Owner Of Frank Myers Auto Wins Emmy Awards

Esperanza Poster

The owner of a Winston-Salem, NC used car dealership was recently honored to receive an Emmy® Award. Tracy Myers, owner of Frank Myers Auto Maxx, won the award for serving as Executive Producer of the inspirational short film documentary, “Esperanza.” Myers  owns several other businesses located in the Triad area including: WrestleCade Entertainment & America’s Most Liked Dealer Services.

“Esperanza” is the inspirational story of how the Great American Pastime of Baseball led a young ball player to his life’s mission. While playing winter ball in the Dominican Republic in 1985, Dave Valle, a Seattle Mariner’s catcher, was swarmed by young children as most young fans would do. Dave soon realized, however, that an autograph was the last thing they wanted; they wanted food. They were starving, and they weren’t the only ones. The ballpark was surrounded by poverty stricken villages. After that eye opening experience Dave and his wife Vicky made a pact to return and make a difference. It was in that moment, Esperanza was born.

The film showcases Esperanza International – an organization that dedicates itself to free children and their families from poverty through initiatives that generate income, education and health, restoring self-worth and dignity to those who have lost hope. It reveals an in-depth look at Esperanza International’s incredible story and what can happen when people believe in an idea and act to make it come true.

Infiniti All Set To Uncover The F1 Q50 Eau Rogue At Detroit Auto Show

Formula One inspired Q50 concept carInfiniti has confirmed its plan to launch a Formula One inspired Q50 concept car this January at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Named ‘Q50 Eau Rouge’, the car has its name from one of the most exciting uphill corners of the Formula One track at Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium. The Eau Rogue corner at the Formula One track race circuit is believed to be one of the most complex routes to navigate for most drivers since it requires exceptional focus and strength. Infiniti, however, is not willing to disclose any details as yet.

A prestigious brand from the Japan-based automaker Nissan, the Infinity Q50 Eau Rogue flawlessly mixes road car technology with distinguished motorsport vision, giving customers a perfect blend of extreme performance and super class design.

The Infiniti Q50 Eau Rogue luxury car includes aerodynamic styling treatments having design ingredients influenced by Infiniti’s joint venture with the world championship winning team, Red Bull Racing. Since Infiniti has spent millions of dollars on its partnership with the Red Bull, the need for an exclusively Red Bull-inspired Infiniti was always felt.

The lone teaser image of the car released by the company suggests a deluxe design with a ventilated top, a mesh grille, front spoiler and side mirrors crafted out of carbon fiber. The public is hopeful that these improvements will not just be superficial but more than skin-deep.

The success of Infiniti’s designs emanate tremendously from its core belief in increased comfort and improved car performance. Infiniti’s Executive Design Director, Alfonso Albaisa remarked that the inclusion of an increased number of exclusive technologies formed an important foundation for Infiniti’s extreme performance vision. This belief is already signified by the broad customer base the corporation has in over 50 countries.

The Infiniti Q50 Eau Rogue is expected to be unveiled publicly for the first time on January 13th at a press conference in Detroit.

2014 Volkswagen Beetle R-Line – Review

The 2014 Volkswagen Beetle is immediately recognizable as a descendant of the hippie-inspired 1960s Bug. The shiny standard wheels are even modeled after the Bug’s wheels from decades ago. Under the surface, though, the Beetle shares most of its parts with workaday Volkswagens such as the Golf and Jetta. Since it is sold as both a coupe and a convertible, the Beetle decides to change up its Powertrain lineup in 2014.

2014 Volkswagen Beetle R-Line

Trim Levels

2014 Beetle is available in three trim levels differentiated by engine: base (1.8-liter turbo), TDI (diesel) and R-Line (2-liter turbo).

Exterior and Interior

The exterior of the 2014 Beetle is really fascinating and head turning. Standard features on all Beetle models are power operated fabric top, heated mirrors, heated windshield washer nozzles and three wheel choices, 17 inch alloy, 18 inch and 19 inch wheels.

The 2014 Beetle’s interior uses some nice materials, though the Golf is still the winner here. At least the dashboard can be dressed up with body-color inserts, which is necessary, to compete against MINI and Fiat. VW is proud of the R-Line’s standard Kaeferfach glove box, which is a heritage feature with an upward-opening door. The R-Line also has three secondary gauges atop the dashboard.

The 2-person backseat is certainly useful, but headroom in the hatchback is naturally limited by the sloping rear roof line. Cargo space in the hatchback is good 15.4 Cu ft in the trunk, but maximum capacity is only 29.9 Cu ft.

The Beetle was redesigned two years ago for both male and female buyers. The New Beetle met almost universal acclaim for its design when introduced but was not a big success. To attract more male buyers, its look is now more masculine, especially with the lower, flatter roofline and much upright windshield. It’s modern, but not in a trendy way. This shape should hold up over the years.

Safety Features

2014 Volkswagen Beetle has 4-wheel, anti-lock disc brakes and four airbags (front and full-length side-curtain). The R-Line’s (and GSR’s) front brake discs are slightly larger. It has good frontal and side impact safety. VW’s Car-Net connected services include crash notification, stolen-vehicle location, boundary and speed alerts, all accessed via a nifty Smartphone app.

Power and Performance

Beetle started the 2014 model year with a 2.5-liter five-cylinder in the base model, but Volkswagen replaced this engine with a new 1.8-liter turbocharged four-cylinder. The 2.5-liter five-cylinder rated 170 horsepower and up to 22 mpg city and 31 mpg highway; VW rates the new 1.8-liter turbo at 170 horsepower as well. The new turbo four-cylinder boosts gas mileage by 16 percent, however, for the best mileage, there’s the Beetle TDI Clean Diesel, scoring 28 and 41 mpg city/highway. The 2014 Beetle R-Line offers 210 horsepower from a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Most Beetles offered with a choice of five- or six-speed manual or six-speed automatic or dual-clutch automatic transmissions.
Another 2014 Beetle GSR has limited sales to 3,500 GSRs in total, each having a unique interior and exterior color theme and special equipment. It uses the same Powertrain as the Beetle R-Line.

Pricing and Availability

  • MSRP of $45,100 – $72,300 and is available for sale.

Competitors

  • Ford Mustang V6 convertible, Mini Cooper convertible, Fiat 500, Chevrolet Camaro

Pros

  • Modern take on classic Beetle linesVintage touches available
  • R-Line’s turbo thrust

Cons

  • Small back seat
  • Weak base five-cylinder
  • Gas mileage less than impressive on non-diesels

The Verdict

The Beetle is a fantasy. It gives most of the Golf’s fundamental goodness and it packages those qualities in a uniquely eye-catching wrapper, particularly if Convertible models are chosen. Furthermore, the beetle is a nice and impressive choice for female.

Safelite’s Internal Auto Glass Repair and Replacement Technician Contest Scheduled for Feb 8

After nearly half a year of qualifying contests and division competitions, the auto glass company Safelite’s internal competition for identifying the best auto glass repair and replacement technicians in the company is coming to its national heat, with the country’s best technicians coming to New Orleans on the 8th of February to duke it out amongst each other.  The technicians shall be meeting in the River City Ballroom of Mardi Gras World, and the event shall be running from 8:00hrs to 17:00hrs of that day.

This competition has been going on for a while now, with the first event having taken place last year, on the 10th of September for the auto glass repair company’s Southern California division.  Two more competitions took place in that same month, one for the South Atlantic and one for the technicians of Ohio Valley, followed by four competitions in October for the Pacific Southwest, Northwest, Mid-South, and South, in order of occurrence.  November had only two division contests, with the Midwest and the Rockies heats being decided, and the one contest for December was the North Atlantic division heat.

Also called the Best of Belron Competition, this company event is going to see contestants being tested on various skills and competencies, being asked to perform a range of procedures that shall include windshield repair and windshield replacement in order to demonstrate their skill at their chosen profession.  The requirements are quite rigorous and evaluation is famously strict, with speed not even taking the front seat when it comes to the most important aspects of the procedure or repair required: quality, strict technical prowess, and even interaction with the consumer are all looked into first and foremost in the contest, in order to ascertain a truly outstanding, superior breed of auto glass repair technician.

The national heat that is going to be taking place this February is of particular import because it decides who gets to represent the country in the coming global heat of the competition.  There are going to be 32 countries participating in the event, so winning that round—the final one—would be a most prestigious honour indeed for any auto glass technician.  The need to ensure that the country is well-represented also factors in the tension surrounding the coming event, so both participants and judges are expected to be fairly amped up for the contest.

The auto glass repair technician who wins the national heat gets more than the chance to represent the country in Barcelona, Spain on the 22nd-24th of May for the global part of the contest: he is also going to be taking home a total of $10,000 in pocket money as an additional reward.

What You Should Know About Your Windshield

Your vehicle’s windshield is designed to provide you with a clear view of the road and surrounding elements. A windshield is designed to be very strong, made like a sandwich of two layers of glass with a vinyl layer in between. Sometimes the windshield will get damaged due to small pebbles cracking the glass or major auto collisions that destroy it. When your vehicle’s windshield is damaged, here is what you should know about windshield repair versus windshield replacement.

Windshield Repair:

If you have a small scratch, ding, or chip, your windshield can simply be repaired. The auto body technicians at Robert’s Auto Repair will use vacuums and resin to remove air from the damaged area and fill it with resin to seal the crack. The resin is clear and becomes invisible, allowing the windshield to be restored and roadworthy.

Windshield Replacement:

If you have a large crack or major breaks in your windshield, your vehicle will require a windshield replacement. A windshield replacement involves the removal of the current windshield and the fitting of a new windshield. After the Robert’s Auto Repair technician removes the damaged windshield, your vehicle’s frame will be cleaned and repaired. After that, we will install the new windshield by applying a bead of urethane on the frame to bond the new windshield to the vehicle.

At Robert’s Auto Repair, we handle the windshield repair and replacement in-house on our facility. Handling this task on location allows us to repair your windshield faster, which in turn, allows you to get back out on the road in a shorter timeframe.

If your vehicle’s windshield requires repair or replacement, contact us online to schedule an appointment. Got questions? Call our main number at (831) 373-1535. Robert’s Auto Repair is conveniently located at 234 Ramona Avenue, Monterey, CA 93940. We look forward to serving you soon!

Tracking True In North Carolina: Wheel Alignment In Burgaw

Wheel alignment is often overlooked by busy Burgaw and Leland motorists until serious tire damage has been done. One wheel can be knocked out of alignment by hitting a curb or pothole on a Wilmington highway or surface street.

When a vehicle’s out of alignment, one or more of the wheels does not track true and pulls against the others. This causes several serious problems. First off, the tires will wear out faster and will need to be replaced prematurely. It could also lead to expensive sedans suspension problems.

Tracking True In North Carolina: Wheel Alignment In Burgaw

But the big issue for Burgaw, Leland, and Wilmington motorists is safety. When your sedans wheels are out of alignment, the vehicle will pull to one side, which could lead to an accident. When you’re out of alignment, you should have it taken care of right away at Atlantic Car Care in Wilmington.

When undergoing an alignment service at Atlantic Car Care, your sedans is put on an alignment rack where the tires, steering and suspension parts are checked for damage. Then the alignment is charted and checked against the factory settings.

Precision adjustments are made to bring the wheels back into alignment. This gets all four wheels going in exactly the same direction.

Leland motorists should be aware of the signs of alignment problems. These include the car pulling to one side. Also, the steering wheel may not be centered when you’re going straight. If you see the edges of one or more tires rapidly wearing down, you should have your Wilmington service center look it over. If you’ve been in an auto accident in North Carolina that involved a wheel, you should get your alignment checked.

Obviously, a big jolt can seriously knock things out of alignment, but Burgaw drivers also need to understand that a series of smaller ones can add up.

That’s why car makers recommend periodic alignment checks. If your sedans owner’s manual doesn’t specify, once a year might be appropriate. Or check with Mike Moore or your service advisor at Atlantic Car Care in Wilmington.

One thing’s for sure: the cost of the alignment at Atlantic Car Care is cheaper for Burgaw motorists than having to buy a couple of new tires because of neglect.

How to Know When to Change Your Oil At Atlantic Car Care

Today in the Atlantic Car Care auto care blog, we’re going to talk about oil change intervals. It seems that as engine technology advances, recommended oil change intervals have gotten longer for Atlantic Car Care customers. High quality oil in a well-engineered sedans engine has lead to extended intervals. But it’s also lead to some confusion among Wilmington car owners.

The old mantra “change your oil every three months or three thousand miles, whichever comes first” once applied to every vehicle on Wilmington expressways. Time and miles take their toll on motor oil. But now, you could have a different oil change recommendation for every car or truck you own.

Wilmington car owners are like everybody else, they have a tendency to follow the oil change schedule of the vehicle with the longest interval. Of course, that can lead to problems. How to Know When to Change Your Oil At Atlantic Car CareFor example, recently four of the world’s largest auto makers shortened the published intervals for several of their engine models. They originally published intervals that extended out to a much as 8,000 miles.

In real world Wilmington driving, the oil started to sludge up before the recommended change interval. Oil sludge is a thick jelly-like substance. Quite literally petroleum jelly – like Vaseline. This goop was clogging sedans small engine passages so the oil wouldn’t flow to some parts of the engine. This resulted in engine damage. We see it too often at Atlantic Car Care in Wilmington.

The auto makers began to offer an extended warranty to cover sludge damage. But there was a catch: the vehicle owner had to follow a new, lower service interval, and provide proof of oil changes in order to make a warranty claim.

So here’s the bottom line: with longer oil change intervals, it’s essential to follow them closely. Back in the day of 3 months or 3,000 miles, if you went an extra month or an extra thousand miles, your oil was still fresh enough that it didn’t have time to build up much sludge.

But if your recommended interval is 6,500 miles and you go over another thousand, you’re getting into heavy sludge territory. You absolutely need to follow mileage intervals very closely. And don’t forget your severe service schedule. If you do a lot of stop and go driving in North Carolina, short trips, drive in dusty or polluted Wilmington conditions, hot or cold weather, or haul heavy loads, you’re driving in severe service conditions. Your Atlantic Car Care advisor can help you determine which schedule to follow.

So check your sedans owner’s manual or talk with your Atlantic Car Care service advisor about where and how you drive in Wilmington. Should you change your oil closer to the regular schedule, or the severe service schedule? You need to make the call.

Let me give you an example of this. Some newer sedanss have an oil change indicator. It has a sophisticated computer algorithm that tracks number of cold starts, engine temperature, RPMs, mileage, and many more variables to come up with a recommendation for when to change the oil.

Depending on driving conditions, the indicator in one test vehicle came on at anywhere from 2,500 miles to almost 7,000 miles. It’s typically just over 4,000 miles. Clearer sometimes, we’re driving easy miles that are easy on the sedans – like a long road trip. Sometimes, we’re driving hard North Carolina miles – like towing a heavy trailer or a lot of around town driving. But, usually, it’s a combination of both.

Once again, it’s up to you to make the call as to when to change your oil at Atlantic Car Care to protect your sedans engine. Another place where North Carolina car owners can go wrong is with the type of oil they use. More and more new cars are coming to Wilmington owners filled with synthetic oil. Without going into a lot of detail right now, let’s just say that synthetic oil lasts longer and is very resistant to oil sludge.

But it also costs quite a bit more, so some Wilmington people are tempted to use conventional oil for their oil changes. Now, it’s always best to use the oil recommended by your manufacturer. Check your owner’s manual see if a conventional oil alternative is allowed.

But getting back to the problem, if your sedans came from the factory with synthetic oil, the recommended oil change interval is for synthetic oil. If you use conventional oil, you can’t use the synthetic interval. You need to shorten it.

The Boyd Group has finally completed its attainment of Master Collision Repair, a bodyworks and auto glass repair company in Florida.  The Boyd Group originally announced that it was in the process of adding Master Collision Repair to its assets in December 21 of last year, and the Group announced just this week that it had finished the entire acquisition process, immediately adding the new asset to its cash flow sources.  The announcement marks a significant expansion for Boyd’s auto repair services, especially given that it adds no fewer than 8 fresh facilities to its list of service centers in the United States.

The acquisition of the Florida-based auto glass repair and body repair works business was apparently completed for a price of anywhere between $11.5M and $12M.  The acting president as well as CEO of the Boyd Group, Brock Bulbuck, spoke of the new asset as an important one in that it was raising Boyd’s flag in the Florida area, where the company had yet to gain significant presence.  With the acquisition of MRC, that is now remedied.

The Boyd Group has been steady in its growth for the past few years, and has chosen, unlike another industry giant, Safelite AutoGlass, to focus specifically on collision repair instead of exclusively on auto glass repair.  The difference between the two specialisations is fairly clear to those in the trade: for reference, collision repair covers services for repairing or replacing materials or parts of the car that may have sustained damage one way or another, and this includes all parts of the car, from the windows to the tires; auto glass repair, on the other hand, focuses exclusively on damage that has been dealt to the glass parts of a vehicle, which typically means the windows and windshield but may also include, on occasion the headlamps, mirrors (side and rear), and the like.

Boyd started out in 1990 and has since grown to be one of the largest fleet operators in the US, and it runs several brands in both North America and Canada for collision repair.  Among these brands under the Group are Boyd Autobody and Glass, Gerber Collision & Glass, and Cars Collision Center.  Besides that, it now has the Master Collision Repair brand under its leadership.  As for Master Collision Repair, it was previously a family-owned company specializing in both auto glass repair and auto body repair.  The local business has had a history spanning at least four decades in the area, giving it a firm and established reputation with the residents.  It is also a BBB-accredited business, and one that started from a single family-run store in the Tampa Bay locale.

S. California Auto Glass Repair Shop Offers Discount for Services During Holiday Season

A South California auto glass repair shop, PG Auto Glass, has just announced that it is going to be making available a discount to customers this holiday season in order to ease the financial burden that most people go through during this time.  As pockets are emptied by Christmas gift expenses, holiday party costs and the like, people do end up being a little lighter in the pocketbook than they were before Christmastime, which PG Auto Glass representatives say may have negative results on the necessary maintenance work people need to do to keep their vehicles in tip-top shape.  Hence, the company is offering a 10% discount on its services this season, in the true spirit of giving.

The auto glass repair shop’s discount can be seen on its website, where a coupon has been put up by the company for customers interested in taking advantage of the promo.  This is actually quite a good idea, not just for the customers but also for the company.  Recent forays by many windshield repair and replacement stores in coupon as well as groupon promotions indicate that consumers are more enthusiastic than ever about taking on coupon discount schemes.  Experts say this is most likely because of the recession affecting people’s perceptions as well as their pockets, where consumers are becoming more and more sensitive to discount possibilities and are quicker to respond to discount offerings from companies because of the clear potential to save money that way.

As such, a lot of companies in the auto glass repair and replacement industry—as well as other industries, as a matter of fact—have been putting up coupons and groupons of late, trying to entice customers.  For the most part, it seems to be successful, according to the reports of most of the companies trying it out.  PG Auto Glass’s 10% discount scheme shall be likely to see good rewards for the company, especially as the new year comes ever closer.

A new year’s approach might seem unrelated at first to the question of whether or not an auto glass repair company’s bid to draw in customers with a discount on services can work, but it may actually be closely linked to it.  One thing that the approach of New Year’s Day always does to people is bring out a tendency to fix or spruce up things that are already run down or which need to be repaired to some extent, in an effort to make a fresh start for the new year.  As a result, people’s desire to actually get their old and broken car glass repaired is more likely to be high, and only a little more nudging—such as a coupon discount from a company—may be required to draw out the desired reaction.

How Bluetooth Technology Helps Auto Body Shops Lose Business

Bluetooth devices offer an additional level of safety to automobile drivers, and this is a wonderful thing! In fact, Robert’s Auto Repair is happy to say that we have seen fewer auto body repairs in our shop thanks to Bluetooth devices, and that is a win-win for everyone.

Bluetooth devices help improve safety by allowing drivers to talk on their cell phones and still keep both hands on the steering wheel. Bluetooth wireless technology not only keeps drivers and their passengers safer, but they also reduce fines from law enforcement agencies.

Bluetooth technology is becoming more common in new vehicles, and can be installed in older vehicles, too. Here are some of the ways you can use Bluetooth in your personal or work vehicle:

  • Visor speakerphone. These are often battery powered and automatically connect to your cellular phone when you enter the vehicle. No special installation is required.

  • Wireless Earpieces. These take just moments to set up. The devices also help drivers comply with hands-free laws.

  • GPS navigation devices. Drivers can communicate to the navigation device through a Bluetooth headset and make hands-free calls.

  • MP3 players that sync up to your sound system. This allows you to stream music and control your MP3 player from the stereo head unit.

  • Rear-view mirrors with caller ID and speaker phone.

  • Headsets for listening to music. Passengers can listen to music without plugging wires into the sound system or MP3 player.

If your vehicle is in need of auto body repair, contact Robert’s Auto Repair at 234 Ramona Avenue, Monterey, CA 93940. To schedule an appointment with our auto body service representatives, call us at (831) 373-1535, or request your preferred time online.

Infiniti All Set To Uncover The F1 Q50 Eau Rogue At Detroit Auto Show

Formula One inspired Q50 concept carInfiniti has confirmed its plan to launch a Formula One inspired Q50 concept car this January at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.

Named ‘Q50 Eau Rouge’, the car has its name from one of the most exciting uphill corners of the Formula One track at Spa-Francorchamps circuit in Belgium. The Eau Rogue corner at the Formula One track race circuit is believed to be one of the most complex routes to navigate for most drivers since it requires exceptional focus and strength. Infiniti, however, is not willing to disclose any details as yet.

A prestigious brand from the Japan-based automaker Nissan, the Infinity Q50 Eau Rogue flawlessly mixes road car technology with distinguished motorsport vision, giving customers a perfect blend of extreme performance and super class design.

The Infiniti Q50 Eau Rogue luxury car includes aerodynamic styling treatments having design ingredients influenced by Infiniti’s joint venture with the world championship winning team, Red Bull Racing. Since Infiniti has spent millions of dollars on its partnership with the Red Bull, the need for an exclusively Red Bull-inspired Infiniti was always felt.

The lone teaser image of the car released by the company suggests a deluxe design with a ventilated top, a mesh grille, front spoiler and side mirrors crafted out of carbon fiber. The public is hopeful that these improvements will not just be superficial but more than skin-deep.

The success of Infiniti’s designs emanate tremendously from its core belief in increased comfort and improved car performance. Infiniti’s Executive Design Director, Alfonso Albaisa remarked that the inclusion of an increased number of exclusive technologies formed an important foundation for Infiniti’s extreme performance vision. This belief is already signified by the broad customer base the corporation has in over 50 countries.

The Infiniti Q50 Eau Rogue is expected to be unveiled publicly for the first time on January 13th at a press conference in Detroit.

Oil Changes: Are Oil Deposits Harmful to Your Vehicle?

As we know, clogged arteries are a health risk for many people. Doctors will usually take immediate action to restore the flow of blood through the body. It may seem an odd comparison, but the same principle applies to the passage ways for the oil that flows through your vehicle's engine. Just as a poor diet and too little exercise cause deposits of cholesterol to block our arteries, contaminated oil can gum up the engine of our vehicles. These oil deposits can be prevented by keeping up with regular oil changes. Many auto shops offer oil change coupons to keep your vehicle healthy.

How To Maintain Your Vehicle’s Airbag System

Your vehicle’s airbag system is one of the more important safety components of your automobile. Airbags are deployed upon impact and can protect you and your passengers from fatal blows during an accident. Airbags have saved thousands of lives, but in order to do so, they must be checked and maintained on a regular basis.

The most important parts of the success of the airbag system are the crash sensors, and these sensors need to be checked by a certified mechanic. There are two types of airbag sensors in cars:  electrical and mechanical. According to this article:

“Electrical sensors vary in design. Some use an electromechanical “ball and tube” mechanism, which basically consists of a small tube containing a circuit switch and ball that’s held together by a small magnet. If a collision occurs, the ball is dislodged from the magnet and rolls forward in the tube, hitting a switch that completes the electrical circuit. Other electrical designs are similar in principle, using a metal roller or spring loaded weight instead of a ball, or in newer cars, an accelerometer to trip the sensor. Mechanical sensors work independent of the electrical system and respond similarly to the electrical sensors, with a design that actuates a firing pin triggering a small explosion after a crash. Since a mechanical sensor does not require a power source, it cannot be deactivated like an electrical sensor can when the battery is disconnected.”

At Robert’s Auto Repair, our certified technicians can check your vehicle to make certain everything related to your vehicle’s airbag system is in order. From the airbags, to the sensors, to the inflators that deploy the system when triggered, we will check to make sure your airbag system meets factory specifications.

In addition to airbag system maintenance, our mechanical repair technicians can provide complete minor and major maintenance for your vehicle. To schedule an appointment online, click here. To contact us during business hours, call our main number at (831) 645-4712. Robert’s Auto Repair is located at 234 Ramona Avenue in Monterey, close to the Highway 1 Del Monte Exit for Pacific Grove. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Backup Cameras Likely Mandated for 2014

The Department of Transportation has, in the works, a mandate to install backup cameras in all vehicles. Congress expects to have a final rule on the requirement by December 31st, 2012. The Department of Transportation has conducted a study which concluded that an estimated 228 people die and about 17,000 are injured annually in back over accidents and half of the deaths are of children. If this law does pass all passenger vehicles will have to have backup cameras installed by 2014. “Adoption of this proposal would significantly reduce fatalities and injuries caused by back over crashes involving children, persons with disabilities, the elderly and other pedestrians.” It is estimated to cost between $159-$203 to have the visual display screen installed and will be even cheaper for newer model vehicles. If this passes, economy cars will be hit the hardest.

Are you ready to have a backup camera installed on your vehicle?

How to Tell If Your Car Needs Realigning

Wheel AlignmentIt’s important to keep your tires properly aligned because doing so extends tire life, preserves braking stability, promotes better handling, and keeps your ride smooth. Knowing what the signs of a misaligned car will help you avoid damage to your tires and expensive repairs. Family Tire & Service encourages you to watch for these indicators that your car needs to be aligned.

Uneven Tire Wear

When you schedule a vehicle inspection, your experienced Grapevine auto repair specialist will take a close look at your tires to determine the level of alignment. When the tires are out of position, you will have more wear on the outside edges of your tires than along the center. Take a look at your tires occasionally to be sure they are wearing evenly.

Pro Tip: When you have your oil changed, it’s also a good idea to have the tires rotated to promote even wear and a smooth ride.

Steering Wheel Vibration

Improper alignment leads to uneven tire wear, and that makes your steering wheel vibrate. If you are driving and feel a vibration through the steering wheel, you should take your car to an auto repair shop. Even if the wheel alignment is correct, there may be another issue with the suspension that requires attention.

Drifting

When you are on a straight and level stretch of road, take your hands off the wheel for a moment. The car should continue traveling in a straight line. If it pulls left or right, your alignment may be incorrect. Problems with the suspension and alignment can also cause your steering wheel to be off-center when the vehicle is traveling in a straight line.

It’s wise to ask for an alignment inspection and tire rotation when you take your car in for an oil change. Catching problems early helps you avoid serious damage and costly repair bills.

Family Tire & Service can keep your car running smooth longer by providing you with these important maintenance services. Call us today at 817-488-5520 to make an appointment.
