Maintenance & Repairs - August 2006

I need to buy new tires for my car, a 98 Civic. The tires i have now are completely bald but i'm not too knowledgeable about cars and i don't know how to go about getting them (plus i don't want to get ripped off or coerced into buying something i don't need). Fisrt, if i go to a place like sears or firestone do i need an appointment (because i'd want them to install them too) or do i just show up? Also, what would a good tire be for driving in Houston? What are some reliable tires, etc? Basically, i'm completely clueless when it come to my car and need some feedback on tires.

I don't know a thing about cars... I know where to put the gas, and I can change my own oil, that’s as far as my knowledge extends. But their is a blue fluid dripping from my car. I thought there might be a problem with my windshield wiper fluid or my coolant but i thought that coolant was green but i dont know much. I was wondering what the blue liquid dripping was. Thanks.

I recently become an owner of a 1993 Geo Tracker. It did not come with an a/c unit. I am trying to install it, and want a complete a/c kit. I don't want to pay $800 unless I really really have to. Does anyone can help me find one? It is even worth spending the money one it. I mean how reliable is 1993 Geo Tracker that has 98,xxx miles on it. I alwasy owned Toyota, this time I got something different. I guess I have two questions that I am asking you.

I have a squeaking sound coming from the right side of my car (I think front) near the tires when my car moves. I think this is the result of turning too fast or too hard (i.e. quick U-ey) Any idea what the problem is? (Don't say brakes, it's NOT the brakes, I know what those sound and feel like when they go bad.)

I was told air in the hoses was the reason my explorer was overheating. How do I get the air out? I'm a girl so don't be a jerk. It's really not a stupid question.

I'm starting to think it's just me. I noticed my explorer was overheating a few weeks ago. Since then I have replaced the thermostat, water pump and checked for leaks. we don't see any but it's still overheating. I was told to look for white oil but it looks to be fine. anyone out there have any real advice? I'm on a budget and worried to be scammed by a repair shop. I know not all are dishonest but they are hard to find in my area. What else could be causing it to overheat. it overheats after idling for a while
then when i start driving again it will over heat. HELP

I was driving normal, nothing was wrong or anything. I went across a real bumpy intersection and all the sudden my TCS light and my Engine light came on. and then i noticed that my d4 light was flashing too. ALL THE SUDDEN.

SO i pulled over to the side, and when i went back on my way, my car wouldnt pick up speed as quick. I had to put the car in 1 or 2 to make it pick up speed. whats wrong with my car?? how could the tranny just go out all the sudden, so i dont think its that.
