Does anyone know of an honest, quick, reliable, and cheap garage in Raleigh?
My car leaked all it's radiator fluid out in about 5 minutes in the Food Lion parking lot last night, and I need to find a place to take it to that won't screw me over. 9/18/2005 6:09:34 PM |

fill it up with distilled water, run the engine, dump an egg in there, if its a small hole, its temp fixed 9/18/2005 6:11:40 PM |

^ Thanks for the tip for the temporary solution.
Do you know of any good cheap garage that will look it over and not screw me over? I have an idea that it's a small, easy-to-fix problem. 9/18/2005 6:13:05 PM |

if it's small and easy to fix, then i say do it yourself
it might be a small crack in the radiator (seal it with epoxy) or patch up/get new hoses 9/18/2005 6:14:58 PM |

In order to do that, would I have to jack the car up?

depends, fill it with water and see if you can figure out where the water is leaking from... you may need to get under it to tell but its possible it'll be something completely obvious that you could fix (i.e. hose busted or leaking or something) 9/18/2005 6:35:52 PM |
