Beware the Shady Practices of Auto Warranty Companies

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

Do not always believe when auto warranty companies claim that their warranty can not be refunded.  One hundred percent of extended car warranties are refundable within thirty days provided no claims have been made.  If in any instance you feel that you were in some way forced to purchase or getl a Ford, Hyundai or Honda warranty that you didn’t want, do not hesitate to get your money back.   

If a warranty company has a reputable standing, it does not need to trash the competition or badmouth the other company’s warranty contract.  You need to see them point out their own warranty company merits, offers and packages and not the competitor’s “worthless” clauses in order to make a sale.  Though it is a competitive world out there, the only way to stand out is to offer excellent and ethical service.  In this case, action speaks louder than words.

What Can Radio Controlled Airplanes Teach You…

Saturday, September 30th, 2006

When I was about 8 years old my older brother got interested in model airplanes. He had one that was connected to a control handle by fine wires. It flew around in circles whilst he stood in the middle controlling it.  I can still smell the fuel and hear the high pitched wine of the engine as I caused it to rise and dip as this fast moving object tried to pull my arm off!

Buying Used Cars

Buying Used Cars
If you do not take the step of going to a mechanic, then your seller must have accurate records of all labor and parts.

It is highly important that they changed the timing belt for instance within the last 40,000 miles. Are there good records of oil changes? Check the lines where the doors meet the body. If the lines between body parts are not even, it is a good sign the car was damaged in an accident and repaired.

Automotive blue book for car purchasing

Thursday, September 28th, 2006

Of course, neither the consumer reports guide, the NADA or the automotive blue book really are enough on their own. The automotive blue book will give you best information on how much to pay, and the consumer reports guide and NADA guides will tell you about what you should look for and provide detailed specs and photos etc, but there is no substitute for getting the car inspected by a qualified vehicle mechanic. Research can only take you so far.

NO credible link between oral cancer and teeth whiteners.

Wednesday, September 27th, 2006

Medical colleges and universities are always attempting to find links between substances such as teeth whiteners and the possibilities of increasing the chances for cancer and other diseases. Georgetown University Hospital has performed research on a potential link between oral cancer, and the likelihood that teeth whiteners contribute to increased risk of it.
Though early studies suggested the idea of a link between the two, little information actually exists to prove such a statement. Scientific studies require control of outside factors to isolate a specific trait, or action among participants to allow researchers to compare findings side by side. Unfortunately, due to the dearth of participation in the study, Georgetown was unable to separate members of the study into effective test groups in order to eliminate the probability that results were affected by outside factors, use of tobacco products
