Automotive Reviews and Skeptical Journalism
When we hear the words ‘automotive reviews’ we think of comparative tests, investigations, technical details, advantages and disadvantages of a particular car model. People are most interested in automotive reviews when they are about to purchase a vehicle. This is an important decision for the potential buyer since the car may remain in his/her possession for many years. Actually, statistics say that the purchase of a car is the second largest expense for many people. In developing countries, the situation is even worse than that, as choosing a certain car is sometimes a life commitment for those people. Under these circumstances, automotive reviews are a must. No automobile is to be purchased without having consulted its review. Automotive reviews are useful for all kinds of customers, from those are simply interested in buying a cheap car with good gas mileage to those who are mostly interested in design and comfort. To all these people the purchase of a car may appear as a very challenging experience, since the auto market is vast and the lack of experience can prove to be a serious drawback. Needless to say all those interested in purchasing a car should follow the latest automotive news in order to keep up with what is new in this vast and complicated area. However, automotive reviews cannot be found on television every day, nor do they appear in newspapers. Moreover, specialized media, such as auto magazines, which are issued weekly or monthly, may not give the automotive reviews you need when you need them. Therefore, a good source of accurate and reliable automotive reviews is the Internet. Automotive blogs are full of information with and about cars and many related topics. In addition, you get more than statistics or official figures, because people like you have posted their comments or facts from personal experience on those car blogs. Sometimes this beats all automotive reviews.
As we have stated before, there are many sources of automotive news and reviews. The problem is that some of them may not be as reliable as we think and this can be damaging to the consumer. There are times when the interests of certain companies stand in the way of giving consumers honest advice. A good share of criticism is not a must have for automotive reviews. However, skeptical journalism is proof that the consumer’ s best interest is at the top of the priority list. Auto magazines present a lot of automotive reviews because that’s their line of work, but they will rarely point out possible flaws of automobiles. Everyone will agree that in the auto magazines or TV shows, the automotive reviews sound a little too good to be true. You can check out the latest automotive news in magazines and on TV shows, but as far as the reviews are concerned, you should only trust what you see with your own eyes. This may turn out to be a little difficult at times, but fortunately we live in the technology era, and seeing it for yourself is now possible on the internet. If a car reviewer speaks of some less appealing features of a certain automobile, there’s the chance of actually seeing them by means of multimedia. Criticism equals bad publicity, so when it comes to magazines or television shows, there’s a good chance that the consumer will be deprived of his right to be honestly and correctly informed. Therefore, the internet remains the most reliable source of both automotive news and automotive reviews.

sorry to ask a stupid q, what is an OEM?
One way you can increase the business is to focus on selling items that are not fast selling that you can ship to rural areas.
It seems that you are not in a populated area, so focus on the needs of those companies. Sell and ship, it might be a little slow but you can start and get bigger and bigger volumes.

You are going about this backwards……..
FIRST, you need to have solid deals with SUPPLIERS, who will sell to you, at wholesale prices, so you can make a profit .
Second, WHERE are you going to keep all that automotive product, that you want to sell ? How much secure, dry and heated warehouse space do you have, now ?
OR are you going to use a "drop shipper ' ? A what ?
If you don't know what that is, you are NOT ready to start a business.
Before you build a house, you need to put a solid foundation under it. In this case the foundation does not appear to be in place, at all.
Finally, have you done any research , about this type of business, to find out of it is NEEDED, or is the field all ready flooded with them ?
Do you think that you can compete with the big boys?/ On price, or service, or inventory ?
Lots to think about, isn't there ?

yes, and 7 years is the correct time. all mechanical companies must do this…motorcycles, boat motors, even chainsaw manufacturers are held to this standard in order to protect a consumers investment.

for oil: Valvoline, Castrol, Mobil
oil filters, Wix, Purolator, Baldwin, (Napa, motorcraft, ac delco are reboxed and made by wix and purolator)
air filters: Wix, Purolator, K&N
spark plugs.. NGK, AC Delco, Motorcraft, Champions for dodge and jeeps only, denso's are ok, but NGK's are better.
best air filter for performane, K&N.. Airraid is very good too, and costs less.
best oil.. all a matter of opinion. mobil 1 is good, factory fill for a lot of cars. I prefer Valvoline Synpower though.
ALWAYS AVOID FRAM! Avoid pennzoil and quaker state.
any cheapo filter is probably a fram.
why? fram oil filters have a cardboard backing plate that breaks off under higher pressure, and it never fails to break off, the filter then becomes an obstruction and the pump has to work harder to push oil through it. during this time, can take 30 seconds to 20 minutes, the valves will click and clack.
when they stop, the oil is finally pushing past the filter.
fram is just low quality. their air filters are ok, but if their oil filters have shortcuts in them, why waste time with them as a company for?
on the Ford trucks that use the cone style filter, there's a plastic nose cone that's glued to the tip, well I've seen that break off and plug the air filter hole. Go fram!
Oh.. there is NO GOOD FRAM FILTER. If you must use fram, at least use the tough guard, it's made differently and isn't jacked up like the others.
pennzoil and quaker state used to put parrafin (a form of wax) in their oils. you can see damage that wax can do if you tear an engine down.
Nice huh? but today, I simply don't want to waste time buying an oil that took a shortcut.
Valvoline for life!
