BENEFITS OF WINDOW TINTING

There are many good reasons why you should   tint your car windows, from preserving your health and protecting your privacy as well as preserving your investment in your car. Here, Motortech Auto Repair give you a List with some of the top reasons that people should tint their cars.

1).Improve Comfort:    Avoid overheating; Today’s window film is extremely efficient at controlling the effects of solar energy. Films can provide up to 78% heat reduction as compared to untreated glass.  Your car interior can be 78% cooler during hot summers.

2. Protection: Shattering glass is a hazard when accidents happen, or when vandalism or environmental effects cause breakage. One of the biggest benefits of window tinting is that in the event of a collision where the windows are shattered, the window film prevents the shattered glass fragments from becoming high speed, razor sharp projectiles that can do  significant damage.  The protection offered by window films can provide a functional “safety net” that will make you feel secure.

3.  Protect Your Skin:      Excessive sun exposure can cause deterioration of the skin which leads to premature aging. It can also cause dry skin which involves itchiness and rashes; the window film also screens out up to 99% of the sun’s invisible ultraviolet radiation, which is the principle cause of skin cancer and premature skin aging. With a proper tint job at Motortech Auto Repair you can block about 99% of UV light.

4. Safe Driving Reducing Glare:  There is no need to put up with annoying glare. Tinting reduces dangerous glare from direct sun, reflections from water and other headlights, helping you drive safely.

5.  Increase Energy Efficiency = Savings:     Reducing interior heat can reduce the demand for AC use.  This can have a significant impact on gas mileage and a savings at the pump.  Don’t live with temperature imbalances caused by areas of extreme sun, which can limit use of interior space. Window film can remedy this problem and reduce air condition costs.

6. Enhance your privacy :     Tinting protects your privacy and contents within a car. What a burglar can’t see, he won’t steal. Window tint ensures that privacy during the day and it doesn’t block your view of the world!

7.  Prevent cracking and fading :  Harmful UV rays and heat cause car upholstery to crack and fade. Car tint is sunscreen for your car. Window film blocks 99% of UV rays, providing a sunscreen while reducing solar heat. Minimizing these causes of fading protects your valuable furnishings.

8.  Enhance Appearance:   A smart, uniform look improves the appearance of the exterior of your automobile. Several window film products can create this gratifying look.

9. Easy Maintenance :    Nothing special other than soapy water is needed to clean the window film.

10. Fast and Easy :   Professional installation at motortech automotive is fast and non-intrusive. There are minimal disruption to occupant’s activities or work schedules.

Okeoma Okogbue asked:


Driving in the night is usually fraught with danger and risks. It has also been statistically

proven that the injuries incurred in night time accidents are usually more severe in nature.

There exist several factors and numerous variables over which we have no control in

night time driving but there are certain things that we can control.

Among the elements that we cannot control are signs that are no longer reflective, signs

that have been partially obscured by under or over growth of vegetation. Then there are

natural phenomenon like fog and mist. All these factors contribute a great deal to night

time fatalities.

The problem with night time driving is that at night our field of vision is greatly restricted

by the lack of light. So if we can have proper light and sufficient visibility we can greatly

increase our field of vision.

Not only should the light system of our car but that of the other cars work properly as

well. The night time is notorious for increasing the impact of little inconveniences like

dim and clouded headlights.

Headlights are the on thing that we have control over. It is proven that Dimly lit or

clouded headlights severely limit our awareness and our vision. The darkness of the night

also reduces our ability to react or even to see what lies in front of us.

According to reliable sources such as the National Institute for Traffic and Highway

Safety, the biggest reason for severe night time accidents is dim, cloudy and improperly

lit headlights.

If your car’s headlight is ineffective or has a reduced light output, your night time driving

safety is fraught with risk. Out every group of five people at least three of them driving at

night are taking unnecessary risks by driving around with ineffective headlights on their

cars. This is an unnecessary risk as it is easy to replace or fix headlights.

In the past the only option open to car owners was either to replace a bad bulb or to

replace the entire lens.

Usually most dim headlights are not caused by bad bulbs but are actually due to cloudy

and worn headlight lenses, the business of replacement or repair became very expensive

and cost prohibitive.

Now car owners have a better option. Car owners today can avail of a cost effective

alternative, a headlight restoration and cleaning kit.

This headlight restoration and cleaning kit has made it very easy so that headlights that

had once been discarded are now restored to mint new condition again. The net result has

been that driving safety increased manifold and so has peace of mind.

Many police and government agencies have reported a decrease in night time casualties

with the use of this headlight restoration and cleaning kit and most even use it on their

own vehicles.

Samantha McCartney asked:


The economy has really changed in the past few months. We have already seen a huge decrease in truck sales, where as they were selling at a reasonable rate. Since so many people are trying to eliminate monthly bills and save money buying a new car is not always an option. If you want a new vehicle because your current vehicle doesn’t look so great, you should consider getting auto body repair instead. Auto body repair is really the way to go in our continually changing economy.

First of all you should know that there are a number of auto body repairs that can be completed on your vehicle. Some repairs include bumper repair, auto body repair, windshield repair, wheel rim repair, paintless dent removal, paint touch up, headlight restoration and much more. Auto reconditioning specialists will repair the existing materials on your vehicles auto body. They have many processes that are highly effective and come out look as good as new in most cases. The repairs are usually completed in two to six hours, which means you will be back in your vehicle faster. Most auto body shops will work with your insurance to help cover some of the costs involved. However, many people find that they can find such good deals on auto body repairs that they can afford to just pay out of their own wallet.

Buying a new car is a big deal. When you buy a new car you will be paying quite a bit for it. Not only will you be putting money down but you will be adding another bill to your current monthly payments. The average car payment among those already driving a new car is about $384.00. That is a lot of money to be adding to your monthly bills. To add to this, you are not only paying that one, two or even just ten times. You will be committing yourself to that payment for at least 4 years, which means you will make 48 payments of 384.00, and that is the average, it could be more. Our economy has changed significantly in just the past few months, people are losing their jobs, major companies are going under and prices just keep going up. I would surely think twice before deciding to buy a new car at this time.

Sometimes you will find that if you need extensive auto body repairs they can be a little expensive. However most vehicles only need minor auto body repair to look great again. Getting minor auto body repairs is affordable with the average being just around $800.00. You may think that is a lot, but in reality it is only 2 payments on the average new car, rather than 48! That can save you a lot of money and also a lot of stress if our economy were to get any worse.

So, consider getting your vehicles auto body repairs before deciding to buy a new car in this crazy economy we are in right now!

Barney Garcia asked:


A scooter with the safety feature of a headlight will require some amount of maintenance so you always have a fresh bright headlight. A headlight is generally sealed tight, so little or no water is going to enter the headlight fixture. Many scooters are also available with a scoop over the headlight to prevent additional moisture from reaching the interior of the headlight.

If you do find that your headlight is getting a bit dim, or that you have moisture in the headlight fixture you should replace it. Sometimes a large jolt can break the headlight requiring replacement as well. Every scooter varies in headlight replacement needs, but the headlight is very similar to that of a car.

In order to make your scooter road worthy make sure that its turn signals breaks, headlamps, and chains are intact. This will ensure safety for both the rider as well as the vehicle. Other safety accessories that are a must with a scooter are helmets; drive belts, alarms and locks.

Since the markets have rolled out so many different types of scooters, which vary in shapes, sizes as well as functionality therefore their accessories also differ from model to model.

The headlight that requires a bulb replacement will use a very small bulb, just a size larger than that of a bulb found on a string of lights. Removing the headlight can be accomplished using a screwdriver or a wrench. Some scooters are available with easy to remove headlights that require no tools at all but the movement of a few slip connections to remove the headlight. Simply remove the old bulb, insert the new bulb, and refasten the headlight to the scooter.

Headlights that are one piece, with no interior bulb are easy to replace as well. The one-piece headlight generally is going to require a hex screwdriver or a regular screwdriver to remove the headlight. You can purchase replacement headlights through medical supply houses, through scooter retailers and online headlight sources. Knowing the make and model of your scooter will allow for easy replacement of your scooter headlight.

The once piece headlight is taken out by removing two or four screws that hold it in place. Once you have removed the screws, you pull out the headlight, and unplug the headlight from the scooter. The new headlight will plug into the electrical outlet, and then you place the headlight back into the socket. You should be sure to replace all of the screws you have taken out so your headlight is secure and in place once again.

Remember, every scooter is different, and the type of headlight your scooter is equipped with will be detailed in the manual provided with your scooter.

car detailing tips
Carazoo.com asked:


As more and more cars have crowded the Indian car industry, the number of car accidents has increased on roads.

With increasing number of car accidents, it has become vital to follow safety measures and safe driving tips. Everyone behind the wheels whether he is a young man, a teenager or an adult needs to learn safe driving techniques so that the incidences of accident as well as the number of fatalities caused due to auto collision is reduced.

Here is a list of the top 10 accident prevention or car safety tips that will help you reach your destination safely:



Drive slowly with a steady speed. Always use the turn signals and don’t ever follow the cars cutting diagonally.

Use safety belts in your car. Make sure that you and your children are safely buckled with the safety belts. In some new cars, you’ll also find various buckles to tie at different body parts like lap belts, shoulder belts and the usual safety belts.

Ensure that safety airbags are installed in the car. Remember that front airbags are mainly to prevent the driver and front seta passenger from collision hazards. Passenger side airbags are designed with the concept of preventing the adults with common human height that fall between 5.4 inch and 6.00 inch. If the children or people with shorter heights are seated there, the airbags will fail to protect them. If the passenger side airbags are organized to fit a suitable position, only then these airbags can benefit them.

Use of mobile phones while driving is strictly ‘No’ according to traffic rules. If in case there is an emergency call, it is recommended to stop the car at the sides and then complete your chat. There are many reasons why driving with a mobile cradled to your ears is dangerous. The primary reason is that it reduces your concentration and perception. Your attention gets diverted and you are likely to lose stability and steering control. When you look down to dial a number of pick up a call, you lose the power to see what’s ahead of you.

Avoid eating your breakfast while driving to office. This hampers your level of concentration because you are in a mood of eating something delicious. This also impairs your reaction to road alerts.

Always look forward while driving your car. This will help to improve your alertness and responsiveness to lane changing cars, changing traffic, unsafe road condition, poor weather conditions as well as expected car collisions.

Drive with both your hand on the steering wheels. Don’t show off while driving. No body on the road is bothered whether you drive with one hand or two and even if people look to that, you should look to your safety. Keeping both hands on the steering wheel helps you to respond quickly to emergency stops and expected car crash.

If you have the innovative safety features outfitted in your car, don’t wait to use them. The tyre pressure monitoring system will help you check the correct tyre inflation. Engine oil indicator will give sign of a faulty engine. Similarly, there are various such innovations that will help to indicate you of any particular car faults. Verify the indications and do the necessary repair or else the car create problems when you are on your way.

Always stay calm when behind the wheels. Road rage is the biggest culprit of the traffic as well as the road injury. Some time when fury goes beyond the limit, it also results in road fatality. So, stay cool even if you know that the other driver has crossed you from a wrong diagonal.

Always remember one thing on road: ‘Nothing is important at the cost of your life’.
