I hate seeing people screwed over by mechanics. So I offer my services since this is the only site I goto that is not auto related. I am not offering to work on vehicles. I am only dispensing free information. Use it how you will.
Some of you may think mechanics are nice people. They arent. A mechanic will lie to you without problem. Remember he is in sales too. He doesnt make any money if its a quick fix. Just to let you know some of the things I have seen done to friends cars:
-rtv stuck on the parking brake to make the "brake" light to stay on
-rtv stuck in a fuel filter
-an exhaust weld broken, that i welded
-an "adjustment" on the brakes to make the dust shield rub so it sounds like you need new brakes
I have about 10 years wrenching on cars in my time, yes i started when i was 13. I've rebuilt 4 cyl turbos, 4 cyl n/a's, stock v-8's, small block 383's, even a few rotary engines. Never rebuilt a diesel, but i've worked on a few.
So the main point of the thread is, you have X problem. You tell me the situation, any noises, and what, if any, mechanics have told you about it.
Ask away.



Besides, my car is still registered in his name (and HE paid for it), so I doubt he'd do anything to mess it up on purpose. *Sigh* My dad's the bestest!
