Hi — I’m Mohand, a U.S.-based mechanical engineer and automotive specialist with extensive hands-on experience diagnosing GM engines, including Chevy Colorado platforms. I’ve handled multiple complete engine failures, performed root-cause diagnostics (mechanical, electrical, fuel, and control systems), and prepared formal technical reports suitable for dealer or legal review. My approach starts with a structured inspection: history intake, visual and leak-down compression tests, fuel and ignition system checks, scan-tool data capture, and pressure/flow verification. I’ll collect and log fault codes, freeze-frame data, and live sensor traces, then perform targeted mechanical tests (cylinder leakage, oil analysis, and timing/valve-train verification) to confirm physical damage or systemic failure. After diagnosis I’ll produce a clear, itemized report with findings, test data, likely cause, recommended repairs or replacements, and an opinion on whether manufacturer or warranty issues are implicated. I hold practical automotive certifications and regularly work with dealership-level diagnostic tools; I’ll also make myself available to discuss the report and answer technical questions during your Ohio Attorney General process. I’m ready to start immediately and can provide references and sample reports on request.
