Paul is a nice kid, he gets decent grades and he’s now a Junior in High School, he works at Boston Market and has graduated from his skateboard to his brother’s hand-me-down Honda Car from College. He likes having his own wheels and brags about initiating his manhood in the back seat, although somehow I doubt it by his teenage demeanor, but he has a somewhat convincing story. Anyway, he was upset the other day when he turned up the volume on the car radio and it crackled, and he blew out a speaker, which really looked like it was made in the late 70s.

Indeed, I explained that he could buy a stereo and install it himself to save money, as the average car stereo installment is well over two-hours of work and at a labor rate of $60 plus per hour, some charge much more. Indeed, it is worthy of consideration put it in yourself, but be forewarned aftermarket auto electronic accessory installers do earn their money and they are worth every dime. Here are the tips I gave to Paul for self installation;

Being prepared when you embark on your RV trip is the key to having a great time. You’ll want to first create a supplies checklist that will allow you to pack and shop early. After that you will want to start creating an itinerary for yourself.

Now there are some RV travelers that will argue that having the option to make last minute stops along the way is one of the very reasons they pick RVing as a way to travel. These last minute stops no doubt add fun and excitement along the way. This is all too true but you can still do those stops while getting back on course with your original outline, your itinerary, and not miss out on any fun at all. At the same time your outline can help to keep you from getting too far off track and getting lost or losing valuable time.

Now you can save your car and save the environment at the same time! With a process known as “paintless” dent repair (PDR), skilled technicians remove dents from a vehicle without the use of body fillers or painting. More than ever, consumers, as well as auto insurance companies, are realizing the benefits of this revolutionary process.

Paintless Dent Repair preserves the vehicle’s value, saves money by eliminating the cost of paint supplies, and saves the environment by reducing the amount of harmful vapors and toxic paint waste which are introduced into the environment.
