You would call them when your at the dealership. There would be a gaurentee of money back if your not satisfied. The biggest part of the service is making sure your not being scamed or screwed by the dealer. The service and company are both legitamate.

I am so unlucky in the way of owning a running vehicle that it's not even funny. The first day I got my 93 Nissan Altima the battery was dying. I changed the battery, connections are nice and tight, the battery was running 14 volts before I took it from Autozone. This morning I went out after changing the battery Yesterday, and the car would not start. I used my father's power tester, it was at .01 volts.
The alternator is cranking fine, I had it checked after I installed the battery. So...Advice? Who do I have to kill to have a working car? *cries*

I have a car that everything works fine. when i turn on my heater, however, the heat is warm instead of hot like it used to be back last winter. the air conditioner works fine and all the speeds (ie. 1,2,3,4) work fine as well as all the setting (ie. legs, face etc)

At first I thought I wasn't hurt, but then my neck started to hurt a few days after the wreck, and my back is aching badly. I've got insurance with my auto insurance company for medical expenses. But the accident was caused by a driver who bumped into the back of my car, and her insurance is taking responsiblity. But which insurer will pay for my medical expenses? I don't want to pay a lot up front for an MRI - can I request a payment before going to the doctor? I've been putting off going as I'm worried about the money, and also I thought I might just get better without the need for doctors (I'm really claustrophobic so MRIs scare me). But I'm still having pain in my neck (isn't that what a car wreck is!!). Which insurer should I request payment from for the medical expenses? And when? Hoping someone can help!

If you're in a car accident, do you pull over on the side of the road if you're able to, then call the cops, or do you just stop where the car accident happened, then call the cops?

No doubt about it, one of the biggest mistakes was Mercedes-Benz buying Chrysler, and trying to morph it into something Americans are not interested in. The osmosis from Detroit poisioned what was once the benchmark from the company that invented the automobile, and MBZ learned nothing from this except recently to fire the bean-counter in charge who's only vision was reporting numbers to the stockholders for the next quarter(just like Ford and GM are in trouble). Once a company goes public in America, your just an errand boy doing tricks for trickle-up economics.

Who's taking bet's that within 2 years, this marriage made in hell will be over, and each side can work their respective side of the fence.

If there taking bet's in Vegas, I'll put down a G-note that this will all go the way of the dinosaur.

I have a 2004 Hyundai Tiburon GT with a 6 speed manual trans. At 27000 miles the factory clutch went. The service department at Fayetville NC Hyundai told me "thats seems to be pritty commen around 30000 miles." & "it's (the clutch) concidderd a fare ware item and not covered under warrienty" The estimate was $1900 to fix.
I put in a high performance clutch and pressure plate at a local trans shop for $1400. Now the clutch is gone agian at 31000 miles (4000 on new clutch).
I am a tractor trailer owner and get 750,000 miles on my big truck clutches so I know it's not me with bad clutching habits.

My automatic 97 Sunfire GT 2.4L has several issues.

When I start the car, if I get out and listen, I can hear the engine running inconsistently.
When idle [in drive] the car will sometimes shake from the engine running inconsistently..
When shifting from D to R, the car usually makes a pop noise [seems to be coming from transmission].
When driving, the car will occasionally make this popping noise several times while the engine seems to have a good bit of trouble..accelerating will usually stop this.

I just got an oil change recently. I checked the air filter today. I've tried various fuel additives...which possibly solved a problem I had with the car stalling out when trying to go from a stop [at a light, etc.].

I understand that I should have passed on a place does not feel the way I do about motorcycles, but my wife loved the place, and promised her that I would buy her a house before I got a bike. I live on the ground level and I have a pretty large patio. In my opion as long I don't leave it in the parking lot over night what I have in my house or on my patio is my business, would I be doing something illegal, My patio is on the back and only people who live next to me and people on the golf course would be able to see it.
