissan Note. The service fee was $40 for research. The primary goal was to find the cheapest total price, including high international shipping costs to Antigua and Barbuda, from suppliers like Partsouq, eBay, and Amayama. The service also clarified the part requirement (brake shoes vs. brake pads) before final delivery.

Sourced and researched the cheapest, reliable options for specific 2011 Nissan Note parts (control arms, brake shoes, window motor) for delivery to Antigua and Barbuda.
