I hit a parked car but couldn’t track down the owner. Now I’m being charged with a hit-and-run. What now?

You hit a parked car, but couldn't find the owner. Unfortunately, you can't leave the scene or you can be charged with hit-and-run.

My neighbor keeps reporting my car as "abandoned" even though I drive it weekly. Can he actually get it towed?

You've got a street parking permit and you drive it once a week, but your worst neighbor keeps reporting your car as "abandoned." The annoying part is that a complaint by itself usually does not let a private citizen get your car towed.

Worried buyer at used car lot

I bought a certified used car, but I've had to take it to the mechanic three times in the first few months. What does "certified" even guarantee?

You see “Certified Pre-Owned” on a windshield and it sounds reassuring. Obviously, it suggests the car was checked over carefully and comes with extra protection. But if you bought a certified used car and now it has problems all over the place, the hard truth is this: “Certified” does not mean flawless.

The mechanic says my car needs a $2,500 transmission flush and fluid replacement. Isn't a flush supposed to cost like $200?

If a shop told you a transmission flush and fluid replacement will cost $2,500, your skepticism is justified. For many mainstream cars, a basic transmission fluid service often lands in the low hundreds, not the thousands. The catch is that some advisors use the word “flush” to describe a much larger repair package, and that is where the number can explode.

I let a friend borrow my car and he got a speeding ticket from a camera. Am I seriously on the hook for his bad driving?

You loaned your car to a friend, and days later a camera speeding ticket lands in your name. It is one of those annoyingly modern problems that feels unfair at first glance. The short answer is that in many places, the notice goes to the registered owner first, even if someone else was driving.
