Orange County Auto Paint Restoration Services

By Mathhew Fey

You love your car, and everyone knows that buying an automobile is one of the biggest purchases you can make, only short of buying a house. Due to the cost you take pride in the care and maintenance of your vehicle, and you keep it running and looking its best at all times. That's why those little chips and dings are so important to take care of even though touch up paint repair doesn't usually look the best.

Well, fret no more about dings, chips and road rash in your car's paint-job! Car Paint Chip Repair uses an innovative process, the Dr.ColorChip Paint Chip Repair system, which is far better than any ordinary touch-up paint.

The Orange County car paint repair service offers easy to use kits for commercial and individual use, so you can get the best-looking results in fixing those dings, stone chips and road rash.

Don't make the damage worse using this method even though it has been around for quite some time. With the slurry method paint is applied by sponge or brush and then buffed off. This process leaves some decent enough results, but after a few weeks, the polish wears off, and you're ready for more touch-up. What a head ache.

The Ford Expedition - Very Functional

By Andy Zain

What can I not say about the Ford Expedition? This is a great vehicle for anyone that has a large family, boat, and trailer or hauls a lot of stuff at once. We have owned a van, truck and car and out of all the vehicles we have owned the Ford Expedition is our favorite even down to the kids. We were in the market looking for a new vehicle and test drove several Ford products but fell in love with the Ford Expedition. We purchased the 2006 model that had approximately 60, 000 miles on it.

The newer 2010 Ford Expeditions start with a basic package which includes, power door locks, air conditioning, AM/FM radio with CD player, power windows, cruise control, a roof rack, tilt steering wheel, front and back windshield wipers and automatic transmission. The newer Ford Expeditions start around $35, 000 thousand dollars and go up as much as $50, 000 depending on what options you want.

Most Ford Expeditions come standard with 3rd row seating which seats 9 passengers comfortably. We have a family of 7 and it is nice to all load up and still have room to carry extra people. It is nice to be able to go to the grocery store or on vacation and not be crammed in and still have room.

The Expedition has a smooth ride to it as well as takes curves well. Our Expedition came with a towing accessory which is wonderful because we own a boat so it is nice to be able to all get in one vehicle and tow the boat to wherever we want to go put the boat in. Before we had to take two separate vehicles.

The gas mileage has been approximately 17 miles a gallon and costs around 40-45. 00 to fill it up. The only downside or problem that I have had is that we live so far out in the country that we have to fill up sooner than I would like to. But overall it is well worth it and I can easily overlook the gas mileage because of all its other features.

All of the Expeditions come with 4 doors so it is easy to get in and out; it also has running boards for the high step up which is nice. Inside the door is also a handle so you can grab a hold as you step in.

I would definitely recommend the Ford Expedition to everyone. It has four doors so no one is climbing over anyone's lap you can get in with ease and still have plenty of room. The Ford Expedition is well worth its price tag. - 21392

How to Get Young Driver Insurance

By Tari Coole

Are you in the market for car insurance to cover your teenager or young driver? Did you just about fall over backwards when you saw what it will cost you? Don't worry, this article will give you some good ideas on how you can find the right policy for your financial situation.

To give you a little history... teens are considered to be the highest risk driver group out there. So, an insurance company is going to want to protect themselves against this risk, which is why they charge so much more for anyone under 25.

Within the teen driver group, males, according to recent statistics, between the age of 16 and 17 years old happen to be more prone (than females of the same age) to getting into accidents and having more serious traffic violations.

And, you probably already guessed it, but the boys usually have to pay more than the girls for young driver car insurance.

Not a pleasant thought, but something you should definitely be aware of: first-time and young drivers that are between 16- and 17-years old are three times MORE likely to get into a car crash or accident that those drivers between the ages of 25 and 64.

We all want to protect our teens from the worst case scenarios. And really that is also the intent of insurance companies, believe it or not. To be armed with as much information as possible is what will help you determine the best policy for your needs and those of your young driver.

So, now that you are a little more familiar with these somewhat depressing statistics, you probably are realizing that cheap car insurance for young drivers is a pipe dream. But don't despair! You are about to read some great ideas for lessening the financial burden of adding a teen to your policy or finding a policy that fits your needs.

Have your teenager buy their own personal car insurance policy. This tip is especially helpful if your teen drives an older auto.

Are you adding your teenager to your existing policy? Then, consider having them classified as an "occasional" driver and not a "primary" driver.

Really and truly, all teens and first-time drivers should take a driver's course or class that teaches defensive driving. When your teen finishes the course, this could make them eligible for a reduced premium.

Buying a first car for your teenager? Resist the impulse to buy them a sports car. A low-performance sedan for your first-time driver is the best bet to help you reduce the high cost of insuring a teenager.

And guess what? Grades count! If your teenager has a B average in school or better, you can ask about a student discount. Many insurance companies will allow good grades as a sign of responsibility and thus, give you a better rate for young driver car insurance.

Understand and implement these tips for getting the best rate possible for young driver insurance and you will most likely find the right policy to cover your teen and fit your financial needs as well. - 21392

Automobile Insurance -- Spend Less With These Tips

By Chimezirim Odimba

It's easy to find very cheap quotes and pay much less for the right auto insurance coverage the moment you know the steps to take. I'll reveal a number of steps to take if you want huge discounts that won't put you and yours at risk...

1. If you work for a large company you should be entitled to a group discount. In an effort to attract workers in big organizations, insurance companies often offer them a group discount.

2. Take part in a defensive driving class. In addition to the fact that they will improve your driving, they will show your insurer that you're taking active steps to reduce your risk level.

3. As an under twenty five, you can pay lower automobile insurance premiums if you use your parents' policy. The fact that you're of driving age means that your parents are of a better risk age bracket.

You have to bear in mind, though, that the car must be registered in their name and you must be living with them if you want to take advantage of this option. This means that they legally own the vehicle. If the benefits of "independence" outweigh your auto insurance savings then this is certainly not alternative for you.

4. Belonging to certain professions will cost you much more for auto insurance. Scientists are the cheapest to insure while business owners get the highest rates. The reason for such concessions is that certain occupations have been seen to be better risks.

If you want to find out where your vocation belongs and what to do, ask your agent. Just note that each insurer might maintain a slightly different position.

5. You can lower your auto insurance premium by asking for and comparing quotes from at least five good quotes sites. - 21392
