Even "leaks" is not the real story...how much it leaks will determine how soon it needs to replaced. A better tech would have written "slight leak", "leaking badly", "leak forming", etc. Again, I think it's a bit of a reach to assume that you are not safe just because the tech noted a leak. But, if you're not happy with how the advisers treat you then take your business elsewhere, not sure what you;re looking for here.
Well...in the past... some retired techs have pointed out things to look for and have advised to check things out a bit further.. or get a second opinion. You've given me a lot more information than I got at the dealership. I didn't assume I wasn't safe... I just didn't assume that I was because of lack of information.
In other states I've had some really outstanding techs who have thoroughly explained issues and have said "fix it now" or this can wait and we'll just watch it.
You said it though.. a better tech would have described it. And, I guess that's what I want in the future. A better tech. I haven't been impressed with this place for awhile now... so maybe it's time for me to move on to a different dealer.
But...thank you for explaining a bit more about the leak. I've had no problems at all with the steering..no noise, no vibrations.. no visible leaks on the garage floor.. this truck doesn't leak anywhere. Seriously... nothing is dripping anywhere.
thanks
