XXX 高科技油電車

XXX 高科技油電車用盡心思在科技在開發，花大筆廣告費在行銷。

我們的ㄧ個 Insurance Agency 的客人，愛 XXX 高科技油電車愛的死去活來，讚不絕口。結果某天他出車禍了，打給 XXX 高科技油電車 總公司，說車子要等上四個月車子才修得好，因為等內部零件寄到就要這麼久，也不敢隨便讓ㄧ般車廠亂修，最好最貴的 Insurance 也只會 cover 到ㄧ個月的租車費用，剩下的3個月怎麼辦！？車子被撞後不能開，自己租車也不是，不租也不是，後來他就沒那麼愛 XXX 高科技油電車了。

不過要被撞到車子裡面的零件才會需要等那麼久，但是如果只需要板金，不用等內部零件，我們公司還是可以很快修好的喔！我們用的漆是 Tesla Factory approved 的德國進口的高級漆，所以下次如果開 XXX 高科技油電車出車禍記得撞輕ㄧ點喔！

這麼高科技的車，XXX 高科技油電車 從今年 3 月到 5 月已經預售了40 幾萬台，他們只管賣不管售後服務！？

Douglas Auto body and Paint

Armen Daghla and Kevin Daghla of Douglas Auto Body are always willing to help you fix your automobile with a smile.

 

Douglas Auto body and Paint is a gem in a tough industry

The auto body industry can be shady. One never knows if a shop is cutting corners or overcharging customers. But Douglas Auto Body is different. It’s a family-owned business that has served the community since 1956. The mission of Douglas Auto Body is to provide honest, quality, and express service.

Located at 2453 E. Colorado Blvd., Pasadena, Douglas Auto Body is now run by Armen and Kevin Daghla, who inherited the business from their father. Their goal is to restore customers’ vehicles and get the customers back to enjoying their daily lives. Douglas Auto Body wants to keep things simple and efficient for their customers.

Douglas Auto Body provides body and frame work, primer and paint, windshield repair, and mechanical repairs. The business has also cultivated relationships with local dealers and insurance companies.

“We care about the quality and the customers whose cars we service,” said Eva Hsiung, business manager of Douglas Auto Body. “Our slogan is honesty, quality, and express service. We always want to make sure that people are getting their cars taken care of quickly, and we do honest work.”

Ms. Hsiung shared a few stories about receiving cars for repair that should have been totaled. She said that Douglas will not repair a car that should not be repaired because it is too dangerous to operate and that some auto body shops do not have this level of integrity.

The collision work that Douglas offers has a life time warranty. They stand by their paint jobs. Few auto body shops offer a guarantee that is longer than three months.

Timing Belt

什麼是 Timing Belt?

Timing Belt 是大家常聽到的汽車引擎裡很重要的一個皮帶, 通過與曲軸的連接並配合一定的傳動比來保證進、排氣時間的准確。之所以用皮帶而不是齒輪來傳動，是因爲皮帶噪音小。

Timing Belt  是銷耗品，因為皮帶料是橡膠做的, 所以在使用一段時間跟汽車行駛總英里數mileage 後一定要更換，否則皮帶會老化斷裂，引擎有極大可能因此損壞，車子會拋錨，無法再行駛，所以..................

一定要定期檢查更換 Timing Belt

一定要定期檢查更換 Timing Belt

(很重要所以說三遍)

通常是 6 萬到 9 萬英里 miles 就要換 Timing Belt, 取決於汽車型號和車輛狀況 Depends on model and condition of the vehicle。

長期來看，平時就做好汽車保養及定期更換 timing belt，比日後拖進修理廠連引擎一起修還划算許多喔!

噠啦～ ~前面才說到XXX 高科技油電車，接著就有人complain了..........

總結ㄧ下： 其實不是要宣傳 XXX 高科技油電車的錯誤，而是再怎麼強大的公司或再怎麼高科技的產品或再怎麼厲害的人物，都會有瑕疵有錯誤的時候，最重要的是如何解決那個錯誤跟承認犯下的錯誤並從這當中去檢討去改進以及如何彌補過錯才是最重要的！
