I'm pretty worried because I think I still need a good mechanic for myself and my daughter and granddaughters also. There are several cars in my family and we all relied on Joe Pereira for 30 years, and we sure do miss him, as a good friend and as our mechanic.(02-24-2023, 02:38 AM)sistersue Wrote:Lovely. You could at least let him know via some sort of message delivery. Apparently you don't want to share with us your car model, check engine codes or issues. Good luck with the mechanic of your choice and please report back how it goes.(02-24-2023, 12:02 AM)terracore Wrote:(02-23-2023, 02:44 AM)sistersue Wrote:Terracore ~ I've heard from people - one of them that works for Mike, that he throws screaming fits and I don't want to subject myself to that.

As I said earlier, Mike told me my transmission is going out so I took the car to Transmission Technology and paid $235 just to be told my transmission is okay - the problem is in the engine. So I went back to Wally and he put in a new camshaft position sensor and I've been driving for two days and my car has finally stopped surging and choking. I'm now not afraid to drive to Hilo, and am happy with the way the car is acting. BUT the problem is now that Wally just installed a camshaft position sensor a year ago. He charged me $177. this time and about the same a year ago. I mentioned this to him and he said he didn't remember. Any ideas on what I should do? Thanks again for all your help.
