What else was replaced with the compressor? And why was the old compressor replaced?

FWIW, the AC on recirculate in my '02 Silverado blows 39°F at the vents regardless of outside temp. Creeps up to mid-high 40's if it sits idling long enough. 207K miles on the original components. Usually when the air temps won't maintain while idling, it could be simply a sign of a less than...

Yeah, but when their company says they will ONLY pay for aftermarket parts...what are going to do? When I went through it, that's what I was told. My rear bumper needed to be replaced...they would only pay for a reproduction bumper. I demanded original GM brand. Went around and around and around...

My 1979 Camaro. Replaced the factory gauges with Autometer Phantom electric units into a custom bezel. Converted the cable driven mechanical speedometer with an electric unit. Calibrated it and it's spot-on with the GPS on my phone. Turn signals, parking brake and high beams are all wired to...

I agree with letting YOUR insurance handle it. That's ultimately what you pay them to do. Several years ago, my truck was hit...the other party's fault. I thought I was going to show them who's boss and deal with them myself. What a freakin nightmare. While I ended up getting what I demanded...

BP has a non-advertised spec that puts their ethanol blend up to 10.25%. Their theory is that that little boost will increase the octane rating just enough that your car may feel a hair more pep....meaning you'll like their gas better. Nearly all the brands I load...if I preset the meter to...

Go to each of the providers' websites and enter the new address. You should be able to see the price/speed available from each one. Choose the best value. We have ATT here in my rural subdivision. The best that's offered as of now is 18mbps...but it's been pretty consistent and reliable in the...

Mid 90's around here.

Is the engine still making any noise since the issue was corrected? Honda engines are pretty forgiving and very well designed. She may have gotten lucky and not damaged it to that point. She won't need a lawyer. Like mentioned above, they've acknowledged the issue. They know it was their fault...

Which is fine if you like a little more ethanol in your gas.

I like a combo of Centric high carbon rotors and Wager OEx ceramic pads on any truck/suv. The high carbon rotors withstand the extra heat from stopping a heavier vehicle and are more resistant to warping and/or cracking. The OEx pads are among the best I've used yet. Next to zero dust, quiet and...

They're blending 87e10 and 93e10....then you are getting 89e10. They all have the same ethanol content. The same is true if I load mid-grade on my trailer. If I preset the meter for 1000 gallons, the 1st 100 gallons is pure ethanol. The other 900 gallons is a blend of 84 and 90 CBOB.

I'm totally aware where the ethanol comes from since I drive a fuel tanker. It's loaded/mixed as the product is loaded onto the trailer for transport. Here, 90 octane CBOB (Conventional Blendstock for Oxygenate Blending) + 10% 111 octane ethanol = 93e10 gasoline. 84 Octane CBOB + 10 % 111...

That won't work everywhere. I have yet to see E85 anywhere in the region I live and work in. Even Quick Trips and Race Tracks don't have E85 here. Also, our octane ratings are different. Our "regular" is 87 and our "premium" is 93. I haul a good bit of "90 Rec" gas which is basically the 90...

Yes, it does.

I'll chime into your points. First of all...you say the ratio is high for complaints/claims? Lets crunch some simple numbers since statistics are a good way to look at things. The last quick lube shop I worked in serviced roughly 25,000 vehicles in a calendar year (Jan 1 to Dec 31). Out of that...

@DaveSwan, I see you're in Atlanta. What kind of vehicle specifically are we talking about? Did you get the issue resolved? If not, and didn't mind driving towards Athens, I'd guarantee you I can remove it with zero damage. Won't charge you a dime either.

Ditto on the above. The only time I EVER even take the top off the master cylinder is if I'm bleeding the system. Under normal conditions, you should never ADD brake fluid. During a pad swap, when you compress the caliper pistons, it will push the fluid back into the master cylinder and will...

Good for you. You want us to throw you a parade? If you want to quote my comments, you may consider quoting where I said "no shop or chain is perfect"....that includes dealerships. I can't even count the ridiculous number of screwed up oil plugs I had to fix/replace over the years on vehicles...

You kill me with this. So you expect us to believe that a bulk oil tanker showed up with used oil (pitch black with metal shavings) to put into your bulk tanks? I call absolute Beeee Esssss. I don't think there's a a legitimate quick lube owner in the country that is stupid enough to put used...
