You usually will want to get an estimate in order to determine if your car is worth fixing. Many times, if it is your engine, it is not going to be worth fixing.
That depends entirely on how much you value the car.
Yes, car insurance can pay the value of the car instead of fixing it. This will happen when the cost to fix it is greater than the current value. It is then not worth fixing, from a financial perspective. This is what is meant when you say that your car has been "totaled" (it was a total loss).
A few things you have to look at- How old is the car? Except for the bad head gasket, does the car operate OK? How many miles are on the car?? These are things you have to decide what you will do.
The engine went out on my car, is it worth putting another engine. They are charging me $500 for the engine and $300 for labor. $800 total
Pistons are a major part of the engine and if one goes bad there ain't no fixing a piston, replacement is necessary.
The type of car antifreeze that is safest to the environment is propylene glycol antifreeze. While it is still not totally safe, it is less toxic than other antifreeze.
My dad puts antifreeze on his car.
no but antifreeze in oil will eat the bearings
We always renew the antifreeze in our car before winter.
Yes, if the car is in decent condition with a good transmission and no major engine problems.
the antifreeze runs through all your water lines in your car . . . . you put it in your water tank or radiator
