Maintenance & Repairs - March 2007

Would It Be A Smart/Safe Thing To Ask My Mechanic To Lower The Labor Price Since He Is Taking A Real Long Time To Fix My Car? He Is Doing A Engine Swap For My Car For Almost Half Of Month Already And He Want $725.00 And Not Including The Extra Parts Needed. Or Should I Just Wait Till He Is Done Fixing It And Then Pop The Question?

He Some Time Can Look Like A Shady Character. Shady Area Of Town. I Heard That Engine Swap Can Be Done Within 1 Week...

I was driving to work today, and the temperature guage in my car went into the red. After a few seconds, it went back to normal. I can also hear bubbling sounds when my car is idleing. Is there something I can just add to my car to fix it...or does it sound like a more serious problem?

i am replacing the oxygen sensor and i want to buy it off of the internet because it is about half the price, the thing is i cant find the same one i have, my oxygen sensor has one wire going from it on the manifold the wire is only about an inch and a half long then it goes into a connector with a plug and a thicker wire that is about 8 inches long and into that plastic tubeing stuff that holds all the wire then i think it comes out of that by the coil and connects to the coil with 2 wires, when im looking for new oxygen sensors they have the ones with one wire but no connectors or anything, and they have some with 2, 3, and 4 wires then some with connectors but the connectors dont look anything like the connector mine has, i was just wondering what i should do.

I have a 92 Mazda, and my door frame is very rusted. How do I remove the car door and re-assemble one while keep my existing window? Is it more wise to get a professional to do it?

I have a dent above the drivers side door handle. No paint damage just a dent. How can I remove this without spending lots of or no money? Do devices such as pops a dent work which use a suction cup to pull it out? Are they worth the money?

Jiffy Lube wants to charge me 39.99 plus tax to do an oil change, vacuum my already clean car, and top off my already topped off fluids. Its a used car I just bought -- 2005 Nissan Sentra

If I raise my car, is an oil change as simple as
1. unscrew a bolt
2. Let the oil drip
3. tighten the bolt
4. unscrew the oil filter
5. attach the new oil filter
6 add more oil

Thats what my friend told me.
Is this right? Or can I mess up somewhere?

my 95 4runner just started running (abnormally) hot when pulling hills. no evidence of leaking antifeeze, radiator is full, system was flushed and filled 4 months ago, i don't smell af on the dipstick... thought maybe tstat was sticking, but why only on steep climbs? i also sensed a noticable loss of power as the truck began to run hot..... any help would be great....

The car (a 6 cylinder) should not require any filter or plug changes for the age of the car and with so little mileage. 15mpg wasn't great but 8 or 9 is horrendous (especially with the outrageous price of gas these days!). Outside a leak in the gas tank (which is not likely), I cannot figure out what the problem could be. Always fill up at the same station. Tire pressure isn't a problem. Even with local driving and winter weather (the car has only been driven in the winter months), the mileage shouldn't have dropped so drastically for no apparent reason. Any ideas what could cause this? Any remedies? Thanks!

And how much should it cost to get it fixed? Auto Zone provided me with this code via a diagnostic, but there wasn't a description for it when they looked in their computers.

Our left front tire blew out today. The auto shop told us to replace the right front tire also, as they were wearing out from the inside. What might have been the cause? I'm thinking misalignment, but am not sure. We'll get the second tomorrow.

I have a 04 Chevy Trailblazer with the Inline - 6, there is a exhaust leak coming from near the exhaust manifold, Do these have problems with the manifold leaking or is it more than likely the gasket? So do I need to replace the gasket or both the gasket and the exhaust manifold? I know these have issues with this part of the exhaust system.
