I'm having a new cat. converter, oil change, etc. done to my Corolla at a independently owned, 3 mechanic repair shop. This is the first time I have dealt with this shop. The owner has been in business at this location 20 years.
This is the first time I have had work done at this shop, and don't personally know the owner.
Should I pay with credit card to help be protected from possibility of rip off repairs? I have plenty of money in my checking account, so I could easily write a personal check. The total bill is $ 390.00 U. S. dollars.

The engine is out of an 89 Chevy s10 blazer, and i would like to know if it will fit into a k5 blazer that has a 700 auto trans. The k5 blazer did have a 5.7 litre before so I'm not sure if the bolt pattern is the same or not.

My passenger side front wheel bangs like something has broken when i steer around corners or roundabouts. I have a vauxhall corsa. It does not happen all the time. It sounds like a steering axle? I have had a new steering column 1 year ago. Despite a clicking noise when i still turn sometimes. Anybody know what could be the problem...should i get rid?

I have Honda Civic 2005 sedan. It's 1.5 year old and has 48K Km on it (30K miles) . In my scheduled maintenance yesterday, the mechanic told me the tranmission fluid is dirty and need to be replaced even though the manual says under serve driving, the transmission fuild should be replaced every 96K km (60K miles) or every 3 years.

Why is it getting dirty so quickly? The only reason I can think of is how I shift to neutrual. Occasionally I shift my gear to neutral when coming to full stop at stop lights (to reduce the stress on my back having to press the brake ).

I also do that once a while when driving downhill on highway (and move back to D when I reach the bottom... I do feel the transition is not smooth... the car slow down a bit as transmission is re-engaged). Rarely I also shift to N when I have to slow down quickly.

Am I killing my automatic tranmission by shifting in and out of N like this? Is there any other reasons why it is dirty so quickly?

Car: '97, 4dr Geo Tracker, Head: JVC KDG430, Dash speakers: 4" Infinity Reference.

Is there any benefit to putting 6" Kicker, Polk, Oz Audio, Sony, etc. in the rear to replace the factory speakers? Is there a benefit to sticking with Infinity Reference for the rear?

An amp & sub are NOT options since I park on the street, and don't want to tempt thieves with the sight of a sub in my cargo space. So, the rear speakers are my chance to do something special.

I mainly listen to 70s funk, and Caribbean music. So, clean, rich bass is important. Throbbing bass isn't necessary. I actually have enough bass right now, but the rear speakers are struggling.

I've recently had my head gasket replaced - since then my engine sounds very loud (almost as though i need to change gear constantly - even though i'm in the right gear). Also when i get stuck in traffic my temp gauge increases very quickly but when i start driving again it cools down again.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Since having the head gasket done - I have found out that the mechanic is a bit of a dodgy character and i'm concerned the job hasn't been completed properly.

I was wondering if there was any car sterio amps. that could be hooked up to a home theater system? The reason why I'm askin' is cause I've been searchin' on the net for the past couple of weeks tryin' to find an amp made for a home theater system and all I've found wern't quit in the amp range I wanted. They were mostly around 200-300 watts range. I wanna get a car amp(s) cause I know that theres some that can kick out 600+ watts easy. I'm planning on hookin' up big speakers to my system and wanna get the most bang that I can out of 'em with usin' amps. Any help would be great.

2000 Saturn LS2. Tail lights work fine when headlights are off, so the bulbs are OK. Tail lights work fine when headlights are on, too, except for when I step on the brake. At that point, the tail lights go off, instead of getting brighter. The middle rear-view window brake light works fine.

How can I fix this?

The bracket is in the rear of the car. It goes from the driver side to the passenger side. It is shaped like a large "W" At the center point of the "W" it connects to an exhaust pipe of some sort.
