OK, pull out your pencils- it’s math time. The average transmission should be flushed every 30,000 miles. (check your owner’s manual for your particular vehicle) (If you cannot find your manual many are online).
Let’s say that your car lasts to 120,000 miles. If you have maintained your vehicle you should have performed four transmission flushes at a cost of approximately $260 each for a total of $1,040.

Bonjour! We have French students for this summer for a three-week stay, from July 8 to July 28. LEC (Loisirs Culturel A L’Etranger) is in need of host families for the visiting teenagers.

As a consumer you do not always have the ability to know what your car will need other than the visual items that you can see but here are some things to keep in mind prior to going to the state inspection station.
Last Thursday and Saturday were sad days at the Farmer’s Market. It was cold and rainy.
Cold and rainy does not typically inspire patrons to come out and walk around to buy vegetables. If you did walk over to the Harris Pavilion or to Lot B, you could find many vendors, bravely sitting under the pavilion bundled up but maintaining smiles. Rain or shine, they’re out there.
