Q: What to do when your flooring is discontinued?

• <div><p>If you are ready to work on replacing floorboards but discover that your hardwood floor type has been discontinued, there are some options. You can get a piece of unfinished wood in the same wood type and thickness and stain it yourself. Also, consider contacting the manufacturer to see what similar products they may have in their product line that may work for you. Otherwise, you can contact a speciality company to customize exactly what you need.</p></div>

Q: What’s the max PSI that won’t damage vinyl?

• <div><p>Although it isn&rsquo;t recommended to use more than 1,500 pounds of force per square inch (or PSI) on delicate siding materials like wood and metal, it&rsquo;s safe to use more than that on surfaces made of stone, cement, and, yes, vinyl. In most cases, you can use up to 3,500 PSI without any problems, though you&rsquo;ll want to make sure to use a tip with a spray span that better disperses this pressure, like a green or yellow tip.</p></div>

We first went to Purrfect Auto on Eastern in Henderson and they quoted $700 to repair. I then went on Angieslist to find a shop. Found Sun auto then went there. They quoted $200 and repaired the car. Works great and saved $500. I think we found our auto center for future repairs.
