[work]Anyone need their car fixed?[views:6794][posts:34]_________________________________ [Oct 17,2009 5:41pm - sxealex ""] Mo fuggas i broke lemme fix yo car at my shop |
| _____________________________________________ [Oct 17,2009 9:49pm - MarkFuckingRichards ""] Can you do transmission flushes? Balance and rotate tires? |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 17,2009 9:54pm - spaldino ""] i can do that shit so im guessing he can as well |
| __________________________________ [Oct 17,2009 10:04pm - Martins ""] Apparently my serpentine belt has cracks in it and I'm pretty sure something is iffy with my breaks. How much does that kind of stuff cost anyway? |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 17,2009 10:11pm - dertoxia ""] i have a 99 nissan pathfinder and the check engine light keeps coming on. I've taken it to a couple different places and can't get a straight answer. I'm told the code was p1401 i think which looks like its for a leak in the emission control system. But i dont know if it was the same code every time the lights come on. Also it's starting to make a clip-clop noise from the front left like a fucking horse. I know i need front brakes which is my next scheduled repair. I'm hoping the noise might be caused by the brakes. I just had to get a new exaust. One shop quoted it over a grand. I took it to the place i got it from and they looked up all the parts and charged me $425. I just broke 100,000 miles and im starting to feel like it's beginning to fall apart on me. I've had the damn thing almost exactly a year. Thing is i'm in NY so chances of me driving out to your shop are pretty slim. Any advice would be pretty sweet though. |

Balance and rotate tires? i dont have the proper equipment to do a REAL transmission flush yea i can do tires but I use another shops equipment for that havent been able to buy a decent tire machine yet so you would have to leave the car a couple hours. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 17,2009 10:14pm - dertoxia ""] actually the code might've been p1440 |

How much does that kind of stuff cost anyway? depends on the car front pads and rotors are usually like $250 with parts and labor |
| __________________________________ [Oct 17,2009 10:17pm - Martins ""] 99 Nissan Pathfinder just like Dertoxia. I'm just curious on the prices. I don't really have a whole bunch of money to spend on my car right now. Plus, in two months I'll be back at school not using my car. |
| ___________________________________ [Oct 17,2009 10:19pm - dertoxia ""] hah thats pretty weird we have the same car, yours isnt red is it? |
| __________________________________ [Oct 17,2009 10:21pm - Martins ""] sahara beige haha fucking gay color name, it's just gold |

First off get that front end checked out ASAP ball joins and tie rods breaking = bad accident. the code 1401 is an egr valve 1440 is an evap canister could be a leak in a vacuum or evap line. sometimes i try to spray a propellant shit near the parts and on the lines and see if the cars idle changes when it does i can narrow the leak down. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 17,2009 10:23pm - sxealex ""] btw i weld exaust so sometimes its like 60- 90 bucks to stop hearing crazy sounds from your exaust and no new parts except a length of generic pipe. |
| _____________________________ [Oct 18,2009 2:13am - |an ""] how much to put a new (or used, don't care) ignition cylinder in a 98 saturn sl1? (2 door, manual) my key has been sticking for awhile and I await the day I'm stuck somewhere stupid and it won't turn on. |
| _________________________________ [Oct 19,2009 6:30pm - sxealex ""] Yea a key cylinder will be around $60 and I'd do the ignition switch at the same time if i were you($80 extra your choice) $150 labor either way. If you drop it off in the morning we will have it to you by 5 or 6. I can probably give you a ride within a reasonable distance. |
| ____________________________________ [Oct 19,2009 6:42pm - ArilliusBM ""] somethings rattlin' when I have the AC or heat on/off |
| _____________________________ [Oct 19,2009 7:04pm - |an ""] thanks man, i'll let you know |

| ______________________________________ [Oct 27,2009 10:39pm - avalonwinds ""] 01 Volks, My check engine light blinks, and it runs/idles like shit, lots of lost horsepower/acceleration. Friends are thinking its uber clogged fuel injectors, but after a few months of putting injector cleaner additives to my gas, still no improvement, think its the O2 sensor? Wheres your shop located? |
| _________________________________ [Oct 28,2009 1:38am - sxealex ""] have u done a tune up? if it blinks it means its misfiring usually |
| _________________________________ [Oct 28,2009 1:39am - sxealex ""] im located in lexington , ma on the border of lincoln in some creepy ass building btw |
| _________________________________ [Oct 28,2009 1:40am - sxealex ""] anyway it could be alot of things so best way would be for me to see what codes it has by plugging in a scanner so hit me up if you wanna stop by |
| ______________________________ [Oct 29,2009 10:25am - |an ""] i'm not going to fix my ignition just yet but my friend needs some work: 2000 volvo s40 - needs coolant temperature sensor |
| _________________________________ [Oct 29,2009 10:46am - xmikex ""] I have a 94 Homer from Powell Motors. One of the fins is falling off, and I think there's a crack in my bubble dome. What can you quote me? |

It does it more when it's off but does it when it's on sometimes. |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 29,2009 11:02am - FuckIsMySignature ""] i might have an emissions problem that needs to be fixed in order to pass inspection |
| __________________________________ [Oct 29,2009 11:05am - Martins ""] stahp fahtin' |
| ____________________________________________ [Oct 29,2009 11:09am - FuckIsMySignature ""] i faht in your genaral diRECTION |

It does it more when it's off but does it when it's on sometimes. so wait does the sound have anything to do with the heat and or fan. or is it just there all the time whether the heat/fan is on or not. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 29,2009 11:45am - Martins ""] I need my car spayed and neutered. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 29,2009 11:57am - sxealex ""] yea sure its like $450 to remove any balls your car may have. |
| _____________________________________ [Oct 29,2009 12:08pm - ArilliusBM ""] it's really annoying and rattles moreso when I turned the heat off. never had it fixed. |
| __________________________________ [Oct 29,2009 12:14pm - sxealex ""] well it probably the blower motor if it has anything to do with the heat. bearing is probably bad in it. |
| ____________________________________ [Nov 8,2009 6:52pm - Beorht-Dana ""] The heat in my car no longer works. It still blows air but the air is cold regardless of the heat setting. Is this the kind of thing you might be able to fix? I really want to get this fixed before it gets really cold. Your garage is in Lexington right? |
