PAGE 28, WEDNESDAY, JULY 18, 1984, WHITBY FREE PRESS wv John Walby Learn b love that car (NC) - I like cars - aiways have. When 1 was a kid, few things possessed the spien- dor of a purring engine, or heid as much pleasure for me as spending endiess af- ternoons bent biissfully over sick carburetors or seized valves, up to nyy el- bows in grease. Long-lasing affair I cant deny it: the inter- niai comnbustion engin e and I were -to borrow aquaint expression from that by- gone era - going steady. And though we've both ma- tured and grown more so- pbisticated, the affair bas endured to this day. The difference is now I teacb people, who remind me of my younger self, how to become good techni- cians, and people who are already good technicians how to become even better. And, I'm happy to say, that can only be done - as vou migbt have guessed - ComploesCollision Repairs & Painting by spending endless after- noons bent blissfully over sick carburetors and seized valves, up to our elbows in grease. One of the most imp)or- tant tbings I do as a teacber-tecbnician is to en- courage people, who have no mechanical training, some of whom wouldn't know a timing chain'from an eggplant. to take a keen interest in their automo- biles and the 15 thousand bits and pieces that maike it up.

While it's not my inten- tion to turn everybody into mechanics, I do try to make people more aware of what 1 like to cail the aiert signs, which signal that some- thing ig in need of attentio:i. And sometimes - as Wî the case of your* battery - you may only get onv warning. You tutri the key in the ig- nlition l... click, click! You turn it again, and the car starts.

The warranty, introduced in March by Ziebart, is the strongest, most com- prehensive in the in- dustry. The new warranty will be issued wîth every new vehicle rust protec- tion treatment done by certified specialists at Whitby Ziebart and covers rust repair costs for the entire lifetime of a vehicle, up t'O the National Automotive Dealers Association median retail Blue Book value for that vehicie. The warranty applies only to private-use vehicles and replaces the old Ziebart rust wýarranty. The warranty is also transferable. "I'm proud to offer this warranty to My retail customers," said Jim Vanderwater of Whitby Ziebart. "This warranty surpasses ail other warranties of- fered by either com- petitive rustproofers or original equipment manufacturers." Each warranty issued by Whitby Ziebart is backed by an individual, fully-paid insurance policy from The St. Paul Companies, Inc., a major worldwide in- surer. "I can fuily assure, under - this warranty, that any potential dlaim during the lifetime of the vehicle will be honored," Vanderwater said. "We believe that, although Ziebart has the finest record in the in- dustry concerning warranty performance, this new warranty protection shows we are serious about Our warranties and that we are the leaders and trend-setters in this in- dustry.
