I saw this ad on the Internet that I found through an automotive forum. In it one of the members highly recommended this new technology car finish that uses Teflon in it and that supposedly lasts for several years. So I clicked through the link to the website. The 5 Star Shine website makes...
Have you ever been driving somewhere and as you were driving down the road, your car dies. What do you do? Who do you call? This is exactly what happened to me earlier this week. When I first bought my used Ford Escort, I was very hesitant on what would happen if someday my...
I happened to see a lot of advertisements showing how the tornado fuel saver was a wonderful device that could be easily installed in one’s engine for immediate fuel economy savings of several miles per gallon. Being that the price of gas right now is about $2.90 per gallon and that I do a...
Recently I saw an ad on TV that said I would get a great deal on a new car at Botnick Chevrolet. The ad was one of those push, pull or drag your trade in ones where you get a minimum of $2000 or so for your trade. So I drove in with my...
I was looking to replace my car that had been in a wreck with a newer Honda Accord. So I saw an advertisement for Brickell Honda that basically stated that they were the lowest priced and best service Honda dealer in Miami Florida. So I decided to give them a shot and visit their...
I took my Jeep Grand Cherokee to Wal-Mart to get an oil change. Not had to wait in line for about 20 minutes before they came out to ask me what I wanted done and then they said it would be about an hour before it was finished. So I went inside a Wal-Mart...
I don’t know about you, but I had the unfortunate experience of using Advantage Rent a Car on a business trip in Austin Texas recently. I booked my hotel stay online and then I found that Advantage car rental had the best rates for a full-size car for a week’s rental in Austin Texas....
I had rented a Budget truck to go from New York to Florida – I know that’s a heck of a long trip, but I was moving my stuff due to a military transfer. Before I took the truck the owner of the Budget truck rental place told me that the truck was in perfect shape...
I had been wanting to replace my Ford Explorer with a newer one for quite some time. I happened upon an advertisement in a local car shopping magazine where I saw that Harrelson Nissan in Rock Hill, South Carolina had a newer Ford Explorer and in a color that I liked at a great...
I had seen all of the advertisements claiming that the new Turtle Wax Ice synthetic ar polish was the future of car protectants and the most advanced treatment out there. It was a little more expensive than what I’m used to with Turtle Wax. Normally a bottle of the same size of Turtle Wax...
I had the unfortunate circumstance of being a customer of 5starshine.com. I saw their elaborate guarantee and claims on their website about how great their paint protection system was and was enticed. If the paint protection system could really work for five years regardless of the conditions the car would be subjected to, this...
I went to Jiffy Lube recently and unfortunately was charged far more than I bargained for. I went in to get the basic oil change and had a coupon so it should have only been around $15. When they finally came to me with the bill it was $113 and some change. I said,...
Last summer I was involved in a car wreck where I was rear-ended by a criminal fleeing from the police. I suffered some minor scrapes, cuts and bruises. But somehow the criminal driving what the police said was a stolen car got away. He got out of his car and took off into the...
The other day I was looking to buy a newer car. So I wanted to Town & Country Ford because I saw their ad in the newspaper. It looked innocent enough and that I would get the best deal as that’s what they promised in their ad. So we went to the car dealer...
I rented a U-Haul truck to go from Binghamton New York to Ithaca New York. I only needed to remove about one bedrooms worth of stuff, but all they had available was a four-bedroom mover which was a 24 foot truck. Being that I was moving from Binghamton, which is like the armpit of...
I was looking with my wife to replace on of our cars that was coming off of lease. The lease was almost up and we had to decide whether we were going to buy that car or get another one. I decided I wanted to get another car, especially seeing some of the rates...
Recently I purchased a two-year-old Cadillac Escalade with low miles from CarMax. The truck was beautiful and everything I had wanted at a fairly decent price. I might’ve been able to haggle a better deal from one of the local car dealers, but the nice thing that CarMax was I didn’t have to negotiate...
I took my car to a Jiffy Lube in Endicott, New York. I just wanted a oil change which was about due for my vehicle. I had a Chevy Corsica that was in great shape and very low miles on it. I had previously bought this car from an elderly grandmother that had her license...
