Why is the car so loud?
It seems it gets even louder when I run the A/C.

A mechanic's stethoscope is an inexpensive tool that can help you determine the source of a noise - just be careful to keep the long sensing rod out of the moving parts!

This guy told me it is the fan motor going out. Is there a way to test this or to know for sure?

Since I don't need an extension on my auto warranty, and don't plan to help anyone sneak some money into the country, if a calling number isn't on my contacts list, I don't answer. Any legitimate caller who wants to talk to me has to leave a message...
