Mr.Z (TheHun) worked on the air conditioner in my car.
Excellent job!
Highly recommended!

When leaving Santiago and heading towards La Vega it is on the right side.
Just pass HOMS Hospital and as jorgesarduysousa said, almost in front of the fortress.

The problem is, I have a very specific problem with a specific car, that Auto-Contin knows how to fix.
Talk to Mr Z, perhaps he knows how to fix it.
He specializes in luxury cars, and Auto-Full works on all cars I believe.
Sounds like it may be a recurring problem?
If so, then Auto-Contin did not fix it before.
Chat with Mr. Z.
Second opinions are helpful sometimes.

My Hummer H3 has water leakage problems from the sun roof, usually after strong rains, most likely due to recurring sunroof drain blockage or faulty seals. Water comes out of the On-star microphone and out of roof unto dashboard, legs, etc....sometimes I can hear water sloshing around, inside the roof.
I heard this is a common problem with H3's.
I have had other companies try to fix this with no success.
I heard that Auto-Contin specializes on H3's and knows about this problem and how to fix it.
I also need my computer in the car reset, all the lights for 'low tire,' 'low tire pressure' and 'term service' etc do not reset as you need someone with Hummer computer to do this.
I would have a chat with Mr. Zee anyway, he's worked and works on lots of high end cars in Santiago. He's factory trained and has "real" tools, diagnostic computers, specialist tools etc.
Perhaps you just need a better "Parking Space" at work

Its a common problem for ALL cars with a sunroof. What you have is debris in the drain tube on the A-pillar of the car. The debris(dirt, leaves, etc.) clogged up the drian and the water backs up and overflows into the roof of the car...or that the tube has become detached or is leaking from within the A-pillars. Whoever you had to try and fix this is an idiot because its the most simple fix in the world. You(or whomever) has to pull of the A-pillar trim(on the drivers side and the passengers side) to get access to the drain tube, pull it apart and either blow air into it(high pressure compressed air) or run a pipe cleaners through(like the kids used to play with, bendy and felt covered). The blockage maybe further down the line but thats the good part of compressed air, it will blow the dirt out the other end..
Whats next?
The Service lights reset from the dashboard. You only need the computer for Volvos. You have to hold the function tab on the odometer until it says reset service. It takes about 10 seconds.
The tire issue is another dealie. You may have low tire pressure in one of the 4 tires on the car OR the spare tire. You have to check the pressure in ALL of them and make them EQUAL to each other. Even the spare. If they are all similar, then you may have a faulty tire pressure sensor. It is essentially a microtransmitter with a pressure sensor on it that send the signal electronically to the ECM in the car. If this TPS is bad, forget it. You re in a 3rd World country and they wont be able to get it. And if they do you wont want it after they tell you the price AND one has to know what he is doing to install it. If not he ll break it. It is retained the wheel of the car with an aluminum strap and the transmitter mounts at the base of the valve stem. The tire light reset automatically when it the system is equal in values. There is nothing he could do for you PLUS the fact that due to the age of the car he WOULD NOT have access to the GM OS. You d have to go to GM Santo Domingo and hope they could help you if they offer the Hummer as a brand in the Caribbean.

ho ho ho,,,ill tell you what it is,,,, it is the same problem w/most sun roofs... dust and debris clog the exit lines, there are two of them.... sometimes(most) air-blowing from the top does not work... we always used a flexible yet stiff wire with a drill...like a portable snake..... One time the mechanic used the inside of a speedo cable....
but it is terrible when it happens.(leaking on you)

Waoo that was a good diagnosis, you must be a certicated mechanic...
I will ask you for help some times.

One thing you learn in this country, is that the simplest things can be the hardest, and the most difficult things are often the easiest.
The drain has been fixed over and over, its more likely a seal problem. Last time they cleared the drain, after the next hard rain it was blocked again. or its something else.
whats an A-Pillar? sorry I'm in idiot when it comes to cars.
yeah they tried the compressed air thing a few times in the past too
