Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    Re: Which one?

    Email them and say that. That's ridiculous. Tell them that now you won't be taking your car and you will also not be recommending them to anyone else.

        Re: Which one?

        This car is becoming a nightmare...I just got a call from the mechanic and the damn car didn't pass the smog...he said it didn't pass because the last tune-up wasn't done...he charges $300 to do the tune up...is that a fair price or should I take the car somewhere else?

        I shouldn't have skipped the mandatory mechanical classes I needed before getting my license...

          What do they care of for the tune-up where you want to take it?

          We charge $249.95, for 4-cylinder cars, (add $10 for V6 and add $20 for V8), and we take care of the following:

          -Oil Change
          -Air Fiiter
          -Fuel Filter
          -Transmission Flush, Plus Fluids
          -Coolant System Flush
          -Spark Plugs

          Mainly, those. We also top off all fluids and rotate tires. But if that guy isn't doing all of those, it's not worth it.

            $300 - 6 spark plugs, Wire set (?), rotor and cap (can't understand his hand writing) and air filter.

            $390 - for all of the above plus fuel injection and fuel filter

            $340 - for all of the above minus fuel filter...

            I didn't ask about the tire rotation...

            I'm probably gonna go with the guy that charges $340 since he was recommended to me by a friend who knows about cars...

            Now there is another thing that I notice...the steering wheel is a little loose...I did a search on the web and apparently there is either something loose or parts need to be replaced...

              $300 and all they do is change the plugs, wires, and the cap? If so, don't do it.

              Let me give you a break down on prices, so you can get a better idea. These are average prices, not just what we charge.

              Oil Change - $20
              Air Filter - $20
              Fuel Filter - $20
              Transmission Flush, Plus Fluids - $99.95
              Coolant System Flush - $59.95
              Spark Plugs - $5.99 each
              Spark Plug Wires - $30
              Fuel Injection System - $79.95

              We usually do the whole tune-up, plus Fuel System, Brake Flush, and more, and it's not more than $350. Try not to get ripped off. Isn't there a Discount Tire Centers near you? Should be.

                I already did, and it's my fault...I'm an idiot. I should have done the damn smog before I bought this piece of crap (I actually like the car). I just called the previous owner and she is like: "I'm so sorry about that, I feel so bad, let me know if there is anything I can do for you..."

                Well, I told her I'm not going to change the title to my name til all the problems are solved and that if I had known the car had so many issues, I wouldn't have bought it. I'm going to the DMV tomorrow to see what I can do (I just heard I can't register the car as a new owner without passing the smog)...depending on what they say, I'm just going to let her know that I would like to have some of my money back...

                  Good luck. If she asked if there's anythign she can do ask her to cover half the cost of the stuff you have to do or something like that. I don't she's legally obligated to do it though, so if she's willing, take it before she changes her mind.

                      Re: Which one?

                      I have some good news (at least for me!)

                      So I went to this mechanic my roommate recommended, and I get there and the guy (who's a little older than me) starts hitting on me...I ended up getting a very good deal for my tune-up and he'll also fix the transmission (there was a leak) for only $400... He thinks that after that I'm going out to dinner with him...


                      But I won't...not my type...
