RepairPal.com, the free online guide for car owners

My husband loves his Saturn. He says it's arguably the best car he's ever owned. Like many Saturn owners, however, hubby is grieving because GM decided to discontinue the line. But that's another story for another day.

As any car owner knows, auto parts wear out – even if you’re good at performing scheduled routine maintenance. Repairs, such as brake rotor replacement, are sometimes necessary. If you’re like me, you hope that the mechanic does the job quickly and professionally – and that you don’t have to sacrifice your next two paychecks to pay for the work.

If you live in the Dallas area, online resources are available to help you identify shops that provide Dallas auto repair. RepairPal.com offers a great deal of free information that's useful to car experts and novices alike. For instance, if you need a brake job, all you have to do is fill out an easy form to learn the estimated cost. In addition, you can quickly locate auto repair shops near you.

RepairPal.com boasts other cool features -- owner ratings and reviews on virtually any type of car or truck. My husband and I are in the market for a second vehicle, and we try to make informed decisions.

Say, for instance, you owned a Chevrolet Silverado. Enter the year of your vehicle on the online form, and discover lots of valuable information. Read other owners’ reviews and ratings. With a few mouse clicks, you can learn common problems associated with the vehicle. You can even check for automaker recalls.

RepairPal takes the mystery out of auto repair. If you live and drive in Dallas, auto help is just a few mouse clicks away.

A salute to spring




A salute to spring

To walks
To strolling
To kicking rocks across the street
To holding hands
To silly jokes
To laughter for no particular reason

To incredibly blue skies
To astoundingly white clouds

To nights so black
To stars so twinkly
To the man in the moon smiling down

To clearing a patch and planting seeds
To tomatoes free from tomato rot

To rainy days
To stormy nights
To cold mornings

To hot coffee
To bologna sandwiches
To chocolate chip cookies

To happiness
To spring
