Check to see if the water pump is leaking out of the weep hole. It's there to show you if the water pump bearings are failing. You could also burp the coolant system to try and check for air pockets. The best thing you could do is start doing all of the work yourself so you don't have to worry about other people ******* up your stuff and save a lot of money.
