Have you ever been driving somewhere and as you were driving down the road, your car dies. What do you do? Who do you call? This is exactly what happened to me earlier this week. When I first bought my used Ford Escort, I was very hesitant on what would happen if someday my...
Recently I saw an ad on TV that said I would get a great deal on a new car at Botnick Chevrolet. The ad was one of those push, pull or drag your trade in ones where you get a minimum of $2000 or so for your trade. So I drove in with my...
I was looking to replace my car that had been in a wreck with a newer Honda Accord. So I saw an advertisement for Brickell Honda that basically stated that they were the lowest priced and best service Honda dealer in Miami Florida. So I decided to give them a shot and visit their...
I took my Jeep Grand Cherokee to Wal-Mart to get an oil change. Not had to wait in line for about 20 minutes before they came out to ask me what I wanted done and then they said it would be about an hour before it was finished. So I went inside a Wal-Mart...
I don’t know about you, but I had the unfortunate experience of using Advantage Rent a Car on a business trip in Austin Texas recently. I booked my hotel stay online and then I found that Advantage car rental had the best rates for a full-size car for a week’s rental in Austin Texas....
I replaced my old Chevy Silverado truck with the newer GMC Sierra truck. I got a fairly decent deal on the truck and it had everything I wanted and more except I wanted a bedliner to protect the truck bed. When the deal was written up at liberty Pontiac GMC in Matthews, North Carolina...
I had rented a Budget truck to go from New York to Florida – I know that’s a heck of a long trip, but I was moving my stuff due to a military transfer. Before I took the truck the owner of the Budget truck rental place told me that the truck was in perfect shape...
I had been wanting to replace my Ford Explorer with a newer one for quite some time. I happened upon an advertisement in a local car shopping magazine where I saw that Harrelson Nissan in Rock Hill, South Carolina had a newer Ford Explorer and in a color that I liked at a great...
I had seen all of the advertisements claiming that the new Turtle Wax Ice synthetic ar polish was the future of car protectants and the most advanced treatment out there. It was a little more expensive than what I’m used to with Turtle Wax. Normally a bottle of the same size of Turtle Wax...
Recently my cars check engine light came on. It’d start running rough and becoming hard to start. It would also loose charge just sitting idling at a red light. So I drove my car into the local Meineke car center and have them take a look at (the reason why ticket to Meineke was...
A while back, I took my car to Monro muffler to have a brake and rotor fixed. Apparently I had bought a used vehicle that the previous owner had bent back the brake indicator on so I didn’t know they needed to have the brakes changed immediately. Normally most sets of brake pads come...
I went to Jiffy Lube recently and unfortunately was charged far more than I bargained for. I went in to get the basic oil change and had a coupon so it should have only been around $15. When they finally came to me with the bill it was $113 and some change. I said,...
The other day I was looking to buy a newer car. So I wanted to Town & Country Ford because I saw their ad in the newspaper. It looked innocent enough and that I would get the best deal as that’s what they promised in their ad. So we went to the car dealer...
I was looking with my wife to replace on of our cars that was coming off of lease. The lease was almost up and we had to decide whether we were going to buy that car or get another one. I decided I wanted to get another car, especially seeing some of the rates...
Last summer I had planned a trip to New York and needed to rent a car becasue I couldn’t rely on the car I have. I had looked around at different deals and prices that were the cheapest and would work with taking the long trip. I had looked at the companies around Charlotte,...
I am originally from New York, so I always thought that Nascar was the most boring sport of all. Whenever I would try to watch something on Sunday, I would always find myself passing by the Nascar Race on Fox. Anything is better than watching cars make a left turn for 500 laps in...
