Here’s the rebate form:
The image to the left is the under-hood of a Chevy pick-up. The customer’s concern was for a slow loss of coolant and this coolant loss was a bit of a mystery. Neil, the owner of the truck, reported that he would have to add a couple quarts of coolant every two or three weeks. His truck was always parked inside a garage and there was never any evidence of a coolant leak.
This problem is seen primarily on GM’s cars and light trucks. Here’s how it starts. [Read more...]
Q1;
The tire pressure warning light has recently started to come on most every morning. The display shows 2 to sometimes 3 tires being low in pressure. None of them look flat or low. After I drive the car for 15 minutes the warning light goes out and I don’t have the problem again until the next morning. The dealer checked and set the tire pressure to specification and told me it was a temperature related problem. I heard that when they break they’re expensive to replace. So, why should I even have these sensors on my car? When they break why should they be replaced?

If you live in New Hampshire or any northern state, you may not want to own a Nissan Leaf. The Leaf electric car does have major short comings that could leave you stranded on the side of the road.
The Leaf has an estimated driving range of 70 to 100 miles under ideal driving conditions. For many of us, this range would work just fine. Imagine..no gas to buy just drive home and plug it in and you’re ready to go the next morning!
The Great White North has a way of bringing out the best in us, but how can a car with a 70 mile range become a 20 miler in the winter? Not a great roadside thing in February during a cold snap; wind chills that make 17 degrees feel like a heat wave after the wind stops.
The cause for this mileage short fall? [Read more...]
