Chevy Sonic - Any GM parts experts out there?

I will not trust our local Midas to even put on a muffler.

Hope yours is better.

Go to a good front end alignment shop and have them quote or recommend someone if they only do alignments. Want a good recommendation on alignments then one go to a independent tire dealer and ask who they use.

Wonder if that leaking shock wasn't oil sprayed on the shock by a "technician ".

Same here. Find the sticker.
This was good advice - the sticker was well-hidden - I found it on the side of the spare tire well in the trunk, taking a 2nd look. Anyway, the 3-letter codes were alphetical (phew) and I did find the suspected Q1H code partway through the list. My friend placed an order with Rock Auto a few minutes ago.

Possibly:

Q1H : TIRE ALL P195/65R15 SL 89H BW AL2

QLG : TIRE ALL, P205/55R16/N BL R/PE ST TL AL3

RKJ : TIRE ALL P205/50R17 SL 88H BW AL3
Q1H confirmed! Thanks guys, excellent advice.

We have a 2015 Sonic 1.8l , purchased new . So far it has been a pretty good car . Pretty good MPG . Has sufficient power , at least for us old folks .

My thought as well. Most Midas stores are shady as heck.

I actually like the Sonic! Much more fun to drive than the Cruze.
