Brought in my 2011 Chevy Equinox with a 2.4 ecotech engine. After learning this engine is prone to failure pertaining to timing chain issues, Intake manifold internal pvc port plugging up causing rear main seal failures and excessive oil usage. I brought it to Johnson Auto. Not only did they do a a complete evaluation of my vehicle they kept me posted of everything they found. All said and done...My timing chain was worn (Which I could hear myself with engine running) my internal intake pvc port hole (GM more intelligent design) was completely plugged. (More than likely my excessive oil usage) was cleaned out, new timing chain installed along with coolant flushed/filled, oil/filter changed and serpentine belt replaced all within 2-1/2 days. During the process there was no surprises, everything was explained fully and all questions were answered. Highly recommend and they also give a discount for veterans. Thank you Johnson Auto.
