Camry 2009. Heat was blowing cold at times. Refilled the coolant which was running low. Does this make sense or should I try something else?

that's an obvious issue. Other issues could be a blocked heater core (that's the last thing you want into be) or a bad thermostat. If it runs hotter when pressing the gas, it's not a thermostat issue.

Can't remember the last time I got my cabin and engine air filters replaced, so am thinking of getting them from Rock Auto.

So many options... can anyone suggest what to get for a 2013 Accord and 2018 Avalon?

Had to get my car jumped and ever since then the driver seat and telescoping steering column don't work. Mechanic says that fuses are fine and both motors need to be replaced. Does that make sense?

Is it a 6-way power seat?

I'm just curious did you test your battery to see if it needs to be replaced? or it just happened to die one morning and you had it boosted.
Just had my battery Replaced after having to boost it every morning, caused my gears and everything else to be messed up.

Yes

He also didn't charge for diagnostic so I don't think he delved too deeply

Some 6-way power seats have different motors so maybe not the motor.
What model car?

My front driver door won't open from the outside, I'm assuming it's some sort of mechanism issue. Any ideas?
Who would I bring it to, mechanic or auto body shop?

If you are not mechanically inclined don't try it yourself.

yes

Your string that pulls open the door is off. Take off the panel and visually see what came off and check.
If you're a tad handy it's an Easy fix. Watch how to remove the door panel and then figure it out from there.

Does that even make sense, that all the gears and stuff would get messed up bec of a dead battery?
And did your battery need to be replaced? Like there were dead cells in your battery? Did u get it tested?
