However, I began losing coolant and took the car back twice. The first time I was told that the reason was that there was an air bubble in the line. The second time I was told that the radiator leaked and a new one would cost just over $450. The car was not put on a lift to check for leaks. There was no pressure check. The evaluation was based on a few snail trails of dried coolant around the radiator cap. I took my car to Midas on Gravelly Lake Drive in Lakewood, WA for a second opinion. The car was placed on a lift twice. They did a pressure check and told me that if there was, in fact, a leak the pressure check would identify the location. Eric came into the waiting room, and I expected him to confirm the need to replace the radiator. He said he would be happy to replace it, but thought that a new radiator cap would resolve my problem. I bought a $10 radiator cap and haven't lost a drop of coolant in the three weeks since I visited Midas. What a pleasant experience dealing with an honest repair shop. You can be assured that my future automotive needs will be taken to this Midas dealer.

I took it to AIR and they looked it over really well. They gave me a long list and explained what needed to be done now and what should be done soon. Its back on the road and I'm saving up for the rest. I like the way they took the time to explain the maintenance and repair necessary It took some time to repair, but I like that they got it done right.

They came highly recommended from a friend of mine who builds race cars, and after dealing with them I know why. They are honest, very informative, knowledgable and have good prices. I would recommend them to anyone rebuilding a classic car. Especially a 1954 Buick!
