taylorjoseph+FollowI heard a bang on a dirt road and now my car is missing a piece. Needed a pro ASAP.I was driving out on a slightly rocky dirt road when I hit a major dip and had to swerve a bit to make a U-turn. Right after that little maneuver, I heard a thunk and saw something fall off the back of the car. I did not get any warning lights come on, and I drove another 30 miles to reach the town where I am staying for the night. The car seems to be driving completely fine, but I still had a quick look underneath. It looks like it came off a missing plastic section in the undercarriage near the back. I did not see any vital looking mechanical pieces missing from the area, just that one section of plastic. Please tell me what exactly this piece is and how concerned should I be about driving another long distance tomorrow😑😂 #CarTrouble #MechanicHelp #AutoRepair #CarAdvice #Cars 98Share
dennis03+FollowMy mechanic said I need a new tire, but he couldn't even tell me whyI took my 2012 Mazda 3 in for a look because it is making a clunking sound after I hit a jump. The mechanic said I needed a new control arm, which makes sense to me. But then he told me I also needed a brand new tire. I was pretty confused. The tires are only two years old and I can't see anything wrong with them. I asked the mechanic what the problem was and he just ran his hand over it and said he could "feel it." He gave me no other explanation. I also thought the price was ridiculous. He said it would be $150 for just one tire. I paid about $300 for a whole set of them on sale at Walmart. This is not a dealership either, just a new random guy I've never seen before. Does anyone have a clue what he could have been talking about? #CarTrouble #MechanicAdvice #DIY #CarRepair #AutoRepair #HelpMe #HelpNeeded #CarTires 82134Share

malonestephen+FollowFound a Mysterious White "+" on My Car. Should I Be Worried?I just noticed something weird on my car and I have no idea what it is. There is a small white plus sign drawn on the left headlight. I do not remember seeing it there before. I got my oil changed about a month ago and that is the only work I have had done on the car recently. I have no clue if they did this or why. It is really strange. I am a little worried what it could mean. Any information or theories would be a big help 🙏 #CarTrouble #Mystery #HelpNeeded #StrangeSigns #AutoRepair #WeirdFinds #Cars #HelpNeeded 607335Share
