Re: Swamp Auto Repair
There are so many cheap ones..I mean they show up on wish all the tim. Maybe worth going to AutoZone and seeing what they recommend so you get a decent product and not something that will short your ca

That's what I was referring to, it looks like the cheap ones are ODB I.

Probably a local locksmith shop? Our local one sells and programs key remotes. It's probably cheaper than going back to the dealer.
And his one problem is he didn’t go to Russia that night because he had extracurricular activities, and they froze to death.

Re: Swamp Auto Repair
So, as fun and exciting as it is to get two and a half times more snow than normal, it turns out that leaving a car under all that snow for six months is not a great idea. Even as late as a few weeks ago, the car was completely buried. Yesterday, I went up there, and enough snow had melted away that I could finally see parts of the car - including the smashed-in windshield.
The roof might be dented in as well. And I have no idea how much water has gotten in through the windshield. I shoveled the remaining snow off the windshield and roof so that no more will melt in, but otherwise there's still too much snow for me to move the damn thing.
I really hope this is covered by comprehensive.
Meanwhile, on our other car, we just had to pay $250 to replace the fucking sun visor. And they want $500 to fix the center roof console that keeps falling out. FFS.

Re: Swamp Auto Repair
Damn. I would think the smashed-in windshield would be covered. I mean, hail is covered on a parked car, so why wouldn’t snow? As for the visor? Yep. I just tried to get my Altima driver-side sun visor replaced, and the dealer wanted $240 for the visor alone. So I went and got an aftermarket replacement visor from Amazon for like $20 (cough) Shanghai (cough).Steve of phpBB wrote: ↑Fri May 05, 2023 11:22 am

Re: Swamp Auto Repair
Finally decided to get new tires last week before I went to Austin and then to Louisiana. Ran over a nail at some point since, so that's fun!
well this is gonna be someone's new signature - bronto
Re: Swamp Auto Repair
Got the nail patched on Monday. Leaving at 1:30 today for DFW area for a wedding. As I'm in line at Canes for my daughter's lunch, I notice something shiny on my tire. Yup, a screw this time! I guess I'm glad I noticed now instead of at some point on the road, but still.

Re: Swamp Auto Repair
I bet its all the undocumented people crossing the border with pockets full of screws and nails just trying to mess up the days of very nice americans.
Re: Swamp Auto Repair
Not really, no. But there's construction all over the damn place so I'm sure that's where it came from. Luckily Discount Tire patches them for free, but not in time for us to take the truck today. It's just funny that I didn't have that issue once in my old tires.bfj wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2023 2:31 pmAre you driving through a lot of construction zones in your neighborhood?Giff wrote: ↑Fri Dec 15, 2023 2:20 pmGot the nail patched on Monday.

Re: Swamp Auto Repair
When the hell did oil changes start costing 100 bucks? New battery and oil change running nearly $350. I have to think there's a significant portion of the population that has to make a difficult decision when it comes to that. I can pay it but ffs.
And fuck you advance. Went to get battery checked and lady couldn't because she was only one there. SO I said I'll replace it if I can borrow tools (wife's car - - my truck has some) but NOOOOOOOOO it's a liability to use their tools. Fuck off. Happy fucking christmas season douchebag.
