There are very few things more satisfying than buying a new car. There is great
pride of ownership and a feeling of accomplishment and pride as you drive around
town in your new vehicle. For most of us, that new car excitement lasts until
we must make our first payment or until we get our first parking lot ding. For
an unlucky few, they wish these were the only negatives that they had to worry
about.
These unlucky few are the people who find themselves with an a ...

There is a relationship between the auto repair technician Flat Rate pay system and the incidence of unrepaired Lemon Vehicles. It is more direct than one might think.
What is Flat Rate Pay System?
It’s old-fashioned piecework plain and simple. Imagine picking peaches. Instead of an hourly wage, you get paid a penny a peach.
The auto manufacturer establishes fixed times for every conceivable repair. This includes everything from a bulb replacement to installing a new engine. ...

Lemon law cases follow a certain sequence, as do most other legal matters. Roughly sixty five percent of the time a lemon law case never reaches the litigation stage. These cases are handled in what is called prelitigation.
Phase I: It goes roughly like this. Joe Jones buys a new vehicle: Ford, Nissan, BMW, it doesn’t matter which kind, they all manufacture lemons; some more than others. Joe drives the vehicle for a month or so then he notices that whenever he hits the brake, the steeri ...

No. Lemon law is not something that you should be aware of when buying lemons.
Car consumers’ rights
Despite its name, Lemon Law actually refers to state laws that govern faulty vehicles. It offers consumers protection against defects in the car and gives them the right to demand for replacement or refund. A lemon, in fact, refers to a vehicle that has defects, diminishing its value, impairing its use and causing problems in safety. The Lemon Law recognizes the right of the consum ...

In 1982, California became the first state to pass an automobile “lemon law” which gave owners of defective cars the opportunity to seek a replacement or a refund for a new car that had a defect that could not be repaired in a reasonable amount of time. This law proved so popular that other states soon followed suit. Less than twenty five years later, all fifty states have some sort of lemon law on their books. California may take the lead again in the protection of auto buyers as the state A ...

Auto Detailing: Maintaining A Commercial Carpet Extractor
You should drain your carpet extractor at the end of each use or at least by the end of the day. Do not dump the excess dirty water or soap into a storm drain. Dump it into a toilet, sink or on a lawn. It is not allowed in the storm drain that is for storm water only and not the kind of scum, which is found in the discharge tank of a carpet extractor. If you leave the fluid in the tank more than a couple of days, it will be very ...

Mechanic Shortages? You Bet. Nothing is more serious than Labor issues. In Arizona the incoming Governor is poised to try to train skilled labor and set the bar higher for those jobs, which need filling. Everything from constructions to maintenance. For every 10 mechanics that leave or retire only three enter the market. Thus supply and demand is dictating increased wages, but not very much and certainly not as much as expected. Some is offset by low wage payers such as Wal-Mart oil changing ...

Many small time mobile auto detailers do not realize the importance of local government relations. A City Hall will contain lots and lots of information that can help you. Think of yourself as an information scout, when visiting a city hall. You should first go to the planning department and ask if there are any restrictions on mobile businesses within the city limits. Talk to a clerk and when they ask what kind of business, just say; "mobile car detailing". Chances are everything will be fin ...

Many times small business mobile auto detailing companies fall short in their promotions and public relations. Generally one could attribute this to the fact that business is always good and cars in the United States are quite plentiful, even more than people. In fact there are 1.2 cars for every man, woman and child in this country, including all the school buses, postal jeeps, delivery vans and police cars. Think about it; all the boats, motorcycles, trailers, motor homes, SUVs, mini-vans a ...
