Hello, I own a 92 Honda Civic and upon fixing it up I found some places missing screws and when I attempted to put my rear seat back in the car, the bolt snapped in half. I went to a few auto part stores and they don't have any of the screws or bolts that I need! Any idea where I can find them??

I took my car 2003 Hyundai Elantra to my dealer today to diagnose a brake problem (intermittant dragging somewhere) I've been having since the temp. dropped below freezing last week. It has 43,000 miles with the original pads front and rear (4 wheel disk brakes with ABS and Traction control).
The rear pads were freezing to the rotor off and on and were scored. There was debris and rust built up where the pads slide back and forth against the rotors. On the fronts , a pad was starting to separate from the backing plate. It was suggested that I get new pads front and rear. They would also resurface all 4 rotors , clean out the rust and debris , and lube the slides.
Total for this came to $500 dollars!!!! $230 per axle plus tax! I could have gone to a local tire place and gotten away with $80 per axle plus 80 to resurface all four rotors for a total of $240 plus tax.
I didn't because all 4 wheels were off , the calipers unbolted , and the pads sitting on the rotors already.

This only happens when its cold outside... for whatever reason. I have a 99 Acura CL & the shifter gets stuck and I can't move the stupid thing! I checked the manual, and there is actually a little slot next to the shifter where you can stick your key to move the shifter. It works normally during the afternoon when the sun comes out, but it's a big pain to deal with. I don't want to do this everytime I drive. How can I fix this?

The passenger side door lock cylinder of my golf 1996 GL came out of the handle along with the key. The problem is that earlier whenever I opened the car from the driver side, the alarm went off...( on turning the key to open from driver's side, the inside lever went up and came back down on removing the key..mechanic said the latch was weak to be able to sustain the lever in up position on opening from the driver side.)..so I used to open it from passenger side. Now I have to open it from driver side, let the alarm go off, and then leaving the door open..go back and turn the key inside the hatch lock ..to turn the alarm off.

My questions....
1) What do I need to buy to repair the passenger side lock. (the whole handle with lock/ just the cylinder/ something else)
2) What is wrong with my driver side lock and how do I fix it?

When I fuel up, I like to put in an even dollar amount. When I'm doing little pumps, am I really getting the gas I'm paying for?

Hello I'm not an expert mechanic..... I was doing a minor tune-up on my 1991 Toyota Camry (88,000 miles) and I found a spark plug with oil at the base where it threads. I'm wondering what this means and how it can affect the overall life of the engine and how much will I need to spend on parts and labor.? I appreciate your responses....thank you.

On a 1989 thunderbird, the coil has a wire that goes to a small metal cylender. I think this is called the "condenser". What does it do? what happens if it goes bad?

Also, how do you tell if the coil is going bad?

i have a 93 honda accord.... I bought it about 2 weeks ago. the guy i bought it from said that about once every other month while driving it, it would just shut down. he said that if you let it sit for about 30 minutes it will start back up. yesterday while driving the car shut down. the motor just stops or something,,, i waited 30 mins, it started but then i only got about 3 miles and it happened again only now it won't start back up. it will turn over but just doesn't fire. someone said it could be the fuel filter, but the guy i bought it from said that he thought it was the ignition module. what are yours thoughts???

My Prius has 100,000 miles and runs fine with no rattles. But I'm ready to trade for a newer one with a little more space in back seat. Should I wait for the 2008 new model or go ahead with a 2007 model. I definitely want another Prius.
