If your ride is your most prized possession and you drive anything lower than an SUV, we know why you're here. You're tired of looking at every driveway with apprehension, trying to guess the grade. You purchased your road-hugging luxury ride because you wanted to roll smoothly from scene to scene. Not so you could jump out and measure the curb before pulling into any parking lot. Even if you're careful to avoid known broken pavement or steep hilly regions, the real heartbreak is when you're driving carefully through the perfectly paved suburbs only to hear a scrape as you pull into a deceptively steep driveway. After all your hard work, despite your best efforts and most attentive driving, there...
You did it didn’t you? You just bought the 2019 BMW i8 that you’ve been salivating forever since they released the specs. I get it. Every time I buy a new car, it’s the love of my life for at least a year or two. (Don’t tell my wife). Let me guess, you’ve run more errands since you bought your car than you have in the last 5 years combined. Why not? Everything looks better when you’re driving your dream car. Until… SCRAPE!!! That pothole just jumped out in the road and found you didn’t it? Don’t feel too bad we’ve all been there, but I found a solution called the BMW Skid Plate. Have I touched a nerve? Then...
Do you know what the biggest complaint I hear from luxury car owners is? Take a guess. It’s not engine trouble, expensive repairs or even gas prices. The number one complaint I hear is bad road conditions. Surprised? I own a repair shop and 2 body shops and I can tell you with certainty that bad road conditions are the worst. Why? Well because most performance cars are low to the ground and therefore more susceptible to bad roads. You know what I’m talking about right? Honestly, I got sick of hearing the whining. Finally I did some research for a customer and discovered the Ford Skid Plate that solved his problem. At first I thought, great I talked...
My wife has a new BMW Series 7. It’s her first BMW and so she treats it like it’s our child. I don’t mind of course, because I treat my Mercedes the same way. The car makes her really happy, at least it did before she scratched up the front bumper… and then did it two more times. Now, she’s a smart woman and a very good driver, but she just wasn’t ready for driving a car with low ground clearance. Luckily, she’s also very type A and did the research to find the perfect solution called the BMW Bumper Scrape Guard. My Wife and Her BMW There is nothing more attractive to me than my wife behind...
War is a terrible truth in our world, but sometimes we can find the good if we look closely. I was just 18 when I learned that some of our greatest achievements in medicine and technology come from war. One such minor miracle indirectly led to a product I have installed on my car today called the Audi Skid Plate. Why? Because I got tired of scraping up the bottom of my beautiful new car and paying thousands each time it happened. More on that later. Let’s backtrack a little and I’ll tell you how all this started. A Little History Believe it or not, it all began during the Vietnam War. You see, US military helicopters crashed when...
