What do you know about your car? Do you know how to change the oil or switch a flat tire? Hey, don’t worry; not all of us are automotive inclined. I know that I’m definitely not. I basically know how to put gasoline in my car, check the coolant level and checking the washer fluid, check the air pressure in my tires, and if I have to, change a flat tire. That summarizes my vehicle knowledge. Not too pretty, huh? The truth is I have never really had to do other things than those few just mentioned. I leave brake pads, shocks, steering wheel fluid and automotive oil filters up to the garage. Though, I am interested in learning more about vehicles in general. Especially the simple routine stuff; like changing the oil for instance. Do you know how to change the oil on your car? Automotive oil filters may come in handy.

What is the cost of automotive oil filters these days? Well, I suppose that this can vary from car to car. On the other hand, I am not the one you should be talking to about this. A great place to begin this automotive ride is on the Internet. In cyberspace you can find any and everything concerning car accessories and repair. Yes you can, online you will be provided with all the important information at no cost. Isn’t that the way we all want it anyway? Heck, I for one, will take all the free information I can get my hands on. You should be inclined to do the same. I myself have always assumed that I knew the least about cars out of anyone I know. I found out that I was dead wrong.

I didn’t know that my software professor back in college knew less than I. In fact she was talking about it in class one day. She told us that earlier that week, she was almost didn’t make it home from work, because something was wrong with her car. Logically I waited for her to say something about the car’s engine. Or at least something broken that would put a stop to the vehicle from making it all the way to her house. However, the problem was about her fuel tank. It was low on gas. You see, her husband always fills the cars with gas. She had never put gas on her car before, and claimed she didn’t even know how. Is this weird or what?

Well, if you are searching for automotive oil filters for your car, simply get on the web or head on over to Wal-Mart. Chances are good they will have what you’re looking for. This way you can start changing your oil yourself. I know I’m ready to. We need to know more about the cars we drive.

It is amazing the competition these days around the United States for onsite car dealership lot washing. As the founder of The Car Wash Guys and now retired, often I get emails asking specific questions about the mobile car wash market. Recently someone out there in Sunny Southern California asked what he might charge a new car lot customer with 60-80 cars.

Well, it depends on weather in most markets although in Southern California the weather is always pretty decent. Of course when it rains, yes it even rains in Southern California, especially on El Nino years there are things to think about. So, I asked the gentleman which market he was in so I might give him some advice on how much he should charge.

He was in San Diego County so: I would say in your area you might need to charge $1.30 per car. Of course there is significant Hispanic Mobile Car Wash Companies bidding the price way down under $1.00 per car. Also being an Auto Detailing Company too one consideration is to attempt to get the in-house wholesale detail account for new car preps and/or used car detailing, etc.

In this case washing 60-80 cars and considering a frequency of washing at 2 times per week with De-I or RO he might be able to be bundled into the price or in trade for a use of their 1-2 bays in back? So, perhaps he might look at this from another angle? Well that is how you might attack such a problem in your market if you have similar situation and are considering on-site car dealership lot washing. I hope this article at least helped you think on this subject for your 2007 marketing.

I was watching Miami Ink the other night on TLC and Ami James, the shop owner, was buying himself a car now that the shop is doing well. He ended up buying a 1972 Cuda with a 340. Being someone that has had toy cars in the past it got me to thinking. Why is it that guys are so into cars? Ami makes some money and the first big purchase he made was a car.

I tried to figure out what it was about cars that made me buy toy cars. My last toy car purchase was a 1987 Buick Grand National with 10,042 original miles. The car was beautiful. So beautiful in fact that I hardly ever drove the car for fear of something happening to it. As much as I enjoyed driving the car, because they are very fun to drive, I loved just looking at it shining in my garage as well.

In an effort to get to the bottom of this I posed the question to some friends that are also into cars, even more so than I am. Each of them said that they couldn’t put it into words but they felt it was in their blood. They grew up around cars because of their dad and they just always loved them. The same was true for me, my father was into cars and we went to car shows together. But, that still does not answer the question. We all have a sister and the sisters were all exposed to the same things we were as far as our father being around cars. They could care less about cars, as long as they have one to drive the kids and get to work they are fine.

So what is it? What causes men to go spend thousands and thousands of dollars on weekend cruisers? I see cars for sale on eBay where it is obvious that someone had put $30,000 worth of parts and goodies in their cars.

I do not think the reason for the interest in cars is hereditary. There is something about the “need for speed” or the power of some of these cars. That gives me a rush when I drive them, but I could get those things from many cars off a showroom floor nowadays. There is also a sense of freedom when you are on a nice cruise on a brisk fall day. Once again, I could get that from any car I was driving.

The conclusion I have come to is that there truly is no way to describe it. There are just some things that you can never find words to explain, such as your love for a child. You obviously love your kids but there is now way to explain just how much. I would love to hear from anyone that could put into words why they like cars as much as they do, I think that would be interesting conversation.
