I find it hard to do the contortions necessary to clean the inside of my windshield. Is there some device already made which will make that job easier? The combination sponge/squeegee really can't get into the corners or bottom. What I'd really like is a button to push! :-)

I smelled something and I thought it was this new tar or something, but when I left the area I was at, my right front tire area had smoke coming out of it.

I stopped the truck and there was a little smoke coming out and I decided to go to a gas station where I stopped it again it looked like it was coming from the left side. I went down the road a bit more and after I stopped again the smell/smoke stopped.

What was the problem? Did I burn my tires, or my breaks, was it my engine -I put coolant when I got home....? WHAT?!

What could have caused this and obviously it is not normal correct? The front right rotor is an smooth as can be, but as I said the front left has two very deep grooves in it already. Any help is appreciated!

I checked on the dealer's major tune-up package, now they just exclude many service such as brake, coolant, power steering flush service and fuel injection cleaning... I need to pick and choose to add those services myself in addition to major service. I have no idea what service is ESSENTIAL for the car or what is just for ripping off their customers.

My car is 2003 Totoya Camry with 90K mileage, with great condition and I do the oil change regularly. I don't think I did any flush services before.

It would be great if I can get the approx price between dealer, auto shop (midas, pepboys) and private mechanics for those service.

I'm so afraid of my car dying while driving, because of all the misfires I've been receiving from my crappy 2000 Honda Civic DX. I swear I get a heart attack everytime I drive the thing. I just wanted to know if it's possible.

I have a 94 silverado with the 350 tbi engine. I tried to start it this morning and it briefly tried to turn over then quit. all the lights and radio work and the voltage seemed lower than usual so i replaced the battery. it still does the same thing. the starter doesnt even click over. Could it be a broken ground, starter or what? thanks.

Alright, so my car is a 95 Nissan Altima. It only leaks gas when I start my car up. I think the leakage is coming from the middle of my car towards the back. I just hope this isn't going to cost me a arm and a leg. So, what do you all think this could be? Thanks for ur answers to the last ?

Everytime I start up my car gas starts leaking from it. So, I already know that's not good. I just want to know what could be causing this? Is this going to be expensive to get fixed?

I have a 1998 Lincoln Continental, and on my way home from work today I noticed that the window wouldn't go down. Also, the power locks, mirrors, keyless entry, panic alarm, and trunk release won't work. I checked the fuses, but they all appear good. I was wondering if anyone out there knows which fuse # is associated with the mirrors, locks, windows, keyless, etc.

Is there a product or service that will do it? I drive an older car that had it, now has new brakes and it even gave the drivers side of my exterior a rusty tinge color that's barely visible but there. For my tires, is there a cleaner that will take that stuff of my tires and rims?

I realize this may seem silly however it is bothering me. I can't figure out why the clock works very intermittently. I've noticed that it seems to work after I've used the windshiled wipers often but oither thanthat...the fuse is not blown...Any suggestions would eb great! Also, if anyone has a solution for horrible gas mileage. I only get 20 mpg either Hwy or city...doesn't seem to matter. The air filter has been changed, I've had platinum sparkpulgs installed. Still don't get higher than 20 most of the time.

Thanks for any consideration in these matters.

I just got a call from the customer and it isn't a chrysler it is a '98 Plymouth Voyager with a 3.3 liter engine.
My problem is that when she first brought the van to me its cooling fans would not turn off and the water pump was leaking so I replaced the water pump, coolant temp sensor, and the thermostat. Now the fans won't engage at all and I have checked all of the fuses and relays and they are fine. Could it be that I have installed a defective coolant temp switch? Somone Please Give Me A Professional Opinion. I have been an auto tech for 8 yrs. and I'm pretty much stumped on this one.
