(Im not sure If I can post this here, if not then please remove and Im sorry in advance). My friend Bob is going through a rough time. His house flooded when St. Louis, MO got a ton of rain last week. The Meramec River engulfed half of Jefferson county. All the major highways were blocked off...

Hey guys, I have a brake squeal/rubbing noise on one of my disc brakes. It only makes the noise when I apply the brakes. I have applied CRC brake grease to the back of the pad where the caliper meets and it stops the sound for about a month and then the sound comes back. Is there a type of...

I know this subject has been covered a lot, but most answers have not been definitive. So I thought that I'd let you all know what Prestone said in regards to running the Yellow bottle All Makes All Models coolant vs. the Silver bottle Prestone Dexcool. I asked Prestone in an email which of...

This may be a goofy question, but I recently got a steal of a deal on a used Stack On tool rolling chest. There's grey paint splatter, permanent marker, stains, smudges, etc on the red paint. Whats the best way to clean all of this off without damaging the red paint? I tried using rubbing...

I'm thinking about changing my low beam headlights out for some whiter-brighter bulbs. Is it necessary to replace the high beams with the same type of bulb, or can I leave the standard yellow bulbs in? I'm also thinking about going with the osram/sylvania silverstar ultra bulbs. This is for...

Hey guys, So I'm thinking about selling the Saturn to get a comparably priced Prius, so I'll owe nothing or very little. I'm not looking for a car payment. I drive at least an hour each day for work and I'm looking for something with much better gas mileage as the Saturn gets 25 mpg. I'm...

Found out today that my 08 Saturn Aura has a recall for the transmission cable. In the bulletin, it says that a flyer will be mailed out to those who own a recalled car. However I bought my car from an small independent dealership/car lot and I am curious to know if a flyer will be sent to me...
