Default South Cali mechanic???

Looking for a mechanic in the Irvine area. My GTO has been overheating.

Thanks ahead of time.

Try swapping your t-stat and rad cap out with new ones. If you're car has a sh*t ton of miles, new water pump if you got the cash to do so and you'll sleep better at night

Might as well replace the fans, head gaskets(just invade they are broken), heater core(just in case it's broken), and radiator (just in case it's plugged).

On a serious note, just get it diagnosed and have someone that knows what they are doing check it properly. Just putting parts you don't need will make you spend unnecessary cash and probably make the problem worse.

Now onto the rearend .. It's been chattering.. I put new fluid in it still chatters
