Door Hinges

I know you have heard that groan or creak when opening a car door, especially in the winter time. Usually the best thing to do if to get a good spray lubracant and hose it down (I’ve found that P B Blaster is about the best). But! If you get caught without it like I did recently and it is your wife’s car door that is making the noise and you just can’t find the time to get to the store here is a hint on how to solve the problem. Open the hood. Pull out the dip stick(hopefully you have oil in your motor) and quickly take it to the door hinge that is causeing the problem and wipe the oil off on the hinge. In my case it was the part that holds the door open that caused the noise. It took a few trips back to the motor but it got the job done.

  1. Hi, I’m seriously considering becoming a Toyota auto technician. Can you tell me anything about the hiring process, training process and what kind of qualifications they’ll be looking for?? I have a business admin degree and 23 years experience in the Navy as an electronics technician. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated thanks/

  2. You will need to contact your local Toyota dealer to find out what openings they have. With your experience you might want to consider a service manager or some other position in management. The dealer my son works for sends him to a local college two or three times a year. Good luck.
