Halloween is celebrated in many

cultures on the 31st of October. The

roots of this fun evening for kids go

way back to the ancient Celtic festi-

val known as Samhain.

Ancient Celts believed that on Octo-

ber 31, the boundaries between the

living and the dead overlapped and

the dead would come back and

wreak havoc on the living, damaging

crops. People of that time would

wear costumes to ward off evil spir-

its and hold huge bonfires to attract

bugs and bats.

In England, the holiday also had cul-

tural underpinnings. The practice of

“souling” where poor citizens would

go door to door on Hallowmas

(November 1) to receive food in ex-

change for saying prayers for the

dead.

There is little reference to Hallow-

een in the United States until the

early 1900s when businesses and

local shops began offering treats for

children who visited their stores.

In certain parts of the country, the

night is known as Beggar’s Night.

More and more community events

are scheduled around the holiday

now to provide a safe and carefree

way to trick-or-treat!

If you think a bad credit report only costs you when you apply for a loan, think again!

Mistakes on your credit report could keep you from getting an apartment, nix your plans for a cell phone or even cost you a job. Your credit score can be used for car in-surance and health insurance too! So don’t let mis-takes on your credit report keep you from getting the good things in life!

Industry esti-mates put the num-ber of credit re-ports with mis-takes at over 80%. OMG! That is 4 out of every 5 credit reports! If you consider how many ways a bad credit report can impact your day to day life, this is something you should work on immediately.

Granted, many of the mistakes on credit reports are minor—like mis-takes in spelling, employment his-tory or addresses. But some are much much bigger and you can’t be sure unless you get a copy of your credit report.

Getting a copy of your credit re-port to review has never been eas-ier. You can just go to the website: www.annualcreditreport.com and get a copy absolutely free. It is the law!

Around here, you should proba-bly start with pulling Equifax — it is the report most lenders in this area use. Try not to pull all three at one time — you get one free copy of EACH report per year, so you can get a different report every 120 days and be up to date all the time.

Once you pull up your report online, you can review the report for any mistakes that might be there. I tried it recently — my re-port showed my work address as my home address. One click and a few days later, voila! My report was fixed.

Even better, if you dispute an ac-count on your report and the com-

pany that holds the ac-count doesn’t r e s p o n d within 30 days, they are required by law to remove the account from your credit report!

If you are dili-gent, you can often boost

your score 50-100 points by disput-ing information you know to be incorrect.

FREE OFFER! NO STRINGS ATTACHED!

If all this is TOO much for you to han-dle (hey, we can’t all be technologically advanced!) we can make it happen for you. Just call us and schedule an appointment to sit down with one of our finance pros. They can help walk you through the process, review your credit report, help you with the dis-putes and give you some straight up advice on improving your credit. We even have a free book that details all the secrets you need to move that score up! And this is a totally “no strings at-tached” offer. We won’t try to sell you anything or pressure you in any way. We figure by helping you today you may return the favor down the road. Call today to 540-213-0202 to get started on the road to better credit.

Do you know of someone who is looking

They’ll be glad you did and so will you!

Here’s why…

If you refer someone to me this month,

when we close the deal, I will give you $150

stigma that plagues car

dealers around the world.

He does this by fighting

for the consumer as a car

dealer that advises people and helps them

get the quality vehicle they want and de-

serve in an positive and safe environment.

Duct tape is a wonderful inven-tion! Have you ever seen the Mythbusters where they make a boat out of duct tape. It seems like you can fix virtually anything with this silver sticky stuff.

Well, almost everything. If you keep a roll of duct tape in your car “just in case” you might need to re-consider your vehicle maintenance schedule. Maintaining your vehicle should involve a little bit more than duct taping leaks and changing your oil!

The biggest complaint we get in the service department is that vehi-cle maintenance is too expensive! Well, that’s at least partially true. Maintaining a vehicle is not “cheap” but NOT maintaining a vehicle is really expensive!

What do I mean? Think about your brakes — if you wait to re-place your brakes until they are “metal to metal”, you will probably need new rotors. That is going to double or triple your bill. Consider your tires — rotating your tires every other oil change can extend the life of your tires more than enough to pay for the rotation, plus it will give you a safer and more comfortable ride.

Often, people wonder what main-tenance is really necessary. Every manufacturer has their own sched-

ule, which we can provide you when you come in for service. But in general, here is what you should consider:

OIL CHANGE EVERY 3,000 MILES

ROTATE TIRES EVERY 6,000 MILES

COOLANT SVC EVERY 24,000 MILES

TRANS SVC EVERY 30,000 MILES

AIR FILTER EVERY 30,000 MILES

FUEL FILTER EVERY 30,000 MILES

SPARK PLUGS EVERY 60,000 MILES

As you can see, every 30,000 miles

you should consider a pretty exten-

sive maintenance package. Some

vehicles also recommend replacing

your timing belt and water pump at

100,000 miles. Again, we can show

you the entire recommended service

schedule anytime at Warehouse Auto

Repair.

No one can forget that great 80s song

by Tommy Tutone. “Jenny, Jenny, who

can I turn to?” News stories at the time

showed people who unluckily had this

phone number were inundated with crank

phone calls.

But what if you could use that number

to your advantage? Virtually every major

retailer has a rewards or shoppers card that

gives you discounts on products. You will

see this at Food Lion, Martin’s, and even

CVS. But what if you don’t have your

card or don’t want to sign up?

Most retailers let you enter an alternate

ID—usually your phone number. Since

many people are loathe to provide their

own phone number. So, in almost every

area code and at almost every store, you

can just punch in your area code and 867-

5309 and you will still get the store dis-

counts.

Give it a try at the next store you go to

and see if it works. If it does, you can

thank that annoying song from the 80s for

saving you some cash!
