Im a L1 ASE, Kia Senior certified with 20 years of Experience and this is the my 2nd year I’m barely going to hit 40k at most, is it even worth it?

Got hit on my way to school is my car fixable? 2022 Toyota Camry

Driving in my street down my home then it just shut off. Had a mechanic come by and said that engine was screwed. I’m posting in here to see if I could get any second opinions? I know it’ll be harder to diagnose over a video but I figured I’d give it a shot

Whining noise from what I imagine is potentially the clutch pulley on my compressor. Looking for feedback.

When I first got the car, the AC was intermittently warm. Seems like perhaps the clutch is only engaging at certain times. I planned on doing the pressure switch but ended up getting AC vacuumed out and recharged.

Recently belt has begun squealing leading me to believe it is indeed an issue with the clutch on the AC compressor, but I’m still unsure.

Started this whining yesterday

I’m in the market for a Tacoma. Found a 3rd gen TRD sport with the 3.5L V6 and 120,000 miles. The car fax shows regular maintenance, oil changes every 4,000-6,000 miles. Asked for a video of it starting up. Is this a normal sound for it? Or should I avoid this one and keep on looking? Possibly thinking it’s rod knock or the fact that Toyota calls for thin oil and this video was taken in Miami while the car was sitting outside in the heat wave. Thanks in advance for any advice :)

I cannot believe a collision at 12mph caused total loss. Thought it was just going to front hood, headlight, front + quarter. Turns out it resulted in a pretty bad kink in the front frame, AC compressor, and prb more in damage. 4.5k in initial estimate to 11k+. Sucks. Representative in phone even said that she seen cars get totaled for just need suspension re-work - is that possible??

2015 Toyota Camry SE 2.5L 4-Cylinder

Hey guys, I recently rear-ended someone and need to repair my car. I was planning to take it to a mechanic, but I’m running low on money, so I’d like to try fixing it myself if possible. Does it look like my bumper needs to be replaced, or is it just coming loose and needs to be reattached? Could there be a loose part underneath or behind the bumper that I need to fix? I’d really appreciate any suggestions or advice on what I should check before buying any parts. Thanks!

So I just replaced the brake pads and rotors on my 20510 Ford F150, and now when I speed up it sounds like a literal train speeding up, it only comes from the left side. I really do not know what to do. I have take it apart three times and can’t find the issue.( when I look it up it says that the rotor is tighten by the wheel and the nuts). It sounds very faint but it’s bc I took the video on the left.

So recently, my manual Chevy cruses gear shifter started to show it was time to get a replacement (picture one). I had used to drive jeeps and other cars where you could just screw the thing off and put on a new one. So I go into this thinking that and by time I have the it off and I get a good look. I realize it’s held together by plastic fasteners and clips (kinda pic 2). I still need a new shifter but I wouldn’t know how to attach it minus some bootleg stuff like supergluing it on. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction?

If anyone knows about any cool shifters they’ve seen please put them in the comments! I’m not sure what I’ll replace it with but I’d love any parts/inspo

2023 Kia stinger gt2. Can’t tell where it’s leaking from. Only making 10 psi max. Checked all connections. Have intakes and bovs. Stops instantly when throttle lets off. Sounds normal in park when revint.

Hello, my truck has started making this noise creaking noise whenever I apply the brakes. The truck is a ‘19 Chevy Colorado 3.6L Z71 with 75,000 miles. I checked the undercarriage and didn’t see any loose bolts. The rotors look and feel smooth. The brakes are also working fine.

Can anyone help me identify the problem before I start pulling the suspension apart.

Someone’s selling me this fixer upper. A/c blows but doesnt cool. Mechanic said it has a leak outside, is that what’s in the pic? Thanks v8 2016
