QUESTION:

Had my brakes done 3 weeks ago on my 1997 Buick, told mechanic that I had to completely press petal to floor before the brakes would grab. He told me it was because he had to change my break fluid. Then the other day I was on my way home and went to use my brakes and all I heard was air whooshing I kept hitting the brake and thats all I heard. What happened?

ANSWER:

Your brake booster and master cylinder are bad. Replace them both together, as a unit. Then you will be fine.

air conditioner is on it blows “mist” through the vents

Question:

I have a 1996 Buick Regal custom. When the air conditioner is on it blows “mist” through the vents, and when I turn the car off and look under the car, there is no puddle of water under the car from the A.C., whats wrong?

Answer:

The drain vent is clogged up , it is sometimes difficult to access it , it comes through the firewall and generally you need to be under the vehicle..most any shop should be able to clear this for you in short time …easiest to do on a hoist
