Securing a vehicle is one of the many musts that a car owner should do in order to protect their investments. As summer progresses, trends show that there will be more vehicles stolen this season as compared to the other months of the year. H.E.A.T. or the Help Eliminate Auto Thefts offers tips to car owners on how to protect their vehicles.

According to the organization, warm weather during the summer months may lead to carelessness on the part of motorists in securing their vehicles. This will, of course, open a window for thieves to steal their vehicle. This month is the National Vehicle Theft Prevention Month and H.E.A.T.’s tips could not come at a better time.

As July progresses, we are approaching the month when the highest number of auto thefts happens compared to other months. This is according to the Auto Theft Prevention Authority.

This is backed up by Col. Peter C. Munoz, the director of the Michigan State Police, saying: “Michigan typically experiences the most auto thefts in August, and nationally, the most auto thefts occur in July. It is important to practice auto theft prevention throughout the summer, whether at home or on vacation.”

“While the summer months mean vacations and cook-outs with family and friends, they also bring car thieves looking to steal exposed property and vehicles,” said Terri Miller, the director of H.E.A.T. “It is important that people keep their guard high by rolling up their windows, locking their doors and putting car tops up, even when running a quick errand,” Miller added.  Read more...

Automotive school is a necessity for anyone who wants to pursue a career as an auto mechanic. However, the school you go to can affect the path your career takes after graduation. Factors such as quality equipment, knowledgeable instructors, strong degree and ASE certification programs, the school’s qualifications and reputation, and student services all lend themselves to the overall quality of your education. Therefore, it is important to thoroughly research the automotive schools you are considering before making a final decision.

Your goal in attending automotive school is to learn as much as possible about auto mechanics; therefore, it is important to ensure that the school will provide the training you need. Part of this training is plenty of hands on experience. A good automotive program should include not only classroom lectures about automotive principles and mechanical theories, but also ample opportunity to work on cars and practice your skills. Be sure to ask how the school gets an ample supply of cars for students to train on; some schools may rely on donations, while others may attract paying customers in the community with discounted rates.

The school you attend should also have an ample supply of up to date equipment. A school with a shortage of the proper tools will make it difficult for you to get sufficient practice, and old or damaged equipment can be a safety hazard. Since your education depends a great deal on the amount of hands on experience you get, the automotive school you attend should be fully equipped to meet the students’ needs.  Read more...

If you own a television, you can’t help but notice the car insurance comparison companies bombarding your screen with repetitive adverts. They tend to have an annoying insistence of making sure they’re at the front of your mind when you come to do your annual car insurance comparison. But they also provide a valuable service – on the whole. But how do you separate the good car insurance comparison sites from the bad? This is how…

<strong>Deciphering Car Insurance Comparison Site Advertising</strong>

Most car insurance comparison site advertising hinges on two areas – being the “cheapest” and market coverage. But they can’t all be the cheapest can they?! It’s “possible” that some sites ask independent researchers to carry out their work at the same time as running a short term deal with an insurer or two – there are external factors that can make them appear cheaper when it counts.

But the fact remains that the car insurance comparison sites are getting to a point where their panels are pretty similar and they’re using the same technology. Differences in prices across car insurance comparison sites will come from manipulation of your excess levels and how well they’ve mapped your details from their site to the insurer’s quote engine.

Also be wary of some very careful uses of terminology. One car insurance comparison site has suggested that they compare “over 400 prices”. When you think about it, this doesn’t mean they’re comparing more than 400 insurers, brands or even policies but few people spend the time to think about the message put out by the car insurance comparison companies.
