Automotive Paint Repair Can Resolve Any Road Rash Situation - Salon

Posted: 14 Oct 2009 10:26 PM PDT

The road rash on your automobile looks terrible. What do you do? Orange County paint chip repair can be incredibly expensive in terms of labor. Unfortunately, you may not know the quality of work you will receive, nor are you aware of the durability of their paint products.

One of two methods is commonly used by car paint repair services. The paint blob technique is used when a technician applies a little blob of paint to each chip. This technique is also common to the paint pens that are sold in auto parts stores or dealership service departments. Unfortunately, this application method is very tedious work (which constitutes the high price), and usually leaves a big blob of paint, which is more noticeable than the chip itself.

Some automotive paint repair services use the second technique, called the slurry method. The slurry technique requires that the technician first apply the paint and then rub off the excess to leave a smooth finish. Generally, the slurry technique is the preferable method of the two. Unfortunately, the appearance doesn't last more than a few weeks; a fact often undisclosed by the auto paint repair service.

Fortunately, there is an answer for Orange County car paint scratch repair. Throughout the country, individuals, dealerships, and body shops utilize Car Paint Chip Repair's unique, signature line of products. Our high end car paint repair systems are now used by a distinguished list of clients, including BMW, Mercedes, Audi, and Lexus dealerships.

UPDATE 1-GKN Q3 pretax steady, but uncertainty remains - Reuters

Posted: 14 Oct 2009 11:23 PM PDT

* Posts Q3 pretax profit of 36 mln stg ($58 mln)

* Sales dip 3 percent to 1.1 bln stg

* Net debt stood at 374 mln stg

* Says good progress continues with restructuring programme

(Adds details)

LONDON, Oct 15 (Reuters) - British automotive and aerospace parts maker GKN (GKN.L) posted a pretax profit of 36 million pounds ($58 million) in the third quarter and said considerable uncertainty remains in a number of its markets.

"In Automotive, the full impact on vehicle production of the phasing out of a number of incentive schemes in Europe and North America will not become evident for a number of months," it said on Thursday in a trading update.

Pretax profit was unchanged from the year earlier, while sales dipped 3 percent to 1.1 billion pounds. The company expects sales in the fourth quarter to be similar to those achieved in the third quarter.

Net debt stood at 374 million pounds at the end of September as a result of a rights issue and positive cash flow in the third quarter.

It added that good progress continues to be made with its restructuring programme.

Macau Casino Growth Threatened?

The explosive growth of the casino industry in Macau may be threatened as the government of Macau − the Chinese gambling Mecca − is considering ways to impose restrictions on age, number of tables and locations of casinos.

Yesterday, government officials of Macau met with six major casino operators including Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS) and Wynn Resorts Ltd. (Nasdaq: WYNN) and a casino jointly operated by MGM Mirage (NYSE: MGM) and local businesswoman/tycoon Pansy Ho, concluding that limitless expansion of the Macau gambling sector may be harmful to the society. Significant expansion of the gambling business in Macau has encouraged corruption, addiction and prostitution in that area.

The government is considering regulations like raising the entry age limit for casinos to 21 years from 18 years, limiting the number of tables per casino and modifying zoning laws to compel slot machine halls away from residential areas and into commercial zones.

Advance Auto Targets E-Commerce

Advance Auto Parts (NYSE: AAP) has launched its own e-commerce website, AdvanceAutoParts.com, to sell its products online for the first time since its dissolution with Phoenix-based auto retailer CSK Auto during the first quarter of 2009. The website will allow customers to purchase more than 100,000 parts and accessories. It will also allow free shipping on purchases of $75 or more as well as free in-store pickup.

The Roanoke, VA-based auto retailer previously operated a similar website called PartsAmerica.com in partnership with CSK Auto. However, it had to close down the website after CSK was acquired by Springfield, MO-based auto retailer O'Reilly Automotive (Nasdaq: ORLY). At that time, Advance Auto only operated an online merchandise lookup feature.

In 2007, Advance Auto targeted e-commerce as a potential growth channel. The company now aims to take it to the next level. Last month, the company opened an e-commerce office in Campbell, CA, near Silicon Valley. The headcount in the office (currently constituting 20 employees) will be doubled as the company ramps up the new website.
