My sis accidentally overfilled our ma’s coolant reservoir (2018 Honda HRV). It’s almost twice above the max line. I got a pump and got some out but unfortunately the hose can’t extend deep enough in to fully extract the excess coolant. Tomorrow I’ll get a skinnier hose to finish the job, but my question is, is it safe for my ma to drive the car to and from work tomorrow? And then I can fix it after? Or do we need to keep the car parked until I can finish? Thank y’all for any help you can be!!

My grandma is consigning for my car. However she recently lost her ability to walk and can't leave the house. To make matters worse her is just expired last week. I do have power of attorney but l'm not sure how it works and if it will allow me to do anything consignment. Anyone know what we could do?

My girlfriend took my car to discount tires to get a new set of tires on 4/9/2024 only to receive 4 defective Goodyear tires (oval shaped, which was pointed out by the discount tires manager when we brought it back, vibrating/shaking at speeds starting at 10mph). She said she didn’t pay attention to any of this but once I got home from work and got into my car to test drive it I noticed IMMEDIATELY that there was an issue feeling the vibration through the floorboard and just general instability of my car. I assumed the tires weren’t balanced correctly as I know nothing about cars really. I took my car to my local mechanic that I trust to get them balanced and after 6 attempts at balancing he removed the tires and inspected them then called me to tell me they were defective (ovular) and while doing a road endurance test they were literally hopping off of the rack at 70mph. We were by told by a manager at discount tires that if we got a tow to their location that they would reimburse us for the cost of the tow ($575) as well as replace the tires free of cost.

They replaced the tires, but after my girlfriend went 3 miles down the road the front driver side tire went flat and upon bringing it back to discount tire they stated that the rim was cracked and would need a replacement that they would order from Lexus and install free of charge.

Now on 4/29/2024 discount tires still hasn’t replaced our rim, only given us a temporary rim. The 4 new tires have been holding up but the issue is our claim for the tow was denied by their insurer after being told explicitly and asking multiple managers, even the Vice President of discount tires that the tow would be reimbursed as the original set of tires were unsafe to drive on to their location (45 miles away).

I feel that I’m entitled to reimbursement for the tow and am worried that my car may have received damage/unnecessary wear and tear to the suspension and or axles from all of this that may or may not be immediately apparent. What should I expect? Should I ask discount tire to pay out of pocket considering we were told by multiple managers that they would reimburse us? Not sure how to proceed

Alright, so I'm confused as fuck. My manager gave me a car (2007 mercury mariner) that she didn't want anymore that had a broken transmission. It was working fine, then got all fucky and drove weird and she drove it home. Never got it checked out.

Then she gives it to me, I take it to AAMCO, and they say that it's been locked in third gear as a safety feature because one of the other gears is probably broken, but they really have no idea until they open it up. Their quotes are extreme, and I try to find craigslist guys to fix it. I found a guy that would put one in for a total of ~1500 using a junkyard transmission. But I decided against gambling with a mystery transmission, and was going to junk the thing for $650.

But then I figured fuck it, let me see if I can drive this thing while in third gear and if it'll get me to and from work for at least a little while so I can save money on transport. And while I was test driving it, it ran fine? It changed gears totally normally, I only went to about 40 miles an hour max so that it didn't go into fourth gear.

What's up with this thing? It's clearly not stuck in third gear any more. I switched batteries, so I'm thinking that maybe reset the computer and took the locked into third gear off? I checked the transmission fluid and it was a quart low, so I added a quart into it.

Is there any chance that this problem with the transmission was caused by the low fluid or some other minor issue that has since been resolved? I'm planning on taking backroads into work and not pushing it past 35 miles an hour, but eventually I do want to test the other gears.

Any advice? I'm a car dipshit. Thanks!

At a shop, they say no big deal…

We purchased a car 6 weeks ago. We got a loan with Westlake financial. The payment was due on April 7th. We mailed a money order for partial payment $400. We were going to pay the remaining 72$ on a card, but honestly it slipped my mind. Westlake reached out to me to let me the payment was 14 days late and I immediately paid the remaining balance. I get a call from the finance guy at the dealership saying that Westlake contacted him and told him that we were late on the first payment and they wanted off the loan. I called Westlake myself and they informed me that did place the contract into review once the payment was late due to it being the first payment, but they did not tell the dealer they would come off the loan. The dealer initiated this. Now he is telling us that they will in-house finance the vehicle, which I absolutely do not want. Westlake informed me that they have basically voided out their contract and sent 4500 + 472 our down payment and first month payment back to the dealership.

My question is, are we legally obligated to in-house finance this with the dealership now that Westlake has voided out our contract? I would like to get back our money and give them their car back. We have had the car for about 45 days and driven about 1k miles. Everything we signed is with Westlake, we never agreed to finance with dealership. That makes me think that legally we don’t have to and we can just return this and get our money back. Not sure.

Thank you for any legal advice. (We are in FL, btw)

Such a hoax offering 65$ lower insurance and it’s ridiculously high with NO ACCIDENTS, NO TICKETS, perfect driving record for years. YOU SUCK!

Liebe alle, folgendes: Hab meine vergilbten Scheinwerfer nass aufpoliert von 600, 800, 1000, 2000, 3000, 5000. Dann mit Haftvermittler und 2K Lack versiegelt. 1 Scheinwerfer sieht super klar aus, der andere leider nicht ganz klar. Ok, dann mache ich denn schlechten nochmal. Fange mit 240 Papier an um den Lack runterzumachen und arbeite mich hoch. Diesmal ohne Haftvermittler und 2K Lack. Der Scheinwerfer ist immer noch nicht superklar. Frage: Kann es sein, dass ich den Klarlack und Haftvermittler mit 240 Körnung nicht ganz runterbekam ? Sollte ich ncohmals mit 100 anfangen? Oder ist es einfach noch nicht genug aufpoliert? Ich dachte mit 240 bin ich schon hart? Was meinen die Profis? Danke!

I found a place I like to take my car for an oil change. They do a lengthy inspection of the car while doing the oil change. Then, they present the issues they found and offer to do the work needed. How seriously do you take the suggestions like these when you get an oil change? I had an inspection like this done when I went to the dealership once for a repair. When I later mentioned one of the items to my local mechanic, he said that it didn't need to be done at all. How do you guys handle this?

Need help on purchasing my car after my lease is over. I have a 2020 Honda Insight with 30k miles. Iv done my research and have a gist of how this works. Per the contract the residuals value of car is $11,874.

Can this price be negotiated? For example if I have the cash in had? Would it be better to refinance?

I know used cars are in demand now, so just wanna do what’s best financially.

(Also I know my lease was a long one, I was broke and desperate in 2019)

I can’t decide on my next SUV! I have a Kia Sorrento and my lease is up on Monday. I have two kids, ages 1 and 3. I have bucket seats now which are great for the car seats. The only features I really need are non-cloth seats and heated seats. The Kia Carnival, Telluride, Palisade are too big I think. I really don’t need a 3rd row. I don’t use it. It just gives more trunk space. Any thoughts on Honda CRV, Pilot, Hyundai Santa Fe, Toyota Rav 4, Highlander or something similar price range. I get thrown off on prices increasing with the trim levels. If I want the Hyundai Santa Fe with bucket seats. I have to get the highest trim level so for that spend is it better to get a telluride mid-level trim to get that instead for example

I have bad driving record & bad credit. Any insurance options in Texas?

I bought a brand new Nissan Sentra with maybe less than 4,000 miles on it while making $500 payments on it. Nevertheless, my car was hit by a drunk driver and was totaled and would cost $26,000 to fix. I know the drunk drivers insurance will have to pay for it. Yet, I have gap insurance on it but I want to know how much I will get from my Insurance or how much they should give me?
