I recently moved to Camden County, NJ (Pennsauken) and have no idea where to take my 1999 Cadillac Deville for repairs. I have a coolant leak in the right front of my car and was hoping you might be able to recommend a good Cadillac Mechanic in my area. I was getting an oil change today and they noticed a constant drip to the front and a little inside of the right front tire. It is pretty bad because I only drove 3 miles back to my apartment and the "Check Coolant Level" message appeared on the dash. Thanks for any recommendations.

Im sorry I cant help you with a garage in your area, but I may be able to help with your issue. It sounds like your radiator is leaking at the passenger side bowl. The radiator is hidden under a bunch of trim in this car, so it will 1st need to be removed to verify the leak. Its possible a radiator hose is leaking. Be glad its on the passenger side. Its cheaper! Cadillac runs there waterpump on the driver side of your northstar engine, as apposed to earlier models. Before jumping to any conclusions though, I would suggest a cooling system pressure check, and verification of the leak. When they say they may need to remove covers, its no B/S. Hope this helps.

Also, as far as a garage goes in your area, try doing an internet search in your area. Usually some websites will keep a rating on local garages, from real customers. An honest, fix it once, fix it right garage will usually charge around 95-120$hr. But check reviews before making a choice.
