Brought my car to a mechanic because it started smoking a lot. I need valve seal? Can you help me to find the right products please? Many thanks.

Hello,
Usually your mechanic is the one to purchase the needed parts and just include them into the parts side of your total bill. The reason for this is that if your mechanic installs sub standard parts that someone else bought, he can't warranty the work. If he purchases the parts, he knows the quality of the parts and then can warranty his work. Check with your mechanic that is going to the work for you and get back to us with what you two decide on the subject.
Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex, thank you for your reply. I live in Antigua. There is no way my mechanic will find or even order parts. Not to mention that I’m in the USA now and need to bring the parts with me. Any other suggestion?
