Accident Damaged Cars For Sale

Accident Damaged Cars For Sale

Accident Damaged Cars are one of the most common type of salvage vehicles available on the open market. These accident damaged cars are usually vehicles that have been taken over by insurance companies for reasons of not having to pay auto body companies from repairing damage that would cost more than the vehicle itself. The insurance companies would rather pay the owner the value of the vehicle that may be considerably less than having the vehicle repaired.

Once the car has been taken by the insurance company it is usually priced out to junk or salvage dealers who tend to either strip the cars and sell the parts or if the car is not damaged to far resale it to the public. Once the accident damaged car for sale is sold it still has a long way to go before it is able to be driven on the open road. When sold these vehicles are deemed un-drivable by motor vehicle associations. The vehicles need to go through the process of being repaired and brought back up to standards that each country deems necessary.

Now the repairs are done and you feel that the repairs are all that you need. Well, the vehicle is still not ready for the open road. Meaning, you still will not be able to register the vehicle just yet. Now, you need to have the car inspected. You don't want to drive around a car that is unsafe. I know that I would not. The inspection should be done by an authorized inspection station of the state. This inspection station will tell you if the repairs are up to par. If the repairs are not then they will recommend what repairs are still needed and which are not. If no repairs are not needed then they will give you passing paper work that you take with you to a registration station. If their are still problems that have to be taken care of either the inspection station will take care of it or you will need to take it back to the place were you had the initial work done. Once completed go back and have a final inspection done. Now you are ready for registration.

Accident damaged cars for sale are great deals but you really need to know the process when bringing these cars back to life.

A Survey on Cars

A Survey on Cars

I have written a handful of articles about cars. The ones about "muscle cars" or the old generation and new generation are easily my most popular articles. In a quest to find out why this debate seems so popular I have developed a survey, which will be found in the "about the author" section below.

This one survey may not answer all the questions but it will be a good start. It was funny because as I was creating the survey I was trying to figure out which I prefer and I could not do it. I think it is because I like combinations of both. I was watching the Barrett Jackson classic car auction this winter and there was a car I would love to have had. It was an old muscle car, a 1970 Cuda or Challenger I believe, and it had a modern day Dodge Viper power plant.

There are advantages and disadvantages to both generations, at least in my opinion. I love the styling of the older cars, without a doubt. I like the fact that the older cars are bigger and more comfortable in many ways. Take a 1969 Chevy Camaro for example. You compare it to a 2002 Camaro and there is clearly much more room in the 69 model. There is more room in the car and there is a TON more room under the hood. Ever try working on one of those fourth generation f-bodies? They are brutal.

I also like the quality. The older GM's are much higher quality. That is back when GM was at the top of its game and they actually cared about making cars. Now GM's biggest business is their mortgage division, GMAC.

One thing that definitely has the newer cars leading over the older cars is the handling and the braking. I have driven my friend's 67 Barracuda, his father's 70 Roadrunner, 3 of my own 87 turbo Buicks, my 95 Z28, and a 2004 Nissan 350Z. One thing is clear, as time progressed the handling and braking got better. Although the turbo Buick's handling and braking were not very good at all. The 1970 Roadrunner had no power steering or power brakes and it had a 383 for an engine. So, it had plenty of get up and go but I found myself praying it found its way to my destination because I was not confident I could navigate it.

At the other end of the spectrum is the 350Z. I took one of those for a ride. It did not possess that same kind of throw you back in the seat power and torque of the American cars, regardless of generation, but it handled like it was stuck to the road. I took a sharp turn by my house at 70 MPH and it felt like I was doing 20 MPH.

Different people like different things. In my survey I put a place for age because while I think most of the older generation will favor the muscle cars of the 60's and 70's I do not think that is a given. I see a lot of older guys driving the new cars like a 350Z or Honda S2000. I have heard about the Honda S2000 and how impressive it is but I test drove one of those cars when I was looking to get rid of my last Buick Grand National. I was not impressed by the Honda at all. I have no idea what all the hype is about regarding that car.

One thing that I will find very interesting is the responses from Corvette owners. Corvette has been around for decades and has seen many changes. The majority of the time I see a Corvette on the road it is an older guy driving it. I am curious as to what percentage prefer the 50's and 60's Vette's over the newer models of the last 10 years or so.

The new Corvette Z06 is supposed to be extremely impressive with stock horsepower being rated at 505 hp. I personally like the styling of the newer Vette as well, although I could see why the real enthusiasts might not given its European styling.

One thing is clear, there are a wide variety of factors that go into why someone prefers one car or one generation of cars over the next. But, I hope to answer some of the questions with my current survey. If you are interested in this as well could you please take about 5 minutes, if that, and complete the survey below. Depending on the results I get from the survey I may do some follow up questions as well but this will be a good start at answering the age old debate of which is better, the old generation of muscle cars or the new generation of hi-performance cars.

A History of Excalibur Cars

A History of Excalibur Cars

The History of Excalibur Cars

The Excalibur car is a beautiful example of a retro classic vehicle featuring an inspired design based on the 1920's Mercedes Benz SS with a little modern engineering and American flair. The result is a little ostentatious and an unlikely weekday runabout however the vehicle has found itself a niche within the outer limits of luxury limousines. The car has gained a cult following world wide as a wedding car in white or the perfect vessel for anyone who wants to make a splash!

Automobile designer, Brook Steven's was fascinated by the classic era of automotive design. This passion was what fueled his Gatsby-esque creations and eventually lead the design of the what would later become the Excalibur as a concept car for Studebaker in 1963. The concept car was exhibited at several car shows in the US and turned a lot of heads. The fuss about this unique car soon turned into orders from wealthy patrons around the world and so the Excalibur was born. The Excalibur was factory built and underwent several major revisions in its early years which greatly improved performance and reliability especially with regards to the chassis that was required for such a long automobile - eventually acquired from General Motors. Each year the Excalibur factory only made about sixty to eighty vehicles which has added to their rarity and collectibility today. The cars most commonly ordered and produced were the 2-door Roadster however Excalibur also made a 4-door saloon the 'Phaeton' which has become a very successful luxury car, used in films such as 101 Dalmatians and as the flagship of the limo fleet for Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas.

After a run of only 3200 cars the company finally ceased production in 1990, having finally achieved perfection in the Series V Excalibur, the most luxurious yet. The company still runs in a limited capacity supplying parts, manuals and information to the contemporary owners of Excalibur cars.

The good news is that the current owner of the Excalibur Cars factory has not ruled out the possibility of a new line of cars. In fact as recently as 2011 there has been talk of a modernised Excalibur of similar design. These plans are subject to financial backing and for now the company is devoted to creating parts to keep the existing Excalibur's on the road, even going as far as to plan renovation kits to replace what could be considered the dated and worn interior of some of the older models still in circulation.

A Car For Kids - The Wonderful World Of Kids Cars!

A Car For Kids - The Wonderful World Of Kids Cars!

I love cars. Ever since I was a young child I would live and breathe cars. Rather than have comic books as a child I'd read car magazines, when I was a teenager I'd always cut the grass using a ride on lawn mower pretending it was a car, and when I was old enough to drive I would simply drive from car dealer to car dealer looking at what car I wanted next. I love cars! Despite all the cars I have owned though there is one which I loved most, it was my go kart I had as a child, basically just a small car for kids, it only had room for one and would only go as fast as my little legs would pedal, but to this day I have so many memories of it.

I am not alone in loving cars, all the friends I had in school also loved cars and during breaks it's all we would talk about. My go kart was simple but these days there are so many different cars for kids including ones powered by an electric motor. Children have so much choice these days! So lets take a look at the different types available and since there isn't a car for kids of all ages to use we will take a look at which ones apply to which ages.

Very young kids need a car that is simple, not dangerous, and it needs to be small as often they want to use them in the house. There is a car for kids of a young age like this which works very well, they are called push cars. Push cars are not pedaled and they do not have electric motors, they move by moving you feet along the ground pushing and pulling it along. As these cars are small they work well inside the home, very inexpensive, and come in a variety of shapes and sizes.

As children get older they need a car that works outside as they started playing with friends. There is a car for kids that does work great outside, inexpensive, and can bring years of enjoyment. These are pedal cars, very much like the go kart I had as a child. Pedal cars are larger than push cars and work great outdoors, especially on hard surfaces. These cars are driven through a pedal and chain system just like ones found on bicycles so they are easy to operate and enjoyed a lot more by older kids than push cars.

A car for kids which can be a huge amount of fun is an electric kids car. These cars use electric motors to move the vehicle requiring no effort on the child's part. They can be the same size as a pedal car, or in some cases larger allowing 2 children to ride at the same time. They may also come with other features like working horns and headlights, and they can have a maximum speed of anywhere between 5 and 15 mph.

There is a car for kids of all ages, and no matter the style of car or how it is driven it will always bring a smile to a kids face and bring many memories which will stay with them for years to come.

1960s Cars - The Golden Era

1960s Cars - The Golden Era

The 1960s was the era of rebellion, and manufacturers clearly marketed towards this, because the evidence is clear in the design of their cars. 1960s cars needed to have a lot of attractions to appeal to the mid-sixties consumer, and companies such as Pontiac, Oldsmobile, and Ford were the first to give a variety of options on their beginning muscle cars to appeal to consumers, and they ended up selling more than they thought they would. These factors made the 1960's the golden age of muscle and pony cars.

These extra features or options are some modern car luxuries that we take for granted today. Power seats and windows, and air conditioning were many interior options for 1960s cars. Options such as bigger engines, power steering, automatic transmissions, and power brakes could be found on muscle and standard cars in this era.

Pony cars first came around in the 1960s, starting first with the Ford Mustang. Ford produced the Mustang to compete with other muscle cars in 1964-65, before they decided it deserved its own specific class. Chevrolet tried to compete with the Mustang with the belated introduction of the Camaro.

Each manufacturer strived for each type of car in their ranks, to appeal to consumers who wanted one or the other, or both. Ford had the Torino as its muscle, and the Mustang as its pony. Chevrolet had the Camaro as its pony, and the Chevelle as its muscle car. Dodge has the Charger and Challenger respectively as their muscle-to-pony choices. Manufacturers did this to get as many vehicles as they could sold and on the roads.

Another category for muscle cars was created when Plymouth manufactured the Road Runner, which was a muscle-car at a very cheap price. This created the category of "budget muscle" car which appealed to consumers who wanted the muscle-car, but didn't want to break the bank when buying one.

These 1960s cars are now being restored. The golden age of muscle cars is being relived once again because of these owners and their restored cars.

12 Important Safety Features On Our Cars We Don't Think About

12 Important Safety Features On Our Cars We Don't Think About

Well ok, this is kind of a different subject, and probably not the most obvious to some. But I'll guarantee some of us will be a little bit more informed, folks might even feel safer when they drive to work tomorrow. Whether you're the consumer or an automotive sales consultant, this article will list a dozen important safety features found on every car on the road. The consumer can benefit knowing what's on today's automobiles, just in case he/she meets the salesman who is not the most educated on their product knowledge. And lastly, sales consultants can enhance their presentations with these tasty tid-bits and increase potential commissions. So without fail, here are the main safety features found on the exterior of those cars.

#1-crumple zones-A mainstay in today's automobiles, this is the harmonic flow of numerous body panels and brackets that absorb the energy normally associated with a crash. Parts like the hood, bumper and fenders are engineered to crumple like an accordion, therefore taking the brunt in any accidental situations.

#2-Wraparound Headlights-Just like its name implies, it's a one piece headlight design that integrates the low beam, high beam, and turn signals. The headlights wrap around from the front or back of the car to the sides. Not only are the halogen headlights brighter and wider with the use of reflective cuts in the chamber, but folks driving along our blind spots can easily know our lane changing intentions. As a result, causing less accidents.

#3-Breakaway Motor Mounts-These mounts attach the engine to the frame of the car. They're not noticeable, but the life saving impact is huge. In a front impact collision, they're specifically designed to break the engine away from the frame and with the forward motion, will make the engine slide underneath the car at a 45 degree angle. Making it less likely to have an engine sitting in your lap when the crash comes to a halt.

#4-steel belted radials-It's pretty obvious, our tires are very important safety features, it is what keeps the car on the road. Tires are built with steel fibers built right in, how do they help? Well, motorists will have the peace of mind that their tires will hold up in even the most extreme conditions. Those belts will also give these tires a longer lasting life span. Less maintenance in the long run.

#5-ventilated disc brakes-Equally important as the tires are, disc brakes stop the car. Brakes are constructed of a rotor, pads, and calipers for short. The rotors are engineered with internal vanes, to help vent out the heat. And this will help defend against fade and making it less likely to repair the brakes often.

#6-Side Impact Door Beams-Like the crumple zones, this aids in absorbing energy in a side impact collision. They are steel intrusion beams built inside the door for extra reinforcement. Every car and truck have these.

#7-Laminated Windshield-This might be important, it is the very object that keeps bugs out of our teeth, and the rain out of our hair. The windshield is made up of two pieces of tempered glass with a laminate sheet in between. This is a glass sandwich that holds together well when sharp or heavy objects smash into it. There's no shattering or large pieces of glass flying about.

#8-Tempered Safety Glass-The other glass that gives us 360 degrees of protection is also designed with safety in mind. Automotive glass is heat tempered, so that when it breaks, it shatters into a multitude of small cubes. The small cubes won't cut or injure the occupants.

#9-Child Safety Door Locks-As this name indicates, they are small locks in the inside door jams of the rear two doors(4 door sedan or suv only). Lock them up and the little guys in the back seat can't unlock and pull the inside door handles while we are driving.

#10-5 mph bumpers-I would classify this as a safety item for the car itself. In the event a driver lightly hits a lightpole, grocery cart, etc. at 5mph or under, it is unlikely there will be any major structural damage. These days, the government mandated limit to follow is 2.5 mph, most automakers have the 5 mph variety.

#11-Center High Mounted Brake Light-It's actually just a 3rd brake light mounted higher than the two main brake lights, and most autos have them. They're main purpose is to make drivers behind the motorist aware of their braking intentions, normally cars 6-10 back can see this clearly.

#12-Safety Cage Construction-Think of a built in rollcage, it's the main exo-skeletal feature that provides the most protection. In every accidental situation, this protects 360 degrees. We can even literally turn a car or truck upside down on its roof, the cage will support 1.5x it's own weight. There's nothing more important.

Hence, there is our short list of safety features, hopefully you readers have a use for this information. And maybe, this will put more awareness at just how safe our cars really are. No longer will we pinpoint safety as just airbags and alarm systems, our daily drivers have been designed as intricately as the human body. All this for making our commutes, a safer one.

10 Good Reasons For Using Hydrogen For Cars

10 Good Reasons For Using Hydrogen For Cars

With todays fuel prices increasing at a fast rate and global warming a worldwide threat, many people are looking for ways to use less fuel. Hydrogen for cars is one way to reduce your fuel cost with hundreds of dollars every month, increase the engine's horsepower and torque, make your car's engine live longer with less costs. This fuel saver is also known as hydrogen Booster, hydrogen injection or even hydrogen additive technology, no matter what you call it, they all work very similar and is becoming very popular. Hydrogen for cars booster is a system that helps turn water into hydrogen to operate your car. This Hydrogen for cars is good news for many reasons.

Here are 10 reasons why Hydrogen for cars is good
-It Helps save money on fuel and helps your gasoline burn more efficiently and increases your vehicle's gas mileage between 25% and 50%.
-Increases engine performance and decrease emisions at the same time.
-Helps improve efficiency of the fuel combustion, whether it be diesel or gasoline.
-Works for cars, motorcycles, trucks-rigs and even motor-homes whether old or new cars.

-The Hydrogen for cars (HHO gas) changes the combustion cycle and makes it more even. It makes the engine more quiet and calm.
-Hydrogen for cars will make your car a water hybrid and will save you on Fuel Cost.
-Uses little electricity from your car battery to cause water to turn into HHO gas. This is two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen also known as Brown Gas. It burns smoothly and releases a lot of energy. The result of this process is Water.
-A small container filled with water is placed in the car, under the hood. The device is supplied with electricity (12 volts) from the battery and via electrolysis it produces HHO gas. The Hydrogen for cars is supplied to the engine via intake manifold or carb. The gas then helps your gasoline burn more efficiently. That added combustion of the hydrogen gives you more power, and ultimately requires less gasoline to run your engine, resulting, in better gas mileage.
It is very safe because the compustible gas is extracted on demand and burned steadily from the water.
-It is easy to set up and operate. It can be easily produced using a homemade generator with water and will increase your gas mileage.

Did you know that the HHO known as Browns Gas was discovered by Willam A Rhodes in 1961 and patent in 1962. This means that it has been around for 50 decade. So why the big secret? If hydrogen for cars reduces your fuel cost with hundreds of dollars every month, increase the engine's horsepower and torque, make your car's engine live longer with less costs why not let everyone in on the good news. Simply put we have Big oil companies that don't want you to know that Hydrogen fuel is cheaper, safer and more powerful than any other existing fuel today.

5 Reasons Why You Probably Need Cash For Cars

5 Reasons Why You Probably Need Cash For Cars

With the rise in the amount of junk and dead cars, it became necessary to come up with safe methods to dispose of them and many thoughtful companies came with a concept of cash for junk cars where they offer a more than the worthy amount for the old, used, dead cars without much hassle. In return, the sellers get the best deal and reasonable sum to fund their new vehicle or car. There are certain benefits of having this procedure mentioned below about which many people are unaware of.

Cleaning Up Garage Spaces
The companies who deal in such method will help the people to take away their junk or dead vehicles from their garage spaces. This way, they will see a whole new room for the new vehicle and can use the newly emptied space for more storage and more productive purpose. People will only receive a reasonable and worthy sum in return of junk and no longer in use cars.

More Than a Worthy Amount
Most of the companies offer a reasonable amount in exchange for the old and completely dead cars. The owners can earn a handsome amount of money at their doorsteps itself and can easily plan for their expenditures or expenses of the new car.

Easy Towing Process
People often worry about the extensive procedure of exchanging and towing the cars, but many companies have prepared a systematic method where they tow or pick cars from doorstep itself with on the spot money transfer methods. They have the team of professionals who make sure that the entire process is safe and secure for both the parties.

By indulging in cash for junk cars, one can save those surplus expenditures and can easily plan for the futuristic expenses skillfully.

Huge Impact on Environment
Instead of putting the old cars in open and public spaces, this method is effective in preventing the environment from degrading. The cars don't degrade over time and can become harmful if are thrown simply into the public areas.

The above are the few imperative benefits of involving in the process of cash for cars.

5 Main Disadvantages of Hybrid Cars

5 Main Disadvantages of Hybrid Cars

Unlike the conventional cars that make use of a single source of energy, a hybrid car runs on a combination of a battery and a fuel engine. However, these two sources are used alternatively by the car and are not merged with each other. Hybrid cars are gaining popularity because of their economical, social, and environmental benefits. But, these 'green cars' also have some disadvantages which should be kept in mind before considering them for a purchase.

Following are the 5 main drawbacks of a hybrid car:

1) The main shortcoming of a hybrid car that prevents it from gaining popularity with the masses is its high cost. It has also been estimated that the price of hybrid cars will increase over the years, inviting more troubles for the buyers. The fuel savings expected in a hybrid car are also believed to be a bit exaggerated, when compared to the total costs of purchasing and maintaining a hybrid car.

2) Another disadvantage is that the acceleration of most hybrid cars is not exhilarating. That is, they tend to accelerate at a slower speed when compared to the conventional gas-powered cars. To put in simple words, you would not be able to achieve the anticipated speed within the same time period in a hybrid car, than you would in cars that are powered only by gasoline. This feature of a hybrid car will certainly make you feel unsafe while driving as you would not be able to keep pace with the other normal cars on the road.

3) The third disadvantage of a hybrid car is the high cost of its batteries. Although the battery pack comes with an extended warranty, it needs to be replaced on completing 80,000 miles. Depending on the model of your car, this battery pack may cost you anything between $5,000 and $8,000. Therefore, if you are a frequent traveler, a hybrid car is definitely not a good choice for you.

4) In order to facilitate high speeds, hybrid cars are made using light-weight body materials and are kept small in size. Owing to their small size and light weight, they become more vulnerable to serious damage when involved in any accident, small or big.

5) As these cars are new and expensive, their stocks are limited and are not available in all parts of the country. Also, there are not many skilled hybrid car repair mechanics. So, you can imagine the kind of troubles you will have to face if you buy an expensive hybrid car from a place far away from your residence, and then, when required, get it repaired from a local unskilled repair mechanic!

Hybrid cars do have the above mentioned disadvantages, but that does not mean they are not worth buying at all. Just like any other new technology, hybrid cars also have their pros and cons. They are environment friendly and help in saving a lot of fuel. So, if you can really afford to buy and maintain a hybrid car, you should definitely go for it.

4 Benefits of Cars Running on Water

4 Benefits of Cars Running on Water

Maintaining a car can be expensive. One of the largest expenses motorists have to content with is their gas bills. This expense has grown considerably as the price of oil increases to all-time highs. More car owners are exploring ways to save money on gas. One of the most popular methods of saving gas is by installing a hydrogen generator in your car. This method is so popular, that there are many cars running on water in the US.

Given the pervasive influence of hydrogen generators in the automotive community, let's examine 4 benefits of installing a hydrogen generator in your vehicle.

Benefit No. 1 Cheap Installation

Hydrogen generators can be affordable, especially if you build one and install it yourself. There are several step-by-step guides available on the internet that will show you how to build and install a hydrogen generator in your vehicle. These guides are cheap, with some of the most expensive guides costing under $100. The raw materials required for the hydrogen generator cost about $150.

Alternatively, you could hire a professional to install the hydrogen generator for you. There are several companies that offer this service, but the cost of professional installation can run into the thousands.

Benefit No. 2 Works on Existing Vehicles

Hydrogen generators can be installed on most vehicles. There's no need to purchase a new 'hydrogen generator compatible' vehicle in order to perform the conversion. Hydrogen generators have a high compatibility rate with most modern, petrol-operated cars.

Installing a hydrogen generator will reduce your dependency on gas without having to buy an entirely new hybrid car.

Benefit No. 3 Increased Mileage

One of the most compelling benefits of a hydrogen generator is its ability to increase your vehicle's mileage. A hydrogen generator turns water into a gaseous state and pumps it into your engine during petrol combustion. This reduces the amount of petrol used while increasing the mileage your vehicle receives with the petrol used.

There are a large number of factors that come into play when determining the amount of petrol you can save with a hydrogen generator. However, some consumers have claimed that their vehicle mileage has increased by up to 50% after installing a hydrogen generator.

Benefit No. 4 Environmentally Friendly

Hydrogen generators, in their entirety, are eco-friendly. Producing hydrogen generators is a simple affair that requires relatively common materials and resources. This is in stark contrast to hydrogen fuel cells that are used in hydrogen cars. Hydrogen fuel cells currently use rare materials, such as platinum, as a catalyst.

Hydrogen generators also use water to increase the efficiency of petrol combustion. Water 'burns' cleanly, and by increasing combustion efficiency, hydrogen generators reduce the amount of petrol used, thus conserving this expensive resource.

In the US, there are many cars running on water. With the price of oil rising to astronomical levels, there has never been a better time to cut down on your gas bills. The next time you decide to purchase a car powered by hydrogen fuel cells or electricity, stop to consider the amazing benefits a hydrogen generator can give you.

3 Things You Should Know About Used Cars - Repos Auctions

3 Things You Should Know About Used Cars - Repos Auctions

Everyday, used cars repos auctions are held all over US. This is because there is a constant influx of vehicles repossessed by banks and government agencies everyday. Nobody knows the actual number but it is estimated that close to one hundred vehicles are repossessed everyday across the country. These automobiles are then auctioned off in used cars repos auctions at prices anywhere between 90 to as low as 10% of their market value. In order to truly benefit from this source of buying cars at low cost, there are a few things to note with regards to used cars repos auctions.

How Do These Auctions Work?

Typically these auctions are held in the same locations within a period of time and may move from place to place within the states. The mandate of the auctioneers is to sell off the cars within the shortest time at the highest price due to the costs involve in storing and maintaining the vehicles. Most of the time, not only cars are auctioned, but other properties like real estates as well.

Minimum age to participate is 18 and the bidder has to have a driving license to bid on automobiles.

Some of these auctions are open only to car dealers but majority of them are open to the public for bidding.

Most auctions offer a preview lasting about 2 days to allow bidders to take a look at the automobiles and check their conditions. Usually you won't be allowed to drive them out but may start the cars for inspection purpose.

What To Expect In These Auctions?

Be prepared for competition from car dealers in these used cars repos auctions. Cars that are popular and in good condition will naturally draw more attention and hence higher bids. Try to set a budget for yourself on a particular car and that should prevent you from over bidding. The older cars that are in less-than-perfect condition may not be so popular and may prove to be good deals you can go for. A little refurbishing may just restore these vehicles to their original condition.

You will be required to pay on the spot upon successful bidding. Therefore, you should get your pre-approved used car loan or credit union ready before the auction just in case. Credit cards, money orders, certified checks, and traveler's checks are usually accepted while personal checks may not be.

How To Locate These Used Cars Repos Auctions?

$200 Per Hour Opening Cars -- How To Become A Lockout Specialist

$200 Per Hour Opening Cars -- How To Become A Lockout Specialist

If you haven't yet locked your keys inside your car, you will someday. The odds are heavily against you, because this is one of the most common slip-ups to haunt the civilized world. Personally I've done it no less than ten times myself over a period of, say, twenty years...and I'm a Locksmith!

Now, how can you turn this into a benefit?

If you happen to be looking for a high profit, super interesting career you could do a lot worse than to consider becoming a Lockout Specialist. I know whereof I speak, because as a working Locksmith since 1983 I've opened (literally) countless vehicles and I've had many instances where I made upwards of $200 per hour over several hours at a time. I can recall one incredible day in which I serviced twenty-three lockouts, at an average price of $40 and an average labor time of 10 minutes per vehicle -- for most of a day. This was near Christmas in 1995, in Salt Lake City, Utah. I was self-employed and doing very well as a full service Locksmith, but the bulk of my business during Holidays has always been in the form of lockouts.

It is important to make a distinction here, to avoid confusion. I am not proposing that you will make that kind of money day after day. There will be average days, and there will be busy days. But if you set up a business, in a fairly large city or base yourself at least near one, you stand to make unconscionably easy money once you get settled in and your business becomes visible. Opening locked cars is as easy a profession as ever has been conceived. It takes some skill, of course, and you will have to do some studying before you break out the lockout tools and advertise yourself -- but compared to many other professions it just can't be beat for simplicity. You will also have to do some homework with respect to legality. Some states require Lockout Specialists to be registered Locksmiths, but most do not! This is something you have to determine before you take another step.

If you find that you are living in a jurisdiction that requires registering, it is not that difficult to do. You will have to gain a wider knowledge of Locksmithing, but this certainly is not a detriment as it will likely lead to a fantastic career that goes well beyond opening locked mini-vans. If on the other hand you are fortunate enough to be living in an area in which Lockout Specialists can be licensed without having to be full-fledged Locksmiths, the path to a cushy career sprawls before you.

I started my business in Salt Lake City when I was 37 years of age. Up until then I had never so much as dreamt of being involved with locks, car openings or keys. I was in dire straights, having just lost most everything I owned through a business failure that occurred as collateral damage from a divorce. Someone suggested I go door to door and sell "door viewers" -- those little peepholes people put in their front doors. This actually worked well, but only because at that time I had no bills (everything got disposed of). After a while I was being asked to install locks. I started doing that and was buying deadbolts at a local Locksmith shop one day when the guy behind the counter, who by then had gotten to know me, suggested I start a Locksmith business. I thought he was kidding me, seriously. But he told me that Locksmiths make incredible profit from most everything they do, especially doing lockouts. He sold me a few tools -- which in Utah is perfectly legal (or was at that time at least) -- and also a small book on opening cars.

That was a turning point in my life. I went on, within six months, to taking on small Locksmith jobs and teaching myself. I put a small ad in the Yellow Pages, hoping against hope I wouldn't go bust in the first few months because those ads can't be canceled, and I soon realized there was enough business out there that I was opening cars almost every day. I got better at it the more I did it (there were nightmare jobs in which it took me hours to open a single car, but that was in the very early days). Eventually the calls started coming in quite regularly and I started making good money, doing something I enjoyed. The feeling of helping others who really need your specialized service is a great one, and knowing you are working for yourself and no one else is beyond description.

I had to do all this without a road map. There was nothing available to beginners in those days, not like there is today. The explosion of information that is the Internet has made all the difference. I wish back in 1983 I'd had the advantages available to career seekers today. There are many self-help manuals and DVD courses now that can teach you to set up a Lockout Specialist business, or a full-fledged Locksmith business. The prices are surprisingly affordable, and the information in at least some of them is staggering. In many cases, you can actually earn certification by purchasing one of these courses.

It is worth considering if you like the idea of working for ten minutes, assisting a motorist in need, and putting up to $50 or $60 dollars in your pocket for your trouble.
