When To Call It Quits...

In this video I bring you along the process of diagnosing a customer complaint of surging and poor running on a Buick 3.8. In our shop I always give the full hour of time set aside to duplicate the customers complaint but at the end of my time if I can t get the car to act up I move on. I am curious to know what you do in your shop. What s you go to method? If an SMA Video has helped you out please consider giving using "Patreon" to help support us.
