Classic cars, up in smoke

Rod Hanggi owns roughly 30 collector cars dating as far back as 1904. But he recently watched them go up in smoke when the building in which they were stored caught fire.

Most now have just a "charred black paint job". Can't imagine how traumatic that must've been!

Meet Barry Bourgeois: Your Central Region VP

Barry Bourgeois went to college to be a stockbroker, but all it took was an interview with Ford Motor Company. He hasn’t looked back since.

At Carmoza, Barry’s responsible for the dealer network in the Central region of the U.S., including 17 Midwest and Central states.

“I really enjoy the exciting challenges of dealing with people on a daily basis and helping businesses increase their operational efficiencies in a fast-paced environment,” said Barry, also a licensed pilot.

Before coming to Carmoza, Barry spent 21 years at Ford and Lincoln Mercury where he kick-started his auto industry career in Ford’s management training program, and later held roles as its franchising strategy manager - West and sales operations manager of the Ford Division.

It’s where he also first worked with Carmoza President Peter Fong.

Barry also ran his own consulting group, Retail Network Development, which provided dealership operations, dealer network development and franchising, and collateral asset management for automotive finance companies. Small wonder he’s a stickler for dealer efficiency!

“Barry has more than 20 years experience at Ford and a true understanding of all facets of dealership operations,” Fong said. “He really knows what dealers need and how to get it to them.”

Barry is a State University of New York (SUNY) at Oswego alumnus. He lives in Birmingham, Mich., with his wife of 15 years and two sons, 11 and 14 years old. He enjoys keeping up with his rambunctious boys and plans to start flying single engine planes again sometime soon.

Buying a Used Car: What You Need to Know

These days, it makes more economic sense to buy a used car. Not only is it cheaper and can still provide a good quality life, most used cars at dealers aren't from trade-ins; they're dealer-bought at professional auctions with low mileage and good maintenance records.

If you're going to invest in a used car, a few things to take into consideration would be:

• Buying an extended warranty


• Research the lemon laws in your state. (A lemon is a vehicle that's plagued with serious defects)


• Consider how you'll finance the car


• Check on insurance costs with a few companies to get an idea of rates and see if you can afford them


• Factor into your budget transportation of the car to you found it out-of-state, online etc.

For more comprehensive information on each of these important points, check out Buying a Used Car: What You Need to Know on CarDetective.com

Cross-Country Auto Shipping: What Can I Expect to Pay?

Moving from one side of the country to the other is expensive. And when you need cross-country auto shipping, it’s wise to get at least one auto shipping quote ahead of time so you can include those costs in your relocation budget.

When you request an auto shipping quote, the company will ask for a pick-up and delivery point to determine how far the distance is between locations. To get an accurate auto shipping quote, you’ll also have to provide information about the size and weight of your car, whether or not you want enclosed transportation, and if your vehicle requires special handling, as in the case of exotic or inoperable cars.

When requesting an auto shipping quote, keep in mind that rates vary per season, and you can expect to pay more in the summer than in the winter. Though your auto shipping quote will depend on all these factors, what follows are some general price estimates for cross-country auto shipping.

• For a regular small to medium size car, you can expect to pay between $600 and $1,100.


• A van or SUV will cost between $800 and $1,200.


• For exotic vehicles that require special transportation and handling, you can expect to pay over $3,000.
  

Small startups think big, hook top executives

Today's story in Automotive News by Lindsay Chappell and Dave Guilford features Carmoza's CEO Peter Fong and co-founder Randy Ortiz.

Here's an excerpt:

Former Chrysler brand CEO Peter Fong says credibility is critical in approaching customers.

"It's important to be able to have your phone calls returned and to have people respond to invitations to meetings," Fong says. "That's been pretty easy for us."

By "us," Fong is referring to himself, auto leasing and dealer training executive Eustice Mita and Randy Ortiz, who retired in March at age 52 as Ford Motor Co.'s general manager of Ford, Lincoln and Mercury sales.

Together with Fong, 46, the former Detroit managers plan to take Carmoza, a vehicle transport startup, into the fast lane. Fong is president of Carmoza, and Ortiz a partner.

"We're talking to all the big dealer groups in the country," says Ortiz, who is drawing a Ford pension. "Peter and I know what dealers face in moving vehicles. A third of their sales are often dealer-to-dealer trades, and there is no national brand serving them."

10 steps to selling your car

So you've decided to sell your car, but before you put it on the market, there are a few things to consider and take care of.

According to the Kelly Blue Book site, it's important to pretend to be the buyer and see the car through his or her eyes. It's also vital that the car is cleaned; you only get to make a first impression once!

Buyers are usually responsible for making sure the car gets to them after purchase, especially if they're out-of-state. But it doesn't hurt for the seller to provide them with car shipping information on a reputable auto transport company to make their lives--and the buying process--a little easier.

Car shipping for snow birds

Leaving a cold climate for the warmth of a southern winter retreat is a rewarding but often costly endeavor. And if you plan to stay away for the entire winter, you’ll want your car with you. Unless shipping cars is your daily business, transporting your own vehicle can be overwhelming if you’ve never done it before. That’s why cheap car shipping is a crucial part of every seasonal traveler's winter plans.

There are reputable companies experienced in shipping cars from northern to southern climates in the United States and beyond. They know shipping cars is a competitive business that requires the best possible care for each car as well as world-class customer service for every customer.

Regardless of what company you choose, the business of shipping cars requires all transport companies to carry insurance for each vehicle. You can request a quote from multiple companies to find cheap car shipping.

Remember, because they are constantly shipping cars, these companies may offer seasonal rates and could have special discounts for your return journey. Keep in mind when planning your journey that the more flexible your pick-up and delivery dates are, the more likely you are to get a good deal on shipping cars.

Auto shipping to warmer climates

Many Americans who live in cold climates like to move south for the winter months. And most want to take their car with them. Auto shippers take great care to transport your car safely to its destination, but there are a number of precautions you, the owner, can take to prepare your car for transportation.

Here are four basic precautions auto shippers always advise to ensure your vehicle remains intact during its journey:

• Remove all personal items from your car, because auto shippers aren’t responsible for any damage to them or for any damage they might cause to your car.
• Make sure any antennas or other loose items are secured, and turn off your alarm.
• If you have a car cover, remove it.
• Auto shippers usually request that an operable car has a quarter tank of gas, as well as adequate air pressure in the tires, so it can easily be driven on and off the trailer.
• Auto shipping companies advise you check on your vehicle’s coolant levels so the car doesn’t overheat in the warmer climate.

If you ask, most auto shippers will provide you with a checklist on how to prepare your car for transportation.

Meet Jason Lewis: Your Carmoza Eastern Regional VP

Jason Lewis broke into the car business in college when he worked for an automotive service chain. He'll tell you that he's never quite found an industry so challenging and rewarding. These days, the Villanova and Penn State alumnus has two passions--family (he has a wife and two toddler daughters) and cars.

At Carmoza, he's responsible for growing the dealer network in the Eastern region of the U.S., increasing transports, and meeting Carmoza's dealer commitments.

Before you buy a car, research, research, research

So you've decided to buy a new car--or a new-to-you-car--whatever works best with your budget.

It's important to do your research when buying a car. Do you want a brand new car, a certified used or a used car? What car payment can you afford? Do you want a particular make, model or body type? If you search outside your area, how will you ship the car to you?

Remember that many sites through which used cars are sold typically don't provide auto transport, so shipping should be factored into your budget.

AutoTrader.com has really useful information on pre-purchase car research. And if you're looking for an idea of the cost the ship you new car safely and on-time, one of Carmoza's Transport Specialists will be happy to guide you through the process.

Carmoza Auto Transport offers Dealer Snow Bird Promotion

It’s no secret in the auto transport world that when the going gets cold, the cold go South. In fact, the population of Florida doubles in the winter and many seasonal travelers move their vehicles to warmer climates.

That’s why Carmoza Auto Transport is offering the Dealer Snow Bird Promotion—a customized service for dealerships that combines vehicle maintenance services with transportation of customers’ vehicles to their seasonal winter home or destination.

“This is a great way for dealers to demonstrate their dedication to customer service by providing vehicle maintenance services as well as auto transport,” said Jeff Sorg, Carmoza’s vice president of strategic partnerships. “It gives them peace of mind that their car’s in good shape for the winter and will get to them on-time and safely.”

“Carmoza’s Snow Bird Promotion allows dealers to attract additional service business while developing greater loyalty and more meaningful, year-round relationships with their customers,” Sorg added.

The Dealer Snow Bird Program is quick and easy. Here’s how it works:

• Dealers complete and submit a dealer form that includes the dealer logo on Carmoza's Dealer Snow Bird Program page

• A regional Carmoza dealer representative will be in contact to confirm included services and the package price.

• Carmoza will send a customized e-mail offering; the dealer has full control over content and messaging.

• The dealership can then send the customized e-mail blast to its customer list.

Contact Carmoza at 1-888-708-0876 for more information or to speak directly with a regional dealer representative. Visit Carmoza’s Dealer Snow Bird Program page for more details.

Why auto shipping rates vary by season

For everyone--especially those on a budget--it’s important to know that auto shipping rates can vary depending on seasonal demand.

If you live in New England and you prefer to spend the cold winter months in a warmer climate, you’ll need a trustworthy auto shipping company that can transport your car to and from your winter home.

Or if you’re a student and you need your car for your summer job back home, you’ll want a reliable company that offers affordable auto shipping rates.

Some things that affect auto shipping rates:

• Because there’s a high demand for auto shipping during the summer months, you can expect to pay $200 to $300 more per car than you would in the winter.
• Auto shipping rates are also influenced by current fuel and oil prices.
• Some reliable, competitive car shipping companies like Carmoza offer a discount on the return shipping of your vehicle. Remember to request a free quote from Carmoza to find out how much you can save on your return trip!
• When you enquire about auto shipping rates, it’s always a good idea to ask whether the price is lower if you change your auto shipping date by a month or two.

What affects your auto shipping quote

Whether you need to transport your vehicle across town, across the country or across the globe, it’s always good to know what an auto shipping quote includes when requesting vehicle shipping quotes.

The most important aspect a shipping company will take into account when giving an auto shipping quote is the distance the car needs to be transported. Obviously, the greater the distance, the higher the costs involved.

Check to be sure your auto shipping quote includes adequate insurance for the protection of your vehicle when it’s in the care of the auto shipping company. The size and weight of your vehicle will also influence your auto shipping quote.

Having all necessary information about your vehicle and your itinerary, information that is accurate and on hand when you request an auto shipping quote, is essential. For example, if your car requires enclosed auto shipping, it will influence the total of the auto shipping quote. This method of auto transport is recommended for exotic cars to protect them from dirt, debris and inclement weather during transport.

Other aspects that will influence your overall auto shipping quote are whether you’ll require storage for your car and whether it’s in running condition or a non-operable vehicle.

Moving a Car on a Budget

When you have to move your family and all of your possessions to a new location, you face a lot of extra costs. Even if your budget is adequate, it’s good to know that when it comes to relocating your vehicle, car moving doesn’t have to be very expensive.

Of course, there are always a number of factors to take into account with car moving, like the distance it needs to be transported and the size and weight of the car, but there are also a few ways to make sure you don’t pay top dollar for car moving.

• When you request a quote from a car moving company, ask if their rates vary with the season. The costs of moving a car are often $200 to $300 dollars lower in the winter, so if you’re flexible with your pick-up and delivery dates, you can save a lot of money.
• Ask about about special deals and discounts on car moving services. Many car moving companies offer discounts for students, snow birds and military families, as well as special deals on multiple cars.

And, of course, if you’re looking for a great deal on car moving, request a free quote from Carmoza today!

Former ADP Dealer Services exec joins Carmoza Auto Transport

Roy Busse, former vice president at ADP Dealer Services and co-founder of Internet vehicle search portal ronsmap, has joined the Carmoza team as Western regional vice president.

Busse, who began his auto career at Ford Motor Co. where he worked his way up to National Dealer Advertising Manager, will be responsible for dealer relations in the Western states for Carmoza—a full-service auto transport company that provides timely and cost-efficient vehicle transport nationwide.

“The entire industry, from OEMs to dealers, is undergoing consolidation, so the vision and goals of Carmoza are perfectly aligned with one of the major industry trends,” Busse said.

It was Carmoza’s dual focus on quality consumer auto transport as well as B2B auto shipping to help manage dealer inventory and meet vehicle demand that drew him to Carmoza, Busse said.

“I get excited about new opportunities that help the dealer be more efficient, make more money, and be more successful, and Carmoza will be an integral part of that process,” said Busse, who grew up in the dealer business.

Before joining Carmoza, Busse had expanding responsibility at ADP in manufacturer relations and regional and national sales, including the launch and integration of sales activity for emerging products and acquired companies. While at Ford, Busse held field sales, national marketing and national dealer advertising positions.

“Roy comes to Carmoza with a solid background in the auto industry and in dealerships, and he adds an awesome level of strength to our team,” said Carmoza President Peter Fong.

Busse, once a partner and manager at Ford dealerships in Spokane, Was., Dallas, Ft. Worth, and Nashville, also built an add-point Lincoln Mercury dealership in Plano, Tex. He joins Carmoza’s RVP team of Barry Bourgeois, Central region, and Jason Lewis, Eastern region.

How to save money on gas

So granted, gas prices aren't quite as high as they were two years ago, but saving money on gas never goes out of style.

wikiHow actually has some really good tips on saving on gas, including filling up efficiently, topping up tire pressure every few weeks, and shifting into neutral (on an automatic) when going down hills.

Of course, when you're moving across states for a job, for military move, the winter and even college, it's also a good idea to look into using a reliable auto transport company, so you won't have to drive.

Top 5 Reasons to Ship Your New Car

By Michael Waterman
Vehix.com

Most people shop for vehicles within 25 miles of their home. They visit local dealerships and scour car classifieds sites like Vehix.com in search of the ideal vehicle. It’s an approach that works well for many buyers and they find the right car just miles from home. But shopping locally doesn’t always translate into the best deal or the best choices.

For example, did you know that you can often wrangle a better deal on an SUV if you buy one in Texas or Florida instead of Utah or Colorado? Or did you know you can find real savings on convertibles by shopping for one in Michigan or Ohio versus Southern California?

You can easily and confidently search the entire country for cars. Once you’ve found the right car at the right price, you have to decide if you want to ship it to your home or get a plane ticket and spend a few days on the road with your new ride. We’re big believers that shipping a car within your region or even across the United States makes a lot of sense. Here are the five reasons car shipping may make sense for your new car.

1. Save on Wear and Tear

Let’s assume you’ve found the perfect 2010 Ford Mustang convertible. It’s been owned and meticulously maintained by a senior couple who only put 2,700 miles on the car, and they’re willing to sell it to you for a great price. The only hitch? You’re in Boston and they’re in Washington, D.C. The good news is that you can ship that car for about $350. By shipping the car, you’ll save yourself the cost of a plane ticket, almost eight hours of driving and nearly 450 miles of wear and tear on your nearly new car. Sounds like a no-brainer to us.

Here are a few cost examples from car shipping company Carmoza*:

• Boston to Washington, D.C. - $350
• Chicago to Orlando - $800
• Los Angeles to Dallas - $675
• San Francisco to Manhattan - $1,100
• Philadelphia to Milwaukee - $550

*Estimates provided for standard size vehicle. Actual costs may be higher or lower depending on price of gas, time of year and specific vehicle.

2. Shipping Companies Can Ship Nearly Any Size Vehicle

Car buyers aren’t the only ones who can secure a great deal on a car in another state and then ship it to their homes. Most large car shipping companies will ship everything from a SmartforTwo to a Chevy Suburban. Just tack on an extra $300 (or more) to that $350 price we quoted for the Washington, D.C. to Boston delivery to send a huge family hauler like a Suburban on a cross-country journey.

You’re still looking at less than $700 to ship a car to your front door. Negotiate a deal that takes shipping into account and shipping a car can still cost less than buying that same vehicle at your local dealership or from a private seller.

3. Save Time While Eliminating Buying Hassles

Believe it or not, many savvy buyers do all their car buying through e-mail and by phone. They never actually walk into a dealership. Here’s how: If you find a car you like in a West Coast city and you’re an East Coast resident, just work out the details with the dealership or private seller over the phone. You can hire a reputable vehicle inspector to ensure the vehicle is as solid as the seller promises.

The last step is to engage a car shipping company like Carmoza to package up your car and deliver it to your driveway. It may sound intimidating, but it’s surprisingly easy. Of course, Carmoza representatives will be happy to walk you through the process.

In the end, you’ll save time. You’ll eliminate the traditional dealer runaround and time spent in their showroom (that single benefit right there is enough to persuade many buyers to give vehicle shipping a try!), and you’ll probably come out ahead financially as well.

4. Shipping Companies Carry Comprehensive Insurance

You’re plunking down some real money to bring this vehicle home. While buying a car is exciting, the thought of sending that car careening down America’s highways can be a bit unnerving. The good news is that car shipping companies hold comprehensive insurance policies that will cover damage that occurs during shipping. Again, a reputable inspector can certify that the vehicle is damage free or can call out any damage before the vehicle ships. The vast majority of vehicles are delivered without issue. However, unexpected incidents during transport can occur and it’s important to work with a shipping company that provides a comprehensive insurance policy.

Our advice is simple: before you ship a vehicle, get a copy of the shipping company’s insurance policy in writing. Then review the details to ensure you’re clear on what is and isn’t covered during shipping. Chances are good that you won’t run into any issues; these companies ship cars daily, after all, and damaging cars during transit is, shall we say, very bad for business.

5. Gain More Selection and More Options by Shopping Nationwide

Ultimately, there is one big reason to shop nationwide and then ship the chosen vehicle to your home: selection and options. If you’re looking for a used Toyota Camry or a Honda Accord in your area, you’ll likely find what you’re looking for in virtually any neighborhood in the United States. But what if you’re looking for a custom 2006 Cadillac DTS with that tough-to-find paint color and only 8,000 miles?

By expanding your new car or used car search to the entire United States, you’ll have a much greater chance of finding the exact vehicle you’re seeking. All you have to do at that point is negotiate a favorable price, then contact a shipping company like Carmoza to deliver that special car. Shopping and shipping really can be that easy.

Both German auto parts maker, Continental, and Michelin say they could soon be raising the prices of tires because of a record high in rubber prices.

That means the more you drive, the more you wear down your tires. And the more you wear down your tires? The more expensive they'll be to replace.
