| Give your car the windshield repair Austin it needs. by Michaell Taylor |
You wake up early in Round Rock to prepare for that big business meeting you have for that day only to discover that when you’re about to drive to work you have a chip in your windshield. You think the kids next door must have thrown something accidentally on your windshield again, so no big deal. You put off your windshield repair Austin for tomorrow. The next day however, you notice the little chip has grown to a bigger crack. You think the sun’s heat must have caused the chip to grow bigger and put off the repair for the next day again. Although in most states it’s considered illegal to have any crack within the driver’s line of vision on the windshield, other states are more strict: it’s definitely prohibited to drive with a cracked windshield. That should make sense, right?

| Auto Repair: How Can They Screw Up An Oil Change? by Theodore Olson |
“It’s all about beating the clock.” This quote comes from a wise old service manager, advising me on how to maximize my income as a flat-rate technician. If you have ever wondered why your car doesn’t get fixed correctly, or all your concerns weren’t addressed, you can blame, in part, the flat-rate pay structure.

| The Mysterious World Of Auto Leasing by Jeff Neilan |
Auto leasing and the marketing thereof have been somewhat under the radar the past few years due to very low interest rates offered up by lending institutions.

San Jose, California is one of the biggest cities in the United States with a population of nearly a million people. The city is located close to San Francisco, so the area has enough potential customers to make almost any business sound attractive.

There are lots of limousine services in San Jose, more than I would have expected when I looked a... |

| Driving Instructor - Fear The Other Driver by Maisy Day |
Why fear the driving instructor when all he/she wants to do is help build up your confidence and teach you to drive. They are not ogres - they are human beings just like you and me - only with more knowledge on how to control and drive a vehicle of which they will be sharing with you - once you have booked your first driving lesson.
In a way it should be the roads you fear more so than that of your driving instructor. Not knowing what another driver is going to do has to b... |

| A Dealer May Be Best For Serious Problems by Kadence Buchanan |
| It is well known that service departments at auto dealers almost always charge more than small garages for most repairs. That's because in order to run a service department at a dealership, the dealer must pay a fee to the auto maker. Naturally, they pass that cost along to consumers. For basic maintenance and small repairs, going to a local garage will probably save you money. However, for more complex repairs, a dealer's service department may be your best option. Here's wh... |

Designed to win races, the Maserati MC12 is actually sold as a road car, albeit it a very impractical one. Still what do you expect with a 620 bhp exotic car? The car looks just like the sports racing car that it is. To be fair, it is a real two-seater while the cars that race at Le Mans are more like single-seaters.
Only 25 MC12s were built initially, and quite a few were used for racing. Actually, when they heard about Maserati building the MC12 for the GTA championship ... |

You might think that 6 liters was enough to make the Corvette two-seater fast enough, but not for the competition department lurking inside GM. They wanted to be able to compete head-to-head with the European supercars in the international endurance races for sports cars.
To do so, they took a leaf out of Ford's book. In the 1960s, when Ford found it could not compete with the smaller Ferraris at Le Mans with the 4.2 (ex-Indy) or 4.7 liter engines, they brought out their 7... |

| Diesels Challenge Gasoline Engines by John Hartley |
DIESELS are still gaining popularity in Europe, thanks to low gas mileage and good performance. The latest diesel cars can take on gasoline engined cars and come out on top!
All turbocharged diesels generate much more torque than gasoline engines, so you get better mid-range acceleration. In other words, from, say, 40-80 mph, a good diesel will see off a good gasoline engine car of the same apparent performance.
Jaguar has introduced a special version of a V-6 2.7 liter... |

If you would like a car that looks almost ordinary, but that is as fast as many supercars, buy the BMW M5. Yes, on the outside, this is an ordinary European sedan – but under the hood is a 500 bhp V-10 engine that you might imagine came from a sports-racing car! Will it do 180 mph? No, it could, but it won't because BMW uses a limiter to prevent you going faster than 155 mph on all its hot cars. Actually, BMW says it will do over 190 mph without the limiter in operation.

| Car Repair Prices: Who Charges More, Dealerships Or Local Shops? by Theodore Olson |
Many argue that dealership prices are 4 to 6 times higher than local shops. This is farfetched. That would mean that $100 at a local shop would be $400 to $600 at a dealership. Dealerships aren’t run by the sharpest businessmen, but this kind of pricing discrepancy would put dealers out of business, fast. The sources calculating such pricing gaps are never quoted, so I am not sure from where such data comes, but let’s look at what’s really going on.
