Toys are for kids, but toy fairs are not. Strangely enough, the American International Toy Fair, the biggest of its kind in the Western Hemisphere, bars all kids. To get past the guards, even journalists must prove they are at least 18 years old. And so middle-aged men and women are all you see as you go up and down the aisles, here in New York City's Javits Center, a glass-and-steel compound large enough to park airliners in.

The grown-ups sometimes stop to eye actors in fancy dress, but most of them walk right past the regulars—yet another talking robotic doll, yet another LED-powered flashing light. They are mostly trying to decide what to put on shop shelves for Christmas, and often they have particular market segments in mind: Maybe a traditional wooden horse for the toddlers, some sculpturing foam for the primary-school kids, and a hydrogen-powered Fuel Cell Car or a radio-controlled helicopter for the 'tweens.

As a Swedish tech journalist, camping out here at IEEE Spectrum for a few months, I must say I have never before seen so much stuff hawked to so many people who would never want any of it for themselves. Why not bring in the end users—the kids—to serve as judges? Maybe they will end up spurning the game that supposedly improves school performance for the four-meter-tall plush giraffes. I bet most kids would much rather play with the box it comes in anyway.

There are some basic rules: Toys should be fun, and they should not break after five minutes of use. There are also some clear trends. Once upon a time, toys were often miniature versions of things taken from the adult world, but today, they do not necessarily need to represent anything "real." Examples include green gunk that squishes moistly in your hand and wands that spell out words in the air when you wave them rapidly back and forth. Furthermore, it is an advantage if the toy provides a challenge, even if it doesn't make kids smarter.

Some companies were clearly using brain-claims to target newbie parents. One toymaker asserted that a product would efficiently stimulate both the right and the left part of the brain. Who doesn't want to have smart kids? And who wants an unbalanced kid who tips to the left or the right?
Three toys were my favorites:
- Instant snow (photo to right). Take white powder, add water, stir and, voilà , cold snow for your amusement. Evaporation makes it cold; when the powder's dry, you can re-hydrate it again.
- The Mentos/Coke fountain kit. Screw the cap off a bottle of soda, attach the plastic tube loaded with Mentos mints to the neck, pull out the string, and run to a safe distance. Then watch suds shoot 30 feet in the air.
- Astrojax. By putting three balls on a string instead of just one, this yo-yo derivative lets you set up complex, orbiting patterns. Fun even for kids who are not budding physicists.

The present application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No. 254,146, filed May 17, 1972, now abandoned.
The essential components for detergent formulations, used in washing of fabrics consist of a detergent compound, also called the detergent surfactant, and a detergent builder. Additionally, there may be present a number of other constituents, most notably the sodium silicates to provide buffering, anti-redeposition agents, softeners, fluorescent dyes, enzymes, bleaches, chlorine releasing agents and perfumes, etc. The balance of the formulation is generally a filler such as sodium sulfate and water. Thus, standard basic detergent formulations may be described by the following major components and percentages:
______________________________________ PERCENTAGES POWDERED LIQUIDCOMPONENT PRODUCTS PRODUCTS______________________________________surfactant 10 - 20 8 - 12builder 30 - 50 15 - 30sodium silicate 5 - 10 5 - 10sodium sulfate 5 - 45 0 - 2water 10 - 15 40 - 60hydrotrope and/or other organic 0 - 5 0 - 10detergent adjuncts______________________________________
The detergent surfactant which can be an anionic, nonionic, zwitterionic, or ampholytic compound or can be a mixture thereof, is most frequently an anionic such as sodium linear secondary alkyl (C10 -C15) benzene sulfonate or a nonionic such as an adduct of 11 moles of ethylene oxide with 1 mole of a linear C14 -C15 alcohol. In powdered products, nonionic detergent surfactants are generally used at the lower end of the range, e.g., around 10 to 13% while the remainder of the surfactants are used in the 15 to 20% range. In liquid products, all of the surfactant compounds are usually used at relatively lower levels, around 8 to 12%.
Typical builders for detergent formulations are the polyphosphates such as pentasodium tripolyphosphate and tetrapotassium pyrophosphate although considerable effort has been made of late, by those skilled in the art, to find replacements for these compounds because of the alleged effect phosphates have on eutrophication of certain bodies of water. While there are many factors which can be considered determinative of whether or not a compound is suitable as a detergent builder, such as the relative ability to sequester calcium and magnesium ions from solution, the crucial question always is -- will it clean clothes under standard, in-home conditions. All too often compounds which appear to be efficacious in the laboratory fail to perform during in-home tests.
Careful analysis to determine causes for these poor responses has shown that no matter how explicit the use level recommendations for a detergent composition, the housewife frequently under uses the product, sometimes by as much as one-half. By way of example, most detergent compositions call for an optimum concentration of about 0.2 percent, i.e., so many cups per wash load for that type and size of washing machine to give a detergent concentration in the wash water of 0.2 percent. Practically, however, a significant percentage of housewives either do not take the trouble to measure out the required quantity and will under-estimate what is required or, will, in an attempt to save money, use one-half to three-quarters of the recommended level.
Under-use of this caliber does not represent a serious problem with detergent compositions using phosphate compounds since they are such excellent builders that the slight loss in detergency is usually not noticed. However, none of the replacements for phosphates developed to date has the building efficiency of phosphates even under the most ideal conditions. Thus, a compound which is 90 to 95 percent as efficient as phosphate when properly used drops to 85 to 80 percent and even lower efficiency if the formulation is under used. As a result a compound which was considered as a feasible alternative to phosphates becomes unacceptable.
It has now been discovered that the building efficiency of a particular class of non-phosphate builder compounds, heretofore considered as weak sequesterants, can be significantly improved, even at low wash water concentrations if the builder compounds are combined with above normal ratios of detergent surfactants. Specifically, it has been found that when builder compounds selected from the group consisting of certain ether carboxylates, oxirane carboxylates, polyhydroxycarboxylates containing at least two hydroxy groups, sulfocarboxylates, polycarboxylates, acetal carboxylates and keto carboxylates, wherein the builder compound contains two or more carboxyl groups and has a pK of the dissociation constant for the calcium complex between about 3 to about 5 are incorporated into a detergent composition at ratios of surfactant to builder of between about 0.4:1 to 3:1, the resulting detergency efficiency of the composition, especially at low wash water concentrations, approaches or equals a similar composition built with polyphosphates.
The most surprising agent of this invention is that as the level of these surfactants is increased in the composition, within the range of from 0.4:1 to about 3:1, all other factors including the level of builder remaining constant, the detergency efficiency is markedly improved. To the contrary, when these changes in surfactant/builder ratio are repeated using the same surfactants, but with polyphosphates as the builder, the detergency efficiency remains constant, or has a relatively minor increase in efficiency.
Stated again, it would be expected that the results with one builder system, i.e., polyphosphate, would correlate with the results of other builder systems, especially when, as is the case with polyphasphates, it is the standard in the art. Such however, is not the case since there are noticeable improvements in detergency when the level of surfactant is increased within the above defined range in a composition wherein the builder compound is within the presently defined class and there is, in effect, no improvement when the situation is repeated using polyphosphate as the builder.
The present invention comprises a detergent composition for washing fabrics, hard surfaces such as floors and walls, dishes and glassware, plastic and metal surfaces and the like, having excellent detergency efficiency especially at low wash water concentrations, i.e., at or below about 0.15 percent, preferably between about 0.15 to about 0.10 percent, the composition comprising a specific class of detergent builder compounds combined with an anionic, nonionic, zwitterionic or ampholytic detergent or mixture thereof at ratios of surfactant to builder of from at least about 0.4:1 to about 3:1.
The particular builder compounds useful for the present invention are those having a pK of the dissociation complex for the calcium complex of between about 3 and about 5, having at least two carboxyl groups and being selected from the group consisting of certain ether carboxylates, oxirane carboxylates, sulfocarboxylates, polyhydroxycarboxylates containing at least two hydroxy groups, acetal carboxylates and keto carboxylates. As used herein pK is determined by the method of Schubert (Methods of Biochemical Analysis, Volume III, Interscience Publishers, Inc., New York 1956, page 247 et seq) in 0.02 molar sodium chloride solution at 50� C. and pH=10. In the case of an ether, oxirane or acetal carboxylate at least one oxygen atom of the ether, oxirane or acetal is in the alpha position relative to one of the carboxylate groups. In the cases of polyhydroxycarboxylate or keto carboxylate, the hydroxy or keto group may lie in any position, but preferable is in the alpha or beta position relative to at least one of the carboxylate groups. Similarly, with sulfocarboxylates the sulfonate group may be in any position but the alpha, beta, gamma or delta positions are preferred.
The following is an exemplary list of detergent builders which are within the above defined classes and which show a significant enhancement in detergency efficiency when incorporated in detergent composition with surfactant to builder ratios of from at least about 0.4:1 to about 3:1, the alkali metal, such as sodium and potassium, ammonium and substituted ammonium such a morpholinium, alkyl ammonium, mono-, di- and trialkanol ammonium and tetra-alkyl ammonium salts of:
A. Ether Carboxylates
1. (α-methyl) oxydiacetic acid,
2. (α,α'dimethyl) oxydiacetic acid, also known as dilactic acid,
3. (α-methoxy-α-hydroxymethyl) oxydiacetic acid,
4. (α-methoxy) oxydiacetic acid,
5. the exo adduct of furan and maleic acid,
6. carboxymethyloxysuccinic acid,
7. lactoxysuccinic acid,
8. ethane - 1,2 - di(oxyacetic acid),
9. propane - 1,2,3-tri (oxyacetic acid),
10. carboxymethyloxymaleic (and fumaric) acid.
B. Oxirane Carboxylates
1. cis and trans epoxysuccinic acid
C. Polyhydroxycarboxylates containing at least two hydroxy groups
1. dihydroxyfumaric acid, also known as dihydroxymaleic acid,
2. dihydroxytartaric acid,
D. Sulfocarboxylates
1. α - methoxy- β -sulfosuccinic acid,
2. α - hydroxyethoxy- β -sulfosuccinic acid,
3. disulfosuccinic acid,
4. α - hydroxy- β -sulfosuccinic acid.
E. Polycarboxylates
1. aconitic acid, cis and trans,
2. propane-1,1,2,3 tetracarboxylic acid,
3. polyacrylic acids having a molecular weight less than about 5000.
F. Acetal Carboxylates
1. dicarboxyl starch prepared by the hypochlorite oxidation of corn starch at pH 8-9 using three moles of hypochlorite per mole of anhydroglucose unit,
2. dicarboxyl starch derived from enzyme hydrolyzed corn starch containing less than about 100 anhydroglucose units per molecule.
G. Keto Carboxylates
1. Keto disuccinic acid.
Preferred compounds calling within these groups are the above salts of (α-methyl) oxydiacetic acid, dilactic acid, epoxysuccinic acid, carboxymethyloxysuccinic acid and lactoxysuccinic acid. Particularly preferred compounds are those containing at least three carboxylate groups.
The particular surfactants which demonstrate the unexpected improvement in detergency efficiency when combined at above normal levels with one or more of the members of the above defined groups of detergent builders are anionic, nonionix, zwitterionic and ampholytic detergent compounds and mixtures thereof. By above normal levels of surfactant is meant ratios of surfactant to builder in the composition of from about 0.4:1 to about 3:1, preferably from about 0.7:1 to about 2.5:1.
Preferred detergent surfactants are alkali metals (sodium, potassium and lithium) salts of linear secondary alkyl (C10 -C15) benzene sulfonate, the alkali metal salts of C15 -C18 AOS, an anionic surfactant which is the product prepared by the SO3 /air sulfonation of C15 -C18 α-olefins followed by reaction with an alkali metal hydroxide to form the alkali metal salt, Tergitol 15-S-7, a product of Union Carbide which is an adduct of 7 moles of ethylene oxide with 1 mole of a C11 -C15 random linear secondary alcohol derived from C11 -C15 normal paraffins, C14 -C16 HAMT, an ampholytic surfactant which is an alkali metal, preferably sodium, hydroxyalkyl (C14 -C16) N-methyltaurate, and cocodimethylsulfopropylbetaine.
In the case of powdered detergents these ratios correspond to surfactant levels in the range of from about 20 to about 60 weight percent; however, the preferred range, from the standpoint of economics and the relative improvement for each incremental increase in the level of surfactant is from about 25 to about 50 weight percent, with the most preferred range for the surfactant being from about 25 to about 40 weight percent all being based on the weight of the composition.
In the case of liquid detergents, these ratios correlate to between about 15 to 30 weight percent for the surfactant, with the preferred range being between about 17 to about 25 weight percent.
As stated above it was found that an unpredictable and synergistic relationship exists between the particular builder compounds falling within the above defined class and surfactants when the surfactants are incorporated into the detergent compositions at the increased levels of the above defined ratios. The surprising and unpredictable aspect of the discovery is that when it is repeated using polyphosphate as the builder compound, increases in the levels of these surfactants in the composition have no or relatively minor effect on detergency efficiency.
Other materials which may be present in the detergent compositions of the invention are those conventionally found therein. Typical examples include soil suspending agents, hydrotropes, corrosion inhibitors, dyes, perfumes, fillers, abrasives, optical brighteners, enzymes, suds boosters, suds depressants, detergent boosters, germicides, antitarnishing agents, cationic detergents, softeners, bleaches, bleach activators, chlorine releasing agents, buffers and the like. The balance of the detergent compositions is water.
The detergent formulations set forth below were prepared by blending together the recited components and then tested for detergency or cleansing ability in the Terg-O-Tometer Test with the following washing conditions: VCD (vacuum cleaner dust) soil cloth: 120� F.; 180 ppm water (2/1 Ca++/Mg++) 0.1% concentration for examples 1-54 and 0.15% for examples 55-72 of total formulation in washing solution; pH 10. The following abbreviations have been used herein: LAS, an anionic surfactant, is a sodium linear secondary alkyl (C10 -C15) benzene sulfonate; C15 - C18 AOS, an anionic surfactant, is the product prepared by the SO3 /air sulfonation of C15 -C18 α-olefins followed by reaction with sodium hydroxide to form the sodium salts; Neodol 45-11, a nonionic surfactant, is an adduct of 11 moles of ethylene oxide with 1 mole of Neodol 45, a linear C14 -C15 alcohol (produced by Shell Chemical Co.); (C14 -C16) N-methyltaurate; sulfobetaine DCH is a zwitterionic surfactant which is cocodimethylsulfopropylbetaine, RU silicate solids is a sodium silicate having an SiO2 :Na2 O ratio of 2.4:1; STPP is pentasodium tripolyphosphate; and, ODA is oxydiacetate. The detergency of the formulation is expressed in "Detergency Units" (DU's) which is obtained by subtracting the initial reflectance of the soil cloth from the final reflectance of the washed cloth (the average of two runs). The reflectances are measured with a Gardner Automatic Color Difference Meter.

The significance of these examples and the synergistic relationship which they demonstrate when the detergent builder is within the defined ratio range can be seen by a direct comparison using STPP as the control. Looking to examples 13 and 14 it can be seen that there is almost no effect on detergency as a result of increasing the level of surfactant, in this case the anionic LAS, from 18 to 27 weight percent when STPP is the builder. With derivatives of oxydiacetate, a builder compound within the defined class of the present invention, quite to the contrary, increasing the level of surfactant from 18 to 27 weight percent as shown in examples 1-12 correspondingly increases the detergency efficiency from 14.4 to 17.9 DU's, from 13.2 to 17.7, from 11.2 to 15.4, from 20.0 to 22.7, from 20.7 to 22.0 and from 19.5 to 22.6. Similarly in examples 17-20 there is an increase of only 0.4 DU's (insignificant) when STPP is the builder, but an increase of 1.7 DU's when disodium cis-epoxysuccinate is the detergent builder.
In examples 21-24 with sulfobetaine DCH as the detergent surfactant, detergency efficiency is increased only 0.6 DU's, for all intents and purposes -- no improvement when STPP is the builder and the level of surfactant is raised from 18 to 27 weight percent; while when disodium cis-epoxysuccinate is the builder, detergency efficiency increases almost 3 DU's. Examples 25-27 wherein the builder is trisodium carboxymethyloxysuccinate, shows an increase of 2.1 DU's while examples 28-30, wherein the builder is disodium salt of furan/maleic acid adduct shows an increase of better than 4 DU's when the LAS is increased from 18 percent to 36 percent.
Examples 31-36 demonstrate an increase in DU's of 3.7 and 4.2, respectively when LAS is increased from 18 to 27 weight percent and dicarboxyl starch and trisodium methoxy succinate are the detergent builders; whereas there is essentially no increase, when the same conditions are repeated using STPP as the builder compound.
Very significant improvements are also demonstrated in examples 37-44, going from 17.9 to 24.7 DU's with trisodium α-hydroxy-β-sulfosuccinate as the builder; from 14.9 to 23.6 DU's with trisodium α-hydroxy-ethoxy-β-sulfosuccinate; and, 13.4 to 19.4 DU's with disodium dihydroxy maleate.
Similar results are shown in examples 49-56 where increasing the level of C15 -C18 AOS increases detergency efficiency 3.2 DU's when disocium cis-epoxysuccinate is the detergent builder, but only 2.7 DU's when STPP is present. The same relationships, i.e., significant improvements when the detergent builder is disodium cis-epoxysuccinate and the detergent actives are C14 -C16 HAMT and Tergitol 15-S-7 as compared to the relative improvement when STPP is the detergent builder is shown in examples 45-72.
As this invention may be embodied in several forms without departing from the spirit or essential character thereof, the present embodiments are illustrative and not restrictive. The scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than by the description preceding them and all embodiments which fall within the meaning and equivalency of those claims are, therefore, intended to be embraced by these claims.

Kathleen Wynne has become the first openly gay woman to head a Canadian province after being elected head of the Ontario Liberal Party overnight today.
In rising to the party's leadership, Wynne becomes the next prime minister of Ontario and will also be the first woman to hold the post in Canada's most populous province.
"The province has changed, our party has changed," Wynne was quoted as saying by CBC News.
"I do not believe that the people of Ontario... hold that prejudice in their hearts," she said of her sexual orientation.
Wynne, who has three children from a previous marriage, now lives with a woman.
Four other provinces and one territory are already led by women, including Alberta, British Colombia, Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, and Nunavut.
Canada is composed of 10 provinces and three territories.

Severn barrage dispute
The Government has today backed a report which casts serious doubt over plans for a giant barrage across the Severn Estuary.
The Government has today backed a report which casts serious doubt over plans for a giant barrage across the Severn Estuary.
Labour MP Peter Hain, told the Energy and Climate Change Committee that the prospect of a Severn barrage has been 'studied to death' and it's time it all went ahead. He said the project would create 50,000 jobs and provide flood protection to 90,000 properties.
This has been studied to death. We could carry on researching this for decades to come, meanwhile we are not achieving our climate change objectives and missing out on the massive economic benefits.
We have to think big, act big and grasp this opportunity. This is natural power which in the long term will produce incredibly cheap electricity for the UK and has many other benefits."
There's been a dramatic twist tonight in the plan to build a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point on the Somerset coast.
The French energy firm has confirmed it will build two nuclear reactors at the site in Somerset.
Jeremiah Daliel graduated from the University of the West of England and kept a promise to his friends that he would stand up to graduate.

Gina wasn't ALL hype. She had some good wins. And Ronda wins this with an armbar, probably after a sweep, as she might have a little trouble throwing Gina. Plus Carano usually fought at 140 and struggled to make that weight, so if she fights Ronda at her 135 weight, could even be a little weight drained making it an even easier win for Ronda. Rousey will have the big edge in grappling either way though.

Gina was all hype based on what? losing to a doped up Cyborg?
Of Course Rousey wins; she wins by doing the only thing she can really do well.

Banana suit guy has an entourage and they're all douchebags. There is no god.
Send us your Text From Last Night!
yea but i missed the pot and poured the boiling water on my dick. shit hurts. aint nothin easy about that mac
it was like fucking a Mumford & Sons song
We're super invested in me shitting to my full potential
See what happens when I don't get laid? I make poor life decisions, like buying baby ducks.
It was all fun and games until he noticed the hickey that he hadn't given me...
My sheer presence has sent the hipsters running in terror. I expect no problems.
like stop just cause your whole life has been one enormous reject pile does not mean that i have to suffer too
I felt like... 50% confused and 50% like a slow roasted flip flop.
I'm wearing fairy wings and I broke my wizard staff. If this isn't the most happy but sad moment of my life , I don't know what is.
Oh and yeah that does count as public urination.
The guy who's car I hit last night just followed me on Twitter...not sure how to feel about it.
She started giving me head while we were watching the Walking Dead premiere, WORST BJ EVER.
Let's have sex in an apple orchard
Also I've been at work for an hour and I've already been "honey"d "babe"d and "beautiful"d by three separate men. Apparently hungover with yesterdays make up looks good on me.
I've seen you dance and let's just say its a good thing you don't have a small dick
His dick was so bent it was like fucking captain hook's hand for 2 hours
I just realized my new apartment is at the corner of Patrick Henry and Mary Jane.
Give me weed or give me death?
Just cried to my husband about how much I'm going to miss my boyfriend... Maybe marriage is going to work for me after all
That all sounds beautiful. All I have to offer is my shining personality, extensive amounts of space knowledge, and I hear I am pretty not sucky at sucking dick
For our 1st date, he tried to schedule a rock climbing. I suggested, "how about we meet at my place and you can scale Mt. Vagina?"
When we pulled over so you could pee, you made us stand over you and "make a roof"
There is a doctor sitting next to me at lunch talking about the engorged scrotum surgery he did this morning and I am about to lose my professional grown adult facade.
I have bruises from doing the splits on the poles, if that doesn't scream bourbon street regret then I don't know what does
Sorry that I was such a monster last night. It was the drugs, I promise.
at one point, i told him to buy you a pumpkin spice latte and uggs because you're a common white girl and that's how he should get you in bed
Fuck romance. Just shaved my nipples in the shower because I felt like it. That's the life I'm about.
You know, I think I'm going to rock the shit out of this whole mid-twenties thing. Fuck babies and weddings -- I have vodka and young cock.

This book has allowed me to answer questions correctly about diseases or techniques I've never even heard of. Lets face it, the NCLEX is about passing the exam, not teaching you about how to be a nurse; that is what your orientation is for when you get a job. You have the basic knowledge if you've made it through a program, now figure out the questions and you're good to go!
As a bonus, I took the exam on the disc first. Then I read the entire book and took the exam in the back, and scored over 10% higher! These questions are definitely NCLEX style and difficulty. The strategies given are awesome and will teach you how to pass! The only thing that would make it better are drug flash cards.

After my car overheated on the way home from work the yesterday, I pulled into MORRIS AUTO SERVICE, INC, I am just your everyday ordinary person who lives paycheck to paycheck and was scared to death of what all might be wrong...I walked in and was met by the ACTUAL owner, PETE POND. He was very polite and personable, and says please wait a few while your Jeep cools off and I will give it quick look for you...after using his phone, playing with his "guard" dog and nephews, he came to me and says...well you need some work but it can be fixed by TOMORROW! Unfortunately I have had a lot of cars and a lot of things to go wrong with cars, but this time it is way different. I really feel I was treated right! The price is RIGHT ON and the business is appreciated!!! I highly recommend everyone in the Keller and Surrounding Area! Thanks Pete, Stacie
Big Dog Paintless Dent Repair performs excellent body work with a level of quality and professionalism that is unsurpassed and seems to be hard to find these days. This company is committed to performing outstanding service work, regardless of the magnitude of the type of work to be done, and the size of the vehicle, from small motorcycles, to the very large motorhomes or buses, and everything in-between such as cars or trucks. They are very flexible in accommodating your available time slots and even more convenient in that they will also come directly to your home or business to perform the necessary work. And along with the great work they do, they do it at a very reasonable price which makes it very cost effective for the average home owner. They do great work and I would highly recommend them to anyone.
I was very pleased with the service I received from Burnham Auto Repair. I obtained several quotes from other area repair shops and Mr. Burnham definitely had the best price to fit my budget. He was honest, friendly, and completed the job in the timely manner. I will definitely refer him to friends and family.
There are more than 700,000 auto service technicians and mechanics in the U.S. Finding the right one to repair a dent in your car door or fix an engine that won't start can be overwhelming, especially when it's an emergency. Review a few important facts about auto repair professionals and what you can do to get the best possible mechanic working on your vehicle's issues for a fair price.
Looking For Reliability
Unlike home repair services that evaluate a property, meet with homeowners and have time to prepare before their physical work begins, auto repair businesses are often asked to make fixes on the spot. If you come into a garage with a tire issue, the expectation is the mechanic will know how to correct that problem quickly.
That is why reliability is so vital when searching for a trusted auto repair shop. It may take going to several different mechanics before you find one you are truly comfortable with. Pose questions to this professional to find out what approach they will take to repair your car or what alternatives are available. Shopping around also gives you the best opportunity to find the cheapest rate or the fastest service, as some garages may be backed up with other vehicles that need repair first.
A recommended way to locate a trustworthy auto repair professional is to seek out customer reviews. Online sites offer honest opinions from real customers who have used a business. Read through this feedback to learn how a business operates and what you can expect if you were to take your vehicle there. Look for reviews about how quick maintenance was completed and if prices were fair. By learning what other people have said about a garage, you can gain a better idea if it's the right place to go when you have a car problem in need of fixing.
It can be difficult to know which automotive problems are serious enough to require expert assistance. A ripped seat cushion or broken radio don't involve safety and will not warrant enough of a problem that going into a garage is required. However, setbacks with brakes, lights and other parts that are vital to the safety of your car's driver and passengers, as well as others on the road, necessitate quick fixes. Many modern automobiles will notify drivers of an issue, in the form of a signal on the dashboard or a noise within the vehicle.
In the event of an accident, even if your vehicle does not appear to have any damage on the outside, it is generally recommended that you see a trusted auto repair professional. Internal damage may have occurred, or an important part may have been knocked out of place. Fixing these issues before driving much further can prevent further vehicle breakdowns in the future. In the case of a serious accident, a body shop can assess the problems and determine the best course of action for repairs, as well as evaluate how much they will cost.
Beyond that, regular checkups are recommended. Tires must be rotated, fluids needs to be replaced and the engine must be evaluated. After driving 25,000 miles, most auto dealers suggest having the vehicle checked out to ensure everything is running smoothly. Taking the car into the auto repair professional you trust will protect you from further problems down the road.
Not every type of auto repair work needs to be done by a certified mechanic. You can fix some of a vehicle's issues just by paying attention to how the automobile is running and having a basic understanding of auto repair. Look over the ways weather may impact your car and what preventative measures you can take to avoid having to take it into the shop. At the same time, be aware of mechanic scams that can impact your experience.
Preventing Trips To The Professional
Some fixes to your car can be done without paying a specialist. Issues like replacing oil and air filters are relatively simple, with instructions provided in the owner's manual on how to make these changes. The same goes for replacing broken windshield wipers or burnt-out headlights. Such issues should be repaired quickly to guarantee safety, but don't require a visit to a garage. By handling these types of tasks on your own, you'll gain a better understanding for how your car operates and save time and money.
Along with understanding how to fix manageable vehicle issues that may arise, taking preventative measures to avoid future problems is a valuable time saver. Many problem-solving best practices are related to the seasons. Your vehicle will be in different conditions in the winter than in the summer, meaning it requires a different type of preparation.
In the spring and summer, you want to be sure your air conditioner and cooling systems work correctly. Given the high temperatures the vehicle will be exposed to, overheating is a common problem. Look over the system by ensuring there is enough coolant available. If it needs to be refilled, it is best to open the hood and add more to the car before it gets too warm out. Also, clean out fan ducts and other ventilation sources necessary for summertime driving.
For winter driving, features such as the defroster, heater and exhaust system are paramount. Look in your owner's manual for specific directions on how features should be checked and repaired. Many newer cars have a cabin air filter that can be replaced when needed, allowing warm air to continue to flow in. Also, check your tires before winter driving, as they need to be at the proper pressure to perform well on snow and ice.
Avoiding Scams
There is a common worry among many people that auto repair professionals take advantage of the general public. Because so many people are unaware of how to fix the problems in their vehicle, they are nervous of being overcharged by mechanics or worried that the improper work is being done.
While the great majority of professionals in the industry are honest, hard-working people, a few bad apples can ruin everything. You should be extra careful when first visiting a mechanic to guarantee that the price you're charged and maintenance the vehicle receives are fair.
Among the common scams pulled are needless repairs, where a garage charges you for work that isn't necessary. Another popular one is attracting customers through a cheap oil change or tire pressure check. Then, when you are in the shop and your car is being repaired, they give you a long list of other corrections they'd like to make, therefore boosting the total cost of your bill.
The best way to combat these types of problems is getting a written estimate before work is done. That way, you can see how much repairs are expected to cost. If the final bill is higher than the estimate projected, ask to specifically see the work. Make sure information is put in writing as well. If a problem remains, you can have proof that work was not done to your satisfaction.
By working closely with an auto repair professional and doing some of the tune-up work on your own, you will be less likely to fall for these scams. At the same time, you'll be able to drive out with a clean and healthy vehicle, thanks to the repairs made by a trained professional.
