Packaging tips for sending items through courier services
0 comments Posted by car manual and matic at 7:43 AMAre you planning to send a parcel through a reputed courier service? People often rely upon the couriers as a way of ensuring that the important items would be transported to the destination safely and timely. Nobody would send a parcel that is of no importance. Since the parcel you are sending is valuable, it is important that it requires optimum protection. Proper packing ensures that the contents inside the parcel would be secured. Sometimes the package would be official nature containing business documents. Thus it becomes necessary that the items should be packed properly.
A reputed courier would ensure the safety of the item being sent. However you should not rely upon the delivery service alone. It is your responsibility to ensure proper packaging so that the parcel is protected against collision or physical impact. Consider certain packing tips in mind for a better delivery at the destination.
If you are sending some important business documents, use a heavy duty envelope to enclose the items. Choose an envelope which does not tear very easily. There are special envelopes with cardboard on one side instead of paper. There are also enveloped which has a cloth lining inside so that it would remain strong. On the other hand, if you are sending large business documents, never use the envelopes. Such documents should be sent through a sturdy poster tube. Such poster tubes are generally made of hardened cardboard or plastic for shield.
Sometimes delicate items are also sent via courier services. Since the nature of the materials inside is delicate, chances are there that the contents might get damaged during the transit. In such cases square boxes or corrugated boxes are perfect for securing the materials inside. You can also go for rated boxes which has a certified stamp on the bottom. This stamp would give an idea about the gross weight that can be carried in that particular box. Remember to buy package boxes that would be slightly larger than the parcel. Minimum one inch of space should be ideally kept around the item so that the impact of any collision would be reduced. Used boxes are also used for sending the packages through courier companies. But they should be in a good condition. You need to make sure that any labels or shipments markings should be removed from these boxes.
Appropriate insulation of the boxes is extremely important during packing. Materials like newspapers, bubble wraps can make excellent choices for insulation. For protecting the parcel from falling, you can use a heavy duty parcel tape. Make sure to mark the box as ‘fragile’ if the contents inside are easily breakable. The packages are exposed to weather conditions. Hence water proof packaging is recommended if the contents inside are prone to sogginess. Last but not the least; ensure that the address label is placed properly on the box. Paste a clear tape.

Since tomorrow is the last day of our Summer Travel Story Contest (hint hint), I thought it would be appropriate to share one of my own stories of travel misadventure. Even thought I'm not eligible to win the sweet weekend getaway we're giving away (HINT HINT!)
When I was going to college in Washington State's Puget Sound, I would often drive out to Anacortes to catch a ferry out to the San Juan Islands, where my uncle lived (with his dog, in a mancave). It was a trip I made so often that I tended to put myself on autopilot. Sometimes I'd wake up two hours after leaving my apartment with absolutely no memory of the drive, parking my car, buying tickets or boarding the ferry.
As soon as summer break let out following my Sophomore year, I threw my clothes in my 1991 Mitsubishi pickup and headed out to the islands to spend some time oyster hunting on my uncle's boat. My (amazingly rust-free) little Mitsubishi had a tendency to use oil, so I took my brain off autopilot halfway there, added two quarts of oil, then put my brain back to sleep and continued on my way.
Just as I was pulling in to Anacortes, something under my hood started smoking. Shortly, smoke was pouring out from under my Mitsubishi's hood, the temperature gauge sank into the red and my gears started making horrible clunking noises as I shifted. Terrified, late for my ferry and on the brink of tears, I pulled into the nearest parking lot. Which just happened to be the parking lot of an AAA auto repair shop (no joke).
A friendly mechanic in dirty overalls came over and asked me what was wrong. Through my "why is this happening to me" breakdown, he discovered the truck used oil. He popped the hood, took one look at the oil spewed over all the components and kindly suggested that I may have left the oil cap off when I refilled.
Sure enough, the cap was off. It was perched neatly a few inches to the left, still waiting to be replaced.
Because no man likes to see a woman in distress, the mechanic cleaned off the components and refilled the tank with oil. He only let me pay him for the oil. Embarrassed and relieved, I headed back out to the ferry dock just in time for the last boarding call.
Only 28 more hours to submit your own story! (hint hint), I thought it would be appropriate to share one of my own stories of travel misadventures. Even though I'm not eligible to win the free weekend getaway (HINT HINT).

A Woman’s Point of View: Car Brakes, Beauty and Functionality
0 comments Posted by car manual and matic at 11:04 AM
by Colette Cooley, Cars for Keeps Office Manager
The other day I had new brakes put on my car. If you are anything like me the only thing you know about brakes is that you step on the little black pedal and the car stops. Also, if when stepping on the little black pedal you hear a teeth rattling squeal, you probably need new brakes. IMHO, that's more or less all you really need to know about the brakes on your car. The rest of it is what we keep our technicians around for!
Working at a car repair facility I get the opportunity to learn the finer points of car repair. When my brake discs came in, much to my surprise, they were gorgeous. They were the prettiest, shiny silver and had these swirly carvings on them. Being very interested in anything remotely, artistic, I asked why they were so pretty. I was told the swirls have a very practical reason for being there.
Over time, the swirls wear down with use of the brakes and when visually inspected lets you know when you may need new brakes in the near future. I also facetiously asked if they came in pink or lavender, only to be told that there are brake discs out there that are red and even blue, but for odd makes of cars only.
Is this the start of a new trend? Are manufacturers beginning to understand that women like pretty things? Even if they can’t be seen, it makes a woman feel good just knowing that her brakes are pretty and color coordinated to her personality.

American Soldiers Train Iraqi Security Forces on Routine Auto Maintenance & Repair
0 comments Posted by car manual and matic at 8:07 AM

It's not very often I come across a story in the auto repair industry that is truly inspiring, but this story fits that bill.
According to the Army News Service, a handful of the 50,000 soldiers who remain in Iraq to assist in rebuilding the country are teaching valuable auto repair and maintenance skills to Iraqi Security Forces (ISF). The article cited Spc. Henry Moss and Spc. Edwin Perez, both mechanics with the 703rd BSB, who expressed the usefulness of this training. Both Moss and Perez have seen encouraging signs of ISF mechanics' improvement, a critical element in the future stability of Iraq.
Perez noted that vehicles in Iraq often need extra attention due to the country's extreme heat. According to Moss, a lack of regular preventative maintenance checks and services have been the number one cause of ISF vehicle breakdowns (sound familiar?) - until now, that is. With the help of auto technician-trained American Soldiers, Iraqi mechanics are quickly developing the skills to maintain their army vehicles and be more efficient with part replacement. Performing regular maintenance and service allows the ISF to maintain more reliable vehicles, making the country's infrastructure stronger and more secure.
According to Moss, Iraqi Army mechanics have improved their skills vastly since he began training with them.
"When we first got here, they would just replace any problematic (vehicle component)...Now, they are troubleshooting the equipment instead of spending thousands of dollars replacing it. Maintaining these skills is very important. If they don't have these skills, then they cannot defend against the people who are trying to attack them."
Thank you, troops!

I stopped at a garage sale the other night to look at a desk sitting by the curb. The lady who owned it and I started talking and she began telling me that they were downsizing into their summer cottage here in Grand Haven from their larger home in Lansing. We talked of the risks they were taking by leaving her successful real estate business and starting over in another town while her husband was still commuting to Lansing for his job. The challenges of starting her kids in a new school, of meeting new friends and finding new places for needed services was daunting and a bit overwhelming at times.
I gave her one of my business cards and told her of some of the services we offered at Cars For Keeps. She let out a breath of relief and said that one of the worst things to leave behind was their trusted garage mechanic. She was very grateful to find a maintenance and repair facility to go here in their new town. With her job as a real estate agent and her husband commuting long distances every day, the reliability of their cars have become extremely important. A top priority for her was solved by a chance meeting.
Out top priority at Cars For Keeps is our customers' welfare and confidence in us.
Incidentally, although I did not end up buying the desk, I did buy a beautiful vase from her, and we both met a new friend.

Our Service Manager, Dennis, is on vacation this week so I am spending more time on the front counter waiting on and talking to our customers. I am enjoying it very much and have missed it since I am usually at my little cubicle talking to the computer, saying things like “No! I didn’t mean to do that” or “Yes! I can’t believe the figures match”. You get the drift.
Anyway, talking to people has gotten me in touch with their questions and feelings about what is needed to better serve our customers. Many of their questions are about what services we offer.
So, for the record, we do all repair and maintenance required on every make of car. We do not do body work, but usually if body work is needed, so is repair. We work closely with two body shops to co-ordinate repairs in the shortest time possible.
Mike, our head mechanic, has the conservationist's philosophy of saving every car, one car at a time. Another goal of ours is to provide our customers with a clean and comfortable environment when they come in. Let’s face it, waiting for your car to be serviced is not real high on anyone’s list of things to do, but we try to make this a little easier on our customers by keeping the shop spotless. Even the garage does not escape routine cleaning and freshening.
As I write this our fearless leader, Rob, is power washing and repainting the garage floor. A clean and organized work area helps to keep our mechanics happy, and when our mechanics are happy, everybody is happy.
So why not bring your happy little self down to look us over and get to know us and discover the quality service that we give to you and your car.
You are planning to move your motorcycle form one place to another. First thing you have to understand is that the process of motorcycle delivery is not like Fed-Ex or postal service. You must find a good motorcycle shipping company that will provide you with the required services and transport your motorbike to the desired destination. However, when it comes to finding the perfect motorcycle shipping service company, you must do a lot of research on them.
While you are planning a move, you would definitely look for a reputable motorcycle delivery service company since they are the ones who will most likely take proper care of the vehicle. It is not a wise thing to cling upon cheap rates and then have to pay more later if at all your motorbike is damaged in transit. You should also be aware of auto transport spam involving companies who will take your vehicle and will never hear from them again. So it becomes important to be wary of cheap rates.
It is not exactly a tough job to find a popular motorcycle shipping company with the availability of various online websites that provides detailed information of auto transport as well as motorbike transport companies. Hence with a little of research it becomes easy to locate a good and reputable shipping company who can be trusted and would not charge huge amounts for the transportation service that they offer.
You are paying for the services that the company offers. So it is essential that you should know what you are paying for. You need to makes sure that you have all the details related to the motorcycle shipping transaction that you will be having when it comes to actually acquiring the services. There would be lot of paperwork involved during the transit from informing the company of the exact location where you need the vehicle to be delivered and also the exact time and date. Also you need to inform the kind of the motorbike you poses and basically everything that concerns about your motorcycle for the knowledge of the company.
Usually the information that you pass over to the motorcycle shipping company would be of great use for the company. They would rely upon the information and it would be considered as the basis on how they will price the transaction. Most of the transporting company would try to meet the desired time and date of delivery that you have mentioned. So it becomes essential that you convey proper information to them. The company must be able to give you a good assessment of how much it will cost you to actually ship the vehicle from one place to another.
It should be noted that when it comes to motorbike delivery there is always a hit or miss chance while you are trying to find the best motorcycle shipping company in the area. However with proper research and proper understanding of the whole process, it would not be a tiresome job. Here you can rely upon internet as it serves as a good source of information.

It is a time consuming task to find a reputable auto transport company that would transport your car from one place to another responsibly and carefully. Once you have hired a reliable car transporter, you need to prepare the car for the transit. The vehicle should be properly inspected for any kind of snags or scratches. Make sure to keep the gas tank to ¼ for lessening the weight. Also the vehicle transport company should be informed of any type of leakages or starting troubles of your car.
The car transport company must have given you a defined time and date for the vehicle pickup. Make sure that you are on time to meet the driver and the meeting point should be clearly defined and easily accessible for both parties. The truck used for transit would be quite large for narrow lanes. If you delay the pickup by coming late, you are causing inconvenience to other customers as well. So it is better to be on the spot on time.
It is not a wise thing to leave the car with the car transporters without taking any proper documents. Be sure that you get an original inspection report prior to handing over the keys. The report must contain information on pickup and delivery, car’s current mileage and more importantly the present condition of the car like pre existing scratches and dents, cracked glass/ mirrors, general paint condition etc. This report should be kept safe as it would be of great use during car delivery. During car delivery, the person receiving the car should essentially have this report with him for cross checking the vehicle’s condition.
You must be punctual not only while handing over the car but also during the vehicle delivery. Reach the defined location early so that there would not be any delay for other cars sitting on the trailer. As and when the car arrives, you need to do a slow and methodical inspection of the vehicle with a copy of the original inspection report. Compare the condition of the car with the report and check if there are any cosmetic or discernable mechanical damage that was not noted in the original inspection report. It is important to check underneath the car as well. If you locate any damage that is not present in the original report, note down each of the incidents and make sure that the driver signs it. Never accept a vehicle until and unless you have clearly inspected it. It is not advisable to accept the vehicle at night unless there is enough light to do proper inspection.
Even though car transport is basically a trouble free process, chances are there that damages may occur and it is important to understand the process of receiving compensation for the damage. Once you have found some damages that have happened during the transit, make sure to note it down and get the driver’s signature. Contact the vehicle transporters and they would verify the claim raised by you. If the claim is proven right, the company would reimburse for the damages.

Things to know before starting a courier service business
0 comments Posted by car manual and matic at 1:18 PMWith technological advancements, the world has become more interconnected and globalised. This in turn increases the demand for more business services. Over the past decade there has been a huge increase in demand for courier service. If you are focusing on a business oriented career, the best profitable option would be to start a courier service business. It would be a perfect opportunity to capture the ever growing share of the courier market. However it is not an easy task to launch and flourish the business. You need to prepare well and keep in mind certain things for gaining success.
Mode of transport is the basic part of the couriers. Hence you need to define your area of operation as the first step in building the career. You have two options; either to use your car for delivery or you can be bicycle courier man. There are benefits for each service as with a car you can pick up and deliver items across the town while there are limitations with the bike. For starters, the bicycle courier would be a best option if your business is bustled with clients like law firms, banks and other offices that cab sustain your business. On the other hand, if there is no high density of offices, a car courier will be sufficient. So kick off the service by defining the area of operation.
Couriers are not something garden fresh. So there are chances that the area you wish to work would already be mushroomed with many established businesses. Here you must think wisely and become a sub contractor instead. Many times the established business may face overflow and they would be happy to distribute the work among sub contractors. It is good if you can manage both bike and car as it would you to dash form one part of the town to another.
Being a sub contractor means you can make some relaxations in the delivery charges. You can charge less than the actual business fee. But make sure that you charge enough to gain some profit from. Money is needed for operating bike or car. So make some worth out of the bills. In the beginning itself, realistically consider how much money you need to make to break and then approach other couriers in your area for finding their delivery charges. Try to come up with a fee within the range that you have quoted and hand over the prepared fee schedule to the customers.
Marketing and promotion is the core of any business. People tend to opt for reliable and professional services. Hence it is necessary to do marketing and project the company as completely official. The basic thing in this regard would be to set up a bank account for your business, getting license, buying insurance and also printing of business cards. If you can successfully establish a professional setup, potential clients would take you more seriously. Advertising should also be done using locally distributed handouts and also online. This is applicable for both bike as well as car couriers and sub contractors.

There are benefits for each service as with a car you can pick up and deliver items across the town while there are limitations with the bike. For starters, the bicycle courier would be a best option if your business is bustled with clients like law firms, banks and other offices that cab sustain your business. On the other hand, if there is no high density of offices, a car courier will be sufficient. So kick off the service by defining the area of operation.
Couriers are not something garden fresh. So there are chances that the area you wish to work would already be mushroomed with many established businesses. Here you must think wisely and become a sub contractor instead. Many times the established business may face overflow and they would be happy to distribute the work among sub contractors. It is good if you can manage both bike and car as it would you to dash form one part of the town to another.
Being a sub contractor means you can make some relaxations in the delivery charges. You can charge less than the actual business fee. But make sure that you charge enough to gain some profit from. Money is needed for operating bike or car. So make some worth out of the bills. In the beginning itself, realistically consider how much money you need to make to break and then approach other couriers in your area for finding their delivery charges. Try to come up with a fee within the range that you have quoted and hand over the prepared fee schedule to the customers.
Marketing and promotion is the core of any business. People tend to opt for reliable and professional services. Hence it is necessary to do marketing and project the company as completely official. The basic thing in this regard would be to set up a bank account for your business, getting license, buying insurance and also printing of business cards. If you can successfully establish a professional setup, potential clients would take you more seriously. Advertising should also be done using locally distributed handouts and also online. This is applicable for both bike as well as car couriers and sub contractors.
There would be many instances where you would like to go for motorcycle shipping. Sometimes you must have bought or sold a bike online, or you must be sending it to a friend or traveling across the country to ride. In all these situations you would need to transport your motorbike safely. And for the safe bike delivery, it would be wise to follow certain steps that would minimize the chances of the bike getting damaged during transit. In addition, taking some precautionary steps would help you collect compensation in case any accident occurs in between.
The very first step in motorbike delivery would be finding a reliable motorcycle transporter. It is not a tough job to find one such in your locality. You can either find the company details in local directory or you can even search online. There is yet another option which is convenient and easier. Certain online auto transport companies allow visitors to post shipments online and receive multiple bids from carriers. This is very helpful as you can compare rates of a few shippers to make sure that you are getting a fair deal. Apart from the shipping quotes and services, checking the authenticity of the company is really important. The motorbike transporters should be licensed and insured to ship your bike. You can contact the Better Business Bureau for understanding the reputation of the company.
One you have selected a company to ship the motorbike, you need to take few moves to prepare the bike for the trailer. You need to wash your vehicle properly and closely keep an eye for any existing scratches, dents, dings or other imperfections. Make a note of all these in a written format and also take some photos. Take your time and note the condition of the bike as this would be very helpful if anything happen and you need to file a claim. It is wise to remove items like mirrors which are likely to be lost or broken while shipping. The company may provide insurance but it will not cover any missing or damaged accessories. Hence it is important to double check if everything is in place.
If possible, you need to do a quick mechanical check up before transportation. The bike would not be ridden during the shipment generally but in order to get it on and off the trailer, transporters would fire it up. Hence it becomes necessary for the bike to be in appropriate condition. Check if the tires are properly inflated and fluid level is proper. The gas tank should be filled to a minimum and the battery should also be charged. Sometimes your bike may require certain special starting procedures or it may be experiencing some hitches. In that case you must inform the shipper beforehand regarding these.
Another thing to remember is that if the bike is antique, rare or extremely customized, it is better to go with a motorcycle transport that specializes on such vehicles. Such companies would be experts in taking necessary steps to handle your motorbike.

Ferrari has been developed from the traditions to make it as the highest performance sports car in green. Most of the important car manufacturers increase the sales of their vehicles by using green technology and Ferrari doesn’t want to delay too far behind. While at this time, it is not accurately clear and what will happen if there are several rumor floating around. One of the rumors is that they will incorporate their Kerns system into their street road cars. This was a technology formerly designed for their Formula 1 team in the 2009 season and this system allows the cars a temporarily important boost in power while maintaining a reasonably sized engine. It is also assumed that they will be fitting the cars to run on bio-fuel. It is obtainable to be and interesting for those lucky few who have the income to buy a car. It is important to know that they can enjoy the car horsepower, while keeping the planet green.

The Peugeot iOn is a rear-wheel drive vehicle in which the electric motor and the single-ratio reduction gearbox are installed in front of the rear suspension. The Peugeot iOn is equipped with a new-generation Lithium-ion battery with an energy storage capacity well in excess of the old Ni Cd batteries used in the 1990s (three times more energy per kg or twice as much by unit of volume). While lending itself to tranquil driving, the Peugeot iOn is not lacking in the character and performance. As soon as the need is apparent, use of the accelerator frees up available torque instantly for rapid, linear acceleration. Taking 3.5 seconds to go from 30km/h to 60km/h (compared to 3.9 secs in 3rd in a 207 1.6 litre THP) is evidence of this.
The Peugeot iOn motor is supplied with a 330 V three-phase alternating current (AC) from the inverter which is supplied with a 330 V direct current (DC) from the main battery pack. The inverter regulates the current, frequency and voltage according to the position of the accelerator pedal. The controlled response when the accelerator is pressed has been designed to ensure a good distribution of power when required.
The inverter, the motor and the reduction gearing provides a potential speed range from 0 to 130 kph. The single reduction gear provides an overall ratio of 6.066 in both forward and reverse gears. Reverse gear is obtained by reversing the direction of the motor’s operation. The Neodyme (Nd) synchronous permanent magnet electric motor is particularly compact. With a maximum power of 47 kW.h (64 bhp) it has a maximum torque of 180 Nm from 0 to 2000 rpm.
