First Question: How often do tires need to changed? What is the standard for general drivers and cars? I drive a Honda. I never know if they guys at the shop are telling me the truth when it comes to my tires.

When you say change your tires I assume that you are meaning to rotate them. You should change your motor oil every three thousand miles, so using that as your reminder every other oil change would be six thousand miles. If you rotated them at that interval (every 6,000 miles) it would get the maximum wear out of your tires. In Utah if your tires are worn down to the wear bars near the bottom of the grooves in your tire tread they fail the safety inspection and must be replaced. There are many different grades of tires, buy ones with a good mileage rating if you are going to keep the car. It will be cheaper in the long run.

Leon-
Diggin' this idea, first of all.
My question is this: the air conditioning/heater fan of my 2002 Jetta Wagon will only work when it's turned all the way to 4 (full blast). Is this something I can fix myself with the help of my local auto part shop?
Thanks for your help.
When I go to start our standard transmission, occasionally there will be no response whatsoever. No clicking, nothing. So, I make sure I have the clutch in all the way and try again. When it decides to do this, it takes a few tries before I get a response, and then it will start normally. It doesn't seem like the starter because there's no clicking sound. Is it the clutch? Or something else??
There is a resistor that goes bad and then you only have high fan. Resistor 1J0819022A $90.00 That's the part number and approximate cost.

It always helps to have the year make and model of what we are working on. It is also helpful to know where you live (city and state). All of that can have a bearing on giving you the best answer. My guess right now is that you may have a corrosive connection between your battery and the battery cables. The cable needs to be removed from the battery and the surface on the inside of the cable needs to be down to bare metal and the battery post needs to be shiney clean. Cold weather effects that connection if it is corroded.
