I guess I was speaking more about home loans. Auto loans are so much shorter and don't have the same impact. Regardless, if you increase the loan, you better do some calculations to make sure of the numbers. It's not uncommon for your refi to wind up with almost identical total payment over the life of the loan. However, this isn't necessarily bad if you need some temporary relief in your payments, and are willing to accept a longer loan term in exchange.

FWIW, there aren't any credit unions in this region that I would feel comfortable using for a mortgage loan. Our mortgage broker is a family friend, and she is awesome. She also works for Colonial National Mortgage which is one of the largest firms and one of the few that is not publicly traded and does not bow to the corporate whims of Wall Street.

Also, I think I'm going to demand that they put it on the lift and show me where/how they think this wire was modified.

The fuse was for the door button chime and OBD port.


The SES they won't fix, because I have HFCs installed. Gonna try the steel wool trick Chris told me about and see if that works.
