I wanted to follow up with an article I wrote earlier this year on, “Bill’s Auto Repair” located in Hiawatha Kansas 66434. The article was titled, “A Small Adjustment For The Customer.” I couldn’t understand why Milton the mechanic would not recheck his work on the front hub bearing I brought in. Milton said he would have to charge me another $100 or so in labor to replace the bearing since he did not buy it. I called this a small adjustment since I know what is involved replacing this bearing which he refused to do. With his power tools he could of performed this small adjustment for me under 15 minutes if he really wanted me as a happy customer. He did not know that I have over 25+ years experience working in the private sector as a ASE Certified Auto Repair Technician. I wanted to see how this shop handles its customers.
After refusing to pay Bills Auto Repair in Hiawatha Kansas another $100 to replace a bearing again, I replaced it just to see how bad this bearing was installed by Milton the auto mechanic. I found the 36 mm axle nut was loose which could cause premature wear on this bearing. The next thing I discovered was the O-Ring was crushed, torn, and installed incorrectly by Milton. This could also cause a good bearing to go bad real fast. The spot where this O-Ring was suppose to go was not cleaned and was covered with rust and dirt. One of the three bearing hold down bolts was loose which could cause improper alignment of the new bearing. With all of these mistakes made by Milton the auto mechanic at Bills Auto Repair located in Hiawatha Kansas 66434 I don’t see how I was going to pay him another $100 to screw up another new bearing. The inside of my New tire was wore out which now needs to be replaced. All I wanted was him to recheck his work and warranty his labor.
After finding all of these installation problems and Bills Auto Repair not wanting to honor their ‘Labor Warranty‘, my final review is to stay away from these guys as far as possible. Just because you try to save money by bringing in your own parts for them to install do not believe them when they say the part was installed correctly and you have to pay again to have it fixed. My advice would be to have a reputable auto repair facility document the installation problems and try to get your money back from Bills Auto Repair located in Hiawatha Kansas. Rather than relying on Bill’s to admit they installed your part incorrectly.

is what it sounds like, the flushing and cleaning of your radiator. At least once a year you should have your cooling system inspected for proper operation. The job of the radiator is to help cool down the automotive engine in extreme cold and hot weather. Should your radiator get dirty and plugged up you will notice a rise in your temperature gage. This is where a radiator flush might be suggested by your local auto repair technician.

can become contaminated by water (2% on average) within 1 to 2 years, and in substantially less time in humid climates. Brake fluid (other than DOT 5) readily absorbs water from the air in the master cylinder. This cannot be prevented and changing (flushing) the brake fluid is the only solution. This is how your brake fluid in your car can actually boil and not do its job. Try to have your entire brake fluid flushed out and replaced every two years.

The bad news is if your brake rotors have been turned or resurfaced to many times in the past they will be to thin and will warp almost instantly. You may have to buy new brake rotors if this is the case. 
should be replaced with a name brand company such as Borg Warner. Don't try to be cheap when it comes to having good brake pads. You will be given a choice at the part store with the price ranging from lowest to the highest. Always get the highest so you can have reliable brakes when you need them and they will last longer. The cheap pads will squeak and squeal which is very annoying to you and other drivers on the road. My last auto repair saving tip on your brakes in the summer is to get at least 2 Free Brake Inspection Repair Estimates and go with the one that you feel will do the better job. Don't always go with the lowest estimate.

company called ongsono.com I am sad to say I am very dissatisfied with their customer service . Here comes that old saying again, “If It Sounds To Good To Be True Well It Probably Is.” Don’t let me forget the other one I think it goes like, “ You Get What You Pay For.” Which the answer here is NOTHING! I was pretty impressed with these guys who are claiming to be SEO friendly. So impressed I asked them if I can review their site for

to replacing a worn out and stretched 
, my customers always got their gas mileage increase along with some lost power they thought they had lost forever. I showed them proof of increased gas mileage after I got through with my tune ups. Some of the things I showed them were a decrease in lost voltage on the oscilloscope and the 4 gas readings before and after the tune up. Here are a few more items they were shown and were very happy with:

and a four gas hanging out of the tail pipe making sure everything was synchronized and working before I let that car leave my bay. I also guaranteed them best and better gas mileage! The next time that you get a tune up on your car or truck see if they can perform all of this while you are watching them. I just bet they will tell you that you have to leave the shop area due to their insurance policy. I think the last time I checked, a tune up these days is just changing out your spark plugs. The rest is just an up sell for them. I hope that today’s tune ups in 2011 has improved so you can get your best gas mileage possible.
