Midas Tacoma

I had some radiator hoses replaced at another national repair shop.  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.
