Save big by skipping the dealership when your car’s Keyless Remote needs a new battery!

Newer cars have a temperature gauge, but that’s about it.

For example, why did they do away with the oil pressure gauge and replace it with the virtually useless “Check Engine” light?

Rick’s answer: I remember those handy gauges as well, Frank. And truth be told, I miss them as much as you do.
