    What's the Limit on Disc Brake Pads Before Metal on Metal?

    My understanding is that 2 MM is when pads should be replaced. I'm just curious how far down the pads can wear before reaching metal on metal? One half MM, One Quarter MM?

    Windshield Replacement: At your house, or at the shop?

    Apparently, a lot of windshields and other auto glass is replaced from a van or truck that comes to your house. Maybe I am being silly, however, I feel more comfortable taking the car to the shop. I get the sense that most people let the truck come to their house to replace a windshield...

    Car Accident Questions

    A couple of months ago, I was at a complete stop when someone hit me from behind. We pulled over and looked at the damage to my rear bumper. It did not look bad enough to get an estimate.
