What we see on this vehicle

What we see on the Express and GMC Savana

Tick at cold start that fades

The gas V8s in these vans are known for broken exhaust manifold bolts. It ticks when cold and quiets as it warms. Left alone, the leak gets louder and the gasket burns out.

Exhaust repair

Harsh shifts or loss of power

GM recalled 2022 and 2023 Express and Savana vans because the wrong transmission control software can cause harsh shifts, reduced power or rear wheel lockup (NHTSA 24V839). We check for open recalls first, then scan the transmission for anything else.

Transmission diagnostics

Rear AC weak or acting up

GM recalled some 2016 to 2018 vans with a manual rear climate control because the control module can overheat after a short (NHTSA 18V655). Passenger vans also run long AC lines to the rear unit, so we check those for leaks.

AC repair

Driver window switch working only sometimes

GM recalled 2014 to 2017 vans because liquid can get into the driver's power window switch and corrode it (NHTSA 18V295). We check your VIN and test the switch and wiring.

Electrical repair

Loose or wandering steering

A heavy van carrying a full load every day wears its ball joints, tie rods and idler arm. We check the front end on every visit, because worn parts also eat tires.

Suspension repair

Staying on a service schedule

Vans that miss oil changes and inspections break down on route. We set a schedule for each van and keep its service history.
