Bruce Bekkerus from A1 Automotive is our expert on “The Mechanic Is In”.
A few tidbits from this episode:
…A rolling “squeal” stops when you hit the brakes? Bruce said, no doubt about it,
“it’s the brakes”. Walk along side the car to hear where the problem is coming from.
…A leak on a 2012 Traverse… how serious is this? Is it urgent? … Bruce says, “If you aren’t seeing a spot on the garage floor… it might not be as serious.”
…How do you keep mice away? Bruce says he’s not sold on dryer sheets… there are “mice hotels” (black plastic boxes) where you can buy to put pellets inside – put those around the car and if you can, put pellets in the car or underneath so they eat those and not their favorite thing: wires. “It’s insane how much damage mice can do to a car…”
…How important is a transmission flush? Bruce says, “Not very important at all… tranny flushes are an operation that the factory rarely recommends…”
