If you are a/know of a certified mechanic looking to trade, I'm yours!! No parts needed at this time, but I DO need one who's mobile, STAT, with his own tools.
Pontiac. My car needs immediate attention. Have a 1 c garage to work in with a large, powerful fan, but must be discreet and quiet, as this is against HOA rules (night time is the best way to get around this).
Contact me for specific year and make.
Right now I have a new oil pan installed with a leaky gasket (and this mechanic no longer works for me... CERTIFIED MECHANICS ONLY!). I have a new gasket, 4 qts of synthetic, a new filter. Drained the oil, but can't get the oil pressure sensor off the oil pan in order to remove the pan and install new gasket (yes, I am doing this work myself, but lack the proper tool to remove this sensor). Have RTC to keep the new gasket in place for exact alignment, though not recommended with this particular rubber gasket (best method = Fel Pro Snap-Up clips for around $6, but I'm immobile at present). Also, I don't have the proper jack stands to raise the car enough... I barely fit under there with mobility to work currently, and my car IS sitting, jacked up (front end sits too low to utilize the drive-up ramps I had intended to use). SOMEONE PLEASE HELP BEFORE HOA CITES ME! Thanks.
The list DOES NOT stop here, but this requires immediate attention. Once I get oil back into the vehicle (that WON'T leak all over my garage floor!), then I can come to you for further repairs/maintenance.
So if you or a certified mobile mechanic you know can conquer this task immediately, please PM me here. THANK YOU!
