Dave’s Free Car Repair Advice

Subject:  95 Cadillac Seville Rear Brake Line

Question:  How much will it cost me to have rear brake lines repaired? At the moment my car is not movable. Your help will be appreciated.

Mack, since I don’t know the extent of the damage or if it is just from sitting, it would be hard to estimate. Especially if you are going to do the repairs yourself or not.

Either way brake lines and most brake parts are not a great expense since they are usually easy to get at from underneath and therefore rather quick to repair compared to other car repairs.

Hey Dave! I’m a friend of Ken’s and was told to get in touch with you regarding a question that I have about getting my windows tinted.

I live in Phoenix and work in Tempe, so anywhere in that area that you could recommend or questions that I should ask before getting it done would be a great help! Thanks!

I had my windows tinted by a shop that only tints windows and this place was at about 115th avenue and Bell Rd. on the South side of Bell next to an Auto shop. I took a recommendation from another friend to go there.

Subject:  1995 windstar/wiper work only on high

Question:  Hi Dave, need help with my wipers they work on high speed only.

I recommend only driving in severe storms… Just kidding.

It sounds to me like the wiper switch is bad since they do work on high.

If the switch is on the turn indicator it will not be an easy fix and altering the wiring is not an option. If you have a dash mounted switch you are in luck, I don’t recall on that vehicle specifically.

Tires can sit on the shelf for years before being purchased - but they do have a shelf life.
