Joe's Garage LLC
Saved again by the folks at Joe's. The car appeared to run great, had power, ABS brakes, but, unfortunately, because I was ready to buy it, it had a blown head gasket. I could have done an additional engine block pressure test, but Spencer and Evan, who could have easily convinced me to have the test performed, said it was not necessary: jump smell the coolant reservoir, and yes, there was a burned hydrocarbon smell of oil that had leaked into the coolant system. This was the second car they put the kibosh on, so they said the next test(and I will definitely keep trying, and will bring it to Joe's) was on the house.
