• Why customers deny car repairs that may be necessary.
• Important maintenance you should never skip.
• Why modern vehicles last longer than those in the past.
• 2014 Volkswagen Passat: I’m having a TDI issue. Is there a shop you’d recommend to look into this?
• 2008 Nissan Pathfinder: I’m finding that I need to let off the gas for my car to shift into the next
• gear. What is causing this transmission issue?
• 2004 Toyota Corolla: I’ve been using more oil than I think I should be, but I don’t see any leaks. What
• can I do to resolve this issue?
• 2006 Ford F150: I recently had my differential replaced after water was found inside. I’ve noticed some
• noises however- is this common with aftermarket parts?
• 2008 Cadillac: After recently purchasing this vehicle 4 months ago I’ve noticed an oil leak. Should I
• expect the dealer to repair this?
