			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Everyone wants to get a good deal when they buy motorcycle parts and why not? Getting a good deal is all part and parcel of life; it saves you money and brings a great sense of satisfaction. So how can you be sure of getting a good deal when buying motorcycle parts? Firstly, what constitutes a good deal? It is not just saving a few dollars. It is also getting good service, having your part available quickly and getting a quality part for the money you pay.</p>
<p>So to save money on getting your motorcycle parts you need to avoid those places with big, glossy advertising. Why? Because advertising costs money and those costs will be passed onto the consumer. This applies as much to online stores as to the ones you see advertised in the newspaper.</p>
<p>Online stores often advertise with Google by having what is called pay-per-click ads. Their advertisements are under the sponsored ads section on the Google list that comes up when you type in your search term. Sometimes they have to pay up to $5.00 every time someone clicks on their ad. But if the person does not buy anything this money must be added onto the costs of the next customers.</p>
<p>So instead of clicking on those sponsored ads for motorcycle parts, type into the Google search bar your exact search term &#8211; rather than a general term &#8211; and then click on those ads that are not under the sponsored ads list. For good service, make sure you get a 100% money back guarantee and for good motorcycle parts you need to deal with a reputable dealer.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin:5px;font-size:80%;"><img alt="Auto trend" src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2256/2191216093_e281729bc9_m.jpg" width="160"/><br/> </div>
<p>According to credit reporting agency TransUnion, auto loan delinquency rates have come down as per its latest analysis for the first quarter of 2010. The agency says &#8211; Auto loan delinquency rates have dropped over 18% from the fourth quarter of 2009 to the first quarter of 2010. This downward trend is expected to continue in the second quarter of 2010 as well.</p>
<p>This is good news for the auto loan industry which suffered huge losses due to the global economic recession. The road to recovery after recession has begun and the auto loan industry can now look forward for a great summer ahead. Auto financing companies can expect more business as consumer confidence level continues to improve due to better economic conditions.</p>
<p>Financial institutions were reluctant to offer auto loans to customers unless they had high credit scores. This is expected to change now and lenders can be more confident while they provide auto loan to customers. This will not only benefit the auto loan industry but also the automotive industry on the whole.</p>
<p>Anthony Tribunella, Expert and Director of Operations at Auto Relief Group says, &#8220;The decline in delinquency rates proves revival of the U.S economy and it will be interesting to see how lending institutions capitalize on the opportunity that beckons&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin:5px;font-size:80%;"><img alt="Automotive shows" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3064/2527538191_1d44def31a_m.jpg" width="160"/><br/> </div>
<p>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&#8217;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.&#13;</p>
<p>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.&#13;</p>
<p>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&#8217; needs.&#13;</p>
<p>Naturally, the curriculum is a major factor in the quality of your education. The school you attend should have several different degree programs to choose from, allowing students flexibility in choosing their career paths. A good automotive school also offers an Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification program, where students can become certified in different areas of expertise, adding to their qualifications and increasing their potential salaries. ASE certification requires passing at least one of more than forty available tests, as well as proof of at least two years of relevant work experience; the school you attend should fully support students in acquiring these certifications.&#13;</p>
<p>Accreditation is also an important indicator of the quality of education a school can provide. Accreditation verifies that a school meets a predetermined set of standards; however, there are many different accreditation agencies, so it is important to research not only a school&#8217;s accreditation, but also the accrediting agency&#8217;s reputation and standards. If being able to transfer courses you have taken is important to you, be sure to find out how many other schools are accredited by the agency, and whether the credits you earn at the school can be transferred.&#13;</p>
<p>Additionally, you should consider the school&#8217;s reputation: an education from a school with a good reputation can make you stand out from the other applicants and help you get a job, but an education from a school with a bad reputation can also hurt your chances of getting a good job. By searching the Internet and talking to other mechanics, you can find out whether a school is known for providing quality education. You may also want to contact several dealerships and garages and ask whether they would hire a graduate of one of your top choices. After all, your education must do two things: not only provide you with quality training, but also indicate to potential employers that you have received quality training.&#13;</p>
<p>Similarly, student services are an important part of a good automotive school. Examples of student services are financial aid and loan offices, student housing or assistance in finding housing, and the availability of internships. Job placement services are particularly important; most good schools will offer some type of job placement assistance to students and graduates. A school that guarantees job placement after graduation may indicate a high success rate among its students. Also, many schools have relationships with local dealerships and garages, which is a considerable benefit to students and alumni of the school.&#13;</p>
<p>Naturally, there are other, more personal deciding factors when choosing an automotive school, such as the cost of tuition and the school&#8217;s location. Ultimately, your decision will depend on which features are most important to you. Whether you make your decision based solely on the quality of education the school offers, or on a more tangible benefit such as affordability or location, be certain that you choose a school that will help you achieve the career you seek.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div style="float:left;margin:5px;font-size:80%;"><img alt="Automotive News" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3533/3311647080_d45d9ae999_m.jpg" width="160"/><br/> </div>
<p>Experian today revealed that the number of automotive companies going bust rose by 30.9 per cent during the second quarter of 2008, compared to the same period in 2007.</p>
<p>&#13;</p>
<p>Despite a positive start to the year, 72 automotive businesses failed during April, May and June, representing the biggest increase in Q2 automotive failures since 2001.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
The total number of insolvencies within the automotive industry for the first half of the year now stands at 134 – an increase of 10.7 per cent on last year.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Of the 34 industries analysed by Experian, the automotive industry had the 10th highest increase in insolvencies in quarter two.  Overall during this quarter, the total number of businesses in all sectors going bust rose by 19.7 per cent.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Kirk Fletcher, Managing Director of Experian’s Automotive division, said,  &#8220;everyone knew 2008 was going to be a tough year.  However, when the year began positively – with quarter one seeing a six per cent drop in insolvencies and both new and used car sales remaining fairly stable – there was hope the industry may manage to ride out the credit crunch for a few more months. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
These latest figures reveal a worrying nose dive.  Conditions are tough and with fears of a recession on its way, most companies are now monitoring the profiles of the businesses they are dealing with and dealers may find that they are under more scrutiny than before.  Even those who are managing to keep their heads above water need to keep an eye on their financial and commercial profile.</p>
<p>&#13;<br />
Fletcher also said that in the automotive industry, stock value is high and traditional lines of credit are vital.  Whilst generating sales is important, maintaining a good business credit score and a low risk profile will be the factors that help dealers retain their business relationships and lines of credit.<br /><strong><br />&#13;<br />
Conflicting reports</strong></p>
<p>&#13;<br />
In what appears to be contradictory information coming into SME Web. Equifax, Experian&#8217;s competitor, reported in their Quarter 2 analysis of the UK economy that the transport and communications sector saw a drop in business failures year on year by 9.3%. </p>
<p>&#13;<br />
