That want to charge $1100.00 to put in a water pump? When there are others who charge less than $500.00 and perform the same quality work.

It isn't just the Oil Companies gauging us!

I got home today and noticed smoke coming from my right front tire well. I don't know what to look for or what it could be caused from.

Is it safe to drive until I can work on it or what?

Why can't they make the steel bodied cars the way they did in the 60's/early 70's and also why can't they make cars as big as they did in the 60's/early 70's, the only thing they can do with those cars is build them with better gas mileage and better brakes and have as much power and torque as the pre-1972 cars.

The starter and generator needed to be fixed. The places around here were charging between 400 dollars for rebuilt parts, or 500 or more for new, but fiance found a place...the guy looked at it and said it would cost $91.97 (or maybe he meant between 91 and 97 dollars?). He said the other places were trying to rip us off. Anyway, he called today saying the work was done and the bill was 230 bucks! Thats a 250% markup from the verbal estimate! We really dont have the money and woudlnt have gotten it fixed if we knew it would be that much. My problem is that he did the repairs without talking to us first, since it was obvious that it was going to cost much more than his verbal estimate. I called up complaining and he was rude to me and fiance, and said he would take off the parts and give us back the mower and old broken parts.

My ?...is he still going to charge us for labor? Should we pay it? Or just tell him to keep the mower in exchange for the bill? something else? HELP!

I have a Volvo 740/1991 model. I have taken it to three garages and none of them can find the problem. The car will just suddenly stop, meaning engine dead, while driving. Sometimes right as I am about to stop, sometimes when I am slowing down, there are times while i am comfortably driving. Whenever it happens, it will start right away but lately I am having a hard time starting it. I just took it to another garage to have it electronically check, the mechanic said that the only thing he saw was a leak in the vacuum hose. He said he sealed it with a silicone seal. I drove it and after one day, it happened again. Pls, pls help.

Why do some people insist on driving really slow? Don't they realise that driving in an over-cautious manner is as dangerous to other road users as driving like a maniac? People get so annoyed they get road rage and end up driving too close and erratically trying to get past. And those numpties who won't dare to go in the right hand lane on the approach to a roundabout when they are going straight on, why why why? And woe betide you if you dare to do this and then overtake them whilst on the roundabout!! Grr.... is it just me, or does this wind everyone up?

My Dad was blind. He was crossing the street at a crosswalk when he was hit and killed by a speeding car. The driver didn't have a license or insurance. He hit him so hard it threw all of his clothesoff him and threw him 8feet in the air and landed 25 feet away. The police won't do anything cause they say that my Dad walked against the light. The driver is still driving today. He should of never been behind the wheel. He also refused to take a chemical test. We're trying to find a lawyer to help us.

I sold my car as part of a trade in to a motor dealer in June. I sent of my part of the registration document, but this has either been lost in the post or at Swansea. When I sold the car, I got a refund on my road tax. The DVLA, without previous enquiries or warnings, have now issued me with a fine for not informing them that I have sold the car and haven`t retaxed the car or Sorned it.
The problem is I did inform them, but as I just sent the document by normal post, I can`t prove that I sent it. How do i fight this?

When someone hits your car and they are totally at fault and want to pay for the damage through insurance, does YOUR insurance company have any involvement? Do they find out?

The boots over my cv joints are both busted. I've been told however that they cannot replace just the boots because of how much labor they have to do/ warranty issues that all they can do is replace the whoe axil. Has anyone ever had expereince with this. And if that is true I'd be better off waiting until my axil goes bad to get it replaced don't you think (as I've heard a bad cv axil gives you ample warning time to replace it before breaking down)
