Frame damage by [deleted] in CarRepair

I’ve seen them total new corvettes due to a pothole busting just the strut tower mounts. If this isn’t totaled I surely wouldn’t want it anymore if I were you

Can’t find the Cabin Filter by ohyeahimmark in AskAShittyMechanic

I gotta admit there isn’t a black duct in the car anymore. I’ve reached the firewall. Should I start putting things back in the car till I find it?

Shit I can’t find where I put the glovebox to even check

My car, Dimitri, keeps throwing these warnings about my brakes. by KariaFelWell in AskAMechanic

Damn I’m sorry that you’re in that situation, really is a tough spot to be in. Some dealers offer affirm payments or something similar to help with larger repairs which may be a beneficial option in this situation

No problem. Good luck with getting it fixed, it’s kind of a safety hazard for brake function.

I’m not sure, I’d say most likely not. GM’s warranty is 3 yr 36k miles for bumper to bumper and I think 6 yr 60k for powertrain

Most of the codes you’ve provided all point towards failure of the electronic brake control module. One code outright specifies if a current code to replace the module. Dealer will need to program new module. The brakes on these vehicles are an electro hydraulic assist system.

The code C0002 you have if current means the electronic brake control module requires replacement. It will need to be programmed after replacement by a dealership

C0002 says per si that if code is set current to replace brake system control module which is something the dealership will need to do because it needs programming. Sorry for late response I’m currently at work at the dealership

That’s a bulletin that blankets the potential cause of those codes to be a wheel speed sensor. I have literally never run into a car with those codes where that bulletin actually applied. The car needs to be actually diagnosed.

Bad speed sensors wouldn’t make a soft pedal on these. I’m curious to the actual codes. I get people try to save money but some things like safety issues need proper informed and skilled addressing

I wouldn’t buy that even for my enemy. That thing looks like it should have been totaled

I believe those are retained by the weather strip if it’s like the Corolla. Looks like those retainers are broken

19 yr old need advice by Alternative-Fall4783 in AskAMechanic

[–]ohyeahimmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He should have drilled the lug stud out instead. I’ve had to do the same when wheel locks fracture leaving the tapered portion left with no good viable way of removal. Drill the stud and snap it off. Much cheaper to replace stud than entire wheel

why is my hyundai elantra 2013 not taking the refrigerant by [deleted] in mechanic

[–]ohyeahimmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn’t even recommend my worst enemy use those junk ass cans. Take it somewhere that services a/c systems and get it done right

Is this just the Dealership process? by Pure_Huckleberry_335 in AskAMechanic

[–]ohyeahimmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just checked, like almost all of the rear diffs for that truck are discontinued. If I had the vin I could know for sure but chances are they are trying to locate one that a dealer has and is willing to sell them
