Different Types of Winter Wiper Blades Available

Winter wiper blades are inexpensive, and should be put on cars before cold, snowy weather moves in. The winter blades are designed specifically for harsher conditions. They are able to move ice and snow more easily, making it safer for you to drive in winter weather. There are several types of winter blades available. Here’s a quick look at a few of them and the differences and advantages to each.

Silicone Blades

A silicone blade will use a wiping surface made of silicone rather than rubber. Silicone can withstand colder temperatures without freezing and cracking as rubber can. The silicone surface will provide a clearer field of vision during times of freezing rain or snow. They also last much longer than rubber blades, and many are available with lifetime guarantees. You may pay extra out of pocket when you purchase these, but you’ll save money in the long run. At … Continue reading >>>

Auto Detailing At Your Quick Lube – It’s Working for Some Operators

The other day I was reading National Oil and Lube News, an industry magazine for the oil change and quick lube sector. It’s the mainstay of the industry, and everyone who owns a quick lube reads it cover to cover each month, it’s well-known, and I have visited their headquarters in Lubbock Texas. It’s a good group of folks, they know what they’re talking about, and the content is exceptional. In any case there was a quick blurb in the back of the magazine in the July issue of 2012 about auto detailing as an ancillary business unit for a quick lube operation. Okay so, I know little bit about this, so let’s talk.

Indeed, I founded a mobile detailing company which turned into a national franchise operation many years ago prior to retirement. One thing we noted is that we ended up with auto dealership accounts, and we used … Continue reading >>>

Effects of Brexit over car financing and UK’s economy

Car buyers are very likely to look for even more flexibility within their car finance agreements in the face of a hard Brexit. The car finance sector is likely to be affected deeply by Britain’s decision of ceasing to be a part of the EU.

Car buyers’ spending plans have been influenced by the risk of recession. Failing consumer confidence is now evident.

Moreover, several economic experts have the opinion that in the short or medium term, no positive transformations for the situation are visible. A hard Brexit is sure to render many effects over the British economy. Even the best among them would be the kind that Britain would have to be wary of.

The effects would not only be evident over car financing but instead the overall aspect of the used-car market. The tightening of the underwriting rules is likely if we go by the historical precedents. But … Continue reading >>>

What Do You Think of When You Hear Automotive Training?

When you hear the words “automotive training,” what kind of student do you picture? An aspiring automotive service technician? The fact is that many auto colleges offer a wider range of courses, for dispatchers, managers, salespeople and truck drivers alike.

Automotive training for dispatchers

Dispatchers learn how to use the two-way radio and other tools of the trade at dispatcher-specific courses offered in the same kind of establishments as cater to aspiring mechanics.

Why automotive training helps dispatchers: Dispatchers who go on to work for trucking companies will be required to use a variety of sophisticated logistics software packages. Learning them in school can give new job applicants a real edge over the competition, because it gives them a chance to try out new skills in a more relaxed atmosphere where failure does not translate into money lost.

For managers, too

Running a garage involves technical know-how, but … Continue reading >>>
