San Francisco area servicer needed

[Joe_Black]

The gentleman who bought our '04 Axiom immediately began experiencing issues with the cooling system after taking delivery from the shipper, and I'm trying to locate a reputable Isuzu servicer in the San Francisco area for him.

Can anyone recommend a good shop?

Thanks much!

You could try the dealer locator @ www.isuzusource.com

Thanks, I had passed that along to him but had hoped for some personal experience-based recommendations of a competent service department.

Competent/honest auto service = noodle in a haystack...

Good Luck !

Joe,
Maybe you might have luck PMing or emailing some of the S.F. owners. Try GOVEHIX or Genghis for a start.

I got an update today that he contacted Isuzu corporate and verified the 7 year/75K miles warranty is transfereable and that he is in fact covered, so all's well there. The closest dealership to him apparently is San Leandro so he'll have to get a tow since the Axiom is leaking coolant quite a bit from the top of the engine.

Once the problem is discovered and resolved I'll share here as it may be relevant since the Direct Injection 3.5 is fundamentally the same engine as ours.

I'm VERY curious to find the cause as the vehicle was fine when I delivered to the shipping terminal, which was an hour drive for me. My gut tells me something happened in transport, but I can't imagine what it could be to affect the cooling circuit.
