Home Auto Repair

By Ken Marlborough

Doing auto repairs at home is one of the best ways to keep a car in tiptop shape. Home auto repair is cost-efficient, too, because you can save on professional fees. All it takes to fix your car is a substantial amount of know-how plus a collection of quality tools.

For most people, doing things themselves has its own rewards. The most obvious benefit is that they get to save their hard-earned dollars. When it comes to auto repair, the same mindset applies. It is not surprising why there are many people who still prefer to fix their car in the comfort of their own homes instead of bringing their vehicle in for commercial auto repairs.

Home auto repairs allow car owners the chance to work closely with their own vehicles. They get to tinker around with their cars to identify if it needs tuning up or if a certain part needs replacing. Home auto repairs leave the responsibility in the hands of the car owner. Owners would not have to worry about mechanics mishandling their vehicles or charging them huge fees for simple auto repairs.

If you are planning on repairing your vehicle in the comfort of your own home, do thorough research first. The World Wide Web holds a lot of information regarding auto repair as well as do-it-yourself vehicle maintenance. You will also find a lot of car tips and trivia online.

It would also be wise to amass a collection of commonly used car tools and equipment. Wrenches, screws, jacks and bolts are among the tools you need to get together. You can buy ready car tool kits on the Internet. Do some comparison shopping. Look around for the best deals. Once you have narrowed down your choices to the tools that provide you with the most value for your money, it is easy to have them delivered right to your doorstep.

Water For Gas - Is it a Scam?

By Gregory Shyne

So I came across a site a little while back that claimed that you can "Double Your Gas Mileage" by using "Water for Gas". At first, I completely blew it off... I mean, come on! Water for gas? You can't be serious... if this could actually be done, then it would be all over the news... right? Well...

I decided to do a little research anyway... I figured it couldn't hurt... so I searched for a few product reviews... researched several websites... and I was actually shocked! There were several reviews from people who were actually converting the cars to run on water! The thing that shocked me the most what that they were doing it themselves!

Most had no real mechanical experience at all! (so they claimed) Well... I have a 2002 Ford Escape that was getting roughly about 15-19 miles to the gallon at the time (highway mileage). This was very frustrating... Especially since gas is about $4 a gallon now... and rising. I need to find someway to either get better gas mileage... make more money! (both would be nice...)

So after about a week or so of contemplating, I decided to actually give it a shot... I figured that the rewards of this actually working far outweighed the expenses of it being a scam... So I read and reread the website... and read it again!

Just to make sure that I fully understood every single detail and "promise" that this site claimed their system would do for me. Finally, I ordered the e-book... but I didn't read it right away... I actually went back and read the sales page again! (a little "obsessive compulsive" huh?)

Then I decided to dig in... the book as very well put together. The instructions were very simple and easy to follow. (a little too easy actually) but anyway, I read the entire e-book front to back... and then guess that I did? I read it again! (I know... I know...)

(Moving forward...) Three days later... after reading the book enough times that I probably could have rewritten it myself verbatim, I decided to actually give it a try. It took me a few hours to complete everything...

because of course, if I'm going to read the manual almost million times, I'm certainly going to take my time actually using it! I mean, hey, I have to make sure that it's done "right"! Right? So bare with me here...

After about a week, I realized that I only had to fill my gas tank once! Are you serious? Only one time for an entire week? I drive out of town everyday to go to work... One tank of gas is unheard of for me! I figured that this had to be a fluke or something...

So the next week came... and the exact same thing happened! I could not believe it! The ridiculously simple instructions in this e-book actually worked... but I was actually mad... very mad... if I could have been using water for gas all this time, why didn't anyone every tell me!

Do you have any idea how much money I've spent just in the last year on gas alone? More importantly, do you know how many Jack in the Box tacos buying gas has cost me? I feel so ripped off...

Best Wishes,

Greg

Auto Clubs - Never Worry About A Dead Battery Again

By Amy Nutt

An auto club is a great organization to be involved in for a number of reasons. First of all, members pay dues to the club and the club offers a variety of benefits to its members in return. This can be anything from mapping out the best routes for a road trip to roadside assistance. There are even auto clubs that are dedicated to specific types of vehicles. Some consist of owners of antique cars, sports cars, pickup trucks, or cars by a particular manufacturer. Other auto clubs will service any automobile owner who wishes to pay dues as a member.

There are many things that auto clubs offer their members. Some may find that when their children become of age to learn to drive, the auto club will give them the opportunity to take driving lessons. For mom and dad, there are such services as breakdown service and even legal advice. It is definitely a handy thing to have because you never know when you will need it.

One of the most common issues, aside from locking the keys in the car, is the issue of the dead battery. This occurs because individuals may forget to turn off interior lights or headlights and the battery will run down. Other times it is because it is simply time for the battery to go or there is another underlying issue that has caused the battery to die.

Battery assist

When the battery in your car dies, it can be a rather surreal experience because you may be in a place that you are not familiar with and you may be out of reach of someone who can come and pick you up. It is rather dangerous to ask strangers if they have jumper cables. Sometimes you can walk into a business and ask them if any of their employees can give you a hand, but there are many times the employees may not have jumper cables or you may not even be in the vicinity of a business. This is where the wireless phone comes in.

Since most everyone carries a wireless phone nowadays, it is easy to call your auto club and get some help. In all reality, if the battery dies you have nothing to worry about, so there is no need to panic. There's also no need to ask strangers for assistance when a phone call can solve your issue.

When the roadside assistance service arrives, they can give your battery and get you going again. Many times this is all it will take, but it is wise to go straight to the first auto parts store you see or a department store that sells car batteries so that you can have your battery tested and replaced if it must be. Sometimes a dead battery is just a fluke and it will charge right back up. However, it is always good to get it checked and the battery assistance that is provided by your auto club can get you on your way to running like normal in no time.

Peace of mind

Besides, the auto club has the best interest of its members in mind. If it didn't it couldn't really be classified as an auto club aside from the fact it is made up of a bunch of people who own automobiles. Auto clubs are much more than that, so if you are stalled, they will make sure they get you up and running so that you have nothing to worry about. That makes an auto club something that every automobile owner should be a part of.

Enjoy a relaxing time when driving by enrolling to auto club and benefit from more that 180 advantages such as emergency road and roadside assistance.
