I am starting to really get frustrated here. I have been bouncing back and forth between the tire dealer and Volvo for the better part of today.
Let me back up.. I brought the car to 05/01 for severe shaking and humming noise, they told me I need 4 tires, I bought 4 tires, and the problem didn't stop. Went back they said change the fuel filter and spark plugs. Again to no avail. Went back 3rd time was a charm... I needed new left and right front axles. Got the car back yesterday and still have an issue with shaking. Got tires re-balanced and another alignment. Still didn't fix it. Also noticed that the cotter pin was missing on front axles. Volvo Said they don't use them, sent me on my way back to tire place. Got new tires 2 weeks after 1st set and still the steering wheel shakes at highway speeds. Tire place said it's not the tires its the car.. Volvo Said not the car the tires. Any suggestions here?

Because of the length of my commute and no public transportation available, i need to buy a minivan. Can anyone help me find a comparison web site that compares the performance, drive train, and overall reliability of the vehicles on the market.

Thank you.

I need to have a front wheel alignment, some flushes. A tune up basically on a minivan that has a little over 85,000 miles on it. I do not want to get ripped off though with some place that is going to say that I need something done that I don't need done.

How do I find someone honest?

truck fires and operates fine Coil will last about 12 to 15 starts depending on distanced traveled. truck will run find, shut it down and it will not refire. You can replace the coil and it will fire right up eventually the module will fry and have to be replaced . I have added a ballist resistor, this lowered the operating temp. 20 to 30 degrees but did not solve the problem. Help!!! I've been thru 5 or 6 coils and three ignition modules.

I am looking to purchase a used vehicle and am thinking of purchasing certified used. I have thought of going with a BMW and have found several with low miles that I think are for a good price. Many of my friends tell me that they are good cars but expensive to repair. Would I be better off purchasing say a Ford or other make because parts would be less expensive? Which would give me the best service overall. I drive less than 20,000 a year and have had my current car for 10 years, so I like to keep a vehicle and to not have to drive the latest and greatest. Thanks for your time in answering this question.

I'm in Florida so these lovebugs are caked all over my car and I've heard either PAM cooking spray or WD-40 spray will take them off easier. Which one of these is true or do you have any other suggestions to get them off my car without taking the paint with them?

Ok This is kinda long but please bear with me...
The company that my husaband and I work for is changing from a trucking company to a brokrage company. The owner asked us if we wanted to buy one of the Semi-Truck and trailers for what he owe's on it. Wich is about 16thousand for a 3 year old Peterbuilt and a decent Dry Van. He will carry the loan and we will make the payments for the next year untill its payed off. The we will use him a broker for the loads that we are doing right now. Mean while getting paid alot more money than we make right now.
So this sounds way to good to be true right?

Also can anyone tell me what to realisticly exspect from being an O/O. as far as break downs, getting paid, and permits.

Thanks in advance.
