Changing The Smell Isn’t So Swell!
October 6, 2010
Every so often I get the uncontrollable urge for that new car smell or in my case, that new truck smell. When this happens, I start finding all kinds of faults with my existing loyal, reliable vehicle. I mean, it has scars, dings and scratches representing years and miles of service. ...

The Great Cover Up
May 30, 2010
The Great Cover Up The operative word is "great"! A great company with great people! What is the first thing we car owners do to dress up our engine compartment other than reduce the dirt and grease with our handy spray washer? We add a set of shiny, smooth, chromed valve covers.

Are You Slipping, Shudderring, Clanging When You Take Off? You Need A Fix, A Transmission Fix!
January 7, 2010
I just finished a telephone conversation with a delightful lady named Alex Ramirez. It’s not unusual to have a chat with a lovely lady, it is unusual to discuss Ford 4R70W electronic controlled 4 speed automatic transmission with an over drive gear and lock-up feature. Or a GM TH-400 automatic transmission built to handle the high horsepower of the big block Chevy engine....
