I need to buy a tire and have it put on but I'm not sure where to get this done as it will be my first time. I don't know if Walmart is fine. Do they have tires for sale at such places as Jiffy lube, and Valvoline? Where do you get yours done? Please tell me where you think the best place is. Any other information you can add will be appreciated.

how often should things like filters and spark plugs, etc. be replaced on a car or looked at...? like does it go by the car's mileage or something else?

I have a 1994 Camaro Z28 that was running rough at one point then I corrected that, now I have this problem that if the car is cold it will run and run fine then as soon at it gets warm and I stop it will not restart. It will not restart until the next morning which means it takes along time for it to cool down. All things have been changed such as the basics, starter coil, plugs, caps etc. I am lost for what this maybe. I am in college and really need this car to run to go to work

My oil warning light is coming on intermittently but not losing any oil. Is it likely the motor will sieze without other warning signs such as increased temp. When it initially came on I added 600ml oil, possibly too much it is now over the level. However the light came back on 30 kms down the road. If you stop and turn the car off, for as short as one minute it turns off for another 30- 60 kms. Yesterday I did 500kms with it like this(had no choice) and there were no other ill effects. Althought there is an intermittent tapping noise. I did get very good fuel consumption, and the light came on less at night. I am going to get the oil pressure tested today, its just I'm on the road and just want to get home (2000kms). The car is a subaro leone 89, its not a major catasrophe if it siezes it was only cheap, and I'm only using while my other car gets fixed, I don't want to throw lots of money at it

I have a civic LX...bought 4 brand new tires at Sams Club...Goodrich tires....and supposedly the guys balanced the tires....but when i drive, i feel like the tires almost "slip". My tires are aligned, they stay straight on the road...but i feel like the tires drift off to a side. I don't know if this makes sense, buit does this sound like a balancing issue or something else?

My 96 Dodge Caravan won't start. When you turn the key, everything electrical works - AC, windows, radio, etc. But it just clicks once, when you turn the key. It's not the battery - my husband too it to Auto Value, they tested it and said it was bad, so he bought a new one, but it doesn't make a difference.

We just got a new starter 2 years ago, so I don't *think* that's what's wrong, but then, I know next to nothing about cars.

Any suggestions on what may be wrong?

So we had a problem with my car. It make a *popping noise* whenever i make sharp turns (backing out/pulling in of a parking space) so we thought that we better get it fixed. We brought it to the mechanic and he installed a bushing kit and did something else to fix it, all to the amount of $300. We went for a run after he claimed to have fixed it, and it sounded fine. Later that evening i go to pull out of my driveway, the loud, embarrasing popping noise is back. Can i go back to the mechanic and make him fix it? What do i do?
