Son of Local Franchise Owner Buys First Car by Working at Tint World®

Cary, North Carolina (PRWEB) September 06, 2011

By tinting customer vehicles at his father’s Tint World® automotive business in Cary, North Carolina, Austin Silver, son of Randy Silver, has gained valuable job experience, and at age 16 has already earned enough from his first job to buy a ride of his very own. Austin started working part time at his father’s business two years ago after learning to apply tint in his father’s North Carolina window tint and auto acessories shop. Sharing his father’s passion for automobiles, Tint World® became Austin’s first job, which he worked throughout summers and part time during the school year. He is the youngest Tint World® employee, and after only two years has now earned enough to put an $ 11,000 down payment on his first car.

As far as first cars go, Austin is certainly riding in style with his 2006 Daytona Edition Dodge Charger which he immediately fell in love with. The vehicle was in near pristine condition, having only one previous owner, and Austin has already used his skills acquired from Tint World® to give the vehicle a custom tinted look. Window tinting his new Charger is only the first of Austin’s improvements, however, and he has plans to continue styling his ride with new Rockford Fosgate amplifiers and subwoofers to enhance his audio system.

“None of this would have been possible without the help of Tint World® and my dad,” Said Austin. “Working at Tint World® has been a fun and meaningful experience, and it has been great to learn window tinting and work with so many exciting vehicles. As a car guy, Tint World® is the coolest place in town to work and the work is even cooler now that I can use my skills on a vehicle of my own.”

Austin’s experiences exemplify the family-friendly nature of Tint World® Automotive Franchise, and prove it a great place for any auto enthusiast to work. Austin continues to enjoy working with his father Randy at Tint World®, where he expects to learn more about the business, and continue to use his new skills to customize customer cars and his own vehicle.

Auto Insurance Policy Rates: Age Matters!

There are some people who are still confused on how do auto insurance companies compute policy rates. Some might be even wondering why is the policy rate of his/her neighbor different from his monthly rate while they both have the same car and same company at the same time. That is pretty normal for people since not all have a good understanding about auto insurance policy rates.

To tell everyone frankly, there are various factors that will determine the monthly policy rates. One of these various factors would be the age. For some, people would say age doesn’t matter at all. Maybe for some other things, it doesn’t. But when it comes to auto insurance policy rates, it matters a lot. Listed below are some of the most common explanations to help everyone better understand how age and different factors affect the monthly auto insurance premium.

Young and new drivers

]]>

Recent studies have showed that people belonging to a young age group has a tendency to be more reckless drivers compared to people in their late thirty’s. That study has already been proven and the statistics have showed that teenagers, including college students get involved in accidents more often compared to other people who do not belong under their age group. Because of that, teenage drivers have a higher auto insurance monthly premium rate compared to others.

However, if the insurance company has noticed that the teenage driver doesn’t have any history or bad driving record, there is still a possibility that the premiums will lower.

Gender

This might sound a little biased but female drivers are more careful drivers compared to men. That is why if the vehicle owner’s gender is a female, then the monthly premium is lower compared to men. Again, with men, there is still a chance that they will be getting the same amount of monthly premium, as long as the driving record and history is clean from accidents and reckless driving.

Security measures

Auto insurance companies consider the safety and security of one’s vehicle. The more secured the vehicle is, the greater the chances that the monthly premium rates that one has to pay is cheaper. Air bags, locks and alarms are some of the things that an auto insurance company is looking for when trying to consider lowering the rates. The more secured the vehicles are, the lesser the chances that it will get stolen.

Tint World® Automotive Franchise Furthers Expansion with Three New Store Licenses in West Palm Beach

Tint World president, Charles Bonfiglio with new franchisee, Cary Lopez

Boca Raton, Florida (PRWEB) October 03, 2011

As of August 15th 2011, automotive franchise, Tint World®, has made plans for expansion into West Palm Beach, FL after a new multi-store franchise was awarded to included three new franchise store licenses. The licenses were purchased by Florida native, Cary Lopez, who had tracked Tint World®’s expansion in Florida and decided to learn more about the opportunities it offered.

After contacting Tint World® representatives and touring the business during a Tint World® Discovery Day, Lopez had a meeting with franchise president, Charles Bonfiglio, during which he reviewed the details of the franchise program and signed the necessary paperwork for license ownership of three new Tint World® automotive franchise store locations in the West Palm Beach, FL area.

Lopez was previously a general contractor in the construction business, but when business made a downturn due to a suffering economy, he started exploring franchise opportunities. Lopez was attracted to the Tint World® window tint and automotive accessory franchise because of an interest in vehicle enhancement, and for the rapid growth he had seen both in Florida, and nation-wide.

“Cary is sure to be a strong member of the Tint World® team,” explained Tint World® president, Charles Bonfiglio, adding, “His background in the construction industry has given him more than enough management experience to achieve great success with the Tint World® system, and his knowledge of the Florida market will also make him a valuable new member to the Tint World® team. You really have to know how to get the job done, and Cary has already proven success in this in a very difficult industry.”

By continuing to attract passionate and business-savvy franchise owners, like Lopez, the business expects to see increased sales, expansion and further establishment of Tint World® as the premier window tinting and automotive accessories franchise in the US. Tint World will host the grand opening of Lopez’s first store next month. With his contractor experience, Lopez is taking an active role in the remodeling of his first Tint World store, which will be 6,000 square feet and will include 6 service bays along with full interactive product displays.

Customers are welcome and encouraged to attend the grand opening event which will take place in mid to late November.

How to sell a car fast online

Selling a car privately is not for everyone. There are many pitfalls and problems that even the experienced can get caught out. Using an online used car buyer is one way to cut down the problems, however not all online buyers operate the same way so be very careful.

Here are some common differences;

1) If you like sellmycarberkshire.co.uk will come to your address – This puts you in a powerful negotiating position. Many online used car buyers require you to bring the car to them!

This puts you in a poor position to negotiate and the slightest mis-description of your car will be harshly judged with many reducing their offers by up to £300 per scratch/mark.

2)sellmycarberkshire.co.uk will also come to your address at a time convenient for you – Most online car buyers require you to bring your car to them during their opening hours!

sellmycarberkshire.co.uk offers a service for people who need to sell their car fast, 24 hrs a day , 365 days a year. It’s a service, so it’s when it’s convenient for you, not us!

]]>

3)sellmycarberkshire.co.uk will pay by cash or bankers draft, whichever you prefer – Many online buyers insist on paying with bankers drafts.

Again we are offering a service, so it’s what you want, not what we would like.

4)sellmycarberkshire.co.uk will stand by their quotes if the car is accurately described – Some online buyers will take advantage of certain circumstances.

For instance, if you are selling due to immigration and have arranged for the car to be bought at the airport, you are going to need someone you can trust to pay the agreed price.

5)sellmycarberkshire.co.uk will price any mis-descriptions fairly – Not all online buyers are so forthcoming.

Any changes to our agreed price will be explained, with explicit costings. Remember you do not have to sell to sellmycarberkshire.co.uk, you will likely be at your home address at a time that suits you. If we can’t agree a price no hard feelings!

6) sellmycarberkshire.co.uk offers a polite and courtesy service – Not all online buyers are friendly, some are downright rude; by all means phone around and see for yourself!

After more than 20 years in the used car industry, sellmycarberkshire.co.uk knows what service is about,. When you call you will always find a friendly tone and helpful service, EVEN if we do not buy your car.

7) sellmycarberkshire.co.uk buys cars requiring mechanical attention, MOT failures, bodywork issues, left hand drives, classic cars and other unique vehicles – Not all online buyers are interested in these areas and will not give a fair valuation.

At sellmycarberkshire.co.uk we believe that every car has a value.

Question by Falkland G: Take two – strange political survey question.?
Since there seem to be many assumptions made in this section about people of different political persuations, everything from religious persuasion to favorite fiction genres and even stranger things here is a political survey to satisfy the curiosity of anyone interested in such things. Shortly before I close out the survey, I will in an “Additional details” give my own answers to these questions. Yes, I know many of the questions have NOTHING to do with politics (though some do) but the point is to satisfy the curiosity of those who have been answering and asking recent questions in the politics section.

1. How would you describe yourself politically. If you are liberal please specify modern, classical or other. If you are conservative please specify “neo” “paleo” or other. If you are anarchist please specify “anarcho” “green” “without adjectives” or other.

2. Do you own a pick-up truck? Do you own a volvo? Do you own a hybrid car?

3. What is your favorite band [and / or soloist] of the 1990’s?

4. Do you live in the Northern Hemisphere or Southern Hemisphere or right on the equator?

5. How would you describe your religious or spiritual beliefs and /or secular philosophy?

6. How should political thinkers and leaders from the 1700’s and before be judged?

7. Do you “hate America” and if so why?

8. How often do you shop at Wal-Mart?

9. What is your favorite genre of fiction?

10. Do you believe 9/11 was an Inside Job?
I am about to close this out. Here are my answers:

1. Libertarian / An-Cap

2. I own a little Toyota Yaris

3. Hmm, tough one. I am a huge fan of Beck but I also like Rasputina

4. Northern

5. Ignostic [no, I did not misspell agnostic]

6. They can only be judged by comparing their ideas to the standard ideas that existed at the time they lived. How far did they move the ball forward?

7. No, only most politicians.

8. Two or three times a month

9. Sci-Fi

10. No. But the government DID know something like this was being planned and it is disgraceful that they did nothing to stop it. But I have come to expect nothing better from the government.

THE BEST WAY TO BUY A USED CAR

Well, the first thing you will need to decide is when you need to buy a car. Most second hand car purchases are decided by circumstances, IE something has happened to bring on the change of vehicle, eg car accident, growing family, extra members of the family, current car failed its MOT or broken down etc etc…

In this article we will only be talking about used cars from garages because deals on new cars change so quickly depending on the marketing programmes available at the time.

You will need to be clear on how you intend to fund the purchase, there are several options to choose from; you can pay out of your savings, credit card (although this will normally incur at least 1.5% additional charge as this is what the dealer has to pay), bank/building society loan, finance from the garage you are buying from (which there are some really great deals available depending on your circumstances) , and internet loans.  The options will all need to be explored to work out what is going to be right for you when you need to buy .

What sort of car you will need to suit your needs. The choice of cars available in today’s marketplace is vast, every manufacturer has a list of shapes and sizes to suit most needs. From the new super mini with £35 a year for its annual road tax to the people carriers that seem so cavernous and can fit many people inside. Work out your requirements and the type of driving and uses you intend to get from the car. Many of the people carrier style that offer 7 seats will also have the ability for the rear 2 seats to fold away completely, a great example and pioneer of this is the Vauxhall Zafira. At our garage, we sell many of these because of their flexibility.

Fuel. it really comes down to petrol or diesel. Traditionally diesel was seem as a smelly dirty alternative to petrol, these days this is not really the case. many of the diesel cars are now in some of the lowest CO2 emission categories. The general rule of thumb is that if you are doing under 15,000 miles per a year then a petrol car is probably the right choice for you, over that then go for a diesel.

Always make sure that you ask he garage where you are viewing cars to see the HPI Check certificate to make sure that there are no hidden things lurking in the past, these can include being written off, stolen, on finance, or anything else you would want to know before parting with your hard earned money. Ask to see the service history and the registration document to check these are all in order.

If you are intending to part exchange your current car, do yourself a favour and get more money for it by getting all the documents and history together and then give the car a really good clean. If the dealer can see a well maintained, bright and shiny car in front of them they are bound to give you more money for it than a dull car with a few bills as the history.

The negotiation on the price is really down to how confident you are, and whether you really want to buy the car. many people can get a really good deal on a car, but please make sure that it is the right car for you. there is no point in wasting everybody’s time if you get a great deal on a car you don’t even want!! we often find that the best way to make a deal is to get “price to change” that way the garage values your part exchange, then adjusts the price you have to pay out. If it is too high then you can ask about what the best price is then, don’t let the dealer confuse the issue by quoting trade terms that don’t mean anything to the the customer such as “over allowance”, “SIV”,”trade car”, “margin” etc.

We hope that this arcticle helps you in your quest for a new car. I have included a link to our website which there are over 100 quality used cars available for you to view.

Question by Michael K: Does Yahoo know about Synthetic trees? Global Warming?
Apparently, some scientist guy has come with a way to fight global warming. For Real. A scientist has invented an artificial tree designed to do the job of plants.

But the synthetic tree proposed by Dr Klaus Lackner proposes does not much resemble the leafy variety.

“It looks like a goal post with Venetian blinds,” said the Columbia University physicist, referring to his sketch at the annual AAAS meeting in Denver, Colorado.

But the synthetic tree would do the job of a real tree, he said. It would draw carbon dioxide out of the air, as plants do during photosynthesis, but retain the carbon and not release oxygen.

If done to scale, according to Dr Lackner, synthetic trees could help clean up an atmosphere grown heavy with carbon dioxide, the most abundant gas produced by humans and implicated in climate warming.

He predicts that one synthetic tree could remove 90,000 tonnes of CO2 in a year – the emissions equivalent of 15,000 cars.

“You can be a thousand times better than a living tree,” he said.

Carbon sinks

For now, the synthetic tree is still a paper idea. But Dr Lackner is serious about developing a working model. His efforts suggest the wide net of ideas cast by scientists as they face the challenge of mitigating climate change.

Dr Lackner believes that carbon sequestration technology must be part of the long-term solution. Global reliance on fossil fuels will not decrease any time soon, he said, and developing countries cannot be expected to wait until alternatives are available.

The technology calls for two things – seizing carbon and then storing it. Direct capture of CO2, from power plants for example, is the simplest, according to Dr Lackner. But this doesn’t work for all polluters. A car can’t capture and store its carbon dioxide on-board; the storage tank would be too large.

“It’s simply a question of weight,” he said, “for every 14 grams of gasoline you use, you are going to have 44 grams of CO2.”

The alternative is to capture emissions from the wind. In this case, a synthetic tree would act like a filter. An absorbent coating, such as limewater, on its slats or “leaves” would seize carbon dioxide and retain the carbon.

Dr Lackner predicts that the biggest expense would be in recycling the absorber material.

“We have to keep the absorbent surfaces refreshed because they will very rapidly fill up with carbon dioxide,” he said. If an alkaline solution such as limewater were used, the resulting coat of limestone would need to be removed.

Dr Lackner is considering other less-alkaline solutions to prevent carbonate precipitation.

“There are a number of engineering issues which need to be worked out,” he said.

Home use

A synthetic tree could be planted anywhere. A small one could sit like a TV on the lawn to balance out the CO2 emitted by one person or family.

But more practically, said Dr Lackner, a device the size of a barn would sit in the open air, near repositories for easy transportation and storage of carbon.

He estimated that 250,000 synthetic trees worldwide would be needed to soak up the 22 billion tons of CO2 produced annually.

But not everyone is rooted to the idea. Massachusetts Institute of Technology engineer Howard Herzog thinks Dr Lackner’s design won’t hold together on the scale he proposes.

He said you would expend more energy in capturing the CO2 – in keeping the slats coated in absorbent and disposing of it – than you’d save.

“Once the solvent captures the CO2, it holds it on tight,” said Dr Herzog, “and it’s going to take a lot of energy to break those bonds.”

He said that much more research is needed on the technology.

“The idea of air capture is seductive and would really be great to have,” said Dr Herzog, “but it’s important to separate out the concept from the technical details.”

‘Early days’

Meanwhile, Dr Lackner is pursuing his idea for carbon storage. While he was at the US Department of Energy’s Los Alamos National Laboratory, his team worked on a storage method based on a natural chemical process known as rock weathering.

When CO2 binds with magnesium, it creates carbonate rocks which, according to Dr Lackner, retain carbon permanently and safely.

Currently, he said, the process is still too expensive to develop on a large scale.

But Dr Lackner is optimistic that the costs for carbon capture and storage will come down.

“This is still the early days of climate solutions,” he said.

How an Auto Repair Shop Can Save You Big Money!

Perhaps you and your car are at the point where you feel purchasing a new car is in order due to the need for major repair. Here at Excel Auto and Tire Service, we understand the temptation to use this repair money for a deposit on a new car. However, the fact is that even the costliest auto repair shop service, when performed properly by an ASE certified mechanic such as ours, can be far more beneficial than the purchase of a new vehicle. A car is something that is made to last, provided the proper auto repair shop has been helping you to maintain and inspect your vehicle on a regular basis.

It is also likely that you have developed a relationship of sorts with your vehicle over the years. Like any relationship, this takes time to create and there are greater risks involved with the purchase of a newer vehicle than even the savviest of consumers may be able to foresee.

For instance, auto repair service nearing the ,000 mark can often be advantageous on an older vehicle versus the purchase of a newer one. This becomes evident once you begin to add up the expense of buying a new car: For instance, you are sure to be faced with increases in insurance if you purchase a new vehicle. As well, a new vehicle can experience a value depreciation of up to 20% the day you drive it off the lot.

]]>

Considering purchasing a newer used car? Well, you are then faced with the possibility of buying a car with similar, if not worse, car problems than the ones you already have. This is another reason why you should seriously consider the possibility of auto repair shop service as opposed to replacement.

Among other things to consider, unless you plan to purchase a car outright, is the interest you will be paying on your car loan. All of these expenses can begin to add up once they begin to show up on a monthly basis, and all of them can easily be deterred by gaining another year’s worth of performance from your vehicle. As well, spending small amounts of money to auto repair service some of those nuisance problems on your vehicle can cause you to fall in love with it all over again.

Here at Excel Auto & Tire Service, we aren’t saying every car repair is economically viable, but we are suggesting you give us the opportunity to let you know our expert opinion. Bring your vehicle in and let us assess it. We will offer you the ethical and sound advice of a reputable auto repair shop and help you determine for yourself whether repair or replacement of your vehicle is in order. You can find us throughout Minnesota: In Brooklyn Park, Eagan, Chanhassen, Spring Lake Park and Maplewood, MN.

InventHelp® Client Patents “Keeping It Wheel” – Invention Could Offer Protective Barrier When Detailing Automobile

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) April 7, 2010

InventHelp®, America’s leading inventor service company, announces that one of its clients, an inventor from Indiana, has designed an auto detailing accessory which could be used to protect rims from chemicals while detailing tires. This invention is patented.

“Keeping It Wheel” could help eliminate damaging chemical accumulation deep within the rim. The accessory could help to facilitate the process of detailing one’s tires without the need for constant touch-ups. The unit would feature a lightweight, compact design for easy storage and easy transport.

Keeping It Wheel would consist of a conical rim cover that would open and close like a paper fan. The unit could be producible from plastic and in various colors. Prior to washing a car’s tire, a user would expand the cover into a circular configuration and attach it over the rim and hubcap. The unit would include a center handle for easy positioning. A user would then spray or coat the tires with detailing solutions, and the cover would prevent contact with the rim. After detailing the tire, a user would remove the cover and fold it back into its compact state. A small clamp would secure the unit in that position. The unit may include an accompanying carrying case for easy storage and transportation. The unit could be producible in various sizes to accommodate any rim size.

InventHelp® is attempting to submit the invention to companies for review. If substantial interest is expressed, the company will attempt to negotiate for a sale or royalties for the inventor. For more information, telephone Dept. 05-INY-289 at (800) 851-6030. Learn more about InventHelp® and their Invention Submission services at http://www.inventhelp.com.

Another Green Honor For Carwash Company

Seattle, WA (PRWEB) April 6, 2009

Advanced Mobile, LLC, a provider of auto detailing services, announces their acceptance by the 2009 National Green Pages™. To qualify and carry Green America’s Seal of Approval, Advanced Mobile passed a comprehensive review demonstrating a “values-driven” organization, “principles of social justice and environmental sustainability”, and commitment to “extraordinary practices that benefit workers, customers, communities, and the environment.”

“We filled this niche long before global warming, world water crises, and historic unemployment became daily headlines,” said Doug Nafziger, CEO. “Washing cars by hand is a simple task – but customers appreciate we can help curb their carbon footprint while creating ‘green jobs’ and conserving water. We are proud to be the first car wash service recognized in the 25 year history of the National Green Pages. It is encouraging to be acknowledged for our efforts; and with National Car Care Month and Earth Day – April is a great time to share the news.”

According to Nafziger, “Our process is nearly 1,000 times more efficient than a conventional carwash – 30 car washes per gallon versus 30 gallons per car wash – so even those with their own facility can save substantially. These water savings result in a 99% reduction in the associated CO2 emissions. Applied nationwide, our method would save 60 billion gallons of water and 400 million pounds of CO2 emissions every year.”

Advanced Mobile’s Eco-Clean System conserves 90% of the water required by conventional car washing. In 2008, Advanced Mobile needed just 335 gallons of a patented soap and water mixture to wash 10,000 vehicles in Seattle, Chicago, and Portland. That is 300,000+ gallons less water than required by car wash facilities requiring 30 gallons or more for every car washed.

Advanced Mobile has previously been recognized for its sustainable practices. They are the first vehicle cleaning service recognized as a national EPA Water Efficiency Leader, and the only car wash certified as a green business by King County EnviroStars.
