The electronic car lock button on my Chevy Malibu is loose, and sometimes doesn't lock the car. How expensive would it be to replace the mechanism? Is this kind of car lock repair an easy task for a do-it-yourself mechanic?
This isn't easy to do yourself, especially if a factory-installed security system is connected to the lock. You'll need a factory technician to work on it, and it will most likely cost $300 to $400, depending on where you live.
There are several good companies in that area. One of the best can be found at www.rekeying-locks.com/kansas_city_missouri_mo.php. They will fix any sort of lock you may have.
I just got a Sirius car kit for my VW Beetle and want to learn how to install it myself. Where online can I read about and learn how to install the Sirius car kit?
Your Sirius car kit should have come with installation instructions. If it didn't you can also find step by step instructions here, http://www.fixya.com/Sirius How To Install.
You need to do this very carefully so you do not damage it. Assuming that you are mechanically inclined you can go to www.TSS-Radio.com/EverythingYouNeed for instructions.
I am tired of paying a mechanic for doing simple repairs on my car. What are good books to teach me about car battery installation so I can install my own car battery?
The best place to read about how to change your car battery is the owners manual. If you do not have the owners manual and want to learn how to fix things on your car Chilton auto repair manuals are good for most simple repairs. Haynes repair manuals are also good, and they make books for most cars depending on the make and model.
I was recently laid off and need parts for my Impala. Where can I get Impala car parts without having to spend too much? Could I get used parts, like from a junkyard, and pay less?
Looking for parts at a junk yard is definitely one option. However, sometimes these parts pay have things wrong with them that are not easy to see. You may do better shopping online at eBay or Amazon for used parts.
