Default Shops in Merritt Island needed

Hello Forum,

I need to get some ideas for good shops in the Cocoa/Merritt Island area. My shops has had some problems and I need a new place.

Right now I am dealing with a stubborn coolant leak under the overflow tank area that will not go away. Plus a loud whine noise from the LR that goes along with wheel speed. I have already replaced the wheel brg and did not help. Could be tires or rear end? Need someone good to check into it.
Help with suggestions....

Can't help you with shops. My friend there had a C5 and he just used the local dealer with satisfaction.

If you remove the coolant tank I bet you will find out it is cracked. If not it might be a loose connection or bad hose. You should be able to find and fix that issue yourself.

That would not surprise me I had the tank replaced about 3-4 years ago at the dealer. If that is the case sounds like a design flaw.
