So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Vehicle Repair Information You Can't Live Without

By Fred Gagnon


Being a car owner is convenient and even necessary. You are able to travel wherever you want at any time of the day or night. This also means that it may break down at inconvenient times and leave you stranded somewhere. These tips should help to prepare you for such a situation.

If you are worried about an auto body shop puffing up the amount of work that needs to be done, go and get free diagnostics from somewhere else. Since there is no guarantee you will get work done by them, they have no reason to claim there is more needed than necessary.

Always ask about the certification and the insurance of a mechanic before letting them fix your car. If something goes wrong, the mechanic's insurance will cover damages and usually provides you with a car you can drive until yours is fixed. A mechanic who is not certified does not have an insurance either.

Don't neglect your regular maintenance. These scheduled visits are not there just to get more money from you. They are designed to make sure maintenance is done on specific components before you end up stranded on the side of the road. While you might be able to skip one or two and be okay, the damage will shorten the life of your car.

Check your tire pressure regularly. Tires with a low pressure are a very dangerous liability. Check the pressure in your tires at least once a month or anytime you notice a tire seems to be losing air. Invest in new quality tires if you often have to adjust the pressure in your tires.

Always keep some tail light tape around. You could get pulled over and get a ticket for a broken tail light. You should remove the light from your vehicle, replace the light-bulb if you need to and wrap the whole light in tape. This is a temporary fix but it is better than driving with a broken light.

Get a referral if you want to see a reputable mechanic. See if co-workers, friends, neighbors, or family members have any recommendations. This gives you the opportunity to find out about costs and the overall quality you can expect. You can find out about the experience with a mechanic and if they can be trusted or not.

Tire Pressure

Check your tire pressure regularly. Tires with a low pressure are a very dangerous liability. Check the pressure in your tires at least once a month or anytime you notice a tire seems to be losing air. Invest in new quality tires if you often have to adjust the pressure in your tires.

Checking your tire pressure can help save you money and wear and tear on tires. Check the tires to ensure nothing has become lodged within them. Any problems should be fixed immediately. Driving with faulty tires is extremely dangerous.

If you locate a repair shop or a garage you are very pleased with, have their contact details. Feel free to bring your automobile there again rather than looking around to get the best prices. When possible, search for a garage that will examine your oil or tire pressure at absolutely no cost whenever you need.

There's no reason that anyone should have to deal with auto mechanics anymore. Something as simple as auto repair is made into nightmare due to mechanics, and it has to stop. Take the given tips and start repairing your own vehicle. You'll be much better at it than any mechanic you've ever visited.
