The 25 Signs It's Time to Switch Auto Insurance Companies
Your relationship with your auto insurance company is based on trust. You hand them money and they hand you a promise written on a piece of paper. For that to work, you need to have the utmost confidence in your agent and your company. When you feel like they genuinely care about you and show you respect, it’s possible to develop a loyalty to a company that lasts for years to come. But all too often, this doesn’t happen and we ignore the obvious signs to move on to greener pastures. It’s time to start shopping for a new auto insurance company if . . .
- Every
time you press the extension for
the claims department, all you get
is the dial tone.
- When
you open your bill, under the total
it just says “One arm. One
leg.”
- When
you gave the cop your insurance
information, he laughed.
- You
tried to call your agent but the
number was disconnected.
- Your
claims check was postdated . . .
for next year.
- Their
motto is “We don’t cover
that.”

Auto Insurance Tips for 2009.
There's is so
much usefull information in there
it's crazy. Make sure you check it
out. Just type in whatever you're
looking for in there.
Following
some vehicle insurance tips will surely
help you in deciding what is best
for you, from a financial point of
view. The new drivers are especially
concerned with avoiding investing
too much in their auto insurance.
As it is natural and totally explicable,
the majority of the learner drivers
are looking for the cheapest care
insurance in order to avoid investing
too much in something that is not
very stable and sure.
Here
are some Auto Insurance
tips that will help you avoid spending
a great amount of money on motor insurance.
First
of all, choose to pay a relatively
high excess in case you are forced
to pay for an insurance claim. After
you have successfully passed the driving
test, you should get some advice in
order to establish whether it is worthwhile
to complete a program that can get
discounts for your vehicle insurance.
Second
of all, think of some non-traditional
means of buying auto insurance, such
as, for instance, the online purchasing
of auto insurances because you might
be surprised by the discounts that
some of the major automobile insurance
companies offer when buying auto insurance
by using the internet.
Another
tip when wanting to get a cheaper
auto insurance is to provide your
car with an approved immobilizer because,
in most cases, the auto insurance
is much cheaper when the car is endowed
with such a system. Another trick
that you can use when dealing with
a auto insurance company is to tell
them the approximate number of miles
that you drive each year. But be careful
not to lie them about this fact because
a highly used vehicle shows erosion.
The
students seem to be privileged when
it comes to paying their auto insurance.
There are specialized firms that work
to the benefit of the students in
order to obtain for them cheap vehicle
insurance. But since the price of
the auto insurance depends a lot on
the type of engine that your car has,
it is very important, if you wish
to lower the cost of your auto insurance
to drive a automobile that is cheap
and that has a small engine. It is
equally important not to modify or
to customize your ride before you
make the auto insurance because any
improvements might increase the cost
of the insurance.
Security
is another important aspect of the
auto insurance in the sense that the
car owners have to park their cars
in a locked place or garage, away
from the street if possible because
the auto insurance might not be able
to help them recuperate the value
of the vehicle.

| My
new "old" run-around Toyota Pickup.
Found
this one at the Copart Auto Insurance Auction.
Picked it up for $1200. This little pickup
just needs some TLC. ;) Once I got it home
I wanted to start it up to see if it runs.
After a dozen of cranks it was clear something
was wrong, either the fiel lines are clogged
or the electrical is messed up. Took me
about 10 minutes to start from the begining
and think "simple", "Maybe
it is just out of gas...," I look at
the gage and ofcource, the needle is at
E. Well, what are the chances that they
ran the thing out of gas? Pretty slim but
whatever, I'll just rule it out. Went and
got some gas, filled the tank up with 2
gallons and it took about 5 cranks and it
started right up. Runs like the clock, quiet
and strong. Did I mention that it's got
a 3L v6? Well it does. I'll keep updating
as I "restore" it.

BMW 750 Up, Auto Insurance Product
This
once was someone's baby, now it's been thrown
to the curb by it's owner and the auto insurance
company is going to give it up for adoption.
This is a $70,000 heep of luxury and it's
probably going to sell for about a quarter
of that.
My
best guess is, this car is going to become
parts. From the looks on these pictures,
even if restored it will never be the same.
I
wonder how the auto insurance companies
ever profit when so much money is lost in
the auction sale of this kind of cars. The
insurance premiums must be way up there
for collision coverage of this kind of high-end
automobiles.
If
you really want to buy this one you'll need
to hurry up, it is selling in China Grove,
NC on September 26th at the Copart, the
Auto Insurance Auction.

Ever
Look For An Auto Repair Manual Online?
Well
I have but have not had much luck. Everyone
seems to be hiding this information. I gave
up on it years ago and just stick to buying
a Chilton or something. Well today I found
out that AutoZone has an extensive auto
repair guide on their web site. Here is
the link: http://www.autozone.com/
They
have a vehicle specification section where
you can find out more information about
your car, find out how your drivetrain works,
what you have under the hood of your car
and under the dash. If you're looking to
find where a specific component is located
on your car they have a component locations
section.
 Here
is the most complete and comprehensive automotive
diagnostic and repair data on the internet.
AutoZone provides a membership only service
where you have access to this data, it is
called ALLDATA.
The access to this data cost $24.95 per
year. I don't know any other service or
web site on the internet that provides this
complete source for vehicle repair. Click

Out
With The Old, In With The New.
Last
October my shop, The Rudd Shop, closed it's
doors. I had to close it up and get a job.
The business was started using personal
credit cards and it racked up a lot of debt.
I had no choice but to file bankruptcy.
Last
week I started a new blog where I keep a
diary of going through bankruptcy. The story
of The Rudd Shop, how I got started, how
the business was going and what happened
that I had to close it's doors. The details
about filing bankruptcy and step by step
what I had to go through to file. Anyone
that is considering filing bankruptcy will
find this blog informative.

Finaly Pictures Of My Rebuilt
'98 Toyota T100
 I
finished the work on this truck last October
and have been driving it around during winter.
It is a fun little truck. I've been waiting
for some sunny weather so I can take some
pictures of it but so far, this is the sunniest
day I could get. Go here
to look at all the pictures.
It
all started when I bought this truck at
the Auto Insurance Auction while looking
for a good truck for my shop. This was the
last item at the auction. I had to wait
through about 300 cars to get to bid on
this one. I thought it would go for a lot
more but I won it for $2000. A nice 1998
Toyota T100. It has a V6 engine with manual
5-speed transmission and it is a four-wheel-drive.
It was white when I got it but I wanted
to make it real flashy so it would stand
out in the crowd to advertise my body shop.
In
August of last year I had to shut down my
body shop for health reasons and by that
time the truck was already all prepped for
repaint. I decided to just paint it all
black, which was what I always wanted -
an all-black truck. But I did have a little
bit of candy left over from the orange F100
job so I made a subtle stripe in the sides
of the truck.
As
soon as the sun decides to come out from
behind the clouds I will take some more
pictures where you can see the stripe. For
now go and take a look at all the build
photos. |

| Auto Insurance Auction Bid Prices
Posted a list of actual Auto Insurance Auction winning bids for your reference
on how much these things sell for at auctions.
The prices usually vary and the cars also
vary from really smashed to easy fix so
use these prices as a ball park and go from
there. With the prices that these cars sell
for I don't know how the auto insurance
companies make any profit.
When
looking at a car at the Auto Insurance Auction, look out for shock tower damage
and any other "frame" damage because
this kinds of repairs will cost you a pretty
penny. Most likely you will need to hire
a frame machine to straighten it. Even for
one shock tower you can plan on spending
about $300.
Go
here for the price
list.
I
wrote an ebook about making money repairing
wrecked cars which contains a lot of detail
about picking out a car at the auction and
a step by step instructions on getting it
fixed and sold for profit. This ebook is
free so grab it while it's here.
