I'm not worried about the brake discs or suspension but I have no experience with underside corrosion or steering mount corrosion. Would this be an expensive fix?

My new wheels have been vibrating going 40-70 I went to the tire shop and they said I needed hub rings the wheels are supposed to be Lug centric I’ve been trying to get hub rings but no one makes them even custom what shall I do put tape on the hub 😉

Does anyone know how to fix/restore or prevent the clear coat from flaking/peeling? A very thin layer of my clear coat is flaking off and peeling in some spots on my car. Also, Should I park under trees instead of the sun? Any tips on detailing is much appreciated

My bf is having issues with his car where his wheel steering wheel will jerk, he’s saying it’s a suspension problem and needs coilovers rev9 as a solution to the problem he’s having and asking me to go half with him on it he’s into German cars and dogs his cars out bad. He’s been talking about wanting coilovers way before the wheel jerking began to happen, is this there anything else that can be done other that paying for coilovers I’m trying to save my money I’ve already had to help him pay for registration and I feel like he just wants the coilovers for cosmetic purposes.

Hello everybody. About 2 weeks ago I got my car back from an auto shop. I had to leave my car there for over a month for important repairs. I left the car with my Cosmis XT 206 R wheels. Despite a lack of communication on their end, I was happy with the work they had done. I had also gotten my power steering pump replaced last summer and they did a good job too. I found out at some point while they had my car that it was parked out on the street multiple times. The shop told me they were having a hard time getting an ECU for my early 2000s model Lexus, and that’s why it took so long. So, even though I wasn’t comfortable with my car being parked on the streets of Chicago, I gave them the benefit of the doubt due to my past experience.

I test drove my car when I went to pick it up and all the problems I wanted fixed were gone. As mentioned I was happy. It wasn’t until I got home and wanted to wash my car that I noticed. My $1k wheels were all curb rashed. Two of them were really bad, really bad. The other two had minor damage. I had bought the wheels with tires and they had the smallest amount of curb rash. The shop had to of known this since the last time because they complimented me on them and asked about them. I called them the next morning and told them the wheels were badly damaged. I mentioned how much I take care of the car and remember exactly how I left it. They took full responsibility and said they would get them fixed, but weren’t able to because they were badly damaged. They offered to buy new wheels or to pay me. I took their offer on the wheels, but they said they’re on back order for an estimated two months. I took the offer anyway and told them I would call again to receive any updates.

I want to know what you all think and what you would have done, any advice in general would help. The main guy in charge has been super nice, but I don’t trust anyone. I apologize for the long post.

Hi all,

I live in Atlantic Canada, lots of salt in the winter. I have just purchased a new gas tank for my car as my current one has fuel seeping out of the top of it when it is full. It's pretty rusty! I bought a Liland IHY14A, it says they are powder coated and painted with anti-corrosive paint but it doesn't seem like there is any kind of rust protection. Should I paint or spray it with something? If so, what do people recommend?

I’m trying to help my uncle sell his 2002 Lexus LS430. It was running fine when it was last driven but it’s been parked for over a year now and I can’t get it to start. The battery was dead so I replaced it with a new one and added 5 gallons of fresh gas to the nearly empty tank. The engine turns over just fine but it won’t start. After several repeated attempts at starting, I smelled gas in the tailpipe so I’m pretty confident it’s getting fuel. The air filter and intake pipe look fine. Any ideas on next steps? Pull/replace the spark plugs?

I saw an 06 Corolla about 110k miles which caught my attention. Bout 5800 listing

Looks in decent shape but the vehicle hasn’t been moved except for inspections the last 2 years.

Is this an indication of a lemon?

Hi all!

Walked out to my car today to find out I got hit on the corner of my rear black powder coated bumper. Never been hit before so I’m trying to figure out the best way to kind of cover up/get rid of the scratch marks in a way that’s not obvious that it’s been hit and covered up.

I’ve only had this car 2 weeks.. so sad. 😔

Any good/not super technical suggestions (not great at arts and crafts and I’m certainly not a body mechanic) are super welcome!! It’s a Jeep Gladiator OEM black rear bumper.

Thank you so much for your guys help! 🙏🏼

Both my traction light and check engine light came on at the same time.

For the last month, there’s been a not so loud tapping noise under the car, but it seems to have gone away now.

Before I bring it in to the shop, does anyone know what could be wrong?

Also, I have to make a trip to a city that’s about a hundred fifty miles away on Sunday, and return home Monday. Should it be safe to do that?

Hi y'all I'm pretty much new to cars as a whole. I like the Porsche 944, and i was wondering if there exist other cars, older or newer, that have the same shape. I love the well defined edges of the Porsche 944 and i wonder if there exist other alternative cars that look similar. I don't care if they are powerful or not, thanks for your suggestions!

I recall seeing at a car show in the northeast US in the late 80s an early 70s Camaro that had, and this is all I remember, a 707 shotgun motor. There were photos of the thing pulling wheelies off the line.

Google doesn't seem know know anything about it. Was the 707 shotgun an actual production engine? Or am I just remembering it incorrectly and it must have been a heavily modified stock engine?

Looking for a midsize car.so many options I like, but I don’t know much about vehicles so I need your guys help. I will be driving about 100 miles a day for work and looking for something super reliable and not a crazy gas guzzler. My 06 sonata is 21 mpg so looking for something better. Looking into accords, Camrys, Kia, Corolla(not midsize but is an option). I hear a lot of negative about Mazda and sonatas and elantras but idk they look cool lol just don’t know if they are super reliable. And if there are any options I should be looking at I will look at anything thanks a lot everybody!

A few months ago I had an accident during inclement weather - couldn't control the vehicle because it was on a lot of snow and ice on a road that went downhill. I braked way in advance, and it was enough to slow the car down and make the collision very minor, but not enough to prevent it altogether. The airbags were not deployed in either car. My car's bumper cracked rather extensively, but there was no functional damage, only cosmetic. The other car got damaged even less - only had a little piece bent out of shape. The other driver got out and appeared uninjured, she was walking and talking with no issues whatsoever.

If I were her, I personally wouldn't consider that little bent piece even worth the time of replacing the bumper, but if she found it necessary, fine. However, yesterday I found out she apparently also claimed injury compensation too. And what's worse, my insurance company deemed me at fault, compensated her for both car damage and injury, and closed the claim without even notifying me! So I'm only finding that out now, over two months later...

I find it really hard to believe she could have any sort of injuries from an impact so minor, let alone nearly $6k's worth of injury. But when I asked the representative if there's any kind of evidence I can submit to prove the other person wasn't injured if I ever find myself in a similar situation again, she basically said no, as there are supposedly injuries that only transpire later. Apparently even a phone video of the other party walking and talking fine would not amount to anything. So does that essentially mean that the not-at-fault party can lie about all sorts of injuries with impunity? And the only way to protect yourself from this situation is to do your best to never get into at-fault accidents in the first place? That's utterly ridiculous if so...

Also, figured I'd ask that too: is it ever a good idea to talk directly to the other party or to the other party's insurance? Or are you always better off talking only to your insurance?

As the caption says I’ve read saying it’s not safe and should be replaced asap it’s not in the side wall or anything and my car probably does like 50mile a week maybe 100mile

It’s been coming from under the car so I looked under it and think I’ve found and exhaust leak, how can I fix this and how much would it cost ?

So I just recently had my car fixed with new spark plugs and a distributor, but it still shuts off on me, I’ve replaced the map sensor, and got new spark plugs and a distributor, but it still cuts off, I have checked battery terminals they are tight, I just don’t get it, then when I cuts off I have to crank it like 7 times to get it started it, this only happens with a passenger in it mostly but today it started doing it with me only, like I have no answers besides a bad iac sensor but wouldn’t it just idle weird? Idk any help would be appreciated

Okay. It is obvious Mazda is better. But...Okay. It is obvious Mazda is better. But...

I am looking for a car and I have narrowed down my choices to two models. Fiat Tipo and Mazda 3.

My ideas for a perfect car: 2015 or younger, 120+HP, combi preferebly or big boot, automatic transition, 12.000euro, cheap insurance and affordable parts, not likely to be stolen (I live in Warsaw - it is safe but Japaneese cars tends to dissapear).

It looks like Fiat ticks all the boxes. Am I mad to choose Fiat over Mazda?

How bad would it be to run with a missing bolt in a rear differential?

Changed the gasket because my diff was leaking. Went to put that bolts back in and ended up snapping two heads off. Got one bolt out with an extraction kit but cannot get the second out. It's the very top one so thinking it may be ok to run with it missing?

Hey everyone, I'm new here. But I'm looking for some assistance and finding somebody who can help with smogging my BMW in southern California. Specifically San Diego. Does anybody have any connections?
