Here is the news story

Maybe this story will make you think twice before you call someone from craigslist to come to your house to fix a dent or detail your car. Yeah they may have a decent looking add or tell you a lie about how long they have been servicing the San Antonio area. You just never know what or who your inviting to your home or place of work!

The week ahead is busy with work scheduled for Vollmer Service Center, Victor’s Service Center and another other roll bar and racing seat install for a Porsche Turbo

Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

A new car is second only to a home as the most expensive purchase many consumers make. According to the National Automobile Dealers Association, the average price of a new car sold in the United States is $28,400. That’s why it’s important to know how to make your car last not only mechanically but it’s appearance as well. Keeping an older car can save a ton of money. Owning cars for 10 years instead of five could save the typical person more than $250,000 over a lifetime.

You should budget around $1400.00 annually for visual maintenance of your vehicle. This would be for washes and at least one major detail per year. Doing this will help keep your car looking newer longer.

Pictured bellow is a perfect example. It’s a 1993 Honda Accord. If you could see this car in person you would think it just came off the assembly line. Now this customer may be a little extreme compared to most  but it’s proof that regular washing and professional detailing services can keep your car looking newer longer.

At Concours Auto Salon we pride ourselves on making cars “look, smell and feel like new” If you want to fall in love with your car all over again give us a call at (210) 616-9669

There were some difficulties lining the holes that bolt the cage in but were over come with finesse strength and persistence. Next came the assembly of the new Porsche Carbon Fiber  seats and the 6 point harnesses. some slight modifications were done to insert the mounting bar for two of the harnesses under the seats. Finaly the seats were installed and the remainder of the plastic wrap was removed from the roll cage.
