Cars & Transportation - 3 November 2007

I am getting a new car soon. However the brakes on my car started to squeak. I was thinking it was the brake pads, but I was wrong. It turns out my rotors and all were bad. Not wanting to put 600 dollars into a car I will only have for two more months, I asked them if they could do the minimal for me that would still keep me safe, but not cost a fortune. So in the end, it says on my reciept that I didn't get my rear drum brake shoes resurfaced. Now my car feels strange when I brake and it feels like I almost have to put it to the ground to get it to stop. I have been to these people over and over again, so I trust them, I just don't want to put my life in danger, did I do the right thing?? I am very confused with this break thing, I don't understand the brake pads and everything, I don't want to get into an accident. I tried to ask the guy, but he didn't speak english very well. Will I be ok for two months?? I'm so lost

This guy in a truck backed into my car last night, gave me his cell phone number, let me copy down his driver's license info, and said he would pay for the damage and wouldn't give me his insurance info. He is ignoring my calls now.

Is there a way I can get in touch with someone's insurance company if I have their driver's license number, name, address on driver's license, and license plate number?

When you get a warning for maitenace repair, do you just repair it, or do you have to repair it and have it inspected by the police department as well now.

Since this was a warning, I all I need to do is fix it, or do I fix it and do something else like let the police department know it was fixed. All I got was some new printout for a work order to repair parts.

Got a new bulb to put in it for her but that didn't work. The only fuse box I found is under the hood but doesn't have any of the little stuff listed as being part of it. So, Does anyone know where I can find the fuse box or have a good idea of why the blinker isn't working. The bulb was bad you could see that. which is why I thought i blew the fuse too but itsn't not on the side by the drivers door or under the dash?????

Nissan Sentra 2001 GXE 1.8L 4dr.
The temparature guage stays around and above 75% (130 degrees) and heater blows cold air. Once in a while (irregularly) when driving, the temperature guage comes down to 50% and heater blows warm air. Usually when engine is idling or break is pressed down, the temparature guage goes high and heater blows cold air. When the gas is pressed hard, it may start to circulate radiator fluid to the heater core or engine and temperature guage may come down and hot air blows.
Tharmostat and battery has been replaced. Radiator fluid flushed few times. Electric connections has been checked. Radiator fan comes on when needed.
The radiator fluid level is constant(no loss of coolant). There is no leak found in the cooling system. Heat Blower fan is good. The water pump is spinning even when in idle.
Please help!

I have some mechanical ability, electrical is not my strong suit. I think a Denali will have more advanced security in it too.

ok, i know a little bit about cars, and i owned previously a 350Z and mustang, so im into the sporty cars. I'm due for a new car now, and i'm not sure what to get. I'm looking for a reasonably priced car, used, that is kinda fast, but somewhat fuel efficient, and also MUST LOOK GOOD. I was thinkin about the mazda rx8, but i was told it isnt that feul efficient. any suggestions?

I've purchased the correct refridgerant, but I can't seem to find the valve where I add it. I did the same to a Ford Escape, and it was easy to find. The position of the valve in the 95 Explorer is leaving me at a loss! There is a very slow leak, and it finally ran out after installing freon in May. I would love to enjoy some fresh air in the hot, Texas sun!!!
