To show your appreciation to someone that helps you out(reps). Click on the heart with the green plus sign on it. I didn't know how to give reps for a couple months after joining.

Your "reputation" is indicated by green bars on the right side under your location and post count

How do you know when someone gives you reps so you can thank them? I noticed a lot of "thanks for the reps" in members visitor messages.

Its kind of like a status symbol. The more reps someone has, the more helpful they have been, and therefor are seen as a good person in the community here.

Hahaha no. I let the tire folk do them
I just watch to make sure its done right. They go by whatever is on the door. I always see them check. But 150-165 is whats in the owners manual.
