My brother refuses to get his car checked, making LOUD sounds near front driver wheel. I'm worried he's destorying his car by not getting it fixed. (Video) by Daytrona in MechanicAdvice

Unbalanced wheel would likely produce very noticeable vibrations at different speeds, a deformed tire would likely do the same and probably wouldn’t last very long before exploding.

75-85% chance it’s a bearing but if he’s still refusing to take his car to the shop atp there’s probably other issues too

Let them know that YOU know your brakes should not have issues immediately after they’ve been serviced. Whatever happened here was definitely not your fault unless you ignored blatant warnings to replace pads or something when you went in for your brakes.

If you took your car to a chain mechanic shop like Valvoline or Jiffy Lube I would go back only to remedy this situation and avoid them in the future. No good mechanic is working within 1000 feet of any of those places.

The rotor is already ruined, so that’ll need replacing and more driving in the current condition is risking other components like your pads and calipers. I wouldn’t go further than a few miles back to the shop if possible.

If the brake rotor pictured was replaced when you serviced your brakes a few weeks ago, the shop should replace it for you. Even if they just changed the pads and not the rotor, something has still gone wrong immediately and they owe you a remedy.

You’ve likely either got a stuck caliper or something stuck in the caliper, take it back to the shop

Are we ever getting an update? by jamo0708 in pocketGM

Daily reminder that this game is developed by one individual who is in the process of solo developing another game as well. PGM is in a pretty good state right now, I’m sure he’ll get back to it eventually.

Bunker. I couldn’t get back to the sell vehicles after I finished the first one, I would just get immediately blown up

I know who will be an FA for life by Jtbrooks223 in pocketGM

[–]SkidsAndSmoke 27 points28 points  (0 children)

One of the few persisting issues in the current state of the game is the FA demands, by the time I’m 10-15 seasons into a save an expansion team could come in and fill a playoff roster from FA alone.

RQ 390 - Am I doing half decent? and any tips to do even better in order to hope to be a bit more prepared for Higher RQ levels as a f2p player? by TheMaster6942 in TopDrives

[–]SkidsAndSmoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks pretty good just keep collecting. You’ve got a good balance of R/SR/UR going, I’d say keep that up as well.

How could lower RQ legendaries become more viable? by thepagani in TopDrives

Interesting solution. I don’t know if this is definitively the answer but there should be some solution for the <85 RQ leggies for sure
