It is the piece that flops open and then you remove the cover to the actual gas tank to fill in gas. It broke off and it looks like all it needs is some crazy crazy crazy glue.
I have the actual fuel door, so I do not need a replacement. I need to find a way to get the door back onto its hinges. Toyota Camry 01 (maybe 00 or 99)

Hi, I just bought a brand new Toyota RAV4 and someone has already crashed into me! I don’t know anyone in the body shop repair business. Should I have it fixed by the Dealer, or a body shop the other person’s insurance recommends?

my auto insurance cost is increasing only becos i filed a comprehensive claim with ALL STATE about 2 years ago. it shows as no fault accident which was explained to me as the COMP claim i filed. mine is toyota camry hybrid 2007, this model is not under recall.
it was not any other accidents, i never had collision claims.

I now have AMERI PRISE insurance, I found very bad reveiws about this company, so trying to switch to to a different reputable company, but prices at GEICO, STATE FARM, TRAVELERS are all much higher, the high price reason is, that COMP CLAIM i filed with ALLSTATE 2 years ago.

is there any thing i can do to get that record removed from my auto insurance record, so i can get insurance for decent price?

without that record, i can get insurance for about $500 for 6 months, but due to that COMP CLAIM record, 6 months price comes to over $700.

MY DRIVING RECORD IS VERY CLEAN, no tickets or accidents, plus I drive less than 2-3 miles daily only.

when i shop for auto insurance, it asks what safe device u have on ur car,

what and how many are there?

Please advice me on auto insurance buying tips,

how much do u pay with whom.

This is a hommework question for my management class on strategic planning. The question states:
In your opinion, what are the core competencies in the auto industry such as GM, Chrysler, and Ford? How do these competencies help them compete with foreign makers such as Honda, Toyota, Nissan and BMW?

I looked around at all their websites, and the general impression I get is that American cars seem to emphasize performance and innovative body designs. The foreign makers seem to more simplistic in body design and emphasize vehicle longevity. Do you think I’m on the right
track, or do you have another suggestion?
I think I need to clarify that I’m not looking for suggestions on what car to buy. This is a homework question for a MANAGEMENT CLASS. Please consider the question from a management and corporate perspective. What are their marketing strategies?

Hey so I just got my license and have been driving my dad’s toyota highlander which is an automatic car. However, I am thinking about getting a stick shift car. I am a beginner so I don’t want to car to be too powerful or have a heavy clutch. Price is not really a problem but I do not want to invest too much into my first car because I am still learning. Any recommendations?

Looking for the best option for a friend, the car is in garage at night, near sea at day, and should be low cost maintenance. Until now she drives Toyota Yaris, quite good.

I am looking for a Toyota Dealer for car maintenance. Should I go to the dealer where I bought it? Is there a place I can look up customer evaluations? I live in the south San Francisco bay area.
