Choosing Part Type For Your Car

September 12th, 2011

Unless your insurance company specifies that only OEM car parts that can be used, the shop must be able to offer more choices in types and brands for your car. Used parts of all types can be 50 percent less expensive than the original equipment, but if you choose poor quality parts, you may end up paying a lot more than OEM parts. You should choose everything that can be reused or at least recycled. These are advantages and disadvantages of each type of part you may find in the market:

  • Original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts are issued by the vehicle manufacturer. They tend to cost more, however they include a warranty, are often more durable and are specifically designed for your vehicle.
  • Spare parts, are made by independent providers (a.k.a. aftermarket suppliers). They can be of poor quality or a perfect match with OEM parts. Ask your service garage about the origin of all spare parts they use and whether there are warranties available.
  • Refurbished parts, are previously used or damaged parts that were disassembled, cleaned and adjusted – often using kits. Make sure that all parts are under warranty and come from trusted and reliable sources
  • Rebuilt factory parts, in general, they had been rebuilt by a major company with large assembly line. Quality depends on how they are recycled. Try to enter the brand name in a popular search engine to get more information about the parts.

Forms of Car Security Systems Available Today

September 12th, 2011

Buying a car is one of the most expensive investments, coming a close second to buying a home or property. You invest so much into buying the car of your dreams that losing it could mean losing your all. How do you feel when you lose your mobile phone or laptop? Stressful and inconveniencing isn’t it… well when you lose your car you will not feel stressful and inconvenienced, you will feel double of that. This is because a car is not as cheap a buy as is a mobile phone or a laptop… we are talking of several thousands of dollars here.

It is because of the fact that car thieves have become very smart today that installing a car security system has become more of a necessity than a luxury. Installing a car security system is a necessity you are better off paying than having your precious investment or some valuable parts of it stolen. Traditionally, car security was about locking the steering wheel and it sure worked since car theft wasn’t as rampant as it is now, plus car thieves were not as smart as they are today.

One of the most popular car security systems is the audible car alert system which triggers a very loud ring that alerts the public at large that someone is trying to access or break into the car illegally. Although the sound could be annoying, these systems are very effective in keeping car thieves at bay. The private alarm system is the other form of car security system available today, and as the name would suggest, it is inaudible save for the fact that any unauthorized access to the car will alert the owner via a pager beep.

What You Should Do When You Have Damaged Windshields

September 6th, 2011

Windshield can be easily pitted and cracked after being hit by debris and other hard objects. It is essential that a windshield is repaired quickly – regardless of their severity, because as you continue to use the car, inevitably they will grow in size, which can distract or obscure your vision. Leaving cracks too long can eventually destroy your windshield. Actions needed to deal with windshield damages depend on the size of the pit and crack.

In general, if the damage is smaller than one inch in diameter, it usually can be repaired easily. If it is much larger, probably you’re better off ordering a new windshield to be installed by skilled technician instead of repairing it, as most of the time the weakened area will eventually give away.If the damage is very small, you can try one of the windshield repair kits available on the market, however its durability compared to repairs performed by professional is still debatable.

If the damage obscures your field of view, repairing the windshield is often a dangerous choice. You should replace the damaged windshield with a new one as soon as possible. It is not a good idea to get a windshield from car junkyard, as it may have small defects and can have very short useful life. Don’t take a windshield from a totaled car, because collision shocks and air bag deployment often create excessive stress on the windshield. When buying a new windshield make sure it is an OEM. Choosing a poor windshield could cause serious injury or even death due to an accident.
