One company that should not be overlooked when choosing a collision repair company is Bailey Motors of Redding. Jake Bailey is now offering his 10 years experience in collision repair to the general public for insurance repairs. Here are a few tips to help you choose someone to repair your accident damage vehicle.

What should you look for in a good Collision Repair company?

1. Check that other vehicles coming out of the workshop look good. Are there any signs of a ‘patched’ job on the bodywork, does the color look the same all over?
2. How long have they been in business? Do they have a good reputation in the area?
3. Ask if you can have your vehicle checked over by another mechanic or body shop.
4. What do they offer if there is a problem with any of the work done?
5. Have their vehicles been test-driven by someone experienced to know how to spot any faults?
6. Have the electronics and wiring been checked? Often automobiles that have been in an accident can have problems with these areas further down the line.
7. Can you have a print-out from a reliable alignment shop?
8. Are they giving you a reasonable quote for the job? Often a dealership will inflate the price of a job if they know its for insurance purposes.

Other factors can affect the actual payment, so this automotive loan calculator should be only be used for estimation purposes.

One of the major advantages to using online classifieds and auction sites is the increased visibility your ad gets. Instead of just reaching people in your own town like a typical newspaper does, you can reach people in towns over a much wider region.

Often people are looking for a specific vehicle. Instead of only having a few vehicles to choose from when looking in the local paper, by searching the Internet they can have hundreds of vehicles to choose from if they are willing to drive to neighboring towns to see them. Putting your vehicle in a classifieds site like the one at NorCalCars puts your vehicle “On the Net” allowing people from all over the state to find your car by searching in search engine sites like Google.

Unfortunately, the main advantage to using auction and classifieds sites is also one of the main drawbacks. Unscrupulous people use this same search feature to find unsuspecting people to try to scam.

In the excitement of selling their car people often throw caution to the wind and scammers use this to their advantage. Therefore it is important to be aware of some of their methods so that you are able to protect yourself. Remember that they rarely want your vehicle. Normally the scammers are located a distance from where you are, in most cases they are in another country. They want your money, not your vehicle.

One of the easiest ways for them to do this is to send you a fake Cashiers Check, Bank Draft or money order, and then try to convince you to send money back to them or to someone else. While this isn’t the only way they can try to scam you, be assured that anyone willing to send a stranger more money than what they are asking for, trusting them to send money back is trying to scam you!

You can view a typical scam email here.

Also, rarely will someone send more than a small deposit to get you to hold the vehicle for them, before the actually view the vehicle.

Being that there is little that can be done to scammers in other countries it is typically best to just ignore any emails coming from scammers, unless you have reason to believe the scammer is more local. In that case save the information and contact the local authorities to see what can be done.

One Major Advantage to using sites like the classifieds at NorCalCars is that the scammer does not have access to your email address unless you put it in the body of the ad. When they click on the “Reply to Ad” link in your ad, they leave a message and NorCalCars sends that message to your email address. They never see your email address unless you reply to them. When you reply, you are then giving them your email address. So, don’t reply to suspected scammers!

Scammers are usually very easy to spot, so there is normally no greater risk when selling a vehicle on the Internet than there is selling in the newspaper. Watch for the signs that the person may be trying to scam you and have fun selling your car!
