    Typical (bad) dealership experience

    Sometimes if you turn it straight to high it won’t make noise. I explained to them if you turn it on setting 2 (2 seems to be the worst) and go for a drive within a couple minutes it’ll start making the noise and once it starts it won’t stop. It does take a couple minutes of being on before...

    Typical (bad) dealership experience

    I don’t think the entire company is bad. I actually think their sales dept is pretty decent. Their service department is in the toilet though. So to add to the story last night the sales manager made the offer to pick up the car fix it and bring it back. I didn’t outright tell him no immediately...

    Typical (bad) dealership experience

    A whole lot of assuming. It came with a bumper to bumper warranty for 6 months or 7500 miles. If they didn’t hear it it’s because they didn’t turn the blower motor on. It’ll make noise anytime it’s on. Didn’t squeak when I drove it I wouldn’t have bought the car if it did. If they’re are going...

    I don’t just hear things for the fun of it. The fact that I’m responding to your ridiculous comment is almost befuddling. What’s there to understand with the clutch thing? It wasn’t hard to follow. Allow me to try again maybe you’ll get it the second time around. I don’t want some random person...

    Typical (bad) dealership experience

    I’m saying my luck some flunky would be driving my car an hour from my house. Part of the drive is rush hour traffic so if the person picking up my car is an idiot my clutch will bare the brunt of their stupidity and negligence. The offer was they would drive out to my house pick up my vehicle...

    Not going to wait and risk burning up the controller and what not, also not many good days left weather wise. It’ll be warm tomorrow so I just bit the bullet and bought one . If I had time to wait I’d order it on Amazon or rock auto for sure. I shouldn’t have to do any of the work since it has a...

    Wasn’t a Hyundai or Kia dealer it’s actually a ford dealer. They just happen to be who sold me the car.

    Costs more than that and it’s kinda a pain to do. Even an autozone replacement was $130

    Typical (bad) dealership experience

    We bought our Kia Soul at a dealer about 1 hour from our home. They own multiple dealers and are the biggest dealer in our area. A few days ago the blower motor started squeaking intermittently. I looked it over check the cabin filter etc and confirmed it was indeed the blower. The dealer said...

    Gdi cleaner and catch can

    What is a good gdi cleaner to use? The throttle body is low down so bonus points for a product that will spray upside down and what not. Is it worth doing a catch can on a gdi vehicle like my 16 kia soul? Haven't ever had to concern myself with this so I am learning as I go.

    New to us kia soul

    We pulled the trigger on a 2016 Kia soul has 89,000 miles is in pretty great shape and best part of all it's a 6 speed manual. Do I need to do anything special to it since it's a gdi? My uncle owns a forte with the same 1.6l engine and it's been flawless. Love the room and utility these offer...

    Cars and driving experience are changing?

    I've thought about this the last couple cars I have bought. (Both cheap cars). I guess the writing is on the wall that combustion engines will be phased out and electric will take the helm. The sounds the noises the smells will all be gone. The feeling of what a car has been for so many of us...

    Pulled the trigger on the 04 for focus with possible head gasket issue

    Drove it all over let it sit and idle ect. Drives great, doesn't overheat, heat works very very well. Needs a muffler and a wiper relay. That's literally it. Everything thing else is in decent shape......kinda unbelievable 😂

    The nasty plugs are full of anti seize that's why they look so gross

    Pulled the trigger on the 04 for focus with possible head gasket issue

    What other tests would you do? I mean there isn't many more tests to do. 🤷

    Pulled the trigger on the 04 for focus with possible head gasket issue

    Had the car towed to my garage and started looking it over. Plugs could be changed but don't look like they've had coolant intrusion. The shop said coolant was going into the combustion chamber. Looking down the spark plug dwells, the tops of the pistons all look like you would expect black...
