Yes, I went with a Mazda 3 this time around. I stayed away from red cars and went with a gray. I never was crazy about red.

Thanks. I took it as a sign that a red Corolla just wasn't the car for me and went with something completely different this time around.

They totaled it out. I had to push the adjuster a little, but the guy at the body shop helped me out too. I just got the check yesterday.

Thanks. I had a 2010 S too and had just traded it off for a 2013. Through a streak of unfortunate events I was looking at about $3000 in repairs on my 2010 and decided it would be better to trade off rather than repair since my car had some high miles anyway. I'm just glad I didn't change my...

I've already paid $5000 in to Nationwide in the time I've had insurance with them. They owe me to fight for me now that I've been in an accident through no fault of my own. They are also fully aware that if they don't I'll drop them. It depends on how the claim is handled. Either way Farmers...

I know it's going to be a hard battle getting the car replaced, but that doesn't mean I'm going to give up. Everything someone tells me it's not going to happen that just pushes me harder to make it happen. The car has been moved to the 2nd body shop which happens to be a Toyota dealership so...

That DOES NOT help me. I'm not going to settle for a car that has suddenly depriciated in value by $5000 and will never hold an alignment again and will wear down tires much much faster than it should. If I'd known what I know now I wouldn't have swerved to avoid her. I had the car for only 8...

It's at a body shop now, that's the problem, they haven't included anything mechanical in their repair quote. The whole point is I'm trying to get a complete estimate including mechanical repairs to take it back to their insurance company. I'm fighting hard in trying to get them to replace the...

On Sunday someone pulled out in front of me and my 2013 Toyota Corolla S. So far the estimate I've received is about $7000 for repairs. According to the collision center they are not able to check the axle without obtaining a wheel first. Being that this was entirely the fault of the other...

No the belt wasn't bad. The mechanic showed me there weren't any cracks or anything on it. It only slipped off due to someone leaving the oil cap loose from my last oil change. There's oil everywhere under the hood that needs to be cleaned off.

Thanks. I found a friend of a friend that offered to get the part and replace it for about $700. I ended up resolving the problem.

No, there is no recall and it's not under warranty. The serpentine belt broke about 5 days prior and I believe the compressor may have been damaged as a result. Either way I solved the problem.

It is absolutely the compressor, I've had it confirmed by 2 different mechanics who have looked at the car. No, it's not under warranty when it's got 70,000 miles on it.

Yes it has. Two places have quoted me close to $2000 for the compressor alone and another came in much lower.

Air conditioner compressor. I thought remanufactured would be less expensive, but it's not turning out to be much difference. I checked NAPA, but forgot about AutoZone and Advance. Thanks.
