Finally after a year we have a vehicle, but wouldn't ya know it, it has a few issues. What's a woman supposed to do??
If your car is newer than 1966, this little device can be plugged into your dash to diagnose what's wrong with your car..it's what mechanic shops use.
Once you know, you can buy the parts and fix the car yourself, ask someone to help you install the parts, or you can take the car to a generic mechanic and tell them exactly what to fix.
Here's a link to one on Amazon:

Well...I suppose there's no time to take an auto mechanics class? (Sorry..not funny.) I'd ask around my friends to find a good, HONEST mechanic and bite the bullet! GOOD LUCK!
