Note

I just reread your fic were Jonah had a vertigo episode and Vince told him he was dating Wendy.

I just love Jonah and his friendships with both Vince and Wendy so much.

So I'd like to request Jonah taking care of either Vince or Wendy.

!!! This ask made all my braincells dance, I never got a request for Jonah x Vince's brotp, so I just had to rush and write it. Someone else asked for concussed Vin so... The best of both worlds. This is a part 1

-------

Jonah drummed his fingers against the steering wheel, trying to quell the anxiety and annoyance inside of him. He still wasn't quite convinced this wasn't a prank.

Concern stirred in his chest and Jonah pressed the gas pedal a little harder. He'd be furious, but he'd rather this was a prank, actually.

It wasn't rare for Vince to text him. Their conversation was mostly unilateral, with Vin bombarding his instagram DMs with memes, messages that Jonah rarely reacted to aside from one snippy line here and there, but that he treasured a lot. When Vince went radio silent in their non reciprocal chat, Jonah worried.

It was, however, very unusual for Vince to call him. When they went on double or triple dates, it was Wendy doing the calling, never Vin.

So Jonah had been dumbfounded when his phone had rang in the middle of the day, Vince's name displayed across the screen.

He glanced at the map on his GPS, then scanned the deserted road, as if he'd see Vince- As soon as he turned the next exit, Jonah's stomach dropped to his feet.

Sadly it hadn't been a prank.

There was a tree fallen on one side of the deserted, middle of nowhere road, tire marks on the wet tarmac and then Vince, sitting on the curb, with his motorcycle fallen a couple feet away from him.

Jonah parked the car hastily, jumping out and power walking to his friend, "What the hell happened?"

Vince looked up from the ground, squinting at him, "uhm- Car, lost control-" he was slurring, gesturing to the site of the accident, "hit me straight on."

"Where is the bloody car right now?" Jonah seethed, crouching down to get a good look at Vince's face. He wasn't wearing the helmet anymore, it was on the ground near his boots. His face was milky white, a hard frown in the middle of his brows making Vince look quite intimidating.

"Drove off..." Vin rubbed his neck, then met his eyes and Jonah's anger all but doubled. Some jerk had hit his friend and simply driven off? "I'm sorry... I-"

"Shut up," Jonah rolled his eyes, leaning in to plant his fingers on Vince's vitals, "how hurt are you?"

"Not sure," Vin mumbled, shifting uncomfortably as Jonah explored his neck in search of bruises, personal space be damned, "my side hurts."

"Lean back, lift up your shirt," Jonah bossed and expected a cheeky Vince-esque remark in return. An at-least-buy-me-dinner-first line or even I'm-telling-Leo. Instead he got sullen silence and obedience, which only made him all the more worried.

Vince gingerly unzipped his jacket, then attempted to pull up his shirt, but he didn't get very far. His grip on the fabric was weak and his arm didn't seem to be cooperating. Jonah mentally made a note to check his shoulders, then slapped Vince's hand away and pushed the shirt up.

There was a nasty cut, covering all of Vince's left side, starting a couple inches under his armpit and going all the way near his belly button, surrounded by scrapes and scratches. It wasn't deep, otherwise he'd probably be bleeding out, but it was ugly nonetheless. The blood had already clotted over.

"Shit, Vince," Jonah frowned, leaning in to inspect the wound, "I think this need stitches..."

"Uhm, are you sure?" Vince blinked heavily, "can't you just- I don't know, band-aid it?"

Jonah stared at him, unimpressed, "You're a piece of work," he scoffed, then pushed the shirt back down, "what else hurts?"

"My foot," Vince gestured his left foot, "I think I broke it."

"And you didn't start by saying that?!" Jonah raised his eyebrows, sitting back on his heels to undo Vince's boot and carefully remove it. His foot was swollen alright and purple around the ankle, but once Jonah poked him on the sole, the toes all curled in reflex, "I don't think it's broken, but you definitely need an x-ray to check for hairline fractures or any torn ligaments- In fact, I think you need a whole body check up, Vin."

"I'm fine," Vince groaned, rubbing a hand over his face. He had scratches all over his chin, dried blood where his eyebrow had split open, "I just wanna go home. Can you drive me home?"

Absolutely not, Jonah thought, but instead he nodded, "sure, I'll drive you home," he lied with an eyeroll, barely keeping the sarcasm from his voice, "you didn't happen to get the asshole's car plate, did you?"

"Nope," Vince seemed completely drained, "can you not tell Wendy? At least until later."

Wendy was in NYC, visiting her family, so Jonah shrugged. He wouldn't be talking with her until tomorrow, "okay... Put your arm around my neck, c'mon."

Between the wounded foot, the nasty gash on his side, the probably dislocated shoulder and the fact that Vince was fucking 6'4, it was a hassle to get him up and limping to the car.

Jonah was sweating and panting by the time he got Vince sitting down again. This would've been easier if Luke was here... Jon pushed the thought aside almost with a scowl. He hadn't called Lucas and he figured there was a reason why Vince had called him instead of his siamese twin.

"Jon," Vince leaned his head heavily against the inside of the car, near the door, "can we go?"

"Hold on a second, let me just get some pictures of your bike," Jonah squeezed his shoulder, "hang in there, don't fall off the car."

Vince's bike was in a surprisingly decent shape. The were some parts from the front scattered around the ground and the front tire had been slashed open- Jonah shuddered as he pictured just how the bike had gotten that way, Vince being catapulted out of it. He snapped a couple pictures, jolting down the license plate and then rushed back to the car.

"Be honest with me, were you speeding?" Jonah asked, as he put the seatbelt around Vince, wincing in sympathy as he felt his friend recoil when the wrap hit his wounded side.

"No," Vin leaned his head back, breathing through his mouth, "no... Raining..." he mumbled, as if that explained everything.

"Okay..." Jonah started the car, glancing nervously at the man lying right next to him, "hey, don't pass out," he poked Vince's thigh five minutes later, as he noticed him sliding down the seat, "I need you to stay awake, you could be concussed."

"Not concussed," Vince groaned, sitting up straight once again, "just in pain."

"Where?" It was a dumb question and Vince could say everywhere and it'd probably count as an accurate answer, but Jonah wanted him to keep talking. For once he missed the incessant chatting.

"Side," he answered quietly, "fuck, my bike..."

"I'm gonna call someone to tow it, it's okay," Jonah rolled his eyes, starting the windshield wiper as the rain started back up. He noticed Vince's teeth chattering, "are you cold?"

"Uhm..." Vin nodded, then leaned forward, resting his forehead on the dashboard, one hand resting on his stomach, "don't feel well, Jon..."

"Not concussed, uh?" Jon scoffed, already pulling the car to the side of the road. He reached over Vince when the man didn't move and unlocked the door, undoing his seatbelt, "c'mon, Vin, don't be an ass, puke out of the car."

Vince obeyed silently, making Jonah feel just a touch more concerned. He hated that his bantering wasn't getting an answer, it was widely out of character.

Vin hung his torso out of the car, bracing heavily against the door and let out a weak heave, followed by a pained gasp, "hurtssss..."

Frowning, Jonah planted a hand on his shoulder to keep Vince from falling off the car and then moved the other one down his spine. His leather jacket had been slashed clean through, something he hadn't noticed before. Vince heaved again, a delicate gagging that was so unlike him, followed by a whimper. Jonah drummed his fingers gently over his wounded side and then pulled his hand back as he met a weird poking under the skin.

"Goddamit, Vince, I think you have a broken rib," that would explain why he was struggling to even vomit without crying from pain.

There was a noise from his friend, followed by yet another retch and then Vince was choking on the liquid, vomit rushing out of his mouth and splashing on the road.

Jonah's stomach churned with sympathy and he squeezed his hand on Vince's shoulder, turning his face away and trying to tune the awful noise out.

Vince heaved again, whole body convulsing with the pain, and Jonah ducked his head, not bothering to muffle his own wet belch. He could taste his lunch all over again.

"Sssorry..." Vince groaned, from his right, before coughing once again and heaving loudly, the noise much louder now. Jonah heard, distinctively, as he emptied out the last of his stomach contents and was reduced to a mess of dry heaves and sobs from the pain.

He straightened up, sniffling and wiping the tears from his cheek, "sorry, Jon-"

Jonah ignored him, flinging his own door opened and bracing against it as he belched again, his lunch threatening to leap to his throat. He swallowed convulsively, gagged and then thumped his chest to dislodge one sick burp, spitting all the thick saliva on the road under. Stomach more or less settled, Jonah straightened up, daring to look at Vince.

He felt beyond humiliated. It was such a pathetic display, to be unable to help his loved ones when they got sick because his own stomach was too weak, "I'm sorry," he grumbled, voice rough and thick.

"I'm so-"

"You look awful," Jonah interrupted, choosing to do this instead of telling him to shut the fuck up and stop apologizing for daring to be sick with a probable concussion, "Vin, I'm taking you to the hospital."

Vince frowned, shaking his head, "I'm fine, really-"

"You have a broken rib, for sure. A sprained ankle at best. That wound is gonna need at least 50 stitches. I'm pretty sure you're concussed and fuck - who knows what else," Jonah glared at him, enumerating the injuries on his fingers, "I'm driving you to the hospital."

"It's gonna cost my right arm and for what? For broken ribs they only tell you to rest and take painkillers. I'm not concussed, I know how a concussion feels like. My foot they'll also just tell me to not walk around and let it heal. I don't need stitches, I'm not even bleeding anymore," Vince said, sounding annoyed and glaring at Jonah, "I thought you wouldn't make a fuss."

Jonah's glare took a steely turn, as he realized Vince had called him specifically because Lucas would've been frantic and probably called an ambulance. It was insulting, "Fuck you," Jonah scoffed, "Did you think I'd find you all mangled and just be like here, I'll drive you to the dorms so you can have internal hemorrhage in the middle of the night? Just because I'm not Lucas? Go fuck yourself Vince," Jonah spat out, slamming his own door shut and starting the car back again.

A heavy silence fell upon them. Jonah stubbornly ignored it, seething with anger. From the corner of his eye he could see Vince looking away from him, a pained frown on, the closest he could get to pouting in this much pain.

It went on for good fifteen minutes, until Vince broke it by mumbling a small, rough "I'm sorry. That was stupid of me."

"Uhm," was all Jonah answered, still just as furious.

He squeezed the steering wheel between his fingers, with much more force than necessary, and rolled his shoulders. The ugliest part of him wanted to yell at Vince a little bit more, bitterness coating the inside of his mouth.

"Jon," Vince interrupted his spiraling angry thoughts and Jonah pointedly ignored him.

"Jonah," Vince said a bit more strongly and Jon sighed, looking away from the road.

"What? If you'll try to get me to not dri-"

"Pull over," Vince groaned, a hand clasped tightly over his mouth, "now, Jon."

Jonah cursed under his breath, they were no longer in an empty road, but close to the hospital and it wasn't as easy to pull over so soon, "hold on, hold on-" he chanted, signaling the need to stop and scanning the crowded street for a spot.

Next to him, Vince let out a gag, hunching over further.

A car pulled out in front of a store and Jonah rushed to take it's spot. It was a tight fit, but-

Vince gagged again and then Jon heard a whine as liquid splashed on his hand and lap, "fuck-"

Jon pressed his eyes closed, the car coming to a swift stop, but clearly he was too late. He breathed in deeply, forcing himself to be on check as he turned to his friend, to assess the mess... "fuck, Vince."

Vince hadn't quite made a mess, because he hadn't puked actual vomit. Instead there was bright blood in his hand.

"I... This can't be good, right?" Vince's voice was shaking and Jonah shook his head no.

"No, it's not," he agreed, noticing Vince's eyes the size of platters, clearly mortified, "c'mon, let's get you checked up."

Jonah couldn't remember if he had ever seen Vince be scared before. Even when he had been severely dehydrated, almost a year ago he had been more annoyed and out of it than scared.

Now he was very awake and aware of everything, much to Jon's dismay. He couldn't help his own sympathetic wince as Vince got transferred from his car to the emergency bed, the paramedics grumbling about Jonah driving him there in the first place instead of calling an ambulance.

He busied himself with getting Vince's bike picked up and then sat on the waiting room, hating to be on the opposite side of the hospital experience for once.

His phone buzzed and Jonah glanced at it nervously, half expecting it to be Wendy miraculously knowing the hell had happened. Instead it was Leo.

Leo: I thought you said you had the day off today? Court ended early and you're not here 🥺

Jonah breathed out, ignoring the prickles of anxiety running up his arm and typed back "I'm at the hospital. Vin got in a car accident."

He saw Leo type and retype, the little bubble appearing and disappearing multiple times, before the screen suddenly changed into the call mode.

"Hey-"

"What happened? How is he!?" Leo's voice was up a whole note, "how did you-"

"He called me, I think two hours ago? He seemed a little in shock, but overall very aware. Sent me his location and everything," Jonah answered, sliding down the seat and staring at the ceiling, "I think the rain caused him or someone to lose control, but either way, they hit his bike head on and then ran."

"What the fuck-"

"He's in x-ray right now. For sure at least one rib is broken, maybe his left foot too. Something is up with his shoulder, I couldn't quite see... Oh yeah and there's this big fucking wound on his side. He's gonna get stitched up after the x-ray and MRI."

"MRI?" Leo said and Jonah could hear him moving around, "did he hit his head?"

"He says he didn't, but he flew off his bike, so," Jonah rolled his eyes, "the idiot didn't want to come to the hospital."

"Sounds like Vince alright," Leo let out a weak chuckle, "you're bringing him here, right?"

Jonah hesitated, thinking back on the fact he had told Vince to go fuck himself, "uh-"

"He can't stay alone in the dorms," Leo cut in, "Wendy's out of town and he called you. You're bringing him here, even if you have to drag him."

"Yes, sir," Jonah teased lightly, opening a smile, "...Don't tell Luke? Or Wendy?"

"I don't talk with Wendy," Leo pointed out with a huff, "...Do you need anything? A coat? Food?"

"What...?" Jonah frowned, "no, you don't have to come over. We're fine, he'll probably be out in an hour or two, unless they want him to spend the night in case of a concussion."

"Vince would rather die," Leo pointed out with a little snicker, "... Are you okay? You sound shaken up."

"I'm fine..." Jonah mumbled, "just worried."

"Aw, he cares," Leo teased lightly, "I won't tell anyone, I promise."

Jon let out a smile, but Leo's teasing had only made him feel worse. He nodded, before remembering his boyfriend couldn't see him, "yeah, of course he will," he agreed, "I gotta go. I'll text you later. Love you."

"Love-" Jonah hung up before he heard the end of it, getting up from his seat and walking to the folding doors that lead to the closed part of the hospital, pacing around it anxiously.

It was another hour and a half before a girl he knew from class stepped out, "Vicent- Monacelli...?"

"Vicenzo," Jonah corrected, stepping forward, "hi Claire."

"Oh, hi Jonah," she smiled, "you're the one who brought him in?"

"Yeah... How is he?" he couldn't be bothered to hide the nervousness. He hadn't mentioned to Leo the coughing up blood, but that had been driving him insane with worry.

"He's fine," Claire tapped her clipboard with a pen, "giving the nurses a run for their money, he keeps trying to leave. Let's talk inside."

Vince hadn't been transferred to a private room, which Jonah counted as a sign he wouldn't need to stay the night. He was leaning back on a long armchair, with an IV connected to his arm, an angry frown on his face. His foot had been put in a boot cast, his shirt removed and his arm was now resting on a sling. A long bandage on his side, covered also by the bandages wrapping around his torso. A million butterfly bandages were scattered all over him.

"I thought you had left," Vince piped up, opening a lopsided smile, "can you tell the nice doctor I can go home?"

"No," Jonah rolled his eyes, looking at Claire, "doctor?"

"Alright, so let's start from the least worrying. You have a dislocated shoulder-"

"It happens all the time," Vince interjected, to which the doctor and Jonah ignored him.

"we've put it back in place and you're supposed to wear the sling and avoid moving your shoulder as much as possible for the next six weeks."

"That's crazy, six weeks?! Classes will start back up, it's my final season-"

"What else?" Jon pinched his nose bridge.

"Left foot is just twisted, but twisted badly. Three weeks of boot," she glared at Vince pointedly, "otherwise you will break it, then it'll be much longer. And you won't play your precious football game."

"It's a twisted ankle, please," Vince scoffed, "I've sported worse injuries during a game-"

"What about his ribs?" Jonah squeezed Vince's bicep to shut him up. Claire crisped her lips in annoyance and Jon almost laughed. Clearly Vince was not growing on the hospital staff.

"One broken rib, one cracked. Four weeks of bed rest and four more of little to no movement," she sighed, "I'm serious, Mr. Monacelli, if you don't rest, you'll end up breaking the one that is cracked and that one has a very bad angle to your lungs. Don't try your luck."

Vince grumbled something in italian, but nodded, wincing as he shifted on his seat, "she says I don't have a concussion, by the way."

Jonah scoffed, then looked at the blonde doctor before him, "really?"

"We ran all the scans, Jon, he's fine," Claire nodded and Jonah almost laughed as he could see she was holding back a mean comment, "Our best guess is the vomiting was due to the pain and shock."

"And the coughing up blood? His lungs are alright?"

"Yes. The blood was actually from a tear inside his mouth, he probably bit down when he hit the ground and the stomach acid irritated the wound," she opened a small smile, "as long as you rest and take the medication correctly, you should be fine, Mr. Monacelli."

"Alright," Vince nodded, then grabbed the IV pole to hoist himself up, "so I can go home?"

Claire mulled over the answer, looking conflicted. Jonah knew that technically, with those injuries, they couldn't hold him overnight, no matter how much it looked like Vince was just gonna ignore all doctor orders.

"He's coming with me," Jonah piped up, "I'll make sure he rests."

"The hell I am!" Vince whined, "I have my own dorm-"

"You're coming with me whether you want it or not," Jonah glared at him, "or you can stay the night here."

"They can't hold me here," Vince scoffed, then frowned and looked at the doctor, "you can't, right?"

Jonah grimaced and Claire clearly understood, because she shrugged, "if we think you're a danger to yourself, we can," she lied.

Vince's face fell and he sighed, sitting back down, "fine," he said, as if he had any choice on the matter. Jonah let out a relieved sigh.

Signing Vince out was easy enough, at least when compared to once again getting him to hop back to the car, since he vehemently refused using a wheelchair, much to everyone's displeasure.

"I don't think you realize you're a giant," Jonah panted as he pushed the passenger seat as far back as his sport car allowed and gave up on using the seatbelt.

"Uhm..." Vince let out a defeated sigh, leaning back against the leather seat, "I'm useless."

"You're hurt," Jonah reminded him with an eyeroll, "look... I- I'm sorry I yelled at you-"

"No," Vince sighed, "no, you were right... I was a jerk. Can we just go? Everything hurts."

"Your drugged, Vin," Jonah snorted, circling the car to get in the driver's side, "I doubt you can feel your face right now."

"I can and it hurts," Vince groaned, then closed his eyes as the movement started back up, "are you sure you don't mind me being at your place...? I can call-"

"If you say Lucas I'll leave you on the side of the road," Jonah slapped his friend's thigh, causing Vince to jerk and let out a whine.

"Fine, whatever," Vince smiled, eyes still closed, "...Told you I didn't have a concussion."

The Essential Guide to Buying Car Parts Online: Tips and Tricks for Success

In the digital age, buying car parts online has become a convenient and cost-effective way for vehicle owners to maintain and repair their automobiles. However, navigating the vast landscape of online automotive car parts can be daunting. This guide aims to provide essential tips and tricks to ensure a successful and smooth experience when purchasing car parts online.

Know Your Vehicle's Details

Before you start shopping for car parts online, it’s crucial to know the specifics of your vehicle. This includes the make, model, year, and engine type. Many online automotive parts stores have search filters that require this information to match you with the correct parts. Having your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy can also be helpful, as it provides a comprehensive record of your vehicle’s specifications.

Research and Compare Retailers

There are numerous online retailers selling car parts, each with different product ranges, prices, and customer service levels. Popular sites include AutoZone, RockAuto, and Amazon. It’s wise to compare prices and read customer reviews across multiple platforms. Websites like Trustpilot and the Better Business Bureau can offer insights into a retailer’s reputation and reliability.

Understand Part Specifications and Quality

Not all car parts are created equal. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the vehicle’s manufacturer and are often more expensive but guarantee a perfect fit and performance. Aftermarket parts are produced by other companies and can vary in quality and price. While some aftermarket parts are of excellent quality, others may not meet the same standards. Researching the part's specifications and reading reviews can help ensure you purchase a quality item.

Check for Compatibility

One of the most critical steps when buying car parts online is ensuring compatibility with your vehicle. Double-check the part number and compare it with your vehicle’s requirements. Many online stores provide tools to verify compatibility, but it’s always good to consult your vehicle’s manual or a professional mechanic if you’re unsure.

Look for Warranties and Return Policies

Reliable online retailers often offer warranties on their parts, which can provide peace of mind and protection against defects. Additionally, check the return policy before making a purchase. A flexible return policy is essential if you accidentally order the wrong part or if the part is defective. Be aware of any restocking fees and the condition requirements for returns.

Consider Shipping Costs and Delivery Times

Shipping costs and delivery times can vary significantly between retailers. Some may offer free shipping on orders over a certain amount, while others may have high shipping fees that negate any savings from lower part prices. Also, consider the delivery time, especially if you need the part urgently. Some retailers offer expedited shipping options for an additional fee.

Utilize Customer Support

Don’t hesitate to reach out to a retailer’s customer support if you have any questions or concerns. Reputable online stores usually have knowledgeable support staff who can assist with part selection, compatibility issues, and other inquiries. Good customer service can make a significant difference in your overall shopping experience.

Beware of Scams and Fraudulent Sellers

The internet, unfortunately, is rife with scams and fraudulent sellers. Stick to well-known, reputable retailers and avoid deals that seem too good to be true. Pay attention to the website’s security features, such as a secure payment gateway and a valid SSL certificate, indicated by a padlock icon in the browser address bar.

Conclusion

Buying car parts online can be a convenient and cost-effective option, provided you take the time to do your research and follow these essential tips. By knowing your vehicle's details, comparing retailers, understanding part specifications, and checking for warranties and return policies, you can make informed decisions and ensure a successful purchase. With these strategies, you can keep your vehicle running smoothly without the hassle of traditional brick-and-mortar stores.

NHS Diagnostic Centres Hit Six Million Checks

In a groundbreaking achievement for the National Health Service (NHS), over six million vital checks have been carried out at local diagnostic centres across England. This milestone marks a significant step forward in the NHS's efforts to provide timely and efficient healthcare services.

Revolutionizing Patient Care with Local Centres

Since their inception in July 2021, Community Diagnostic Centres (CDCs) have been instrumental in transforming the landscape of patient care. As of November 2023, a staggering 6.1 million checks, including tests, scans, and health checks, have been conducted in these centres. Remarkably, these facilities are conveniently located in various settings, such as shopping centres, university campuses, and even football stadiums. The Impact of CDCs CDCs offer a wide range of diagnostic tests closer to home, providing patients with greater choice and convenience. This initiative not only reduces the need for hospital visits but also ensures potentially life-saving care is received sooner. Health and Social Care Secretary, Victoria Atkins, highlighted the government’s £2.3 billion investment in this programme, emphasizing its role in faster diagnosis of critical illnesses like cancer and heart disease. A Closer Look at the Numbers The programme's success is evident in the numbers. With 141 CDCs, including four temporary sites, already operational, the NHS is well on its way to achieving its target of opening 160 CDCs by March 2025. Many of these centres are set to open ahead of schedule, further enhancing the NHS's diagnostic capabilities. Early Diagnosis: A Key to Saving Lives Patients are referred to CDCs via their GP, where healthcare staff utilize advanced diagnostic equipment like CT and MRI scanners. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial in combating death and illness, and these centres are pivotal in this regard.

The Bigger Picture: NHS's Elective Recovery Plan

The success of the CDC programme is a part of the wider Elective Recovery Plan. This initiative has led to the NHS virtually eliminating waits of over two years and significantly reducing 18-month waits. Additionally, the government's recent £800 million funding is set to further mitigate the impact of industrial action and maximize independent sector capacity to reduce waiting times. The Future of Healthcare The integration of CDCs into the healthcare system represents a paradigm shift in how medical services are delivered. These centres not only expedite diagnoses but also embody the NHS's commitment to evolving and improving patient care.

In Conclusion

The NHS's investment in local diagnostic centres is a testament to its dedication to enhancing healthcare services. With millions of tests already conducted and many more centres on the horizon, the future of healthcare in England looks promising. As Dr. Vin Diwakar, NHS Medical Director for Transformation, aptly puts it, these centres are not just facilities but 'one-stop shops' for health, conveniently located and potentially life-saving.

How Much Can Car Keys Replacement Cost Experts Earn?

Car Keys Replacement Cost It wasn't long ago that losing keys to cars was not a big issue. You could take your spare keys to an a key cutter and buy an additional one for $10 or less. Today, however, the process is more complex and expensive. Find out more about the different types of keys for cars and what they can cost you to replace. Basic Key Fob A key fob is an remote control as well as key in one. It's a small plastic device that has a button or buttons that you push to unlock the doors, open the trunk or hatchback, open the windows and maybe even start the car. The key fob also comes with an embedded electronic chip that communicates with the car's onboard system to control functions like the starter. A basic key fob is usually constructed of plastic that employs a lock-and key mechanism, such as the kind you might find on an old Pontiac or Saturn. A basic key fob can cost between $50 to $100, however you'll pay more if you need to replace one that's been damaged or lost. If your car was made in the last five years, chances are you'll need to visit the dealership for a replacement fob, as many newer cars require special equipment to program and code new keys. A locksmith shop or key shop will usually be in a position to provide this service for less. The type of fob you're using can also impact the cost. Older cars use mechanical key fobs, whereas the latest models usually have transponder keys or smart keys. Both types of keys come with a variety of features, from keyless entry that locks and unlocks the vehicle in a controlled manner to rolling codes that change regularly to stop thieves from stealing and stealing the data from your key fob. Online key fobs may be less expensive than ones you can get from the dealer, but they might not be compatible with your car. Some manufacturers, such as Audi and Subaru have security chips that prevent their key fobs from interacting with third party devices. Some dealerships will program an aftermarket fob if you bring it in however there's a high chance that it won't work. You can find information about programming your key fob by searching the site of the manufacturer or in the owner's manual. You should try to do this yourself prior to paying for a locksmith or going to the dealer. You can also check the warranty on your vehicle and the auto-insurance policy to see if they cover the cost of replacing a key fob. Transponder Key Transponder keys are found in the majority of newer automobiles. The keys contain an embedded chip in the head that sends an information to the vehicle after it is put into the ignition cylinder. This signal is used to unlock the car and starting the engine. This type of key is more secure than standard flat metal keys because transponder chips prevent the car from starting if it fails to receive an appropriate signal from the key. This technology was created to stop car theft since it is virtually impossible to duplicate these keys without the proper equipment. In my response , many cars also have immobilizer systems which prevent them from starting if the key is not transponder-compatible. Car thieves have come up with ways to steal cars equipped with transponder key systems. A locksmith will usually be able to help you replace the damaged or lost transponder key. They'll need details about your car, such as the VIN number and model. They'll either program the key you have to the car's system or cut an entirely new one. This procedure is more expensive than getting a car dealership to cut and program a new key. Some automotive stores like AutoZone or Walmart can also cut and copy transponder keys but may not be capable of reprogramming the chip inside the key. If you want to be sure that a professional will be able to handle the task, you should call a reputable and experienced locksmith company. It was fairly easy to make duplicate keys for a car and hot-wire a car prior to the advent of this new technology. This method of stealing cars was very frequent and allowed criminals to gain entry and drive off with stolen vehicles. Transponder keys have greatly reduced this crime, but it isn't entirely eliminated it. You can get an expert to handle this for you if you need an extra transponder key or if you lost yours. It's more expensive than a standard key, however it's a safer and more reliable option to ensure that someone else is unable to start your car. Keyless Entry System Car key fobs are becoming a standard feature of vehicles as people are seeking convenience, security and security. These devices can open doors, activate the panic alarm, unlock the trunk, or start the engine without the physical key. They can be tossed around and are more likely to get lost or stolen. It's expensive to replace them, and you may need to program your new fob to pair it with your vehicle. The cost of cutting a basic key fob in a hardware store is about 10 dollars. However, the newest smart keys can be expensive when you need to purchase them, as well as program them. Based on the model and make you can expect to pay anywhere from $200-$500 for a replacement fob and the cost of having it cut and programmed to your vehicle. Some sophisticated car key systems let you use your phone as an actual key. Using the app on your smartphone, you can remotely lock or unlock your car and you can also turn your lights on and off, turn off your parking brake, and perform other things based on your proximity to the car. This is ideal for people who reside in urban areas or have children and worry about children leaving the car unattended. Certain of these systems may be expensive, but they are more secure than the standard car key. They keep track of your location to prevent you from locking or starting the car if you are too far away. Some of these systems will help you locate your car in a garage and others can notify you when you open or close the doors. These systems can also be useful for businesses such as property managers who oversee vacation rentals or offices. These systems are able to monitor access rights of guests, cleaning staff, and maintenance workers, while ensuring that only those with the proper permissions can go in and out of the space. Dealership Some people may think that they need to visit a dealership if their keys disappear. They'll have to show proof of ownership, and occasionally the key must be purchased from the manufacturer, which can take a few days. A dealer will usually complete the job quicker than a locksmith and may even charge less.

The key fob might need to be programmed for your car. This can be done at the dealership or by consulting your owner's manual. It involves opening and closing doors, as well as turning on and off lights and other electronic devices. It could also involve pressing a combination of buttons that functions as a code. Often, this can be performed by the driver, however, it is best to have a technician handle it. The year, make and model of the vehicle will affect the price, too. The cost of the service may also be affected by the year, model and model of the vehicle. A dealer that sells a certain model will be more likely to be able to replace keys for the model. Some of the larger manufacturers, like Ford, Toyota and Chrysler have a variety of models and are familiar with keys. Other brands are more difficult to work with. This includes some of the older firms that have been shut down or are old enough to have keys that are no longer being produced. These include Scion, Pontiac, Hummer, Oldsmobile, Mercury, Saturn and Eagle. Typically, these kinds of keys have to be reprogrammed and can be more complicated and costly than replacing the key itself. It is recommended to have your spare key cloned by a professional instead of purchasing another one from the dealer. So, you don't have to worry about having to pay for the higher rates for after-hours and weekend hours. Then, if you lose your keys, you can rest assured that the cloned key will work.

6 Things to Consider Before Purchasing A Used Car

The used car market has grown in recent years. However, this rise is not without challenges. Many buyers often make costly missteps when buying a second-hand car.

Caution is crucial in these transactions to avoid purchasing a 'lemon' - a car with concealed, chronic problems. Armed with the right knowledge, buyers can secure a quality vehicle that proves to be a sound investment.

Sadly, many people succumb to common pitfalls such as unfamiliarity with the market or impulsive decisions. These errors can lead to burdensome repair costs. If you end up with a lemon, you may need to pay high fees to lemon law experts to help you get the compensation you deserve. Here we will discuss the most important things you need to know before buying your second-hand car.

Important points to keep in mind before buying a used car

Set a Budget

When thinking about buying a used automobile, the first and possibly most important step is to set a budget. The amount you're willing to pay on the automobile itself is only one aspect of the decision. Your budget should include all expenses related to ownership, such as insurance, upkeep, gasoline, and any future repairs.

Financial restraint is essential. Spending too much money on a second-hand automobile might put an undue burden on your finances. Make sure your monthly automobile expenditures don't go beyond 20% of your gross income.

Research the Car's History

When purchasing a used automobile, checking the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is essential. The vehicle's production date, make, model and other details are all contained in this distinctive 17-character alpha-numeric number. Make sure you check the VIN directly from the automobile and not simply from the papers.

One may acquire thorough accident and damage history information by using the VIN. The performance and safety of the vehicle may be considerably impacted by catastrophic damage, such as a serious accident, flood or fire damage, which may be revealed by this report.

Get a Professional Inspection

Before finalizing the purchase, a professional examination is always highly recommended. Some mechanical issues are more difficult to spot than others, especially to the inexperienced eye. Services like on-site used car inspections might be useful in this situation.

Professional inspectors have the training and expertise to spot problems that may turn your dream automobile into an expensive nightmare. Their sharp observation may pick up everything from previous severe body and frame damage to worn-out components. In the long run, many customers find cheap car inspection services to be a wise investment that provides peace of mind.

A fast web search might turn up nearby possibilities if you're thinking, "Where can I get my car inspected?" It's wise to always go with a reputed company for an objective assessment.

Review Ownership Costs

Fuel efficiency significantly impacts a car's operating cost. This measure refers to how far a vehicle can travel per unit of fuel. Higher fuel efficiency translates to lower costs, making it an important factor in your budgeting.

Researching potential repair and maintenance costs for the car model can prepare you for future expenses. Some models may require pricier parts or more frequent servicing. Information about these costs is usually available online or through local mechanics.

Test Drive the Car

Test driving is a non-negotiable part of buying a used car. It provides a firsthand evaluation of the car's condition and performance.

Here are some key points to consider:

Check for any unusual noises during the drive.

Monitor the car's gear shifts. They should be smooth.

Check the gauges and warning lights for any drivetrain, brake or electrical problems.

Pay attention to the car's handling.

Test the car in various conditions: city roads, highways, tight corners, and uphill.

Assess the comfort level inside the car. Are the seats comfortable? How is the legroom?

Evaluate visibility from the driver's seat.

Notice the ergonomics of the car. Are the controls easily reachable?

However, remember that a test drive should not replace an independent vehicle inspection service. A professional inspection can reveal potential issues you might overlook during a test drive.

Read Customer Reviews and Ratings

When purchasing a used car, reading customer reviews and ratings is a valuable step.

Here's why:

Real-world insights: Reviews can provide firsthand information about the car's reliability, performance and any common problems.

Identifying common issues: If multiple owners mention the same issue, it may indicate a common fault with the car model.

Online platforms: Websites and forums are excellent sources for user reviews.

Reputable ratings: Check ratings from trusted automotive websites. These often consider safety, reliability, and cost of ownership.

However, don't solely rely on customer reviews and ratings. They should supplement your research, which must include professional inspections and test drives.

With gas prices rising, many drivers are looking for ways to save money at the pump. Unleaded 88 E15 is a newer 15% ethanol blend fuel touted to offer lower cost. But what vehicles are compatible with Unleaded 88? Let's get started understanding this new E15 ethanol blend and whether it's safe for your vehicle. What is Unleaded 88 Fuel? Unleaded 88 is a grade of fuel containing 15% ethanol blended with regular gasoline. It has an octane rating of 88 AKI, which is why it is named "Unleaded 88". Key facts on Unleaded 88 E15: 15% ethanol, 85% regular gasoline 88 octane rating (Average of R+M/2) Considered a midgrade fuel option between regular (E10) and premium Uses same ethanol as E10 fuel since 1980s, but higher blend ratio Meets EPA emissions and mileage standards for use in approved vehicles Offered at over 2000 US gas stations, expanding availability The higher 15% ethanol content allows Unleaded 88 to have greater knock resistance than E10 regular grade. This provides midgrade performance at a lower cost. However, the extra ethanol can also create issues in vehicles not designed for it... Benefits and Drawbacks of E15 Fuel Here are some pros and cons to consider regarding Unleaded 88 vs standard E10: Potential Benefits: Lowers fuel cost 5-10 cents per gallon Burns cleaner with lower emissions Increases octane rating for better performance Extends gasoline supplies as renewable fuel Potential Drawbacks: Not approved for use in all vehicles Can damage engines, seals, pumps if incompatible Lower energy density reduces MPG up to 3% Requires fuel system designed for higher ethanol The cost savings can appeal to drivers, but compatibility issues prevent use of E15 in many older vehicles. Vehicle Compatibility Issues The key concern around Unleaded 88 is vehicle compatibility. Here are some of the potential issues: Metal corrosion - E15 can corrode metal, aluminum and brass components when wetness gets trapped in the fuel system. This damaging corrosion occurs over extended use. Fuel line damage - Ethanol can degrade rubber fuel lines and O-rings over time, causing leaks and performance issues. Fuel pump failure - Higher ethanol concentrations make pumps work harder leading to premature wear or failure. Engine damage - Using in non-approved vehicles can void warranties and lead to damaged valves, pistons, cylinders, and spark plugs in some cases. Drivability problems - Poor drivability like stalling, misfires, or poor throttle response can develop if the engine was not designed for Unleaded 88. These issues typically occur gradually after sustained E15 use in incompatible vehicles. To avoid any problems, it's critical to know if your vehicle is approved. How to Check if Your Car is E15 Compatible Unfortunately the EPA only requires compatibility labeling on fuel pumps for vehicles after model year 2001. For older cars, determining E15 approval requires digging into your owner's manual or contacting your manufacturer directly. Here are ways to check compatibility for ANY vehicle: Check your owner's manual - Look for statements on approved ethanol blends like E15 or E85. Contact your manufacturer - Call their customer support line and provide VIN for E15 approval. Check online databases - Sites like FuelTesters.com have searchable listings of E15 compatible vehicles. Look for E15 warning sticker - Your gas filler door may have a warning if E15 is not approved. When in doubt, call ahead - Ask the gas station if they have compatibility listings. Checking ahead of time is important to avoid misfueling issues. Don't assume your vehicle can run E15 without verifying first. Full Compatibility List by Make & Model To provide a helpful starting point, here is a breakdown of E15 approval by major auto manufacturers and some sample models: Acura 2012 model ye

ar and newer approved 2013 Acura ILX - approved 2010 Acura TL - not approved Audi Model year 2001-2018 approved EXCEPT for Audi A3 TDI (2010-2013) which is not approved 2019 Audi A4 - approved 2015 Audi Q5 - approved 2012 Audi A3 TDI - not approved BMW Model year 2001-2019 approved EXCEPT for BMW X5 xDrive35d (2009-2013) which is not approved 2019 BMW 3 Series - approved 2013 BMW X3 - approved 2011 BMW X5 xDrive35d - not approved Buick Model year 2012 and newer approved 2018 Buick Regal - approved 2010 Buick LaCrosse - not approved Cadillac Model year 2012 and newer approved 2021 Cadillac Escalade - approved 2009 Cadillac CTS - not approved Chevrolet Model year 2012 and newer approved 2019 Chevy Silverado - approved 2011 Chevy Malibu - not approved Chrysler Model year 2012 and newer approved 2020 Chrysler Pacifica - approved 2008 Chrysler 300 - not approved Dodge Model year 2012 and newer approved 2021 Dodge Charger - approved 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 - not approved Ford Model year 2007-2019 approved EXCEPT Ford Explorer and Police Interceptor Utility with 3.5L EcoBoost (2016-2019) which are not approved 2020 Ford Escape - approved 2019 Ford Expedition - approved 2017 Ford Explorer EcoBoost - not approved GMC Model year 2012 and newer approved 2021 GMC Yukon - approved 2009 GMC Sierra - not approved Honda Model year 2001 and newer approved 2020 Honda Civic - approved 2005 Honda Accord - approved Hyundai Model year 2012 and newer approved 2022 Hyundai Tucson - approved 2010 Hyundai Elantra - not approved Infiniti Model year 2016 and newer approved 2017 Infiniti Q50 - approved 2015 Infiniti QX60 - not approved Jeep Model year 2012 and newer approved 2021 Jeep Wrangler - approved 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee - not approved Kia Model year 2012 and newer approved 2020 Kia Sportage - approved 2010 Kia Soul - not approved Lexus Model year 2001 and newer approved 2022 Lexus RX - approved 2004 Lexus ES - approved Lincoln Model year 2012 and newer approved 2021 Lincoln Navigator - approved 2010 Lincoln Town Car - not approved Mazda Model year 2001 and newer approved 2022 Mazda CX-5 - approved 2004 Mazda 6 - approved Mercedes-Benz Model year 2001-2020 approved EXCEPT for Mercedes ML 350 BlueTec 4MATIC (2010-2015) which is not approved 2021 Mercedes GLC - approved 2015 Mercedes CLA - approved 2013 Mercedes ML 350 BlueTec - not approved Nissan Model year 2001 and newer approved 2021 Nissan Maxima - approved 2009 Nissan Versa - approved Subaru Model year 2001 and newer approved EXCEPT turbocharged models before 2019 which are not approved 2020 Subaru Outback - approved 2018 Subaru WRX (turbo) - not approved 2005 Subaru Legacy - approved Toyota Model year 2001 and newer approved 2022 Toyota Camry - approved 2009 Toyota Corolla - approved Volkswagen Model year 2001-2019 approved EXCEPT VW Touareg TDI (2009-2016) which is not approved 2021 VW Atlas - approved 2015 VW Golf - approved 2013 VW Touareg TDI - not approved This covers the compatibility status for most major brands - always verify specific model years and trim levels when in doubt. FAQs Still have questions about using unleaded 88 E15 in your vehicle? Here are some common FAQs: Does unleaded 88 damage engines? In engines designed for it, E15 does not cause damage. But sustained use in non-compatible vehicles can corrode fuel system metals leading to degraded performance. Can older cars use unleaded 88 safely? Most vehicles 2001 and newer are approved, but some older models have compatibility issues. Verify E15 approval with your manufacturer before using in vintage cars. Is it bad to accidentally put E15 in your car? An occasional tank of E15 in a non-appro

ved vehicle is unlikely to cause immediate issues. But repeated refueling with E15 can start to create long-term corrosion and damage. Does E15 decrease fuel economy? E15 has less energy per gallon than E10, so your MPG may decrease around 3% on average with sustained use. Performance impacts vary based on vehicle. Can using unleaded 88 void my car warranty? Only if misfueling can be proven to have caused damage. Dealers may deny claims if E15 use caused issues in non-approved vehicles. Check warranty terms for details. Is all ethanol the same? Does source matter? Technically ethanol from different biological sources has minor variances in chemical makeup. But any ethanol meeting US fuel standards will function the same in engines. Is it worth the savings to use E15 in my older car? The potential savings are minor compared to risks of long-term damage from misfueling older incompatible vehicles. It's best to follow automaker guidelines for your specific model. Will unleaded 88 damage small engines like boats and lawn mowers? Yes, the EPA warns E15 can damage small non-road engines and they should always use E10 or lower ethanol blends. As you can see, due diligence is required to avoid issues when fueling up with new ethanol blends. Verify compatibility before using in your vehicle. The Bottom Line on Unleaded 88 When used properly in approved vehicles, Unleaded 88 E15 provides a cheaper, cleaner-burning fuel option. But significant risks exist if misused in incompatible cars. ALWAYS check for manufacturer approval before filling up. The provided make/model compatibility list is a helpful starting point. But verifying your specific vehicle's status is the only way to fuel up with confidence and avoid unnecessary issues. Use the resources in this guide to check for approval. While unleaded 88 holds promise for savings and reduced emissions, make sure your car is ready first. Follow automaker fuel recommendations to prevent problems down the road. #Wiack #Car #CarInsurance #CarRental #CarPrice #AutoLoans
