dealer = $750, others range <100 (regular mechanic) to ~$350. who to choose? The regular mechanic said it was just basically an oil change and air filter change with check ups. should i trust any schmo to do it since it's printed out what the service includes? or should i go with a place that specializes in BMWs/ foreign autos

Ok...for all of you who answerd my question about the 4 inline carbs on the 82 suzuki 650, Im not real sure the gas is leaking from the carbs...It seems to be coming form the base of the idle screw...is there a seal there or a fuel line that may be leaking? I can feel the bottom of the idle screw but i cant see it.

How much should one spend on a vehicle (total purchase price) as a percentage of their yearly income?

I am not including recurring expenses such as insurance, gas, etc, just the purchase of the car (e.g. 28k for a TSX)

FYI i earn 80k/year. I have heard 50% of yearly salary is a good figure. Should i spend 40k on a car? or is that too much? Please advise

We were notified recently that our umbrella insurance policy was being dropped becuase I received a DUI in 2005. I am thinking of switching my driver's insurance policy to another company so my family can continue its umbrella policy. Therefore, being insured at another company leaves me without the extended coverage. Should I take out my own umbrella policy? Any thoughts or suggestions? Thnx.

I have a 1990 Ford Probe GT. It's a 2.2 fuel injected 4 cylinder engine. It leaks and burns oil fast. It overheats, smokes, and gurgles some type of liquid. It revs up on its own up to 4000 rpms. It won't idle on it's own until it's warmed up. It makes a loud grinding sound from underneath front on the passenger side only when I'm driving and it's only happened 3x. I have a bad head gasket, so that's the oil. I think the EGR valve is doing something wrong...the car won't start now. It turns over but it's not starting. Before, it would take it a good 10 sec. to start anyway. Help? LMAO.

It gets pretty cold here in California during the winter, and some days on the morning commute the temperature drops to nearly 50 degrees. Suddenly there are absolutely no other Harley's on the road and I fear its because of the fair-weather nature of my brethren. Given, I hang up the chaps and leather vest for an insulated aerostitch, and I know for a fact most Harley guys wouldn't want to be seen in anything as protective as that. But why is it so many Harley guys park the bike for the cold months and only ride 6 months out of the year? I'm a bada** biker, why aren't they? I'm worried the comments people make about Harley riders being wannabe sheep may be true. So why don't the Harley folks ride in the cold weather?

Service shop inspected car after report of low oil pressure. Found oil filter was imploded and undersized for car (01 Passat 2.0L V6). Oil was described as silver in color and contained metal shavings. Shop said engine bearing(s) are shot and need replacement engine. Initiated liability claim against lube shop which changed oil.

Now, they want to have their mechanic inspect the car to determine the cause of the failure and then decide if they will accept liability !

I've spoken to two other mechanics and they stated it is impossible to determine the cause of the failure now that the original service shop has removed the original oil and imploded oil filter.

So, my question is what should I do (i.e. let the other mechanic inspect the engine or not)? Can he really determine the cause of the failure now or am I just giving the lube place a chance to develop a defense for a possible lawsuit (i.e. my expert says X and their's says Y was the cause)?

So is that the motor (wiper motor?) that should be fixed or is that a different part for the wipers only?
