Maintenance & Repairs - June 2007

I have a nice deep ding in my door and wanted to know what I should expect to pay to have it pulled out? Range is ok - just want to go in with something as a reference.

I took it to a mechanic and he told me I needed a new computer , so I bought one and it does exactly the same thing. During driving occasionally the check engine light would come on and then go off after a few minutes. the car will not allow me to put fuses in any more...... it blows them before I even get the dang thing plugged in and I do observe some sparks at the fuse location. The car does try to start .... in other words I know its not the battery, starter or alternator. PLEASE HELP!!!!!!

Just Brakes shop replace fallowing parts
Disc pads front
Brake shoes pear
Rotors RF LF
Drums RR LR
Calipers RF LF
Disc Hardware front
on Olds Mobile Cutlass Sierra 95. Since than my care is vibrates most of the time that I am braking, it is does not meter if high or low speed it does same. I went to the shop twice with same problems but they are only machine the rotors, which still is not solving the problem. One of the technicians, of the same shop, claimed than I need adjust the alignment, than should stop the problem.

1.I am wondering, is there any connection between alignment and vibration of the car during the bracing process?
2.Is it dangers to drive in this conditions?
3. Can I ask the just brakes technicians to replace all the main parts again?

Thank you.

I drive a stick (obviously) and this morning I went to start my car and my clutch was "loose", like it needed to be warmed up. So I let the car warm up for about 5 minutes and press on the clutch but it still was very loose. I couldn't change gears and there haven't been any funny smells. Any suggestions on what's wrong?

My Cruise control went out on my 1995 mercury mystique and i cant find the fuse! the manual tells me that it is not located in the dash panel fuse box nor is it in the PDC. so, i was wondering if anyone knew where it might be located so i can see if that might be the problem.

Howdy. My 1999 Chevy Cavalier z24 convertable leaks. The top is fine. It's the rubber seal thing that runs along the passenger side window (i.e. where the window meets the top) that is the problem. It is like worn down, and water, after an hour or so of raining, will eventually drip its way into the car and onto the passenger seat (leaving a decent sized puddle on the seat if it rains overnight) or on the passenger. :o(

Can this be fixed? I'm not sure what thatr ubber part is called, how much it would cost, where i can get it fixed, etc. It just bugs the crap out of me (and my passengers haha).

It sort of leaks on the driver's side too. Same problem...but not NEARLY as much. at most, after a few hours of hard rain, ill get a little wet spot on my seat... or a couple drips while im diriving on my left arm or something. but the passenger side drips 1x every 10-15 seconds

I stuck Garmin adhesive disk for handheld GPS onto my car's windshield without seeing Garmin's note that it is "permanent"!

I'm planning to sell my car and the buyer wants none of it!

What is the safest (/simplest) way to remove this dashboard adhesive disk?

Thanks!

Seems to me you are already changing the oil slowly because it leaks.

I own a 91 Honda Crx 2 dr. Started it this morning, everything went fine. Then I went to put it in gear and press on the accelerator and then the rpms lowered and my car died. I started it again and the same thing happened. My car starts fine, but once I press on the gas it goes down hill from there. I think it could be the fuel filter or pump, but I want to make sure. What could it possible be.?

I just got new rims on my car and I noticed that it was really pulling towards the right. I went back to the dealer and they rotated the rim to the back. It seemed to help somewhat, but it still is pulling right. Do you think it's an alignment issue?

This is the only thing that needs to be taken care of before my car will pass state inspection. The bumper cover is fine, but the actual bumper is rusted and cracked. If I was rearended, it would probably crumble and not do much to protect me. Would anyone have a guess as to how much it would cost in parts and labor?

I've already called a few body shops. I'm just waiting for the return calls to come in, so I thought I'd ask here as well.

Thanks in advance!

Auto techs?
If you're an automotive tech, please give me some feedback please, for example, could you answer the following question:

Do you have a degree or a certificate?
How much did you start off at?
Are you paid flat rate or hourly wage?
How long did it take you to start making a lot of money?
How many days do you generally work? If 6, then is it mandatory?
What's the highest hourly or flate rate that you've ever had?
If your work is based on flat rate, what is the most hours that you have ever made in one week?
