    Windshield replacement 2013 Honda Civic ?

    Ok. I will get the acoustic glass. I will use the independent company since the price is lower than Safelite and my previous experience with them was good. - Thanks

    Windshield replacement 2013 Honda Civic ?

    I need to have the cracked windshield on my 2013 Honda Civic LX 4 dr sedan. This will be an out of pocket repair. The quote I got from a reputable independent auto glass company who used several years ago for another car is - $240 standard glass, $290 acoustic for mobile service with tax. The...

    Did QuikTrip lose its Top Tier rating?

    This is disappointing news. The nearby OT has been my preferred gas source for many years. Convenience, price, and Top Tier rating are all factors in using them. There are no Top Tier rated stations as conveniently located and the pricing is higher. Maybe at this point, I should just buy gas at...

    Adding a transmission oil filter on a Honda odyssey 2006

    On of the filters with magnet stuck on the outside seems like a great idea, but since the is no bypass valve, I wonder how long it would be safe to leave it on between changes ?

    2013 Honda Civic ATF flush and filter change

    It is mounted on top of the transmission sort of under the air filter housing. On the other Honda models that had the inline filter, I could access it from under the car.

    2013 Honda Civic ATF flush and filter change

    I am preparing to flush the ATF and change the inline filter on a 2013 Honda Civic. From what I have read, it looks like that I have to remove the air filter housing to access the ATF filter and the filter inlet line is on side of the filter closest to the crimp. I have done ATF flushes several...

    Rearview Mirror Adhesive

    I have used the Permatex Professional Strength version of rearview mirror adhesive from Walmart 2 times. It lasted about 8 months each time. The price was $2 and is now $4. Maybe the price is higher because it is a new formulation and better (I would hope) ? ) I wonder if the :permatex Extreme...

    are rebuilt alternators good?

    Some of chain the auto parts stores sell a "pro" model new alternator made in Asia as an alternative to their reman for a bit more. The pro model that I saw at Advance Auto Parts was made in Malaysia. I have no idea if they are the same mfg as Remy. They do have the store "limited lifetime"...

    are rebuilt alternators good?

    I just replaced an Ultima remanufactured alternator (from Oreilly's Auto Parts ) in a 2005 Ford Focus under warranty. It quit generating voltage. I also noticed a slight bearing noise after removing it. It lasted about 3 years / approx 30k miles. Not great and yes I have seen worse.

    Replacing bad alternator in 2007 Honda CRV

    @MrPlow -Good idea. The core charge on the new one is only $5. I hear you and everyone else about the parts store alternators (reman and new aftermarket from China). I am also looking in to renting a car for day or two for a reasonable rate and getting the alternator rebuilt locally (my...

    Replacing bad alternator in 2007 Honda CRV

    The closest local rebuilder does not currently have any of these alternators on the shelf and told me that it would take a day (meaning 2 20 mile trips) which I don't have time for (would require me to rent a car for a day or two). Based on the comments here, I should purchase the new one...
