Ok guys, I have a question. Is it necessary to take your car in when the air bag light comes on? Also, my engine light came on while I was enroute to work Friday morning. That afternoon, it went off. My husband was going to take it in to the shop on Monday. It's a 2003, Dodge Intrepid. We really can't afford an automotive expense right now and was just trying to eliminate some unnecessary work. I have all my credit cards paid off and cancelled and really didn't want to have to get another one.

Thanks!

IT may be a minor things like a tune up, oil change , spark plugs etc. do the lil stuff first. then find a mechanic who does free estimates. and wont work on anything til you agree to a set price. dealerships are often more. some colleges have a mechanic school for them to practice on cars. and once you know what parts you need, buy yourself and just pay for labor. [; unless they have to special order. my folks got this book on their specific model. so theyll know what to ask for at parts store. oreilly and advantage are reliable , at least customer service better from my exp.
