Yeah, but based on my findings, I hear it's a thief magnet. Not sure I can deal with that, not when I don't wanna go the expensive tracker route.

Is it a good practice to remove the brake shoes on the rear wheel of a toyota corolla and replace them with brake pads, just like the front wheels

No no that a bad idea sir. Because the manufacture who did it there no what they are doing. They caculate the pressure that will take the fluid to the rear wheel, amount of fluid, the movement of the wheel. E.t.c

. Hello sir. a carbon (dirty) has been cloged up in your car system. Which mean your engine need a (tune up) and a computerized scan also. That is the reason why your car does not idle properly. Note : scanning comes befor engine (tune up). Thank you

Hello sir. Repairing the pump is just a waste of time and money. It is better you change it completely. And as for the price call the workshop manager and tell him you are from (shegzthecarguy) 08165520837 Or 08156087872. Thank you

Good morning.I use Toyota Camry 2007,I observed that my traficators are no longer working(all 4),I called my repairer to fix it,he said it was the flasher,he changed it,and it was working again.The following day,in the morning I started the car,lol and behold it was not working again even till I got " to and fro " where I went that morning.Later in the afternoon,I started the car again to use,it was working. The following morning,I started the car again it was not working,I had to call my repairer back again,he had to change the flasher again,and it was working.This morning again it did not work while going out,even while returning it did not work.On getting home,with vexation I had to call my repairer to come fix it again,only for him to come,start the car,it started working again.

Intact am getting tired with this ,traficcators problem.I have observed that it doesn't work most often in the morning when I start the car to use,but often in the afternoon,it will work.
Please what could be the cause of this?
Also do you know the price of this " Flasher", new and Belgium?
Cos my repairer says,new one would not work for my car,and he has been using Belgium for my car.

Thanks.

Good morning, I have issues with my Honda accord 2000 model steering rack. The one that came with the car got bad and had to change it. The supposed new one gotten for me was refurbished and got bad in less then 10 days. The mechanic is currently on the run.I need a replacement and servicing of the wheels in totality, kindly send cost.
