Auto Correct | Rental Vehicles

A flood vehicle, or flood-damaged car, is a vehicle that has been partially or fully submerged in water, leading to significant and potentially hidden damage to its body, engine, and electronics. These vehicles often receive a "salvage" or "flood" title, which should be disclosed by sellers.


A rental vehicle is a car, truck, van, or other automobile that is hired out to a customer for a short period, such as a day, week, or even months, without the customer taking ownership of the vehicle. The renter pays a fee for the temporary use of the vehicle and is responsible for its condition and adherence to the rental terms, which may include insurance, mileage limits, and fuel policies. https://www.google.com/search

Auto Correct | Flood Vehicles "Hurricane Katrina @ 20"

A flood vehicle, or flood-damaged car, is a vehicle that has been partially or fully submerged in water, leading to significant and potentially hidden damage to its body, engine, and electronics. These vehicles often receive a "salvage" or "flood" title, which should be disclosed by sellers.

Auto Correct | Fuses, Breakers, & Amps, Oh My!

Car fuses are components designed to protect electrical wiring in cars and vehicles. An automotive circuit breaker is an electrical protection device designed to interrupt the flow of current in a circuit when it exceeds a predetermined level. Amp is short for ampere, which is the unit of measurement for electric current. The bigger the amp value, the more electricity is available. Your vehicle's type and size affect what model of car battery it carries and its amp rating.

Auto Correct | Big Box vs. Dealership vs. Independent: What to Know & Where to Go for a Fix

When comparing "Big Box" auto retailers (like stores that sell a wide range of items) to auto dealerships and independent repair shops, the key differences lie in pricing, customer service, and expertise. Dealerships often offer brand-specific expertise and convenient service, but may have higher prices. Independent shops typically provide more competitive pricing and a wider range of vehicle expertise, but may not always have the same access to OEM parts as dealerships.
