Automobile repair is one of the most important services people buy. At some point, any car will break down, leaving the owner stuck with no method to get to work, go shopping, take the children to college, or get to the doctor's office or surgery. Shoppers need to have confidence that their car will be correctly serviced on the 1st try. They also wish to get the best value on quality repairs. An auto

auto owners depend on their auto service professional for honesty. They need to know what the issue is, what the correct cost will be, and when the auto will be ready. Consumers don't like surprises. They want an accurate diagnosis, not a guess, and an estimation that's on target. Nothing is more upsetting than having an automobile in the shop for service that gets damaged through carelessness. Customers are searching for a partner which will professionally care for your car even though it's in the store, and do everything to help you while they have it. Customers also desire a vehicle service will stand behind their work even after the automobile leaves the store, so if something goes wrong when they get back on the road, they know their auto service will be there, standing behind all of their work.

They have what's required to get your auto running right, from state of the art equipment to an ASE certificated staff. They want to add you to their extensive list of happy customers.

To Be, Or Not To Be, The Future Of The Automotive Industry

If there is one thing that we know about Americans it's quite simply this, when it come to cars, we will not be told what to do, we love our cars, no matter what brand we love, we are fiercely loyal to it, but lately we've had the government trying to force the green thing on to us.

I listened to a scientist on the radio talking about this very things the other day, and this particular scientist had proof that all the little things that we're doing won't curb the earth from going through it's natural cycle, all this has happened before, and it will happen again.

He said that if we shut down every plant that emits carbon in to the air, and never drove another car again, that we would not live long enough to feel the affect of it, but because of the politicians we will go green like it or not, because it will be very lucrative for them.

We already have politicians predicting that the United States will all be driving electric cars at some point, I hope to be dead by then, I am one of those stubborn American's that likes car the way that they are, I like being able to have fun with my car, without being an electrical engineer.

Contrary to popular belief, I don't think that electric cars will save the world, the same as I didn't about hybrids, I don't think that a free American should be forced to drive any car that they don't want to drive, and I don't think that they should eliminate gas powered cars ever.

I love my country, and the world that we live in, but I happen to believe that we don't need the entire world to turn in to tree hugging hippies, we need to remain free if this country is to remain to be the United States Of America, if not, then fine let's all buy in to the idiocy of go green.

They all say that electric cars will save the automotive industry, they said the same thing about hybrids, and we seen how many Americans bought those things, yes I'll admit a few Americans did, and I even liked that idea, just not at the expense of a traditional gas powered car.

I think that the future of the automotive industry will be a combination of all of these things, because there are people like me, who refuse to drive an electric car, or a hybrid, if is is to replace our good old gas powered cars.

I say if you want a hybrid, fine go out and buy one tomorrow, but I should not be forced to drive some turd that I can't even stand to be seen in, like I said I can see the idea of a duel fuel hybrid, or even a car that runs on water, but I refuse to become a tree hugging hippie.

I by the same token will never be that guy that sells out his own country by saying that other countries are building better cars, I am an American, I refuse to drive a Toyota Prius, or anything of the sort, and if yo ever see me chained to a tree, do me the favor of killing me.

I hate anything that presumes to tell an American citizen what he, or she must do about a certain thing, and so I say what will save the automotive industry is a good combination of all of these things, and for the idea of auto workers being in a union to be rethought.

The UAW has been working for years to kill the industry, and they car about nothing but the union, it's time to kick them down a notch, take some of the power and money from them, and then let's see how cocky they are, maybe that will shut their mouths.

What I'm saying here is that it's not only the cars that need to be redone, it's the management, and most of all the unions, to solve the problem you either need to fix the things that are causing the problem, or get rid of them completely.

So let's do that by first getting rid of Obama's yes men from the industry, and working our way through the rest of it a step at a time, it's not a quick fix, but then again it took over 100 years for the problems to start screwing things up, and it may take some time to fix it.

If they were to locate the right management for the big three, people that actually care about the product that they sell, and the employees that make the product, people who can decide not to sign the next union contract that comes through the doors, we may see them return again.

I have said for years that the union would kill the industry, and they had a lot to do with all of the crap that is going on, if you don't believe me, all you need to do is to study up a bit, it will not take you long to understand what I'm saying, it won't take you long to see the light on this subject.

Pedestrian Safety By Brenda Williams

Brenda Williams

Pedestrians can be the bane of existence for many drivers- especially those pedestrians who don't pay attention and feel that they can do whatever they want to while they are outside. However, pedestrians need to remember that they must share the roads with drivers in order to maintain overall safety for everyone and avoid costly accidents.


There have been many times that I have been driving down the road early in the mornings and have seen children waiting for the bus by sitting on the curb of a busy road with their feet just begging to be run over by an unsuspecting driver. I remember being a child on the school bus when my bus driver saw this very same incident play out, and to this day I remember what she did. She stopped the bus, got off the bus and told the child who was sitting on the curb that it was not safe to be sitting down on the curb so close to the road. Her reason for this was that by having a child sit down like that, it made it more difficult for other drivers to see the child in the morning when it was still somewhat dark out. And you know what? She was right.


People who like to ride their bicycles during the day need to remember the importance of safety as well. Depending on where you live, there may be different rules from the ones that I am about to give. But normal, a cyclist needs to ride in the roadway (not on the sidewalk) and must have a helmet on. Additionally, the cyclist must ride with traffic (not against traffic) and obey any and all rules for the road as if they were a vehicle. This means no running red lights and indicating when you are about to make a turn onto a different roadway. If you are a pedestrian cyclist, you should still wear a helmet at all times despite the fact that you are riding your bicycle on the sidewalk. In the case of a pedestrian cyclist, pedestrian cyclists always need to yield the right of way to other pedestrians who are jogging or walking. If you are coming up on a jogger or someone walking, wait until you are a certain closeness away (typically within earshot) and alert the jogger or person walking as to which side you are coming up on, this way they can move to the opposite side. When you are preparing to cross the street, you are supposed to get off of your bike and walk your bike across the roadway.


For those of us who love to run outside, it can sometimes be a pain to do so if you are trying to fit a run in in the middle of the day or in the afternoon when traffic is heavier. If you can, try to do your runs earlier in the morning when there isn't as much traffic and when you can breathe a little easier. The same rules apply to runners as do pedestrian cyclists when it comes to slower pedestrians. Always make your presence known by telling others what side you are coming up on. For instance, when you are approaching another pedestrian from behind, it would be appropriate to say, “Coming up on your left”. This is especially true if the other pedestrian is walking a dog or is elderly.
