My name is Kerri I have always worked on my own cars My brother taught me back in 1990 Tune-up, Brakes, how to check fluids. I now own a 2007 pt cruiser, bought it last year. It had been sitting for a year so a few things needed to be done Replaced cam sensor I replaced spark plugs Air filter Oil change Radiator flush In the last 6 months i have Done back brakes/pads Bought new Battery Put new Bulbs for rear brake lights I just looked on YOUTUBE Step by step so easy. My Air Conditioner isnt working I live in fresno ca I would really like to get this done professionally Over all i always try to save money and do the labor myself. Which always brings gradification every time. Plus, i love learning new things working on my car is no big deal. I have close friend, when i dont understand how to , he shows me step by step.

My baby daughter who is a single mom and pregnant owns a 2003 Saturn vue that has been sitting at the garage for a month! The mechanic can't seem to fix it. He said she needs to bring to a dealer. She don't have enough money for that. She is a hard working mom that also takes care of me! Her disabled mother. Her cue would throw fits and not start.then about a month ago it just broke down right in front of this garage. The mechanic there did a tune up. He put it one the computer and it keeps telling home that different wires are misfiring!! He can't fix it!! He did a lot of other work to it also. What does my 23 yr. Old daughter have to do?? We have no money BC she lost her job BC she had no way to get there!! We live in the mountains of Pennsylvania. There is no public transportation here. I don't own a car. Now we have no way to get food shopping or to the doctors! Please email me @ jacquita Heidler@gmail.com thank you

We just purchased a 2006 Chevy Uplander. We got it incredibly cheap because we needed it, other car engine blew, I have been out of work since 2009 and now have RA. There is some front body damage to the van, and the left side head lamp needs go be replaced. There are so many "FIX THIS" alerts coming on, we're not sure what should be addressed first, of course the head light needs to be done and oil changed. I think it needs new plugs and wires. Traction system needs to be serviced. I know I'm forgetting things I have to get these things fixed as cheaply as possible because of my health issues. Any advice you can give as to what, where we should start first? Thanks!
