  ATTENTION ALL GEARHEADS AND FRIENDS OF GEARHEADS: I need help with a car problem. My 15-year-old Toyota Camry has been making noise when I first drive away, but not so much as I drive along. I took it to a mechanic with whom I've long done business, and he said its not the muffler or tailpipe but rather a pipe toward the front of the car near the catalytic converter. He said I should take it to a muffler shop, and maybe they'll do a relatively inexpensive weld job to fix the situation. He cautioned, however, that they might well try to sell me a far more expensive fix involving replacement of the equipment at issue. Does anyone know somebody who can handle a situation like this without screwing me? Thanks.

  I had a problem with compression and was told by my regular guy it was a $1,000 fix involving a new catalytic converter and pipes. I got a second opinion from these guys, who told me it was just a split pipe and fixed it then and there for $100. Haven't had trouble in 2 years now. Get an opinion. 6655 E Riverside Blvd Rockford, IL 61114 (815) 877-6666 http://www.velasquezautocare.com/
