    What has happened to customer service?

    Here is another 'back in my day'... I see this all the time...the workers sitting/standing out in the store front taking their breaks...smoking/eating/etc. But here is the thing...it is an image issue. Having workers or anyone for that matter sitting out in front of the...

    What has happened to customer service?

    CFA = Chick-fil-A? If so, I totally agree. If more places were like CFA, CFA would go out of business...or at least not do as well as they do. There are times where I'm just not in the mood for a chicken, but definitely not in the mood to deal with crap-shoot service at the other vendors. I have...

    Am I the only one who can make a mess changing oil?

    It happens to the best of us...I once dropped a 1/2 drive ratchet in a pan of used oil (slipped out of my hands and fell into the pan that should have been moved completely out of the way). Oil came of that ratchet for nearly 2 years. It could be worse...you should try changing the transmission...

    Have to replace a CV boot...

    That's because the boots in the rear are not stressed as much as the fronts...since the front not only have to deal with suspension motion, but the motion of turning the front wheels....which leads to a question... If you have CVs in the front...would it be wise to make sure your wheels are at...

    Drum Brakes Only Lasted 30K Miles??

    Not sure if it is true of all Honda, but on the 2nd gen CRV I had, you couldn't adjust the rear/parking brake like you would with an older American car or truck...where you turn the adjuster to were the brakes were slightly dragging and then your good to go. No, the Honda required a 'procedure'...

    Drum Brakes Only Lasted 30K Miles??

    What tools do you carry in your vehicle?

    Some of you may think that some of the listings here are overkill, but it all depends on where you live and/or have been. I've had the pleasure of exploring around the big western states like Califonia (eastern part), Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, the Dakotas, etc. In those states...

    Insurance companies refusing polices for Hyundai and Kia vehicles in some areas

    By the way, both the Xterra and 4Runner (that I own) have coded keys...which is what H/K should have done in the first place. However, it does make it a PITA to get fully functional copies, if needed.
