Definitely alot of car enthusiasts on this board.

This is certainly a skill I would like to have but unfortunately I do not know my way around automobiles.

Do you just work on the trucks or the cars as well? I am asking because I rent cars quite a bit and am alwasy wondering just how beat up they really are.
 
I JUST WORK ON THE TRUCKS....THE CAR SIDE IS NOT FAR FROM OUR SHOP...ITS BASED AT THE AIRPORT...WE ARE RIGHT OUSIDE OF IT.....

AND YES...THE RENTAL CAR...AND TRUCK INDUSTRY VEHICLES TAKE A BEATING....JUST YESTERDAY WE HAD A TRUCK THAT HAD TWICE THE AMOUNT OF OIL THAT ITS SUPPOSED TO HAVE IN IT...THEY DRIVE EM TILL THEY HIT REV LIMITER, THEY STEAL EM OF LOTS...ANYTHING YOU CAN THINK OF....IT HAPPENS TO A RENTAL TRUCK OR CAR.

I'm just a hobbyist. I do spend a lot of time at my friends' shop though. 2 friends who started out as hobbyists that opened up a shop. Started from front yard installs, but grew like a snowball rolling downhill. Most recent job was rebuilding the engine and putting in another clutch on the shop Evo that's going to be at the SuperStreet shoot out tomorrow at Willow Springs.
I'm countin' those M's now/ Those O's come straight off the Benz now...not the 550, more like the 65/​
 
Working on cars is what I do most. By far my favorite hobby. :pimp:

Not to thread jack but I have a quick question. I know different factors play in but on average, how much would a full body paint job on a sedan run for?

small traces of rust near the wheel wells. Other than that, its pretty good. Small scratches here and there and dull/worn on the hood and roof.

I'm tryin to get my altenator fixed right now.. Lowest price I was quoted so far was like $220 for 3 hrs of work

How the f does it take 3hrs to change a altenator.


God I wish I knew how to work on cars.
Love me, hate me, or simply tolerate me
 
My car hesitates when i dont give it enough gas or at low rpm's. Is this something that a tune up should fix? Also when Im in reverse and go into drive it takes takes a few seconds to engage. Can any of you car guys help me out?
 
My father and I are mechanics. Thats his Job and its my hobby. Hes certified. Im not.
 
I usually just have my bro. come by and tell him I need help....then sit back drink a beer and watch him work... :wink:

WE NEED AN OFFICIAL CAR THREAD OR WHATEVER. I cant find a good one forum that talks about Camaros. When I have found one nobody ever posts anything. So yea we should take this into consideration. LIke to post questions or anything about cars because niketalk is a big community.

any1?????????????????
