Motorcycle Purchase and Finance Done Right

September 1, 2018

Are you considering purchasing a motorcycle? You are not sure about how you should do it and how you should prepare for the motorcycle loan application? Following is a brief explanation and tips on how to purchase your desired motorcycle and how to finance the purchase by means of motorcycle loans. If you want to obtain advantageous terms both on the loan and on the bike purchase follow this advice carefully and you will achieve what you want without hassles. Though there is no particular order in which a motorcycle purchase steps should be followed, always remember that shopping for a motorcycle with the loan pre-approval in hand will guarantee you better terms on your loan purchase.

Shopping Around For The Right Bike

Before starting your search for your dreamed motorcycle there are a couple of things you need to resolve first: You should always consider your monthly payment possibilities with your budget at hand, you should also know beforehand how much money you are willing to spend for the motorcycle purchase and for the financing of that purchase and with that information in mind, you should start shopping for your motorcycle loan first unless you have the money ready for the purchase. In any case, when you have the money or the loan pre-approval, the shopping should start calmly knowing that you will not close on the first deal you are presented. Do not rush in or look anxious, remember that you will at first only be gathering information regarding models, brands, prices, etc.

Once you have gathered enough information you need to find a balance. Do not get capricious and consider your options, seek the bike that matches not only your taste, but also your budget and your convenience. After you have selected your desired motorcycle, find the lowest price you were offered for that bike and taking that offer with you contact the other dealerships to ask them to improve that offer. As you can see, this is the reason why you need to have the money or the loan pre-approval ready before contacting dealers: When bargaining, if you have the money or financing available, the dealers will take you seriously and try to improve the offer to keep you as a client.

Shopping for The Loan

Getting the loan needs to be done first. At least you should try to obtain pre-approval in written so you can show it to the dealers and bargain for a better purchase price. Motorcycle loans are not that difficult to get. If you have a fair or good credit score, things will really be simple. But if your credit is not that good, there is no need to despair. Bad credit motorcycle loans are available widely and by shopping around a little you can obtain competitive rates for bad credit motorcycle loans too. In any case, whether you are seeking a regular motorcycle loan or a bad credit motorcycle loan, you should request many loan quotes and try to contact lenders informally to know what they charge for financing. Once you have several loan quotes to compare, you should pick the loan with the terms that best adjust to your budget and finances.

Automotive Service Technician Apprenticeship Is The First Step To Success

August 24, 2018

Some people who want to become automotive service technicians may be limited in obtaining an education because they cannot afford to take time off work from their current automotive position to advance their education. At Centennial College, students don’t have to choose. With the post-secondary’s automotive service technician training, there is an earn-while-you-learn approach. That makes it possible to learn while still making a living. How? First, during the three eight-week in-school sessions of the automotive service technician apprenticeship, students may qualify for income support through Employment Insurance Canada benefits or training allowance. Meanwhile, there are also five periods of 1,800 hours with an employer during which students are fully compensated for their work. In addition, if that time period doesn’t fit their schedule, students can complete the program by attending one day a week for three years or two evenings a week for three years.

To apply for this automotive service technician training, students have completed an Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent and be employed as an apprentice. However, they cannot apply directly to the college or ontariocolleges.ca for admission. For general information about apprenticeship registration, students are asked to contact the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities.

Once they have gone through the application process and been accepted, students will discover a program that puts the emphasis on ensuring they obtain a good working knowledge of all of a vehicle’s systems: engines, electrical/electronics, fuels, transmissions and drivelines, steering, suspension and brakes. This occurs through the provinces largest transportation training centre, Ashtobee Campus. This facility houses workshop labs that simulate a real life environment and include tools of the trade and entire cars and car parts that have been donated to the school, on which students practice. Leading the students are professionals from the field who can offer one-on-one instruction as well as share their own experiences. More specifically, during their in-school sessions students learn car systems by attending the following automotive service technician training courses: Drive Train Systems, Electrical/Electronic & Emission Systems, Engine Systems, Work Practices and Procedures, and Suspension/Steering and Brake Systems.

After learning about a certain aspect of being an automotive service technician, students spend time with an employer showcasing their skills, encountering customers and practicing in a real-life setting. Upon graduation from Centennial College, students have the potential to be hired by their apprenticeship employers, full-time. In fact, more than other industry, the automotive service technician field looks for apprentices and workers who enter the sector having already experienced hands-on situations. Positions for those with automotive service technician training can be found in: vehicle and parts manufacturers, dealers, garages and service stations, retailers, governments, corporations with their own fleets as well as in self-employment.

Boyce Activated Carbon Products For The Automotive Industry

August 21, 2018

Our granular activated carbons have a wide range of uses for the automotive industry. Boyce Granular Activated Carbon (GAC) is excellent for low pressure drop, high-efficiency purification of liquids, gases and vapors. Available in several grades, it covers a range of pore size distributions, surface chemistries, particle size distributions and purity levels. Granular activated carbons are used for gasoline vapor recovery, air purification, catalysis, and decolonization/deodorization/contaminant reduction of chemicals.

Automotive Industry Applications

Automotive Evaporative Emissions

Vehicle activated carbon canisters are designed to capture fuel emissions generated by the evaporation of the fuel tank vapors during day to night temperature variations. Emission regulations vary throughout the world. In the United States (US), requirements call for capturing fuel vapors generated during a 72-hour test, while in the European Union requirement are for a 24-hour test. Fuel vapor generation rates are approximately 25 to 30 grams a day for a mid-size vehicle. Our granular activated carbons are used by leading industries for this application because of their superior volumetric cost, performance and proven durability.

Automotive ORVR

On-Board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR) is a U.S. regulation that requires the capture of fuel vapors generated during vehicle refueling events. ORVR presents a unique challenge for the vehicle by requiring the canister to have high fuel vapor capacity at fast loading rates and low pressure drop. ORVR canisters are typically two to three times the size of a standard evaporative emissions canister because of these capacity requirements. Our carbon pellets are the industry standard for this application due to their high capacity, durability and low pressure drop. Further, our special grade of Boyce carbon helps to reduce canister size due to its industry leading capacity.

Automotive PZEV

Partial Zero Emission Vehicle (PZEV) is a California initiated emission category that is expanding across the country. PZEV requires the vehicles fuel system to have no more than 54 mg of emissions during a 72-hour test. PZEV presents a unique challenge to control canister bleed emissions to very low levels, typically less than 10 mg. Boyce special grades gives solution to control canister bleed emissions.

Two-Wheelers

There is a global expansion of canisters on motorcycles to control fuel tank evaporative emissions generated by the evaporation of the fuel tank vapors during the day to night temperature variations. These canisters are typically much smaller than an automotive canister. Our granular activated carbons are chosen for this application throughout the world for their superior volumetric cost and performance and proven durability.

Air Induction Systems

Vehicle regulations in the U.S. sometimes necessitate the control of vapors emitted through the vehicles air induction systems. Unique solutions are required to solve these emissions because of the high airflow within the AIS and the potential to affect engine performance if these airflows are inhibited. Our uniquely designed granular and powder carbon are used to reduce hydrocarbon emissions to targeted levels.

Small Off-Road Engines Fuel tanks for weed trimmers, leaf blowers, lawn mowers, generators and similar products are being mandated to control fuel evaporative emissions. Our granular activated carbons are chosen for this application for their superior volumetric cost and performance and proven durability.

Marine

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is evaluating evaporative emission control regulations for recreational boats.

Cabin Air (Vehicle Interiors)

Exposure to volatile organic compounds that off-gas from interior components in new vehicles is of increasing concern in many parts of the world. Recent tests have demonstrated significant reductions of VOCs in the cabin by the use of activated carbon sheets. Boyce supplies special grades of activated carbon to make activated carbon sheets. This confirms ACS as a low-cost and effective method for reducing VOC content in the cabin before delivery to the consumer.

Hybrid Electric Vehicles and Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles

Automotive equipment manufacturers are increasingly turning to advanced engine technology to increase fuel economy. HEV and PHEV, while allowing for improved fuel economy, present a unique challenge for the activated carbon canister primarily due to severely restricted purge volumes. While our carbons are recognized for their superior purge performance, to meet the challenges of HEV and PHEV our carbons are typically combined with activated carbon honeycombs to meet emission targets.

Gasoline Direct Injection Engines

Gasoline Direct Injection Engines (GDI), while allowing for improved fuel economy, present a unique challenge for the activated carbon canister primarily due to reduced purge volume. Our carbons are recognized for their superior purge performance to meet most global GDI canister challenges. Additionally, our carbons are combined with our activated carbon to meet PZEV level emission targets.

Fuel Loading/Transfer Facilities

Bulk fuel and chemical transfer facilities use large-scale activated carbon absorbers to capture the vapors that are displaced or generated during the liquid transfer. The characteristics that make Boyce products the premier activated carbon for automotive evaporative emissions control apply to fuel loading as well.

Auto Electrical Repair Keep Current In The New Year!

August 17, 2018

For many people, the New Year continues to present financial challenges and you may need to hold onto your older car another year. Don’t overlook the responsibilities as a vehicle owner that will keep you safely on the road, including auto electrical repair. Accurate diagnosis is one of the most difficult challenges to be found when working on today’s automobiles. Considering the large number of systems that use electricity in order to operate, being able to quickly diagnose problems with starters and alternators to perform the correct auto electrical repair can be a real asset.

Consider these three resolutions for the New Year:
>Resolution No. 1 — Keep up with fluid and filter changes. Checking on your vehicle’s fluids and filters are important to the longevity of your car and interior comfort. Circle a day on your calendar each month to check all of your fluids and make sure they are at the correct levels. Remember to schedule an oil change, or any other fluid change as recommended by your vehicle’s manual. Don’t hesitate to ask your professional auto mechanic for the appropriate interval for fluid and filter changes.
>Resolution No. 2 — Schedule two vehicle checkups during the year. You will need the help of a professional to perform an auto electrical service to pinpoint any problems that may be happening with your electrical system. A well-trained mechanic can spot potential problems before they happen, especially with alternators. Preventative maintenance is cheap insurance for a reliable vehicle.
>Resolution No. 3 — Take care of small problems early. Unfortunately, cars can’t fix themselves. Putting off minor maintenance or easy repair work can result in larger problems and costly repair bills overall. Don’t procrastinate; repair what’s wrong; have the appropriate services at the correct intervals, and your car will last a lot longer.

Do you have questions about starters and alternators? Contact our ASE Certified Technicians at Price’s Precision auto repair shop today by calling (406) 248-2838, or go on-line to www.pricesprecisionauto.com for more information about auto electrical repair.
