Car Insurance Hidden Benefits
Typically, there is a 30 days grace period for coverage of newly purchased vehicles which gives owners ample time to notify their insurance providers. Aside from this, there are also other benefits not openly discussed to the insured like reimbursement fro transportation because of windshield repair. This and a wide range of other services included in full coverage insurance are available to policy holders to get them back to normalcy as soon as possible.
Other less known benefits that come with auto insurance are;
� Deductible is waived if both cars are insured by the same company
� Deductible may be waived for repaired instead of replaced windshield
� Coverage of personal effects involved in crash
� Coverage of damaged stereo equipment installed by insurance provider recommended company
How many times have we seen this trick being pulled off? The mechanic tells you something in your car must be replaced, like the starter motor or maybe some other obscure car part we haven’t heard of and instead of replacing that perfectly fine, functioning part, the mechanic merely removes it, gives it a good scrubbing and polishing so it will look like a new replaced part, and puts it back in your car with none the wiser. Car parts which are singled out for the spit-shine trick are those which can be easily removed by hand. Batteries are just some of these “prime targets”. Some shops will not even bother to do anything about it. Instead, they will tell you that they have replaced the part with one that was refurbished (thus explaining why it doesn’t look that shiny and new).
Without a doubt, hybrid-technology-based car owners are surely proud and awed to have participated in advancing this new, cutting-edge technology. However, they must also remember that costs of repair and maintenance for these special types of vehicles will be obviously more expensive than repair and maintenance costs for average cars. A transaxle which fails just after the expiration of the warranty may cost the owner $5,000 for the part replacement and an additional $3,000 for the labor. This amount represents approximately 40% of the original base price for the hybrid car.
Opting to lease or rent a car will often times prove to be a better decision that actually buying one. Still, car insurance is something that should never be neglected since whether lease, rent or buy, insurance is normally required by most states. As a matter of fact, banks and dealers which finance the cars, make it a requirement for the drivers to get collision and comprehensive insurance coverage. This is to ensure coverage if in case the vehicle is totally lost. In some states, additional coverage aside from comprehensive and collision are sometimes required in accordance to the law.
More and more people nowadays feel that finding a good auto shop proves to be quite challenging. To look for the perfect mechanic who is not only highly-skilled and certified, but more importantly, who is trustworthy enough to offer his services at the right price is something that car owners are finding to be a definite impossibility. If you do not pay attention, you might find yourself a bit struggling on the financial side for just a minor repair. The series of articles that follow will reveal a few “sneaky” tricks that most mechanics pull off to cheat customers of their hide. Being more aware and conscious of these matters will help hopefully help car owners in getting, less likely, tricked or cheated off.
