This is a mechanic with ethics and should be celebrated for the hero he is.he also showed me the pile of new seals, gaskets, o-rings and bolts. He said he replaces everything that he touches—even adds some things not on the list, like the front main seal and the serpentine belt. Why not, if you gotta take all that stuff off anyway?
The only thing I had to ask for was a new water pump.
Also, good move on the water pump.
