l2yan asked: My car needs new weather stripping. Is any old car shop capable of doing that, or should I look to a specific category of automotive maintenance?

I have a car that the clutch went out on and I droped it off at this car repair place over 5 weeks ago. Every time I call to see what is going on they say Oh they didnt call you it should be done tomorrow. On monday of this week my Boyfirend called over there to see what was going on, and the guy was liek oh they didnt call you I feel really bad but some older lady was all frazeled in the lot and backed into your car about a week ago. We are sending it out to be fixed it should be done by Wednsday of this week. Well Yesterday I stoped by to see if it was done yet and the guy was like oh we are sending it out tomorrow they didnt call you? It should be done by tomorrow afternoon. I went over to the car to look at it The hood was up, parts were out, the trunk was open, and there was a huge dent in the door, and straches on the opposite fender. Is this Legal? I took pictures of it all last night. What can I do?

guesswho20002000 asked:
What kind of rental car can I get in a car accident? Someone ran into my and it is completely their fault according to police report. I am filing a claim and I need to get a rental while my car is in the shop. Is there a limit to what kind of rental car I can get? Such as a $ limit or a car comparable to the one I have involved in the accident? And should I have to pay first and have insruance pay me back or should I somehow foward the bills to their insurance? Thanks for any help!

I am planning to buy a used car in the near future and I was wondering if car shops charge anything for a car to be inspected for defects or damages. I was just wondering if you could give me an estimate of what a car shop usually charges before having repairs done. Thanks a lot.

Joe A asked:
New car, had a nasty accident and the Insurance company selected a body repair shop, accepted the shop since I don’t want to go to the hastle of selecting one, and Its being repaired. I’m taking the car after the repair now. I’m worried becasue they might not use genuine parts and I might loose my warranty. I have no clue in body repairs and this is my first time going through it.
1) What things should I consider when I’m taking the car from the body shop?
2) Do I still have the right to ask for repairs if the car is not functional after a week or so?
Please let me know if there is anything else I need to take care of.

cmickeygirl asked:
I have been with out my car for more than 2.5 months the repair shop keep doing a miss and miss, cause to call it a hit and miss would be lying. To this day the car is not running. Now to release my car it will cost me over $600 for repairs I didn’t tell them to make on my car. Since I have a new car I really don’t care if it sits there for a lifetime, but can they sale my car parts without having title to the car? And I am responsible for the repair cost that I didn’t authorized them to do?
