There was lots of burnt oil everywhere and the inside of the valve
cover looked horrible.  Lots of baked on oil.  It looked like oily

I'm looking for a qualified auto mechanic in my area(Queens, NYC) to
maintain my 2000 Camry.  What question should I ask to make sure he
has all the right tools and equipment?   Do they need to have certain

having to take off the interior door panel and taking a look?

I have a 2000 corolla and both rear windows have the same problem.  They
will roll down but only halfway up before quitting.  If I wait a minute they

This morning my camry just refused to start. Just when I sat in the car
and tried starting it, for a split second it made the usual sound as if
it were going to start, but then it instantly went off.  I couldn't
hear any clicking sound from the starter either thereafter. All the

I hit a HUGE pothole last week and now my front suspension is rattling
around more than ever before, especially on the right side. When I took
the car to the garage today my mechanic told me my front control arm
bushings were literally coming out of the car. He said both control

I have noticed oil leaks on the back side of the motor (side next to
firewall) the exact origin of which is difficult to pinpoint without a

This is the second toime this has happened. I was told that the light comes
on afterdepressing the gas pedal then trying to start engine. Anyone heard
of this before? If that is the case what would need to be done to turn

We have a 2000 Camry 4-door sedan (4 cyl.) that has been running
fine until just recently, when it has shown a symptom that I'm
hoping doesn't mean transmission trouble.
Once in a while when the car is at a stop (in Drive) and you're

anybody know what's under the metal braid section of the exhaust system
pipe forward of the catalytic convertor.  I have a leak under there and
the rest of the pipe and convertor are just fine.

The Battery Discharge warning light is on (under the speedometer on the
dash).  I did finally end up with a dead battery after a while, which I am
