My BMW 318 ic 1994 says I have no gas! The light is on and the line is completely down to the bottom. I just filled up the car! Also, the ABS light has come on. What is wrong with my car? And how much will it cost to fix it? Thanks!

I have a 1998 Chevrolet Cavalier and it runs fine except when you put the car in reverse on a hill. The car starts to go in reverse and usually just sits and spins. The only time it does this is when you are on a hill. Any other time it does fine in reverse. No one seems to know what the problem is. I was curious as to whether anyone here did. Thanks in advance for your help.

Ok, I own an 85' Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. It needs some work. Here is a list of things that it needs:

-Fix a leak in the transmission
-A New muffler and exhaust pipe
-A Tune-up
-An oil change
-Wiper blades

I'm taking it to a mechanic for everything because I don't wanna mess anything else. I need to know how much this is all going to cost before I go so I have the money. Preferably would like an actual mechanic to answer this question but anyone who knows could give me their input too.

I need a really accurate quote or a really accurate ballpark quote, including costs of labor and all that. Thanks!

Ive had one person tell me its a possible control arm and Ive had another person tell me its a strut. the person who said control arm said it would cost about 70 dollars to check it out. the person who said it was my strut did a hand test i guess. he had me park on a level surface and he showed me that the drivers side was lower than the passanger side. what do you think? my steering is fine but the car does ride a little rough. thank you

I have a 79 Tbird with a 302 V8, Just rebuilt the carb tonight because I thought this was the problem.....Just installed engine a week ago also. When it starts, it idles really high and only runs when the choke is closed. Once you open the choke, it bogs down and dies...Any help would be great appreciated

I drove for 3 hours in a down-pour on the highway and now my backseat floorboard is soaking wet (only on the back passenger side) What would have caused this? And what do I do to get it dried out so no mold will grow?

It's common practice to strip the interior of a car to lighten it in the world of motorsports, but is it legal on public streets (In California)? Detailed answers are very welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Basically they said they need to always replace both tires on axle when I only have a flat on one side because their insurance said it might cause damage to "transmission" or something like that. Is that necisarry? I am having my tires replaced at sears. Is it possible for me to just get a tire from them and put it on my car and avoid all those charges plus a whole other new tire or is it benificial to have a tech put the actual tire onto my car? The fees they are trying to charge are kind of high for labor for this area. I need to have my car realigned anyway, what do you recomend?

I lent my car to my brother the other day, it caught on fire, won't start anymore and there was puddles of transmission fluid beneath the car. The car had previous transmissions leaks, I'm thinking it might need a seal but not sure, when I try starting it, it seems to want to start, but is making some crunching sounds... any ideas on what could be the problem?

I'm trying to find a grill to replacement the damaged grill currently on my truck. I can't find any websites that sell 2001 Chevy Silverado 2500HD factory grills. I want to replace the damaged grill with the same style, I don't want one of the new fancy grills. I simply want the factory, original style. I just can't find any website which sells those grills. Does anyone know a place where this part is sold?

Thanks in advance!

I test drive it and it seem to work great....just a little bit hard when I step on the gas pedal...it doesn't go that smoothly... is it find like that? this car is a one owner and has around 35k...they offer me $1000 down payment and. For 5 years montly fees is $399. For 6 years is $469. I'm planning on making $5000d down payment. so now for 5 years it's $265. 6 years it's $233...they said that the two years warranty is included in there already. I have no experience in this..Should I get this car or not? What should I do? I've look at the history of this car and it's good. btw the interest rate is 12 points something. Should I get a loan from the bank instead? the interest rate for the bank is 10 points something. Could anyone help me? please?
