The Dodge owners prayer:
"Oh lord, I am an unworthy sinner.
I have made the horrible mistake of buying a car from Detroit,
For which I Beseech your forgiveness.
Please Lord, after you smite the CEOs of GM Ford and Chrysler,
And my idiot mechanic...
I most humbly ask that you check under the hood.
And also, give me the wisdom to buy a Toyota next time.
Amen."
You could also try St. Frances of Rome. The patron saint of motorists: http://www.catholic-forum.com/saints/saintf10.htm

Actually, if you are a child of God this is not an odd request. God will help in all areas of your life. Just pray that He helps you with your car, the words don't matter, He sees your need.God Bless and hope your car is running soon.

pray to God that you will find a good mechanic that wont rip you off. I dont think HE will fix your car for you, but you should have faith in him and he will probably send someone your way to help you in your time of need.

St. Jude, patron saint of lost causes. But you have to pay him. Seriously, he requires public recognition by means of a personal ad.

I think you need St Jude , he is the patron saint of the impossible. You can pray for a need not a want.

Definitely pray, but take all the human means to get it fixed.
God normally acts through natural causes and our own common sense.
He performs miracles only when something we need is beyond our reach.
