  • Find an auto shop you trust, stick with them and develop a relationship.
  • Avoid "shop hopping" between different auto repairs shop in order to avoid getting the same repair twice.
  • 2004 Ford Explorer XLT: Sometimes when I'm driving 65 mph or faster, my overdrive light automatically goes on. Why does it do this?
  • The front end of my car shakes when I'm going faster than 70mph. Is this a tire problem?
  • After a routine oil change, why is my car stalling?
  • 2001 Ford Crown Victoria: Why do my windshield wipers stop straight up when I turn them off?
  • Where is a good auto repair shop in Ahwatukee?
  • 1994 Pontiac Trans Am: Why won't the car turn over when I start it even though my battery is fine?
  • 2006 Dodge Charger: My car shows the check engine light with no code.
  • Is over-filling or topping off at the pump bad for my car?
  • 1998 Ford Ranger: The airbag light is on in my truck even though I've checked it out and there doesn't seem to be a problem. How can I reset this?
  • 1999 Lexus RX300: The dome light only turns on manually but it won't auto dim when the doors open and close.
