Treating Transmission Troubles

No car owner wants to hear that the problem the car is having is in the transmission. Transmissions are one of the most expensive parts that a car owner might have to replace – if the car is old enough, it sometimes makes more sense to replace the car entirely than to replace the transmission. But I’ve found that there are ways to save when you need transmission work! Not only are there ways to save money on a new or rebuilt transmission, there are also ways to locate transmission problems and have them fixed before they become too serious. This blog is designed to help you take better care of your transmission, and avoid paying too much for transmission repairs.

Gift Ideas In Auto Supplies

Blog

You don't need to be a car enthusiast to appreciate auto supplies for your vehicle. You spend a lot of time in your vehicle, so you should make it as comfortable as possible. Here are some suggestions for auto related gifts:

  • Portable dvd players. You can buy dual screen players that attach to front seat backs and are powered by your vehicle's power outlet. A dvd player in the vehicle means complacent kids, and a dual screen option minimizes fighting. This can make being stuck in rraffic almost bearable.
  • Cell phone dash mounts. Cell phone mounts have progressed from windshield mounts that dropped your cell phone in your lap when temperatures changed, or left a round imprint on the windshield as an advertisement for thieves. Dash mounts are sturdy and have multiple pivot points so you can turn a smartphone to widescreen mode.
  • Bluetooth headsets and car radios. Since the banning of hand held cell phones was initiated, bluetooth headsets and car radios have become an essential car accessory for busy multi-tasking drivers.
  • Windshield covers. These can be purchased in two varieties. Inside windshield covers simply unfold to block sunlight. They can keep you from melting on contact whwn entering your vehicle on a hot summer day. Outside windshield covers will prevent ice from forming and acculating on your windshield. Imagine     yourself simply lifting the cover from your windshield instead of scraping ice on a cold and blustery day. 
  • Remote car starters. Instead of sitting in a cold vehicle waiting for the engine to warm, you can start it from the comfort of your living room and enjoy the luxury of a pre-warmed vehicle.
  • Seat covers and floor mats. Covers and mats are no longer just for protection. You can show your pride in your local sports team or your love of a cartoon character through your choice of custom printed seat covers and floor mats.
  • Car emergency kits. While they are not flashy or glamorous, these kits can hekp you in a breakdown. Most kits have jumper cables, road flares and various other useful items for road emergencies.
  • Car cleaning and detailing kits. These kits are popular inexpensive gifts that will be appreciated when a warm winter day allows a nice cleaning of road salt and the application of a protective coat of polish.
  • Car vacuum. This is another popular gift idea and an essential item  for families with kids.

Your local auto supply store has everything listed and many more items that you probably never knew existed. Give then a try .
