When Searching for Car Parts, Don’t Overlook Salvage

admin — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 18:35:02 +0000

When it’s time to buy car parts, you may be overlooking a potential source of quality parts at reduced prices. Salvage yards are sometimes the place to get exactly what you need without paying the high prices of dealer items and parts warehouses.

If you’re one of those handy people who can do your own tune-ups, change your own oil and handle minor repairs, congratulations. You have the skills to save thousands of dollars over the life of your car. But you also know that you can spend hundreds on car parts with a single trip to the auto supply house. And if you need an item that’s classified as a dealer-only part, you could easily be looking at thousands of dollars for the replacement.

So what’s the answer? Almost since the invention of the automobile, people have recognized the value of used car parts. When it’s time to work on your vehicle, used car parts can solve several problems, including cost and availability.

Especially for older cars or antique vehicles being restored, used car parts may very well be the only answer to your parts needs. You may not find any auto supply outlet with access to car parts for a ‘49 Studebaker pickup or a ‘32 Ford, but you may very well find salvage yards with cars that are being sold for parts.

Most salvage companies have hot lines that connect them with other companies. These are used to transfer information, such as requests for specific car parts. That means that you don’t have to hop from salvage yard to salvage yard in search of your car parts. You can simply check out a single salvage yard. If they don’t have what you’re looking for, they’re likely to find it from another dealer via the hot line.

You can often remove the car parts yourself to save even more money.

Newer models are especially difficult to find, but not impossible. Wrecked vehicles are often sold to salvage yards by the insurance companies where the autos are sold for parts. That means that you might find vehicles that are only a year old, or less.

Finding used car parts may take a bit of time, but you’ll may find rare parts and dealer parts at incredibly reduced cost.

Driving Safely in the Dark

admin — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 18:35:02 +0000

Safety is a primary concern for all drivers, especially atnight. Although there are fewer cars on the road, most fatal caraccidents happen at night than any other time of the day. Ourability to see the road ahead is seriously impaired at night.Darkness can dramatically alter the driver’s ability to copewith even the most normal driving conditions. As we are morevulnerable to dangerous road situations at night or in lowvisibility, we should double our preparedness, alertness andcommon sense when driving at night. Preventive maintenance isone of the best ways to protect ourselves from potentiallydangerous situations on the road. Here are some of the mostimportant points to consider when driving in the dark.The most important difference in night driving is visibility. Atnight, we become completely dependent on artificial sources oflight to help us see and show us where we are going. Highwaysigns, pedestrians, and other vehicles are more difficult to seeat night. Thus, lights, mirrors, and windows are doublyimportant at night. We should maintain clear, clean andscratch-free mirrors and windows. They should not be clouded bysteam, frost, water droplets or tarnished by cracks or scratches.Your entire car’s lighting equipments must be in good conditionto ensure safety when driving in the dark. Headlights, Tail Lights, CornerLights , signal lamps, license plate lights and othersall play a big role in your safety when driving at night. Yourlights should be turned on during the night especially duringperiods of rain, snow, hail, sleet or fog. Make sure that yourheadlights are properly aimed. Have it checked by a professionalto make sure that all the lights work. Keep your headlights andyour windshields clean. Remember that your lights are your onlycommunication with other drivers on the road. Make sure thatyour windshield is clean, clear and unobstructed so that you cansee what’s ahead of you. One of the most hazardous habits thatthat drivers do during the night is “overdriving” the headlightsof their vehicles. Headlights as well as other lights, mirrors, windows,windshields all play an important role in keeping you safe whendriving at night. Thus, these auto parts must be maintained ingood condition or replaced as soon as they get damaged ordefective. Fortunately, you can easily get replacement GMC Parts including GMCHeadlights, GMC Mirrors, GMC Window regulators and others.However, you should carefully choose the auto parts you aregoing to purchase.

Lemon Law Myths and Misconceptions

admin — Mon, 05 Apr 2010 18:35:02 +0000

Buying an automobile, truck, or sport utility vehicle is often adaunting, stressful and expensive process. People pay more moneyfor their cars than for just about anything other than theirhomes. And once the vehicle has been purchased, one hopes thatit will run just fine for the foreseeable future. Butsometimes things go wrong. For those situations, every state haspassed a lemon law, a statute that exists to backup themanufacturer’s written warranty that comes with the vehicle. Butmost people don’t know anything about lemon laws and rarely givethem a thought until something goes wrong. And once people startto given lemon laws some thought, they often realize that whatthey thought they knew about them is wrong. Here are afew things about lemon laws that are often misunderstood:

Used cars are covered under state lemon laws.Generally, this is not true. Most states’ lemon laws cover theoriginal owner of a new car only. If you are the second owner ofa car, even if it is still under warranty, you may find thatyour state’s lemon law doesn’t protect you. There are a fewstates that cover the car during the duration of the warrantyregardless of the number of owners and a few that even havespecial lemon law for used cars. If in doubt, check with yourstate’s Attorney General’s office.

If you buy anew car, you may return it for a refund within three days ofpurchase. Again, generally not true. It may be true if you buy atoaster, but for large purchases such as a car, once you buy it,you own it. For that reason, make sure that you test drive anynew vehicle that you are thinking about buying. And not just onelike it – drive the exact car you intend to buy. If you arebuying a used car, have an independent mechanic check it outbefore you buy to make sure that it is in goodorder.

The dealer must inform you if the vehiclehas been in an accident. Most states do not require this.Furthermore, it’s not always possible for a dealer to even knowif a vehicle has previously been in an accident. Dealers are,however, generally required to disclose information about anyknown damage to the vehicle. Don’t expect the dealer to beforthcoming with information that he or she may not necessarilywant you to know. Be proactive and ask a lot of questions. Andagain, if it’s a used car, be sure to have an independentmechanic look it over before you buy.

Lemon laws arethere to protect consumers from defects in workmanship and tomake sure that the dealer and/or manufacturer will repair anyproblems that arise during the warranty period. But a lemon lawis no substitute for diligence or research on the part of thebuyer. Know what you are getting into before you buy a car,truck or SUV.

“A Guide to Comparing Used Car Loan Rates” If you want to get the perfect car loan that fits your budget,it is foolhardy to just sign-up when you have not determined allof your available options. Before doing so, you might toconsider first the figures that you will be working with.Once you have determined the model of the car that you want,where you will be getting the loan from, and your monthlyallowance for the used car loan payment, you may proceed withsigning up. Then you will be on your way to owning the vehiclethat you want.There are a lot of web sites online which offer auto loan ratecalculators.These rates vary by state and city. There are also onlinelenders who offer a cheaper rate, as compared to getting carloans via banks who – more often than not – deny your loanapplication, especially for used vehicles.Research online and visit the used car dealers in your area.Collect the price quotes first to determine the current ratesfor the used cars available in the market.You can also ask around for the rates. You are bound to get moreresults by word of mouth, especially if you know car enthusiasts.Take the following as an example of the current used car rates:In California, three lenders who offer used car loans are theBank of America, Capital One Auto Finance and Wells Fargo Bank.For a used car loan, the Bank of America offers 20% down paymentand an 11.2% rate. You would add to this a $75 fee and a .25%discount with auto debit.The second lender, which is Capital One Auto Finance, offers a6.25 % rate and a 20% down payment. There are no applicationfees and prepayment penalties.Wells Fargo Bank offers an 8.88% rate and a 20% down, a $50application fee and a .25% discount with auto debit.At the end of the day, just compare these three rates anddetermine which offer would fit your budget.Also consider the distance, mileage and the final asking price.One more thing that you should consider when comparing rates isthe number of months for you to make the payments.There are several options. Some lenders offer a 36 month usedcar loan. For higher asking prices, longer payment terms areavailable.For a 36-month used car loan, for example, the rate offered is8.31%. This rate increases as the number of months increase.After researching and looking through all of your options,choose the lowest rate that you can get and remember not tooverspend when you have already reached a certain target budget.

6 Frequently Asked Questions about Motorcycle Tires

admin — Thu, 01 Apr 2010 18:35:02 +0000

Being inquisitive is part of our nature. Too many questions areasked. Moreover, we need real answers to these questions. In the field of motorcycles, especially on motorcycle parts, weare bombarded with questions about tires. Here are the questionsand their corresponding answers.1. What’s the right tire age?Basically, the principle is the newer the tire the better.However, to make a tire last longer the tire’s age is of lesserimportance. But be careful not to buy tires which are over sixor seven years old. You will be able to know their date ofmanufacturing by searching for the three or four-digit numberstamped in the tire’s sidewall. For instance, 2101 stands for21st week of 2001 – which is its manufacturing date.2. Why are new tires better?First, new tires are better because it is organic and itdecomposes. Second because the older the tire gets, the more itis exposed to outgassing. Outgassing makes the tire brittle. 3. What will I do in case of a flat tire?Motorcycle tires flex from more directions. Unlike car tires,motorcycle tire has only the other tire to prevent it fromfalling. Thus, the best thing to do in case of a flat tire is toreplace it and not just plug it.4. When is there a need for replacement?It depends. Front tires may still shot even when there is stillample rubber. In fact, they may still look good even if theyhave gone through considerable heat cycles. They can also cup orscallop when already having uneven surface. This is the besttime to replace them. 5. What about size and pressure?Run the bike in the recommended tire pressure. It is so simple.You just have to stick to the manufacturers guidelines. That isthe safest and the best thing that you can do. Nevertheless, youcan have some deviations depending on your desired performance.Moreover, you have to check tire pressure regularly. 6. When to buy a tire?You can buy tires at reputable motorcycle stores. These storeshave already established their names and services. You can alsoorder online. But this remedy is a gamble because it will notguarantee that you will be getting newly manufactured tires.When you buy tires personally, you have the opportunity tochoose the freshest tire in the store. You also have the chanceto compare prices and quality.

Why Hybrids Require Less Maintenance

admin — Wed, 31 Mar 2010 18:35:02 +0000

Hybrid cars are excellent choices for helping the environment byusing less fuel and more efficiency, but hybrids also requireless maintenance. Hybrid vehicles are designed to require lessservice and are made to last longer and run better made than aconventional car. When deciding between a hybrid and a traditional car, allfactors should be considered. Hybrid vehicles are lower onemissions, use less fuel and because they have fewer parts, tendto last longer. The following are three reasons by hybrids go infor less maintenance.The generator of a hybrid can take on multiple tasks. The generator on a hybrid is an important aspect of the car. Ahybrid uses a separate gas engine that powers the generator. Theengine on most hybrids are very small, usually a ten to twentyhorsepower. It is designed to run at one speed to get maximumefficiency. The generator of a hybrid is able help to take onthe tasks of several other parts of the car. This reduces wearand tear on parts that often need replacement on a conventionalcar. Because the generator takes on several tasks, the hybridcar is able to recapture energy when coasting or breaking torecharge the battery. This reduces battery usage and the batteryin a hybrid will need to be replaced less often. Because thegenerator handles 80 percent of the braking, the brake life isextended, as well. Also, with a hybrid, there is the reducedchance of having warped rotors due to less heat to the generatordoing more of the break work. Another advantage of having less wear on the break system fromthe generator is that the brake fluid life is extended becausethere is minimal contamination of fluid due to less heat buildup. Break pads on a hybrid tend to last longer, as well. A hybrid vehicle has less car parts to wear out than atraditional car. Because of the way hybrids are built, they use less auto parts.Less auto parts means less vehicle wear and replacement. Thistype of technology also does away with a regular starter. Nothaving a starter makes one less component that will need to bereplaced over time. With no starter, there is no way toaccidentally grind the flywheel. The battery and motor of a hybrid do not require any maintenanceover the life of the car. The engine is also designed to lastlonger and does not require any more maintenance than atraditional car. The air conditioning system used in a hybrid car works byelectricity and non-hybrid cars use a traditional pulley drivenoff a gas motor. Because the car is not running the gas motor tocool the car, there is no air conditioning belt to wear out. Inaddition, there is no belt required for the steering. Becausethe steering is electric and not hydraulic, is has minimalkickback when driving over rough or uneven roads. There is usually no valve adjustments needed in a hybrid either.Because the motor is not constantly running, it does not wearthe valve system out, if present in the car. Also, injectors ina hybrid may never need to be cleaned. There is less depositover time on the injectors, requiring less maintenance.Hybrid cars usually come with longer warranties.Many makers of hybrid cars such as Honda and Toyota offer longerwarranties on hybrids than on traditional cars. The HondaInsight offers an eight year or 80,000 mile warranty on hybrids.This includes the batteries and the power train. The ToyotaPrius offers buyers with an eight-year or 100,000 mile warrantyon the battery and the hybrid system. Longer warranties on thesecars make an attractive feature for buyers looking for a moreefficient way of driving.When choosing between a conventional car and a hybrid look atall of the long-term possibilities. Hybrid cars can offerdrivers a longer lasting car because they are built to lastlonger. Hybrids are also worth considering because they requireless maintenance than a regular car. They offer better fueloverall efficiency, have less parts that wear out over time andmany makers of hybrids offer longer warranties.

Chemically Improving Your Gas Mileage In Your Car

admin — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 18:35:01 +0000

What if you could actually improve your gas mileage significantly (5-20%)? Not have to alter your driving habits? Not have to install any extra questionable parts on your car? What if it were as easy to do as 1-2-3?

Well, it is.

For years Big Oil has offered three or so different grades of gas octane 87 regular, 89-90 premium and 91-94 super.These grades are actually based upon a 100 octane scale where the cleanest burning, most ideal fuel was propane (clean burn fuel). But the scale never took into account arromatic petrol compounds and derivatives which can actually surpass the 100 octane mark, some as high as 115-130 octane.

So the object here is to get the engine running the cleanest burning fuel possible, leave less soot and deposits in the combustion chamber and on the valves, clean the injection system, or in older cars the carburetor, not hurt emmisions systems, not void our warranty, and, in the end, get increased gas mileage and increased engine life. Wow, thats a lot. It really isn’t, though.

In recent tests it has been proven that arromatic petroleum distillates, alcohol (methyl alcohol), ether, acetone, and toluene can and will do all of these. That is to a point. If you make the fuel mixture too rich you can actually do the opposite. The ideal mixture found that was easiest to obtain and handle was 1-2 ounces of acetone per full tank (acetone can be found at your local hardware store or paint supply shop). This was tested on everything from 4-8 cylinder gas engines to big Cummings diesel engines. The range in increase of fuel efficincy was 5-20% and the average being 9%. It was found if you used 3 or more ounces per tank ful results were the same or worse than without the acetone – the mixture was too rich.

The effects of the acetone were then tested on the fuel line components themselves for resilience and it was found that unlike methyl alcohol (racing fuel) it did not have a caustic effect. Acetone will have a etching effect on paint, plastic headlight lenses, etc… Spills should be wiped up immediately.

So, to make the story short and get straight to the point, if you wanted to add an average of 9% fuel efficiency to your vehicle and do it for less than $.50 per fillup – its as easy as adding 1-2 ounces acetone per tankfull. Thats it – the only problems are Big Oil doesn’t want you to know how to save on gas and you may still void you warranty as they now test for gas additives like acetone.

Also, one last note, acetone or any additive that makes your engine more efficient and burn cleaner is better for the environment – less emmissions.
