Please help! Serious answers only. I just bought a new car a couple of months ago. I got a cigarette burn on the driver’s seat behind my back. Is there anyway I can fix it quickly? Do those little car upolstry repair kits work? My family doesn’t know I smoke!!! Please help! :~(

What is the material that is used for car dent repair? From what i’ve seen it looks like a sort of putty, browny/beige in colour?

Also where can i get it? And how difficult is it to use?

I have a 1992 Chevy Lumina APV. My radiator was leaking, so I put in a bottle of stop leak, and filled up the radiator with water. I ran the engine for under 10 minutes, when the mixture resumed leaking from the right side of the radiator. I tried backing up, only to find I now have no reverse gear and when I put my car in neutral it goes forward! However, it still works in drive. Are these two problems related, or is it just a coincidence?

I got in a car accident on Feb, 11th. Here’s what happened. It was raining and my car couldn’t stop all the way at the intersection so it slid past the red light. The other driver, coming from my perpendicular left, seeing me slid, decided to speed up to avoid a collision but instead my car hits his rear tire and scratches/dents his bumper. We agreed not to notify the police or our insurance companies. The damage on his car was minor so he said that he’ll just do a wheel alignment and give me a call a week later about repair cost. He called me today and told me the repair cost is going to be $1000. 500 for rims and 500 for the bumper. So I was wondering if I can get it repaired for cheaper. I’m planning on going to the junk yard to find used rims which he agreed to but I still can’t believe the scratch/dent on the rear right bumper is going to cost me $500. Here are pics of his 2001 Tahoe.

Dented rims.

We agreed not to contact the insurance company at this point. My 99 corrolla is much more damaged than his scratches but the accident is still considered my fault since I hit him. So if we do contact the insurance company, how would would my insurance rise by?
We both have each other’s insurance company and driver’s information. I’m pretty sure I dented his rims because I hit his rear tire. Right now, I’m a student so I’m paying about $300 for a 6 month insurance. How much would the insurance go up by? Would the insurance go down eventually if I don’t get an accident for a period of time? Should I contact my agent? Wouldn’t they want to find out about my accident so they can raise my insurance or should I keep them out of it?

I need to have three things done to my car. I need to change the wheels on the front and back of the driver side (meaning I have to take the tires off of the old wheels and put them on new ones and then put the new wheels on the car) I also need to have my back brake pads replaced. I’m supplying the parts. How much should I offer to pay a 3rd party mechanic for these services?
