I just added the ability to add your automobile insurance information. I thought maybe that would be handy to have at your finger tips if you need to contact your insurance company at a moments notice (i.e. accident). I just added the fields of insurance company name, your agent telephone...

Lol...no, your not supposed to keep track of all the stuff I have listed. The options are there for some real automotive buffs. You will be suprised what people keep track of on their cars. For me I basically keep track of the basics so I don't have to look up part numbers when I need parts for...

I just updated the fuel stats section of the website. You are not able to keep track of your fuel costs and also calculate your vehicles miles per gallon.

You need a front end alignment at the very least. The sooner the better. If your lucky all you need is an alignment. Going over a deep pot hole is all you need to cause your wheel alignment to be off. Hopefully that's all you need, but if you are not as lucky you probably have to replace some...

I finally finished the first phase of adding a new feature to the CarBaron.com website. You are now able to calculate your miles per gallon of your vehicles. I will be adding more features to this phase soon. I wanted to get this feature all coded up sooner but with a full time job it was...

Replace the thermostat. Its cheap and easy to replace on most cars. Probably $15 or less at most auto parts stores.

I can understand how people can be leery of putting any information in cyberspace like popular social websites. All information that is stored in CarBaron.com can only be accessed by the account holder with the correct login information. And the only information that CarBaron stores for all...

Me personally I would never pain an automobile with any type of brush. I have painted quite a few cars in my time (auto body was my major at a vocational high school way back when) and painting with a brush will only look great if you are prepared to put in a lot of sweat and hard work to get it...

Grease is tough to take out of fabric. Soap and water alone just won't cut it, you need something to break up the grease. Here's what I have done in the past. Use Goop or GoJo hand cleaner this is specially made to cut down grease when cleaning your hands. Then with a damp cloth with just...

I change my tires about every 10,000 to 15,000 miles. You want your tires to be worn out evenly through out the tire's life span.

I finally received my new logo that I had professionally made for CarBaron.com to better reflect the website. I hope everyone likes it also. Any opinions about the new logo below? http://www.carbaron.com/images/logo.png

If they are in good condition I see why not use them. The only thing I could think of that might be a problem is that the rubber could have "dry rot" that is when the rubber starts to crack, usually this is most noticeable on the sides of the tire. But, if you do see them and if your not drag...

I personally don't think that I will personally sell anything from the website, I just leave that to those that do that better than I can ever do. But I do have a few automotive parts sellers that advertise on the website. I allow one advertisement at the bottom of each page away from the...

Thanks for the encouraging comments. Yes, please try it out. Enter a lot of dummy information and see how it works. You have the ability to delete and edit records. Add as many cars as you like, you can also edit and delete vehicles and of course your account information. It also has a...

I agree with Skippy. Don't go start spraying flammable liquids all over your engine compartment. Before you spend money on a hit or miss solutions just take your car to a good technician if you can. You need specialized tools to really check for leaks in the evap system. A tech will clamp one...

Thanks for your suggestion. I have the font set to 11pixels and I increased it to 12 pixels. Twelve pixels should be good. May I ask what type of mobile phone are you using if at all, or are you using a desktop? Is there a font setting on your phone? I am using an iPhone 4 when I made this...

The small battery in the unit probably wasn't sitting well causing a faulty signal to the receiver. If it's now working I don't think you will have a problem with it anytime soon.

Just in case people are interested the website name is carbaron.com I hope people find it useful and if there is a feature you would like me to incorporate into the website to make easier please let me know and I will see if I can make it work. Again the website is free to use.

It could be that dirt got up between your brake pads and rotors. Dirt gets imbedded into the braking material and you just have to wait until that dirt wears out or falls off the pad. But more likely the anti squeal goo they put on the pads for some reason disipated or not enough of it was...

If your brake pads were recently changed it's a good bet that who ever installed them put in cheap pads or shoes. I once put in some cheap pads with a lifetime warranty from a well known national auto parts chain and no matter what I did to stop the noise the noise never went away. They squealed...
