Took my car in today to get the gas tank fixed so i can fill it and check on a rattle in the dash. This pretty much means that they have my whole interior out of my car. I'm so worried. It seems like everytime I take my car in it gets some kind of a boo-boo. What are they going to do while taking out the whole interior???

I had a mechanic when I owned my '77 Z-Car. Everytime I would tell him about a problem I had with it, he would say "Loose nut behind the wheel"

Put some AC/DC on the ipod. Crank up the volume. No more rattle

Unless you have a subwoofer without ample audio insulation like me.. lol the volume can make it worse... but that usually works up to a certain volume, I also have a sqeak on the drivers arm rest that is driving me crazy, it's where the two fake leather peices meet and it's ridiculous... I may try and use some armour oil or something???.

Sucks about the car though, if you are able to pinpoint it to their error see what they can do to fix it.

I agree...when it is just me in the car with the radio cranked, I never hear it, but it is embarrasing when I have someone in the car and it is making that clicking noise.

I remember having one car with lots of clicking and clanking in the dash. The Customers 4 year old thought the air vents were coin slots. I recovered like 5432 coins from the vents. Later on the CD player wasn't working. There were a million coins stuffed in the CD slot as well.

My son received a box of VHS tapes from an Aunty a year or so ago. We only have 1 VCR in our bedroom so I took him in there to watch a tape. I feed the tape in it spits the tape out I feed the tape in it spits the tape out. I know I have not used the VCR in year but what gives. I turn it over and start shaking it out come puzzle pieces, hot wheels, crayons all kinds of crap I look at him getting ready to start my talk and he quickly says Maybe mommy did it

Word to the wise, don't leave change and kids in your car unattended. My boy filled up the Cd player in our Odyssey with change and its never worked again. On the bright side, we listen to 100% fewer Disney cds.

My daughter watched Mary Poppins so many times that we had to hide the tape (years ago). We were all so sick of "A spoon full of sugar....." we could all puke.
