    2014 Super White Corolla S Current Progress

    Jut for your information, keep in mind that if you enjoy the ride, lowering the car can really reduce that smooth, comfortable ride and make it a harsh ride. It can also subject the underside of the car, like the muffler/exhaust system, etc., to damage from potholes, manhole covers, speed bumps...

    Defrosters - Is There a Way to Turn Off A/C

    My advice to you was an attempt to help you avoid over $1,000 in A.C. system repair costs, so I feel it was very relevant to your question. Yes the A.C. compressor always engages when the vehicles defrost is turned on so as to avoid the expensive A.C. system damage I mentioned...

    Defrosters - Is There a Way to Turn Off A/C

    You wouldn't want the A.C. deactivated in the wintertime because the internal moving parts of the A.C. compressor wouldn't be lubricated with oil and would be likely to rust. Then when warm weather comes around again and the A.C. is turned back on, uh-oh! A.C. compressor replacements can be very...

    Corolla Loss Of Power!

    If that is the problem. Again, a professional automotive technician needs to diagnose these issues. I pray you didn't replace a catalytic convertor that didn't need to be replaced.

    How Often Do You Change Your Oil?

    Is the oil filter safely capable of such extended drain intervals without becoming plugged with dirt and starving the engine of oil, resulting in very expensive engine replacement costs?

    Corolla Loss Of Power!

    Possibly a slipping clutch. Any transmission shop should be able to check this out for you at no charge and provide you a written estimate for repairs.

    Corolla Loss Of Power!

    Be advised, don't just call around to auto repair centers asking how much an installed catalytic convertor costs, as that might not be the problem, or only a part of the problem. It needs to be diagnosed by a professional automotive technician. Don't diagnose for the technician, let them them...

    Corolla Loss Of Power!

    This is a classic sign of a plugged catalytic convertor. Call around for diagnosis and repair prices. If you continue to drive it in this state, serious engine damage can occur and the car could even catch on fire.

    Door Lock Motors

    The, "universal", parts that can be had at discount auto parts locations are almost always made in China cheapies that shall we say, don't tend to last too long. Many times used original equipment parts are a better, more reliable and less costly choice than made in China, "quality", parts...
