Even if the battery is bad, the alternator should provide enough power for the compressor when the engine is running. Sounds fishy to me. Also, per m444, that battery replacement cost is out to...

I think I asked for and received a 25-30% discount on my extended warranty. They're a high-margin item for the dealer (which is why they love to sell them) and there's room for them to move from the...

I bought the Audi extended warranty and a third-party wheel/tire warranty for my car. I ended up making a claim for a ruined tire but probably not enough to cover the cost of the latter. However,...

You don't need to replace the caliper, since it's the big black thing that fits over the rotor (which holds and squeezes the brake pads). I bought pads, shims and sensor from a dealer but others have...

Unless you noticed vibrations before changing your pads, I wouldn't bother, as all you would do is unnecessarily remove material from the rotor. If you do notice vibration, you likely just have some...

19s are the smallest wheels that will fit over the front brakes, and even then offset is critical. I use 19" OEM wheels for my winter tires and you can barely put a folded piece of paper between the...
