Kiplinger's Personal Finance Magazine Savings Tips for You and Your car

2011-03-04T12:11:00.000-08:00

Go indie. If your car is off warranty, take it to an independent repair shop. We commissioned Murky Research and Development to do some research and found that, overall, dealers charge 15% more than independent repair shops for the same repairs. Why? Higher labor rates. Savings: $220.

Get a checkup. Regular service can spot lots of problems that reduce gas mileage and increase pollution, such as a broken thermostat, low transmission fluid, sticky brake calipers or a dirty air filter. You could increase your fuel economy by as much as 10% -- enough to cover the cost of the service and buy a supersize falafel sandwich with free-range bean sprouts. Savings: $194.

Today is Employee Appreciation Day

2011-03-04T05:31:00.000-08:00

Today we are honoring our mechanic, "Gandi".

He has been with us for almost 10 years.

Gandi is very knowlegable with all cars, domestic and foreign. He is a wiz at troubleshooting problems.

So today we are "raising our glass" to him

THANK YOU GANDI !!!

Today honors employees everywhere.

Celebrations today should be created and executed by your company. Recognitions vary widely, and may include a lunch, snack, cakes, or other munchies, and small recognition gifts. Don't expect a day off. Chances are, it just won't happen.

As we researched this day, we wondered if it was a coincidence that Employee's Day and Bosses Day are six months apart.....hmmmmmm.

On a personal note...

2011-03-03T05:34:00.000-08:00

Today is our puggles 3rd birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRUTIS !!!!

Today is If Pets Had Thumbs Day

2011-03-03T05:32:00.000-08:00

Are you all thumbs with you car???
You should find a reliable local repair shop and use them for ALL your services. They will keep records of your car and the work that has een done to it. It's better to have a relationship with one repair place, rather than taking it to several places. It will save you time and money in the long run.

CHECK YOUR DASHBOARD FOR MESSAGES

2011-03-02T06:33:00.000-08:00

Your vehicles dashboard will send you messages if there is a problem.

Make sure to pay attention to those messages. Whether it's your Check Engine Light, low fluids, tire monitors....your car is telling you something needs to be checked.

Reading you dashboard and acting on the problem could avoid costly repairs

Speaking of reading....

Today is Dr. Seuss's Birthday. He was born in 1904.

Whether old or young, we are all familair with his work, from books, to movies, and the classic

"The Grinch Who Stole Christmas"

NATIONAL PEANUT BUTTER LOVER'S DAY

2011-03-01T05:56:00.000-08:00

Today is a sticky day. National Peanut Butter Lover's Day salutes America's favorite sandwich spread. What kid didn't grow up loving a PB&J sandwich? It's a staple in our house.

Smooth Peanut Butter is by far the most popular. Crunchy peanut butter is also on the market, and is enjoyed by many. Peanut Butter is not limited to a Peanut Butter and Jelly (PB&J) sandwich. It's popular on crackers, celery and other "peanut butter" holders. It is also used in recipes for cookies and snacks. And, don't forget peanut butter candies, too! Did you Know? Peanut Butter is 90% or more peanuts. While it has no artificial preservatives, an opened jar is stored on a shelf at room temperature.

Wax your car regularly to protect the car's paint job. Spray waxes are tempting to use, but there is no etter shine than the good old sticky wax. Remember to wax your car in the shade.

Public Sleeping Day

2011-02-28T05:56:00.000-08:00

Public Sleeping Day is an opportunity to sleep in public.

We can think of a whole lot of places to sleep in the public eye. And, today is the day to do it.

You can sleep on a park bench. You can doze on a blanket on the beach. Some people may opt to sleep on the job.

They do so at their own risk. Have you ever caught twenty winks on a bus or subway traveling to or from work? Sure, we all have.

Wherever you choose to sleep today, we hope it is peaceful and restful.

Make sure you have enough rest for long road trips. Falling asleep while driving is the #2 cause of accidents.

If you feel yourself starting to nod off, open the windows and let the fresh air in.

Put your stereo a little louder than normal, and change the station. Put on music you don't normally listen to.

February 27th is No Brainer Day

2011-02-25T07:20:00.000-08:00

By definition, a "No brainer" is dong something that is simple, easy, obvious, and/or totally logical. Therefore, today is the day for you to do all those "no brainer" tasks and activities. If a project requires thinking, study, or analysis of any kind, then its not the chore to do today.

Some people think that Christmas should be every day of the year. They even sing that theme in popular holiday songs. But, we think that No Brainer Day should be every day of the year.

We think you'll quickly get the hang of the concept of the day. And, were certain you will excel at

No Brainer Day!

WHEN YOU NEED TO ADD WASHER FLUID TO YOUR VEHICLE...

MAKE SURE YOU ADD WASHER FLUID AND NOT JUST WATER.

WATER CAN FREEZE AND CAUSE STRESS ON YOUR WASHER MOTOR, CAUSING IT TO BREAK.

February 26th is National Pistachio Day

2011-02-25T07:14:00.000-08:00

You can celebrate National Pistachio Day by eating them, and learning more about them. We're going to help with the learning part........ read on. Nutty Pistachio Facts:
Pistachios grow on trees. They are native to the Middle East.
Its a long wait to get the first nut. A pistachio tree takes 7-10 years to mature.
California is the major producer in the U.S.
Pistachios are harvested in September by machines that shake the trees. It less than a minute.
The red dye is added to the nuts is only due to consumer demand for the color.
Its open hull is unique. The nut is ripe when the hull splits open.
People in the Middle East call it the "smiling nut" and in China its called the "happy nut". Pistachios are nutritious, so eat them up!

SPEAKING OF FOOD.....

IF YOU HAVE KIDS, ESPECIALLY KIDS IN CAR SEATS,

PLACE A TOWEL UNDER THE CAR SEAT.

FOOD BITS AND LIQUIDS CAN ACCUMULATE UNDER THE SEAT AND POSSIBLY PERMANENTLY STAIN THE UPHOLSTERY. PLACE AN OLD SHEET OR TOWEL UNDER THE CAR SEAT TO PREVENT DAMAGES.

OUR SERVICES DO NOT VOID YOUR MANUFACTURER WARRANTY

2011-02-25T05:44:00.000-08:00

IN FACT...IT'S AGAINST THE LAW !!

FEDERAL LAW PROHIBITS NEW CAR DEALERS FROM DENYING WARRANTY SERVICE BECAUSE ROUTINE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE WAS PERFORMED AT AN INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP.

MAGNUSON-MOSS ACT (1975)

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR YOU?

YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO TAKE YOUR CAR BACK TO THE DEALER FOR SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE (IE OIL CHANGES, FLUSHING SERVICES)

IN THE EVENT YOU NEED A BIG REPAIR THAT IS COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER, AND THEY ASK FOR SERVICE RECORDS OF THE VEHICLE, YOUR WARRANTY WORK WILL STILL BE COVERED.

SO KEEP A FOLDER OF ALL THE WORK YOUR CAR HAS HAD DONE SO YOU WILL HAVE THE RECORDS YOU NEED, IF YOU SHOULD EVER NEED THEM.

YOUR TRUSTED REPAIR SHOP SHOULD ALSO KEEP RECORDS OF ANY AND ALL SERVICES DONE TO YOUR CAR.

KEEP YOUR CAR CLEAN INSIDE

2011-02-24T05:55:00.000-08:00

Clean your interior each time you wash your car. Dirt particles are abrasive and can damage surfaces.

Make sure to clean your gauges with a soft cloth.

Remove your mats, shake and vacuum them. If they are really dirt, blast them with a hose. Make sure to let them dry thoroughly in the sun before reinstalling them.

Don't forget the Armor-All. Leather seats, door panels, dashboards. It helps protect them from fading and keeps them from drying out.

International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day

2011-02-23T08:33:00.000-08:00

Because there is no one else who can really appreciate the true value of a dog biscuit. They say "Every dog has his day". And, it will definitely be his day,when you give him some tasty dog biscuits.
You might appreciate their value in pleasing your dog, as a reward for behavior, or enticing them to do a trick. But, the dog is the recipient of the treat.

Celebrate today by giving your dog a few dog biscuits.

So throw yourself a bone...Get out and wash and wax your car! Make it look all new and shiny. Not only will it look good, it helps protect the paint. Especially after all the snow we have had...SALT EATS CARS !!!

Erosion happens faster when the temperatures goes up and down.

And make sure your mechanic uses fender covers when repairing your car. Tools can scratch the surface, and spilled fluids can strip the paint.

National Walk Your Dog Day

2011-02-22T06:06:00.000-08:00

Walking the Dog Day is a special day that your dog looks forward to all year long. But, wait a minute.....

....Don't you walk your dog just about every day? Sure you do! And, weather permitting, its enjoyable for you and your dog.

On this day walking with your dog is a must. If you don't have a dog, perhaps you can join a friend while he or she walks their dog.

Make sure you walk around your car occasionally to check for loose moldings, weatherstripping, and window chips. Also peek at your tires once in a while to make sure they are not cracked or dry rotted. Make sure your wheel-well splashguards are secured to the vehicle and not hanging off.

LOVE YOUR PET DAY

2011-02-21T05:23:00.000-08:00

OK, So I missed this weekends post.

Yesterday was Love your Pet Day!

Love Your Pet Day is day to pamper your pet.
People just love their pets, and today is an easy excuse to spend time with them, and to give them special treats. Whether its a dog, a cat, a fish, a pet snake, or your pet rock......give them lots of love and attention today.
Interestingly, Ecard companies have a wide choice of cards for today. There are many cards to send to pet owners to make them smile and feel good. However, we did not find a single Ecard to be sent to the pet. ........hmmm.

If you don't have a pet, maybe today is the day to adopt a pet. Take a trip to your local Humane Society, and bring home an animal that needs you. It will make you both feel good.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME !!!!

2011-02-18T05:18:00.000-08:00

Today is my birthday, so instead of "working" to publish this, today I'd like to share some Birthday Trivia with everyone....

The melody for the Happy Birthday song was first penned by two sisters, Mildred and Patty Hill.

In England, when you reach 80, 90 or 100 years of age, you receive a telegram from the Queen.
More people celebrate their birthdays in August than in any other month. The two other months in which birthday rates are high is July and September. Close to two billion Birthday Cards are sent each year in the U.S. alone, accounting for nearly 58 percent of all cards sent.

The world's largest birthday cake was created in 1989 it weighed 128,238 pounds, 8 oz. and used 16,209 pounds of icing.
Anne Frank's world famous diary was given to her when she was thirteen years old.
Paul McCartney's Birth Certificate was auctioned in March 1997, for US $84,146. It is believed to be the world's most expensive Birth Certificate.
William Shakespeare's died on his 52nd birthday: 23 April 1616.

2011-02-17T05:20:00.000-08:00

It is against the law for a man to knit during the fishing season.
If you have been convicted of driving while intoxicated, you may never again apply for personalized license plates.

You cannot pump your own gas. All gas stations are full service and full service only.
Automobiles are not to pass horse drawn carriages on the street.
It is illegal to delay or detain a homing pigeon.

Some smart rules to follow anywhere are:

Be patient with your new car break-in period. Don't allow your car to idle for long periods of time during the initial break-in period.

Try not go go over 55 mph for the first 1,000 miles.

As always, choose a good car insurer.

And keep a pen and pad in your glovebox, and make yourself notes of any new sounds, vibrations, etc. That way, when you take it in to be serviced, you can tell your mechanic what the issues are in your car.

National "Do a Grouch a Favor Day"

2011-02-16T05:38:00.000-08:00

Do a Grouch a Favor today.

Do it and make the world a better place.

Everyone has been a grouch at one time or another. Some people are seemingly grouches all of the time. It's in their nature. Others are occasional grouches, influenced by events in their lives, lack of sleep, the weather, etc. A few people are good at disguising their grouchy mood. But, they still need cheering up.

Look around for someone who is in a grouchy mood today. Then, do him or her a favor that will cheer up their day. There's plenty of grouches out there to practice on. Try it on all of the grouches that you see today, and watch the results!

So when your stuck in the mud or snow, don't make the problem worse by damaging and expensive component. Gently rock the car in an attempt to free it.

Throwing your car from forward to reverse and spinning your tires at high speeds can spell trouble for transmissions, clutches, and differentials. It may be cheaper in the long run to call a tow truck rather than risk high repair bills down the road. It's also a good idea to carry a traction aid in your trunk, such as sand, gravel, or cat litter.

MORE CAR CARE TIPS.....

2011-02-15T11:27:00.000-08:00

CHANGE YOUR OIL EVERY 3000 MILES, OR PER YOUR SPECIFIC MANUFACTURER RECOMENDATION FOR YOUR VEHICLE

AVOID OVERFILLING YOUR CRANKCASE WITH OIL

GAS SAVING TIP # 9

2011-02-03T08:00:00.000-08:00

WHEN THE AIR FILTER CLOGS WITH DUST, DIRT, AND BUGS, IT CAUSES YOUR ENGINE TO WORK HARDER AND YOU CAR BECOMES LESS FUEL-EFFICIENT. THE CAR CARE COUNCIL RECOMMENDS CHANGING YOUR AIR FILTER WHEN YOU HAVE YOUR OIL CHANGED.

GAS SAVING TIP # 8

2011-02-02T07:34:00.000-08:00

KEEP YOUR ENGINE IN TUNE

BE SURE TO DO REGULAR TUNE-UPS ON YOUR VEHICLE. A SPARK PLUG THAT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY CAN REDUCE A CAR'S FUEL EFFICIENCY AS MUCH AS 30%

GAS SAVING TIP # 7

2011-02-02T07:31:00.000-08:00

CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE ONCE A MONTH

BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR TIRE PRESSURE WHEN YOUR TIRES ARE COLD, LIKE IN THE MORNING AFTER YOUR CAR HAS BEEN SITTING OVERNIGHT.

BUY A DIGITAL GAUGE AND KEEP IT IN THE GLOVEBOX. COMPARE THE PRESSURE TO THE PRESSURE THE MANUFACTURER RECCOMMENDS, AND INFLATE AS NEEDED.

Gas Saving tip #6

2011-02-01T05:41:00.000-08:00

Pump Up Your Tires

UNDERINFLATED TIRES WEAR DOWN MORE QUICKLY AND ALSO LOWER YOUR GAS MILEAGE.

GO FOR THE SHADE

IF YOU LET YOUR CAR BAKE IN THE SUN, THERE'S GOING TO BE A GREATER AMOUNT OF EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS THAT TAKE PLACE. SO PARK YOUR CAR IN THE SHADE OF A TREE OR BUILDING WHENEVER POSSIBLE. 

GAS SAVINGS TIP # 3

2011-01-26T05:30:00.000-08:00

TIGHTEN UP THE GAS CAP

DON'T JUST TOP OFF YOUR TANK

DON'T BOTHER TOPPING OFF WHEN FILLING YOUR CAR'S GAS TANK. AND ADDITIONAL GAS IS JUST GOING TO SLOP AROUND OR SEEP OUT. WHY WASTE YOUR MONEY PAYING FOR GAS YOUR CAR WON'T USE. STOP PUMPING AT THE FIRST INDICATION THAT YOUR TANK IS FULL WHEN THE AUTOMATIC NOZZLE CLICKS OFF.

I WILL START POSTING TIPS DAILY FOR THE NEXT 10 DAYS THAT CAN HELP YOU SAVE MONEY ON GAS.

WITH THE PRICE OF GAS TODAY, EVERY PENNY HELPS.

TODAYS TIP....

FILL UP WITH A LOWER OCTANE GASOLINE

BUY THE LOWEST GRADE OR OCTANE OF GAS THAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR YOUR CAR. UNLESS YOUR CAR REQUIRES PREMIUM GAS, FILLING YOUR CAR WITH HIGH OCTANE FUEL IS A WASTE OF MONEY. THE PRICEY PREMIUM FUEL WON'T BOOST YOUR CAR'S FUEL ECONOMY OR PERFORMANCE IN THE LEAST, SO SKIP IT.
IF YOUR NOT SURE WHAT GRADE OF FUEL WORKS BEST FOR YOUR CAR, CHECK YOUR OWNERS MANUAL.

LOKDOC LOCKSMITH TIP...

2011-01-25T08:18:00.000-08:00

LIGHTEN UP YOUR KEYCHAIN

Does your car key share a chain with a dozen or more other keys? That’s a pretty heavy load hanging off the car key when it’s in the ignition.The weight, combined with bouncing while you drive, can wear out the tumblers inside the ignition and eventually lead to ignition switch failure.To add years of service to your ignition switch, purchase a lightweight key chain that allows you to separate your ignition key from the others. Drive with only the ignition key in your ignition. If your ignition key “sticks” when you try to turn on the car, it’s a warning that your ignition switch is about to fail. Replace it before you get stranded.

I can create and program 97% of the keys available for Automobiles, on the spot we can replace your lost keys or open your locked vehicle. We will have you back in your vehicle in no time. The police won't open your vehicle, todays vehicles are equipped with anti theft measures that make it to hard for them to unlock your vehicle without doing damage to the mechanisms.

TIRE PRESSURES

2011-01-24T15:09:00.000-08:00

Is your Tire Pressure light on? There could be a few reasons why. First, your TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring Sensors) could be telling you that your tires are not inflated to the proper pressure. Make sure to check your Owners Manual for correct pressure. (HINT: Your pressure levels are almost always posted on a sticker on your inside Drivers Door Panel.)
Second, with all the snow we have had, you could have ran over a nail, screw, or almost anything and it's stuck in your tire, causing a slow leak which in turn will set off your tire pressure light. If you find yourself having to add air to a certain tire every other day, you might have something in your tire. Stop by the shop and let us check it out. In most cases, we can extract the item from the tire and get you back on the road without the expense of having to buy a new tire.

Hi all! Fair Haven Service Center has just started a "BLOG" to keep everyone informed of upcoming sales and promotions. We hope you will check back frequently for specials.

We have been servicing the Fair Haven, New Jersey community for over 50 years.
We are a Family Owned business.

We can service all your automotive needs, from plugging tires to complete engine repairs.

REGULAR MAINTENANCE ON YOUR NEW CAR DONE AT OUR SHOP WILL NOT VOID YOUR WARRANTY. WHY WAIT HOURS AT THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE? With our quick oil change service, you can enjoy the town of Fair Haven and have breakfast or lunch while your car is being serviced. Once your done, your car will be waiting for you.

We are a NJ Licensed Private Inspection Facility (PIF 003845) for all your motor vehicle inspection needs. We do Passenger cars, and Commercial vehicles from 1996 and newer.
Passenger cars should be inspected every two (2) years, and Commercial vehilces are now yearly.

For more information, or to schedule your next appointment, call us at 732-741-9642.
