Hi guys!
Does anyone know a good mechanic in the Los Angeles area / El Segundo or South Bay area?
I've had my Jeep for three years and she's starting to give me some issues.
She is high mileage (155,700) but I do plan to keep her FOREVER if possible (Maybe it's wishful thinking).
I'm getting a few issues:
1. I'm getting the Christmas lights feature on the dashboard.
It's giving me anxiety to watch because the mileage meter drops to 0 sometimes. Do you think this is the battery? Should I just get a new one?

2. The front right turn signal works sometimes but once in a while I get signaled that it doesn't work. The light socket got water in it, it got rusted and I think it short-circuited the fuse, so I replaced it and I cleaned the socket to the best of my ability, but once in a while I still get that signal.
3. My two front brakes got replaced with new ones and it's been 8 months since that's been done and I hear a squeaking sound coming from them. I went to get them checked by the guy who installed them and he just said it might just be the type of brakes but that everything looked fine. Not the answer I was looking for especially since they didn't squeak before.
4. Also when I lower my speed to 10-15 MPH there is a squeaking sound not associated with the brakes or so I think. It sounds like something is turning and squeaking.
bearings?!?! You might be able to hear this in the video.
Also, I was recommended Flood Penetrol for the trim but California doesn't allow that product. Does anyone have any other recommendations or know of a place where I can get it?
I tried OFFER UP with no luck.
I'm not a mechanic so please don't crucify me if I sound ignorant.
