Car Questions

[Guest guest]

2000 Buick, Century. Over 106,000 miles.

1)

When the car first starts, it idles at 15mph,

sometimes 20mph.

Do I have a problem?

2)

I have moved to the Pacific Northwest where there

is one snow, at about 7inches; and the average

Winter temperature is in the middle thirties.

Is there something special I need to do to assure

my car will continue to operate during the

Winter?

(The car was purchased in Southern California and

spent the last two years in Northern California

-mean Winter temperature was in the 40's- without

any Winter problem.)

3)

What is your opinion how single women are treated

by car dealerships when they seek service for

their car?

Would I get more polite, honest attention from an

independent mechanic?
