With the unprecedented cost of filling up your car's gas tank, many families have to decide if that annual vacation trip is in the family budget.  Many families have clear budgets for food and lodging, theme park tickets, and souvenirs, but tend to wing it when it comes to guessing how much money to allocate for fuel.  To help vacationers estimate fuel costs, the American Automobile Association has an online AAA Fuel Cost Calculator at aaafuelcostcalculator.com — The first step in the calculator is to select your criteria:  Starting City, Destination, Vehicle Make, and Vehicle Model.  I soon discovered that the starting city and destination fields are limited to larger U.S. cities and major metro areas.  For example, if you are taking a trip from Sugar Grove IL to Maumee OH, the closest you can approximate is Chicago IL to Detroit MI.  That's a big limitation, in my opinion.  — Still, if you...

I dont if it is just the employee or the whole company. The guy i talked to wasn't courteuos. And He made me feel dumb about cars. I dont know much about it, but i think a little courtesy would be...

How could the entertain the customers if they are not knowledgeable of the products. Then when the product arrived they didn't assisted or instructed me on the product I bought. They are not like the other online store I been using . Jc Whitney is just a waste of...

When I was ordering, Its so hard to check where I can find the item. Ok. I saw my wanted part after 30 minutes, so I purchased a HIGHLAND Arched Aluminum ramp. They say I will get my item within the week, I waited for 1 week and no item came. I don't know now where is the arched ramp I ordered. I haven't got it. Thanks JC Whitney for ripping me off. I need my...

Well it was a very small hole and was hard to find until one day in June when it was hotter than a lobster right out of the steamer! I finally found the leak and a 2 inch gash and bulge to go with it. Well I called around and was told $250 and 3 days to order it! I then said to my self.."SELF" Why don't you look online? So I listened to that little voice and did just that and after 30 minutes I found the perfect spot, then I gave them a call on their toll free number. — — Radiator Barn — — I spoke to a very nice and knowledgeable young lady and she began by asking about my needs. I told her the year and make of my truck and then she asked me to measure my radiator. I gave her the measurements and she looked in her computer and found my radiator. I was told $189 and I would have it by Wednesday (this was on a Monday) and that Shipping was Free. She then...

I was extremely nervous because with a used car, it is difficult to know what you are going to get. I did a lot of on-line research and met with quite a few small auto dealers and private parties. I felt like I was being ripped off by almost every one I met. —     When I started searching AutoTrader.com, I found some very nice cars and most of them were listed by independent, smaller dealers. AutoTrader gives info on these dealerships such as services offered, do they detail the cars, offer financing, etc.  I had been searching Craigslist and mostly found a lot of shady characters. —      I kept seeing one particular dealership advertising cars that looked great. The name of this dealership is C3 Automotive. They are located in Plano, TX. ...

What if they had a place where you could search not only where you wanted to buy from, but also only the model, style and year you wanted to buy? Well they have just such a place AutoTrader.com, it will allow you to search the way it should be, a search that you determine and within the limits you're willing to travel in order to get what you want. — — How it Works — — The search feature on AutoTrader.com allows you to pick by year, model and price range you desire. Once you have done that the ads load and you can begin to choose among them. Want to get even more detailed in your search? Then just click on advanced search options and choose from engine, transmission, color, body type, accessories, fuel type, number of doors and even mileage on the vehicle. — — Once the listings appear you can...

Take a few minutes to check it out; you might save yourself...

Part of the reason for my strong affection for car sites is my love for vehicles and these sites rank among the few that I will logon to even when I have no interest in making a purchase. One site that I was unfamiliar with until recently is Carprices.com, an automotive site that specializes in buying/selling vehicles, financing, insurance, and warranty information. — — Web Site Commentary: — — Carprices.com seems to be an adequate service, but it's not necessarily the best one I've ever used. I originally logged into this site to shop for auto insurance. What I found was that the site was big on insurance facts and terminology, and it did a good job of explaining insurance. But there wasn't much in the way of information on actually buying insurance. I was able to get a quote from Progressive Insurance, and I filled out a generic form which was then sent to several different...
