Taller Salvador

The other day, I finally figured out that the new rattle I had in my car was really my tail pipe hitting the car frame. I looked under the car and saw that it had rusted through and needed to be replaced.
Yesterday, I took a little time and went to Taller Salvador, just a few [...]

Car Service

You may be wondering how my car service went. Well, I guess it went fair. There are definitely things that could have been done differently and I would have been more satisfied.
I was almost due for my 80,000 KM service on MY Daihatsu Terios. I bought it new and have religiously taken it to the [...]

Auto Inspections Have Changed

Today, I took a Honda for service to Tambor (The Honda representative in David).
Following that I went to MARCONELA AUTOSERVICIOS for the annual inspection.
The process was different than last year. Last year you needed the title registration papers and that was it. They took photos and printed your inspection paperwork.
Now they are required to test [...]

Feeling A Little Flat Today

When I went to get in the car today, I noticed the left rear tire was low. I couldn’t see any reason, where it was parked, so I drove to the gas station to get it filled up. I was lucky, when I parked at the station, because I could see a large screw in [...]
