We had just dropped it off there & she was moving it w/ the door open & wrapped the door around a pole. Anyway it took him months to put a used piece of crap (wrong color) door on & fix the car. We had to have a rental car for 3 weeks because he had the car for like 6 weeks! He said he would make $100 payments each month until the rental fee was paid for. The rental came up to $500-$200 it would have cost us to have him fix the car, leaving him owing us $300. He made one payment of $100 & has owed us $200 for the past several months, plus a paint job or nicer door for the car, all of which he agreed to do, but we didn't get it in writting. (I told my husband to, but he never listens!) This is supposed to be a ligit business...he rents a space & has a bs card, but anyone can do that right? What can I do, if anything, at this point??

I park outdoors and every winter I have to spend at least 5 minutes scraping snow and ice off my car. I need some ideas on how to protect your car windows from freezing up overnight. For example, I thought about using a car cover to keep ice off the windows, but it is a big chore to put it over the car by yourself every night. If anyone has any easier ideas or tricks, please help me out. Thanks!

My boyfriend drives a manual Ford Ranger. He would like something for Christmas that will help improve its MPG. I'd like to spend around $100 but will pay more if it's really worth it! What are my options?

Not to neccessarily fix my car based on the info, but so I can understand in layman's terms what does what and for informational purposes only. Lots of diagrams would be wonderful!

I have a 1998 Toyota Camry that developed an electrical problem. The electric door locks, dome light, the trunk light, and the dash clock stopped functioning suddenly. The door locks will work if the key is in and turned on, but otherwise won't work. I can't find a blown fuse, and was curious if there might be something else like a breaker or multi switch that I could look for. Thanks.

I haven't taken great care of it and it's overheating. I know I have a leak somewhere as my coolant was empty. I added Peak antifreeze/coolant for all types of vehicles just to see if that would stop it. It's still going higher in temp and my heater heats and then goes cold. Might it be the heating coil? Or just a leak? And can you please find what servicing I need for it at 60000 miles. I'm getting it fixed tomorrow but please tell me what I should be getting done or just so I as a girl don't get suckered.

I have a 1985 Subaru GL-10 wagon that has started running rough once my speed gets up to about 35 mph. I'm suspecting the fuel filters (there are two). I bought replacements, but I've searched the engine and I can't find the old ones. Where are they?

The heater just blows air. The air conditioning and the compresor work good and I have no problems with it, but when I run the temperature button all the way to the hot side (red side), it just blows air at the outside temperature. I've checked the antifreeze for possible leakings, but I don't see anything. Can you give me some ideas where to start?

My car hasn't been starting lately so one of my friends came over and look at it today and told me it was because of the battery. The battery had blue stuff all over the top of it and made it impossible to take the battery out of my car. What am i supposed to now and how do i get the battery out?

okay a few weeks ago my car ran hot and i stop driving it. i got 2 mechanics to look at my engine and water was coming out of it they said it was the head gasket. but then my car wouldnt start either. then the next day it would start but i never drove since it over heated so once the mechanic replace the head and put a new head gasket init will the car still start? in other words does a bad head gasket stop a car from starting or not????

Is there an auto A/C Compressor? I have a compressor with information about its continuous rpm. Suppliers do not give specifications about the torque requirements. I need to drive the auto A/C compressor off a motor, how do I size the motor in this case?

First, a little background. I drive a small front wheel car, a Ford Focus. I scraped my wheel against the curb the other day. I scraped up the wheel's lip a little bit, but everything seemed okay. I don't know that if that has anything to do with the problem I'm having now. When I make a sharp turn, I hear a sound like a metallic clink and clunk. It quickly goes away until I make another turn. Then it clinks and clunks again. I don't know if it has something to do with my wheel, my steering, or my suspension. What do you think? Thank you in advance.

I have a 1998 Acura RL and I live in MN It was pretty cold today and this is my first winter with this car. TOday after school, i went out to it. Popped the trunk to put my back pack in and then tried to close it. I heard that it had not latched and bounced upward. I thought that i was just my backpack covering the latch but it wasnt. So then i thought that maybe the latch had frozen so i went to the gas station and found some lock and latch deicer and put that to work in my garage. Now i just tested it after 2 hours and still doesnt close. I have parked it and disconnected my battery cuz the light wont turn off since the trunk is open. Luckily i am leaving for cancun tomorrow morn and my car wont be used for a week. PLEASE HELP

I have a dual axel 16 ft flat bed trailer. I need to know the torque specifications for the lug nuts. The tires are ST205/75/15 8 ply tires. I believe the lug nuts are 1/2 inch. The trailer uses rims that will fit a Chevrolet 5 hole pattern. I believe it is called a 5/5 rim.
