Default It Just So Happens...

that I may have something that will help you!...I have written some special reports covering what you are asking...With your permission, I will send them to you as an e-mail PDF attachment...If you find them useful and informative send me whatever you think they are worth...If you don't find them to be useful, you owe me nothing!...Is that fair?...

In regard to changing the timing belt: This is one service you most certainly should NOT neglect!...If your engine is an "interference" type, when the belt breaks it can literally "destroy" the engine and it would be 'very' expensive to replace an engine!...So this is $140 well spent!...Replacement mileage is set generally at 60,000 miles so at 58,000 you are getting very close to replacement time...Send me the exact year, make, engine size and model of your vehicle and I will be able to tell you if it has an interference engine...(At no charge of course)...

I am in the planning stages of putting together a teleseminar covering something along the lines of "How to change a flat tire and other basic car maintenance tips for women"...(Title is not firm yet)...Would you or any lady you know be interested in a seminar like this?...

If you like, you may e-mail me at: [email protected] ...I invite you and your friends to check out my website at: www.rockerwisdom.com ...

I hope this helps you and I look forward to hearing from you!...Thanks!....Rooster
