Beat your limits. Be a Rider.
Like its Caffenero 150 sibling, the Caffenero 150 Sport is a stylish, technically advanced and affordable scooter that’s a little bit different – just like you. But this one’s got a distinctly sporty side to its personality, and it’s a personality trait you will enjoy day in and day out. It all starts with stylish, angular and more full-coverage bodywork, which keeps wind and weather off the rider and passenger. There’s a plush saddle for all-day comfort and a riding position you’ll never tire of. Add sporty, cast-alloy wheels, a powerful, quiet and durable 150cc four-stroke engine, convenient electric starting and three attractive color options (blue, red and black) and you’ve got a modern scooter than can tackle the city or the open road – and do it in sporty style.


Understanding traffic laws and road signs is just the beginning of driving safety. As we grow older, we often realize that certain aspects of drive safely become increasingly challenging. One of the largest threats of operating a motor vehicle safely is driving with hearing loss.
If you do notice a change in your hearing, it can have a significant impact on your driving safety. If you experience hearing loss and choose to ignore it, you may experience cognitive problems down the road, and safety hazards when behind the wheel.Johns Hopkins Medicine reports there is an undeniable connection between hearing health and brain health. A constant struggle to hear forces the brain to dedicate much of its valuable resources in an effort to understand what people are saying. It is a contributing factor to brain atrophy, which leads to dementia, and a person suffering from dementia certainly can’t drive.Driving requires effective observational skills, which relates to your auditory ability. The Center for Hearing and Communication states that about 48 million people in the U.S. have hearing loss, and a many of them continue to operate motor vehicles without treating their hearing loss.One study found that individuals driving a car with hearing loss are generally more visually aware of what’s going on and, typically, more careful than some hearing drivers. They drive at a slower pace when on the road and make use of their mirrors more to compensate for what they can’t hear. However, they still have higher rates of accidents when behind the wheel.
In order to stay safe on the road as you get older, you’ll need to make some adjustments so that you can account for hearing loss. Follow a few simple steps and you can stay safe on the road despite your hearing loss. Here are some tips to help you drive safely and responsibly with hearing aids.For anyone with hearing loss, any extra noises can be extremely distracting, and reduce road safety. Keep chaos inside the car down to a minimum. Keep it quiet and calm inside your car so you can focus on hearing important traffic noise without distractions. Shut the radio off completely and ask anyone riding with you to keep conversation to a minimum as well.
It’s the little things that will add up when you drive with hearing loss. For example, if you have hearing loss you won’t hear the clicking of the turn signal that you forgot to turn off after changing lanes. You will have to rely on your eyes to pick up the slack, so get in the habit of checking your dashboard regularly to see what your car is trying to tell you.
You’re not going to hear that rattling noise under the hood anymore, or the warning bell telling you there is a problem with your engine or another critical component. That is a major safety hazard, so make a point of having your car serviced routinely. That’s a good idea for most people but a necessity if you are driving with hearing loss.
Of course you would do this anyway, but make sure you look for signs you may be missing something. You may not hear emergency sirens, for instance, so if you notice cars pulling over to the side, you should follow suit. Look to see how other drivers are responding to their surroundings to get clues on what you might not be hearing, and always stay alert.
Can you drive with hearing loss? That’s up to you. It is possible to be a good driver even if your hearing is not what it used to be because odds are your other senses will help you make the adjustment, but to keep everyone safe, don’t get behind the wheel without your hearing aids.The best way to increase your road safety is to check your hearing. Visit us at Glendora Hearing, and we’ll make things safer for you, and for everyone else on the road. Being a driver behind the wheel means you have to be responsible for your health, and this includes your hearing health.


The Ministry of Transport test MOT is an annual test of car safety and roadworthiness aspects applicable to most vehicles over a certain age in the United Kingdom if they are used on public roads.
It is illegal to drive a non-exempt vehicle that requires a test on public roads without a current MOT, except when driving to or from a pre-booked MOT Test. Possession of an up-to-date VT20 test certificate is a pre-requisite for obtaining a tax disc. A vehicle could suffer major damage after an MOT has been carried out but the certificate would still be valid and obtaining a new one is not required under the test regulations (some insurance companies may ask for a new test but this is purely their own policy, not national law).
When a vehicle fails the MOT test it can be re-tested at a reduced price provided it is returned within a specific time period. If the vehicle remains at Cheriton Motor House for repair after failure then it can have a free re-test up to 10 working days after the original (the 10 days does not include weekends or bank holidays so the period is closer to two full weeks).
The current MOT Charge is £50.00 and your vehicle will be tested in our facility based in Folkestone, Kent

Whether you’re shopping for a friend or a loved one, it can be difficult to find a gift that you know they’re going to love to receive. The good news is, when it comes to individuals who love their cars, it’s not too difficult to find a few gifts that they’re sure to love. The team at Garage Interiors Inc., here in Wisconsin, knows a thing or two about what car enthusiasts love. That is why, in today’s blog post, we are going to talk about a few gifts that you can take into consideration while shopping this holiday season.
Cleaning Supplies and Products
Maintaining the interior and exterior of a car is something that all car enthusiasts will do. Whether it’s an older model or it’s simply a car that they love, you can’t go wrong with cleaning products and supplies. These are things that they’re going to use or that would make maintaining their car just a tiny bit easier. From products that make getting tough to clean things like bird poop and tree sap of the exterior of the car easier out to supplies that yield streak-free windows, there are countless options, and they’re sure to love receiving every one of them!
As we just finished mentioning, the exterior of the car is something that takes some time to maintain. If the car enthusiast that you’re shopping for is particularly fond of older models, chances are that they’re not driving them all that much. In these instances, having something to protect the exterior of the car is a great idea. A cloth car cover is an affordable gift that they’re sure to love and frequently use.
The appearance of the car, both interior and exterior, is something that car enthusiasts are always working to maintain. Even so, it can be tough to get into some of those hard-to-reach spots. In these instances, a car detailing package is the perfect gift to give. Let a professional spend some time cleaning both the interior and exterior of the car so it looks spick-and-span!
Tools & Toolbox
Another great idea for car enthusiasts is a tool box or tools that they can use when working on their car. There are so many different tools available for them to use while tinkering on a car, it can be tough to keep them organized. Finding a nice toolbox for them to store all of these tools in is a gift that they will not only love, but use! If they already have a toolbox, finding a tool that they don’t already have or an accessory that makes working on cars just a little bit easier is an option you could take advantage of.
Fun Gadgets and Accessories
There are so many different gadgets that have surfaced in the last couple of years, you’d be surprised what you can find when shopping! In regards to cars, there are fun items for just about everyone and for countless circumstances. Here in Wisconsin, for example, snow is something that everyone is going to have to deal with. There are now a handful of products that are designed to make cleaning snow off the windshield just a little bit easier. There are also phone mounts, electric blankets, and so much more that you’d be surprised to find exist. These unique items make for great gifts, and they’re also something that your loved one is sure to use.
Garage Organization Solutions
When you have a car that you love, you can guarantee it’s going in the garage at the end of the day. Unfortunately, most of us get a little carried away with the amount of junk and stuff that we store in our garages. With this build up of “stuff” in the garage, the chances of something falling on the car, scratching it, or denting it are pretty high. Aside from that, you don’t always have tons of room to work on the car when you’ve got junk everywhere. If this sounds like the garage of the car enthusiast that you’re shopping for, consider purchasing a garage organization solution for them. Garage Interiors has a wide variety of storage solutions that you can choose from. Whether they’d benefit from cabinets that help clean up the space or they’re in need of a workbench to tinker on projects, we’ve got you covered! The best part is, any of these solutions is something that your loved one will appreciate and adore.
Shop Garage Interiors
There are so many fantastic ways that you can splurge on your loved one this holiday season, and Garage Interiors hopes to be a part of the plan. Whether it’s garage storage or a garage flooring solution, you can count on us to provide you with all of the information that you need to find the right storage option.

Need for Speed III Hot Pursuit
1. Quick Facts
Developer: Electronic Arts Canada
Publisher: Electronic Arts
Release date: some day on some month of the year 1998
Platforms: PlayStation, PC
In this 3rd version of the Need For Speed franchise you will hit the streets in more then a dozen of supercars and race them on a variety of tracks and the returning of police pursuits is a major part of gameplay. Hot Pursuit remains focused in racing using exotic sports cars, but features races that primarily take place in locations within North America, including varied settings and climates. In addition, police AI is significantly improved over its predecessor, utilizing several tactics to stop both the player and opponent.
There's an all-new Hot Pursuit mode wherein you scorch the streets on either side of the law: elude the fuzz as a speeding motorist or enforce justice from a police patrol vehicle. You also can download more cars and tracks from the Need for Speed III Web site. This game supports hardware acceleration, but you can play it software-rendered too. In the demo version, you race against the other cars (no Hot Pursuit mode).
There are a few great different kinds of gameplay. You have the choice of playing it in Single Player mode, Career play and over the internet. In Single Player mode you can only play the levels that you have already opened while playing your Career mode. There is no damage or anything that can effect your car which is nice to practise with. In Career Mode you can pay money to enter tournaments and earn money depending on the amount of skill you have and how well you placed compared to the other racers. Trophies are won as well. On the internet (the game supports one or two players with a modem or serial connection) you can find new cars that are not shipped with the original game and you can also play people who you have never met who have more skills than the computer most of the time. It is also possible to play over LAN (up to eight players ).
I think I can best describe Need for Speed III as something that looks like a top-of-the-line sports car, but drives like an average US sedan – vague, imprecise and without driver feedback. But, that kind of car seems to please millions of drivers who want something that gets the job done with little fuss and excitement, and if you're one of those, then NFS III: Hot Pursuit will deliver what you desire. But if it's sophisticated, realistic sports car thrills and spills you're after, you'll probably be left wanting.
2. Modes (four different modes)
Single Race: is just that – a one-off race against a variety of computer opponents.
Hot Pursuit: is where the player races another driver around a cop-infested track with a simple mandate: cross the finish line with no tickets. This is definitely great fun, and is enhanced with a "scanner" that picks up police radio chatter and lets you know what the "good" guys are up to so you can take avoiding action if need be. The police AI is pretty good, and they try to bump you off the road and even set up roadblocks in an attempt to catch you. And if they do that more than three times, it's off to virtual jail you go.
Knockout: is a straightforward race where the driver who finishes last is eliminated. Eight drivers start the tournament – only one can win it.
Tournament: is an eight-round championship in which drivers compete for points. The better the finishing position, the more points scored – and the driver who has scored highest by the end of the final round wins. Driver AI is very good on this and all races, and provides a good challenge to even the most hardcore of racing fans.
3. Cars Like previous NFS games, there is a stable of highly desirable cars and these cars are categorized into three classes, essentially giving the player three different categories of racing. All cars are divided into classes "A", "B" and "C", based on vehicle performance. The list of cars included in Need for Speed III consists of luxury sports cars, ranging from street-legal models to racing models. While Ferrari and Mercedes models are included in game, it is interesting to note they are not available in police pursuit modes. It should also be noted that varied versions of Hot Pursuit feature different sets of cars. Official cars featured in the game include the following:
Aston Martin DB7 (PC version only)
Chevrolet Corvette (C5)
El Niño (bonus car)
Ferrari 355 F1 Spider
Ferrari 550 Maranello
Ferrari 456M GT
Ford GT Falcon (PC, Australian version only)
Italdesign Nazca C2 (PS version only)
Italdesign Scighera (PC version only)
HSV VT GTS (PC, Australian version only)
Jaguar Sports XJR-15 (bonus car)
Lamborghini Diablo SV
Mercedes Benz SL 600 (PC version only)

'98 Indy 500 Pace Car (Based on a Chevrolet Corvette C5) (PC, Wal-Mart version only)
Pursuit Chevorlet Corvette
Pursuit Lamborghini Diablo SV (bonus car)
Pursuit El Niño (bonus car)
There are eight different tracks to race the cars on, with bonus tracks available for players with the skills to unlock them. All tracks are circuits.

Employees often use their own cars for work, usually claiming expenses in the form of a mileage allowance to cover the costs. While it is up to the employer to decide how much to pay by way of mileage allowances, and indeed whether to pay a mileage allowance, it is the taxman who decides what can be paid tax-free.
The approved mileage allowance payments (AMAPs) system allows employers to make tax-free mileage payments to employees up to the `approved amount’. This is found by multiplying the business mileage for the year by the rate per mile for the vehicle in question. Approved rates are set not only for cars but for vans, motorcycles, and bicycles too.
The approved rates are currently as follows:
For tax purposes, the rate for cars and vans drops from 45p per mile to 25p per mile once the employee has been paid for 10,000 business miles in the tax year. For National Insurance, the rules are different – the 45p rate can be paid NIC-free regardless of how many business miles the employee undertakes in the tax year.
Ray is an employee. He uses his own car for business and in the 2017/18 tax year undertakes 14,755 miles in his own car.
Under the AMAPs system, the tax-free `approved’ amount is £5,688.75 ((10,000 miles @ 45p) + (4,755 miles @ 25p)).
Paying mileage allowances at the taxman’s approved rates is the simplest option from a tax perspective – there are no tax consequences and the payments can be ignored by the employer and the employee.
If the mileage payments made by the employer exceed the approved amount, the excess (the `taxable mileage profit’) is taxable and must be notified to HMRC on the employee’s P11D (in section E), unless the employer has opted to payroll the mileage profit. So, if in the above example, Ray was paid 50p per mile, he would receive a mileage payment of £7,377.50 - £1,688.75 more than the approved amount. He would be taxed on the `profit’ of £1,688.75.
Where the allowances paid by the employer are below the approved amount, or if the employer does not make mileage payments, the employee can claim tax relief for the difference between the amount actually received (if any) and the approved amount. The relief can be claimed either on the employee’s tax return or on form P87.
Employees can also be paid a tax-free passenger payment of 5p per passenger per mile for each fellow employee to whom they give a lift, as long as the journey is a business journey for the driver and passengers alike.

WASHINGTON, DC, June 20, 2015 (ENS) – The Obama Administration is proposing standards for heavy and medium-duty trucks and buses that are expected to improve fuel efficiency by one-third and cut carbon emissions to fight climate change, while fortifying U.S. energy security and inspiring innovative technologies.
The standards proposed Friday by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, NHTSA, would cover model years 2021-2027, and apply to semi-trucks, large pickup trucks and vans, and all types and sizes of buses and work trucks.
“Once upon a time, to be pro-environment you had to be anti-big-vehicles. This rule will change that,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx. “In fact, these efficiency standards are good for the environment – and the economy. When trucks use less fuel, shipping costs go down. It’s good news all around, especially for anyone with an online shopping habit.”
The product of three years of extensive testing and research, the proposed vehicle and engine performance standards are expected to lower carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by roughly one billion metric tons.
They are projected to cut fuel costs by a total of about US$170 billion, and reduce oil consumption by up to 1.8 billion barrels over the lifetime of the vehicles sold under the seven year program.
These reductions are nearly equal to the greenhouse gas emissions associated with energy use by all U.S. residences in one year.
The total oil savings under the program would be greater than a year’s worth of U.S. imports from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, OPEC, each year.
The proposed standards are cost effective for consumers and businesses, delivering short payback periods for truck owners. The buyer of a new long-haul truck in 2027 would recoup the investment in fuel-efficient technology in less than two years through fuel savings.
“We’re delivering big time on President Obama’s call to cut carbon pollution,” said EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy. “With emission reductions weighing in at one billion tons, this proposal will save consumers, businesses and truck owners money; and at the same time spur technology innovation and job growth, while protecting Americans’ health and our environment over the long haul.”
Officials say come current technologies that would help meet the new standards include improved transmissions, engine combustion optimization, aerodynamic improvements and low rolling resistance tires.
The proposed standards are designed to be flexible, allowing banking and trading emissions credits for most manufacturers, and providing the opportunity for businesses to choose the most cost-effective path to meeting the standards.
Air pollution control agencies welcome the proposal, says Bill Becker, executive director of the National Association of Clean Air Agencies, NACAA, which represents air agencies in 41 states, the District of Columbia, the U.S. territories and 116 localities. “These reductions will benefit, literally, every community across the nation,” he said.
“Its benefits are substantial, outweighing costs 10 to one. The rule will reduce GHG emissions by one billion tons and could yield deep cuts in other air pollutants, such as smog-forming emissions, fine particles and air toxics, all of which cause serious health problems and premature death,” said Becker.
“The beauty of the proposal is that the cost of the necessary improvements, which are generally off-the-shelf technologies, will be paid for by the savings associated with the increased fuel efficiency – about one-third better than today – in a matter of a couple of years,” he said.
Bob Perciasepe, now president of the Center for Climate and Energy Solutions, served as EPA deputy administrator from 2010-2014. He said, “Transportation is second only to electricity as a source of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. That’s why it’s important to keep improving the fuel economy and reducing the harmful emissions of America’s cars and trucks.”
Trucking industry leaders offered support for this second round of greenhouse gas and fuel efficiency rules for commercial trucks, but expressed concern that the requirements may result in the use of certain technologies on vehicles before they can be fully tested.
ATA Vice President and Energy and Environmental Counsel Glen Kedzie said, “We believe this rule could result in the deployment of certain technologies that do not fully recognize the diversity of our industry and could prove to be unreliable. This unreliability could slow not only adoption of these technologies, but the environmental benefits they aim to create.”
“To prevent this, truck and engine manufacturers will need adequate time to develop solutions to meet these new standards,” he said.
The new proposal builds on fuel efficiency and emissions standards already in place for model years 2014-2018, which will result in emissions reductions of 270 million metric tons and save vehicle owners more than $50 billion in fuel costs.
These standards have been successful, says the EPA, pointing to higher truck sales in model years 2014 and 2015 due in part to improved fuel efficiency.
For the first time, the agencies are proposing efficiency and carbon emissions standards for trailers, not including mobile homes. The EPA trailer standards would begin to take effect in model year 2018 for some trailers, while NHTSA’s standards would be in effect as of 2021, with credits available for voluntary participation before then.
Technologies for trailers, such as aerodynamic devices, lightweight construction and self-inflating tires, can reduce total fuel consumption by tractor-trailers, while allowing owners to recover their costs in less than two years through fuel savings, the agencies estimate.
Medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles now account for about 20 percent of greenhouse gas emissions and oil use in the U.S. transportation sector, although they only account for about five percent of vehicles on the road.
Globally, oil consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from heavy duty vehicles are expected to surpass those of passenger vehicles by 2030.
Through the G-20 and discussions with other countries, the United States is working with other major economies to encourage progress on fuel economy standards in other countries to improve global energy and climate security by reducing reliance on oil.


What our customers say about us
"Hi Charlie, Sincere thanks to you & your Team for the professional, courteous & hassle free manner with which my purchase was concluded. My new Jag is excellent. The Collection offers a first class service & is a genuine pleasure to deal with, carry on the excellent work!" Best regards Wayne
"Charlie it has been an absolute pleasure dealing with you and your company, so happy with my aston martin vanquish, and i would not be afraid to recommend you to anyone I come across, 5 star service. Thanks." TW
“Hi Charlie. Just to say thank you for a stress free purchase. I would normally buy from a main dealer so good to meet a dealer who does what he said he would. Thanks again.” Roger -
"Thanks again for all your help in buying the Alfa Quadrifoglio -
"A new experience for myself buying a car online without seeing it due to current government guidelines and travel restrictions. What can I say other than a truly professional service with a very personal feel buying from the Collection. Charlie was only a call or message away at all times to answer any questions or provide me with photo’s/videos of the vehicle. Car arrived via transporter in immaculate condition. Highly recommend!" Liam.
"Sincere thanks to you & your Team for the professional, courteous & hassle free manner with which my purchase was concluded. My new Jag is excellent. The Collection offers a first class service & is a genuine pleasure to deal with, carry on the excellent work!" WM
"After over 30 years in Sales I know through experience how important it is to have openness and trust between customer and supplier. When I bought my 2013 Range Rover Autobiography (Rosie) in March 2020 I had already test driven a number of them so in a sense the car Charlie had for sale was just one of many. Whilst Rosie ticked all of the boxes the key differentiator for me and the reason I chose to buy from Charlie was the fact that he and his team came over as being genuine and demonstrated good all round knowledge of Range Rovers which built confidence and trust in The Collection. The point being that whilst I bought Rosie (a lump of metal as my wife often states) I also bought into the belief that Charlie and his team would see me right should problems occur in the future (Rosie is a Range Rover for heaven sakes). Eight months on from buying Rosie this belief has been proven to be sound given the fact that we have worked through a number of issues in good heart and Charlie and his team have always gone the extra mile (no pun intended) to deliver the highest quality warranty, customer service and satisfaction. I would buy again from Charlie without hesitation and recommend The Collection to anybody who was in the market for a prestige car." Neil from the town of roundabouts Milton Keynes.
"Everyone is doom and gloom during lockdown, but Charlie at The Collection managed to source me a lovely low mileage Macan. He collected it, got it tidied and cleaned and delivered it to my door in just a few days! An excellent service, thanks. We’ll use you again!" NA
“Charlie has a fabulous collection of high end vehicles, all immaculately maintained, unique and fairly priced. The whole experience in purchasing my Aston Martin was first class, from the extensive test drive (rather than your usual 10 minute run around the block) to the honest information around servicing costs and common faults. Special mention must go to the effort these guys put into prepping their vehicles, with nothing leaving the premises in anything other than exemplary condition. As case in point, my car was not only fully valeted, but developed a small fault right before I took delivery; the team worked flat out to rectify this so I could get the car in time for the weekend. I have already recommended The Collection to a friend of mine and no doubt I’ll be back myself in the future; thank you Charlie and the team.” Tom M
"I am writing to let you know how pleased I am with my new Jaguar. I thought your garage was pristine and well laid out, all your cars were interesting propositions, rare and immaculate, the quality of each was exceptional and it was obvious to me you try hard to source well looked after, even cherished cars, some of which are many years old and in mint condition. Mine in particular was a fair price and in unbelievable condition, it gets comments everywhere I go.The whole buying experience was effortless and you and your staff were friendly and helpful. The only way to improve the experience would be to expand your operation further so more people can choose you for their next interesting luxury vehicle.I know I was at the low end of the scale buying a 14 year old Jag XJ but the whole setup and experience was five stars. Simply superb." Toby
"Dear Charlie. This is a quick note to say buying my car from you at The Colection was a pleasurable experience -
“Hi Charlie, just wanted to say how very pleased we are with the Range Rover HSE Sport we purchased yesterday. It looked great from the pictures and write-
“Hi Charlie. Thank you so much for finding my dream car for me! I know I was a difficult customer -
“Hi Charlie. Thanks for your help in supplying the Mercedes SL500 in such fantastic condition. It's rare that you get a car that's even better than described. It's always a worry when travelling such a distance (over 300 miles) to purchase a car, I need not have worried though as the car is truly in great condition. Very easy and pleasurable experience. Would not hesitate to recommend you to anyone.” Bill
“I felt I compelled to write a review for “The Collection” after the quality of service I received while purchasing a Scirocco R in excellent condition. The honesty and support from Charlie was unlike anything else I have experienced in the industry -
Collection of the car was incomparable to any other dealership thanks to the full professional valet the car received and the exclusiveness of the imposing location it was parked at. The product of the two being an extraordinary experience I won’t be forgetting.
Overall, 3 months on, I am extremely pleased with my purchase and with “The Collection” for the continued support over this amount of time.” C K, Scirocco R
“Never having owned an Aston Martin before I found the prospect of buying from a franchised AM dealer rather daunting. By contrast I found my dealings with Chris and Charlie to be very much less taxing. Charlie dealt promptly with my queries and is clearly well used to dealing with the more fastidious car buyer. The car was beautifully prepared and the few minor niggles spotted at the dealer inspection were all rectified before delivery. I would have no hesitation recommending the Collection. A most enjoyable buying experience.” Andrew B. Somerset.
“Home safe and sound and delighted with the GTC. All went smoothly with the change over with John your driver at Preston and he was very helpful. I also just wanted to say thanks for the professional manner in which you handled the sale of your Bentley and dealt with the trade in on my car. It's always a risk buying something 'blind' but as I was in Scotland it was really the only way I could manage it time wise and in the end the car is exactly as you described and I am delighted with it and thoroughly enjoyed the drive home! Hope to be in touch next time I am looking to change.” All the best. Mark
“Many thanks for today. I am delighted with the evoque. I really appreciate the way you conduct your business. I will reward you with all my future loyalty whenever I require my cars from now on.” Regards David
"Hi Charlie, just a quick email to say how pleased I am with the range rover. I must say buying from you was a pleasure, straight forward and hassle free, great job." Regards Bob
"Hi Richard – I just wanted to say thanks very much for making my car swap such a straight forward and enjoyable process. And for showing me how to work the RR’s many features and especially for syncing my phone (which works brilliantly). I would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone considering changing their car similarly. Good luck with moving my Porsche onto a more grateful owner." Kind regards Hilary
“Would happily recommend Charlie and his team. Helped me to buy my dream Aston at a very fair price. Being an Aston there has been a few technical hitches that Charlie has dealt with quickly and helpfully. Loving the car!" Best wishes. Gary.
“I would throughly recommend buying a car from The Collection They have a great selection of seriously high quality cars and their customer services is direct class. Their pricing is very fair and I wouldn’t hesitate in using them again." Richard Z.
“Dear Charles Just wanted to thank you very much. I am so pleased with the Bentley Arnage T You sold me last week It truly is a beautiful car Drives fantastic A pleasure dealing with you Hope to deal again in near future.Thanks again.” Trevor
“Many thanks to Charlie and The Collection. A very easy and pleasant transaction. The car is immaculate as described. All in all a pleasure to do business with honest, efficient, helpful and courteous. These guys come highly recommended and would use again without question.” PY
“Great people to deal with, very pleased with the deal, smooth transaction and excellent communications. No quibbles over a couple of post-
“Hi Charlie, just a note to say how happy and pleased I am with the car I bought from you. Buying a car without seeing it from 200 miles away was a little daunting but it appeared exactly as you described it, Superb! Also could you thank the driver who was polite and courteous, (he also loved my car). I will not hesitate to call you for my next set of wheels and have recommended you to my friends and family. My thanks again to you and your team at The Collection.” KL

I had some work done on my car in November and December that was not up to the standard I had come to expect. The owner has more than made up for any problems I was having. It is refreshing to find someone who takes responsibility for any work done on a car.
Great service at a great price (Canadian Tire wanted four times the price to resolve the same issue).
Absolutely amazing shop! Could not ask for better customer service! Fair and honest. Would recommend!
I was referred by my best buddy about 8 years ago who always raved about their professionalism and friendly service. Mark and his team have kept all my cars "running like tops" through the years. They specialize in imported vehicles and are very fair and honest in their quotes and workmanship. I have referred many others and will continue to do so in the years ahead! They exceed my expectations of any car repair shop!! Keep up the FANTASTIC work!! Cheers!
Best mechanics in Oakville. Been taking my car there for the past few years and could not recommend them enough. Fair prices and great service.
Best shop and best people....have been going there for years and have recommended them to all of my friends....no one has ever been disappointed...rave reviews every time....Jason and Judy are a treat to do business with.....
If I could give 6 stars I would! Their customer service is the best I've seen in a long time. A friend recommended OAC to me after hearing about the issues I had with my Jeep and that another shop couldn't figure out what the problem was. I brought it to OAC and the guys diagnosed the issue right away. There were some issues with a part that was installed by another shop and OAC went above and beyond to get my Jeep on the road again! Thank you!!
Great service without dealership markups
Their knowledge and honesty in maintaining my car is what keeps me
coming back to them.. I've been a client for more that 10 years.
I now have moved away from Oakville to the Vaughan area but I will drive the distance for all their automotive sevice..
Thankyou Jason & Mark !!
I mixed up my appointment(booked at a completely different shop by accident) and they managed to fit me in right on the spot. 2 machanics jumped on board to get me in and out!
Couldn't ask for a better mechanic. Mark is phenomenal. He always gives you options that fit what you need and his service times are awesome. All my vehicles go to OAC and I'm happy to have them as my mechanics.
They were recommended to me by family and I am now recommending them to family. If you want honest work at a fair price then Mark is your guy.
I've been going to OAC for almost 20 years after being referred. Not only is their work outstanding, but OAC is also an exception to the (sadly) general rule regarding the industry, as they are honest to the max.
I would refer anyone to Jay and Mark at OAC!
My only negative comment is as more and more people are recognizing OAC's stellar work, it's sometimes getting harder to book in next day.
But a great job is always worth the wait!
I've been bringing all of my cars to this team for years. their service is top notch! They take the time to learn my vehicle history, Never try to upset to unnecessary services. The Techs in the back are willing to show you the problem before work is executed. I can't say enough about these guys. Judy - in the front is a compassionate individual who always remembers you as a person - rather than just a customer. I trust nobody else with my modified Escalade.
You won't be disappointed!
Mark, Jason, and rest of OAC are the only ones
who I trust completely to work on my car. I send all my family and friends to them.
Good service. Small business. These guys know what they're doing. I moved to Mississauga, but still make the drive to have my major repairs and regular maintenance done by them. I love that Mark is willing to talk talk me through the various repairs that are needed - suggesting different options. My vibe had issues with the Oxygen sensor, I asked if he could simple give it a clean instead of me having to buy a new one. He did just that, fixed the issue (engine light on) saving me money on buying a new part :) As a person that is wary of mechanic shops, I am happy to go to one I can trust - OAC Auto. One year I did a huge amount of travelling in my car, and was frequently getting Oil changes. I used Canadian Tire, Jiffy Lube, Valvoline, and OAC all in a short period of time, and ended up getting fed lies about my Transmission fluid being broken down and dirty, from all except OAC. I ended up asking a friend about it after having it done, and he let me know there was nothing wrong with it, and showed me what it should look like. I was actually starting to think something was wrong with my transmission.. was great to know that OAC has never tried to scam me on Transmission fluid. I've always been able to verify what they've said to me, and in some cases they'll take me into the back and show me what the problem is, which to me is a sign of a great mechanic shop. I've given these guys some interesting and unusual challenges in the past when weird things happen to my car -, they always find a way to solve the problem. Anyways, I have too many stories to count. I've been using these guys for at least 7 years now. I will keep going back.
An honest mechanic? You bet. Jay is Awesome! These guys know what they are doing and will try to keep your costs down while doing great work. Never been disappointed - always on price, on time and done right. Oh and the new location could not be more convenient for me. Drop the car off, and literally just walk across the road to the Bronte GO station. Perfect.


When you’re in the market for buying a car, taking your dog into consideration is necessary to make your choice.
Leaving your dog behind simply because your car isn’t well suited to your dog riding along does not leave a very great feeling.
As a dog owner, you’re obviously looking to make sure that you tick the boxes of comfort and safety for your dog.
Car rides are perhaps one of the most favorite pastimes of dogs. Hanging their head out the window with their mouth open and the breeze blowing in their face.
This is absolutely one of the most magical moments that you can offer your dog.
To select the perfect car for your dog irrespective of size, here are some things to look it for:
Dogs always want to be close to their owners, this is especially true for lap dogs. This is why the interior space of a car is one of the most important aspects to consider.
If you have a German Shepherd, you wouldn’t be checking out cars with low roofs and minute interior spaces of course.
The features of the interior space are important too. If your dog typically likes to sit on car rides, then going for a car with attached, fold-down seating is a great idea.
Attached seating allows your dog to be seated when your car is moving as against bucket seats. Bucket seats make it appear as though your car has more interior space to allow for your dog to move, but your dog would have a very difficult time balancing.
This, of course, poses danger especially when you’re going downhill or when you’re on the highway.
The amount of trunk space that a car has is important for the average buyer but it is even more critical for dog owners.
Most of the time, dog owners lie to travel with ether dogs strapped into the passenger seat with a harness. However, good boot space is essential so that you have an option for your dog to travel in the rear compartment.
Usually, you can easily determine the volume of the boot space of any car and it is typically calculated in liters. It involves two calculations; volume with the rear seats down and the figure for the boot with the rear seats up.
Some cars come with ratio seating and this feature allows you to let down a part of the rear seats with one or two others still upright.
This way, you can increase space for storage and still accommodate a passenger in the rear seats. The most common ratios are 60/40 or 50/50.
If you would be driving with your dog often or you would like your rear seats to remain in the reclined position most of the time to create space for your dog, then the boot volume with the seats up should factor heavily into your decision.
Considering the space of the boot itself so that you can be sure that the volume stated actual offers sufficient floor area is important too.
You definitely want a trunk that offers more than a narrow area with high head height.
Looking out for the safety of your dog is very similar to looking out for children. Before going ahead to make a purchase, you need to ensure that the car safety features are up to par.
Other features include smart airbags; this would ease your worry about your dog if you’re involved in an accident. Smart airbags are able to detect when they should deploy the airbag, basing this judgment on whether it would do more harm or more good.
Anti-lock brakes and forward-collision warning are features that you should check for too. If your dog is only learning how to ride in a car, anti-lock brakes help to avoid accidents if you get distracted.
Seeing Out Space
While you should, of course, allow your dog to stick their head out the window, having them stick it out the whole way is not a very great idea. This can lead to accidents and there is the possibility of some particle blowing into your dog’s eye.
However, dogs like the feel of fresh air on their face when they are riding in a car, so, you should go for a car whose rear or bolt windows can be cracked open and controlled from the front of the car.
Just like people, dogs are more prone to being car sick when they cannot see where they are going. They would also feel unhappy, so going for a car that they can look out of and face the direction of travel is ideal.
A rear sunroof is also a great feature that would allow fresh air and sunlight to get in.
There is a reason why going for cars that offer fold-down seating options is advised for you and your dog. Fold in seats come in very handy especially on toes like a weekend hike or visiting the beach.
Apart from being able to down the seat, thus allowing your dog sufficient space to lie down, you would also be able to protect your seats from water damage, fur, and excess mud.
Dogs are typically known for shedding fur especially with changes in season. Fold-down seats allow you to prevent exterior damage to your seat cushions.
Your car remains clean and you save money on having to clean your car frequently.
When looking out for features, ensure that you are getting the best deal on cars such as 0% APR financing deals. This way, you don’t incur any extra debt and every ride is an exciting road trip for your dog and you, their beloved companion.


When 23-year-old rookie Austin Cindric ran a thrilling race to win the 2022 Daytona 500 in a wild finish, he debuted the new, highly anticipated NASCAR Next Gen race car. While the engine features the same pushrod V8 engines as outgoing NASCAR cars, one critical aspect changed: power. After a chorus of calls for more horsepower, NASCAR announced a 670 hp engine package, giving the 2022 Next Gen cars the extra juice to fuel excitement for a new era of racing.
As the demand for powerful engines grows among NASCAR and other racing organizations, engine manufacturing techniques have raced forward, too. This article profiles 5-axis CNC machining, an exacting component manufacturing process capable of producing increasingly powerful race engines.
What is 5-axis CNC machining?
During 5-axis machining, a CNC machine can move a part or tool on five different axes simultaneously. This functionality differs from 3-axis techniques that only operate on three primary axes: X, Y, and Z. With 5-axis machines, the two additional A and B axes allow us to approach the part from all directions.
- Uses five axes instead of three
- Offers a multi-directional approach
- Increases the complexity of movement
As a result of these capabilities, 5-axis CNC machining can achieve the unique shapes and tight tolerance requirements that contribute to powerhouse engine performance.
Advantages of 5-axis CNC machining
Five-axis CNC machining is an advanced component manufacturing process that can help produce more complex and intricate parts, save costs, and expedite lead times. Learn more about these three primary advantages below.
- Produces more complex and intricate parts – With two additional axes of motion, 5-axis CNC machining can produce highly exacting components for more powerful engines with less tooling and equipment adjustments than other machining methods.
- Saves costs – Five-axis CNC machining can also keep your engine manufacturing project costs down, thanks to shorter setup time and less labor required to adjust the machines.
- Expedites lead times – With shorter cycle times, a 5-axis CNC machine can also produce race engine parts and other components fast, often completing them quicker than alternative machining techniques.
In the next section, we’ll introduce you to two industry-leading 5-axis equipment partners we trust to help us produce timely and accurate components for a more powerful racing engine.

Used Porsche Turbo S: Porsche is one of the world’s most renowned luxury car brands. This German automaker has been making iconic sports cars for decades. Some of their most iconic models include the 911 and Cayenne, while others are more contemporary, such as the Taycan. Porsche is also known for its involvement in motorsports, producing cars for competitions throughout Europe and the world. If you’ve always been intrigued by the company’s vehicles but don’t know much about them, here’s a guide for you.
What You Should Know About Porsche ?
Before purchasing a Porsche, be sure to read up on its service history. Some models have problems with the DME relay, which causes the engine to shut down. Other problems can be more serious, like the fuel injection system not working. In addition, rust damage can be a problem, so it’s important to examine the entire car for rust damage. If the car has rust problems, they’re not necessarily a deal breaker, but it’s something to be aware of.
Porsche has made many significant changes over the years, including renaming some of its cars. It also established a new headquarters in Reno, Nevada, and launched its first ever public offering. Porsche also produces the 968, a faster cousin of the 944 and 928. It’s the last front-engine model produced by the company. Its successor is the Porsche Panamera, which is a four-door sports sedan. It ships with a 4.8-liter V8 engine on the base model.
Why Should I Buy a Porsche Turbo S ?
The Porsche Turbo S is a high-performance sports car that redefines fast and fun. With a 3.7-liter flat-six, the turbocharged engine is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 in a mere 10.6 seconds. Its PDK transmission is perfect for combining the power of a flat-six with the nimble handling of a Porsche.
The Porsche Turbo S features a world-class launch control system. This system varies the engine response according to the driver’s choice. It is also equipped with innovative driver modes. These modes adjust the car’s throttle response and steering feel for the best possible performance on the track. Furthermore, the 911 Turbo S has a sports exhaust system for a more exciting driving experience.
Another reason to buy a Turbo S is its ability to withstand extreme conditions. Its engine, which is designed for Le Mans competition, is highly refined and will handle any situation. This car will keep you comfortable even in 25-degree temperatures. Click here to view the best inventory of Porsche Taycan Gts Sedan
Porsche Turbo S Features and Performance

Before buying a used Porsche, it’s best to do a thorough inspection. A pre-purchase inspection can help you avoid paying thousands of pounds in repair costs. If you’re unsure about the condition of the car, you can always consult an independent specialist. These experts can perform a thorough check of the car and can often be found for less than the price of a tank of fuel. Finally, it’s best to research your options and to decide what you’re going to use the car for.
If you’re looking to purchase a used Porsche Turbo S, you’ll want to choose a Porsche dealership that offers a warranty. These dealerships will often offer a warranty that covers mechanical issues. This is especially important if you’re purchasing a car that’s more than 10 years old.

Tractors submerged in floodwater can suffer serious damage if they are not properly cleaned and reconditioned prior to use. Do not attempt to start a flood exposed tractor until it has been properly cleaned and serviced. The engine may start and run, leading you to believe it has escaped damage. Unfortunately, water and dirt can get into bearings and accelerate wear. The real damage will start to show up after a few hours of use. Avoid towing the tractor for any significant distance before it has been cleaned and serviced. Towing will cause transmission wear if water and dirt have gotten inside the transmission.
How extensive the reconditioning effort will be depends on how much of the machine was submerged. You may wish to obtain professional service for tractors that have serious potential damage. If you choose not to seek professional service, the following guidelines will help minimize damage to the tractor.
Thoroughly wash off all dirt, oil and grease from the outside of the tractor. This helps prevent getting dirt inside the engine or transmission during further reconditioning work. If you use a pressure washer, be careful not to damage the seal around bearings.
If the water rose no higher than the bottom of the engine or transmission, the potential for damage is relatively minor. On two-wheel drive tractors, damage is typically limited to the front wheel bearings and kingpins or to the pin and bushing in the axle pivot. For front wheel bearings, remove the wheel and bearings from the spindle. Thoroughly clean the spindle with solvent.
Also clean the bearings and repack with fresh grease. If the bearings are old or you doubt their durability, take this opportunity to replace them with new bearings. Reassemble the bearings and hub onto the spindle. Follow the recommendations in your service manual for proper torque on the spindle. For kingpins and other pins and bushings, flush the fitting with fresh grease to force any contaminated grease, water, or dirt out. Clean off any excess grease.
On front wheel assist (FWA) tractors, the front axle drive shaft, axle pivot, the steering knuckle, and the universal joints need to be cleaned and inspected. If the front axle has a breather, there is a chance water may have gotten inside the axle housing. Drain the axle and clean the inside as thoroughly as possible. Refill with fresh lubricant. Clean the universal joints and lubricate with fresh grease. You may want to over lubricate the joint to be sure any water contaminated grease is flushed out. Seals around drive axles should protect the units from water and dirt damage if the seal was intact. If you had a leak around a seal before the flood, there is a possibility that water and dirt have leaked past the seal. Thoroughly clean the exterior of the axle to remove any dirt that may wear against the seal. Avoid spraying high-pressure washers directly into seals as they may push dirt past the seal.
If the water rose as high as the middle of the engine or transmission, the potential for damage is greater. Any engine or transmission seal or gasket is a potential point for water and dirt to leak inside, especially if you noticed an oil leak in that area before. Drain the lubricant from the engine or transmission and inspect for signs of water. If you do not see any water in the oil, you did not have a leak. Refill with fresh lubricant and change the filter. If you observe signs of water in the lubricant, remove the oil pan and clean the engine crankcase or transmission housing thoroughly. Remove and replace all oil filters. Reassemble and refill with fresh lubricant. After a few hours of use, drain and refill again, replacing the filter as well.
If the tractor was completely submerged by floodwater, the potential for damage is high. It is highly likely that water has gotten inside the engine or transmission. The tractor will need a complete overhaul to be absolutely certain that further damage will not occur. If you do not have the shop facilities or expertise to perform these repairs, you may wish to have your dealer provide the service. If you choose to perform the repairs yourself, follow the recommendations below to reduce the risk of damage.
- Thoroughly clean the exterior of the engine. Use a water hose, pressure washer, or steam cleaner. Scrub away any grease deposits with an appropriate engine cleaner.
- Disconnect and remove the battery. The battery may need to be replaced.
- Disconnect the starter and alternator or generator. Disconnect any other electrical wiring and other components connected to the engine. On gasoline engines remove the distributor. Mark all wires so you will know where and how to reconnect them.
- Clean the starter and alternator or generator thoroughly inside and out. Disassemble, wash all components properly, then bake to dry. Your local electric motor repair service can help you with this or may be able to do the service for you. Reassemble when dry and finished. Dissemble and clean the distributor, regulator and any other serviceable component.
- Disconnect the fuel lines to the engine. Remove and discard the fuel filter. Drain all fuel from the tank and dispose of it properly. Rinse the tank with fresh fuel or kerosene and dispose of the rinse. Clean out the fuel lines with compressed air to be sure they are clean. Be very careful to avoid fire hazards when working with the fuel or fuel systems.
- Clean the radiator cooling fins. If the cooling system was unsealed, drain the radiator, flush with water, and replace the coolant.
- Remove the spark plugs or fuel injectors. Remove the air cleaner, air cleaner housing, and intake manifold. On gasoline engines remove the carburetor. Remove the muffler and exhaust manifold.
- Drain the engine crankcase, remove the oil pan and oil filters. Wash out the crankcase with engine cleaner, diesel fuel or kerosene.
- Check to see if you have water in the cylinders. A borescope is a handy tool to inspect the inside of a cylinder. Slowly turn the engine to push any water out of the spark plug or injector holes. You may have to remove the cylinder head to thoroughly clean the inside of a cylinder.
- Coat the cylinder walls, engine bearings, and any other wear surface exposed with a light oil. Let stand a few minutes then slowly turn the engine crankshaft a few times. This will spread oil on the cylinder walls and bearings and help push any fine dirt away. Allow this oil to drain away. Repeat as necessary to fully clean the cylinder walls.
- Reassemble the engine, refill with oil and replace all filters. As you reassemble, be sure to replace all seals and gaskets with new ones. Thoroughly inspect the engine to be sure you have covered everything.
- Start the engine and let it run slowly at first, then bring it up to speed. After a few hours of use, drain the engine oil and refill with fresh oil. Change the filter again.
Transmission (Including Clutch, Differential, Final Drive, and Hydraulic Systems)
- Thoroughly clean the exterior of the transmission. Use a water hose, pressure washer, or steam cleaner. Scrub away any grease deposits with an appropriate cleaner.
- Drain the fluid from the transmission housing. Inspect for signs of water or dirt. Remove and discard the oil filter.
- Remove the transmission oil pan or cover. Thoroughly clean the inside of the transmission housing. If you have the equipment, remove the axles for better access. Do not attempt this if you do not have the proper equipment or training.
- Remove the access panel and inspect the clutch. Carefully clean the clutch if necessary. Most tractors have a dry clutch; be careful not to get oil or grease on it. On some tractors, you must separate the engine and transmission to get access to the clutch. Do not attempt this if you do not have the proper equipment or training. Seek professional help.
- Reassemble the transmission and refill with fresh lubricant. Replace the filter.
- After a few hours of use, drain the lubricant again. Change the filter and refill with fresh lubricant.
- Go over the tractor and lubricate all bearings. Unsealed bearings may require cleaning first. Sealed bearings should not need to be cleaned if the seal is still good.
- Remove any carpet or upholstery from the cab or seat. Wash thoroughly and allow to dry. Remove the lining from the cab, wash and dry completely.
- Wash the inside of the cab with soap and water. Leave open to dry thoroughly.
- Inspect the brakes. Brake pads may need to be replaced.
- Check and lubricate the steering linkage.
- Check any moving part for rust. This includes door hinges and latches, hood latches and hinges, lift arms, movable shields, and any other moving or wear part.
- Remove the fuses and check each circuit for shorts. Electrical wiring must be allowed to dry out. If it appears damaged or corroded, replace. Coat the contacts with a corrosion preventative where appropriate.
Keep a Close Watch!
Once equipment has been reconditioned and returned to service, pay very close attention to its performance over the next few months. If there is any sign of poor performance, have the tractor inspected immediately.
The guidelines provided in these pages are intended to help minimize equipment damage and personal injury. There are no guarantees that the procedures described here will address all potential problems. If you have any doubts about the reliability or safety of a piece of flood damaged equipment, seek trained professional assistance from your equipment dealer.

Butler Performance Inc. - Butler Crate Engines/Builder Kits
Butler produces Pontiac power with its high performance Pontiac crate engines. All engines custom designed and tailored to your application. Get the power and performance you desire with an engine built, dynoed, blueprinted, and customized just for you. You can even get these engines in builder kits ready to assemble. These engines start with high quality parts form many top brands in the industry. Butler then puts them through the "Butler Process", a tried and true method established over many years in the performance and racing industry.
Please take time to see how our engine program works and we will be glad to answer any questions you may have.
Our crate engine and custom engine program has been a mainstay here at Butler. Our skilled machinists and builders have years of experience machining and building engines for all applications from all original looking numbers matching engines, performance versions of these, to high performance street strip muscle car engines that are big on power, fun to drive, and reliable on the street. Our reliability comes from attention to detail in our Butler Process when machining and prepping the block for assembly.
This process is the same no matter if you get a fully built complete engine or a ready to assemble builder kit that you or your choice of builder put together.

More About Butler Crate Engines/Builder Kits
Complete Engine vs Builder Kit
Complete Crate Engine (assembled)
Our complete assemble engines are fully assembled, blueprinted, and dyno tuned ready for installation when received. Our engines include a new aftermarket block, a Butler supplied core block (no core charge) or using your block. Using a customer block does have more steps as the block need to be shipped in or delivered where we can clean it, inspect it, and sonic test it to ensure we are starting with a block worthy of building. We can help with inbound shipping if needed. Those details will be covered more in depth if you decide to take this route in your build.
This type of build normally takes the longest time due to the added services of assembly, the complexity of dyno testing, and the added crating system used to transport a completely assembled engine.
Crate Engine Builder Kit
We can also do a complete engine (Long Block or Short Block) in unassembled kit form that you (or your shop) build. These lead times are short due to the extra services not being done in our shop. These kits can be produced in 14-16 weeks. These kits include the same blocks as a complete engine, fully machined and ready to assemble. We include all the same parts we would use in our assembly shop and ship to you or your chosen shop.
These kits are machined, and blueprinted ready for your final inspection/cleaning and assembly. Here at Butler we do not look at this as competition but rather we are partnering and will provide any technical details you may need including torque specs or assembly procedures and methods.
Custom Engine vs Butler Engine Package
We can build you any Pontiac engine imaginable and have probably already done it. These are custom engines and take a large amount of time on the front end designing and specing out the details. We also ensure that the combinations of parts will produce what is expected. Based on our build history and experience we can almost always deliver what is expected. These take a substantial amount of time testing and tuning. If this is the route you want to go then Butler can accommodate.
We have spent many years making each engine custom designed. During this time we have put together the combinations that simply work and deliver the HP and Torque levels expected. This has lead us to our Butler Packages.
These are more detailed on our site but you can basically select from these packages;
Stealth/Stock Appearing Crate Engines
450-600 HP Crate Engine and Crate Engine Builder Kits
600-800 HP+ Crate Engines and Crate Engine Builder Kits
These have the same core components to make the power expected but still with basic options of carb/efi, paint color, and the other details to accent the look you are desiring. These packages have a faster setup time due to internal components are already spec'd and ready to select the final appearance options.
Your Block or BP Block
We can build your engine or kit using your block or a Butler supplied block. When using a customer block we can help arrange inbound shipping to make the process much easier. Once the block arrives we will thoroughly test it before machining. Butler also has core and aftermarket blocks available. Core blocks are thoroughly tested as well and there is no core charge. Aftermarket block are available in cast or aluminum. Aftermarket blocks are usually 505-535 cuin builds.

Our shop tries our best to keep a reliable build schedule where we can deliver as promised. With that being said, 2020 and 2021 have been trying times due to lack of parts and raw goods industry wide. There is nothing more frustrating for you the customer, and us the builder, than delays and missed delivery dates. This is why Butler Performance has a build schedule with slots scheduled throughout the year. This ensures that a customer that is ready with their deposit will be put into the schedule and given a delivery window they can depend on. As always, if there is anything that holds a build up, we will communicate and make any changes necessary to get back on schedule
Our current Engine Program is booked through the end of 2021 and we will start to schedule for 2022 soon.
Once your build comes up to start we will contact you to make sure your build schedule is ready and final payment arrangements are in place if a deposit only has been made. Another 25% is due before machining starts. Once the machining starts you can expect about 4 weeks shop time for complete engines and 2-3 for engine kits. When the build is finished and ready for crating we will contact you to go over shipping details and get the final payment.
We accept deposits on engines and engine kits and must be paid in full prior to shipping. To lock in your build and be put on the schedule a 50% deposit is required. Payments can be made throughout the process to reduce the final balance before shipping. All major forms of payments accepted as well as wire transfer and some financing options are available.
Contact us for more details on any of these options or with any questions.

With warmer weather creeping-in, it’s time to focus on spring cleaning. As a Hyundai Drive Squad Member, I am happy to share this valuable information with you …
With the cold winter behind us, there is no better time than now to kick start your spring cleaning and get your vehicle cleaned up and ready for the warm weather ahead! Say goodbye to salt stains on your car and floor mats, dirt build up on your windshield and wipers, and household items piled up in your back seat or trunk!
For the month of April, the Hyundai Drive Squad is here to help you spring into SPRING cleaning your vehicle. Get your rubber gloves out; here are some helpful tips for car spring cleaning:
Say goodbye to salt-stained carpets: After a long winter, your car’s carpets are likely to have white stains from road salt. Remove them by using water mixed with white vinegar and scrub the tough stains with an old rag or brush.
Wax every season: Each winter season, your car’s paint colour is dulled by the elements and picks up scratches, so keep it looking clean and new with a liquid spray wax.
Out with the dirt in with the clean: Get out your vacuum to suck up all the dirt and dust in the small corners of your vehicle. Remember to put your seats down to get between the cracks and also vacuum all the cup holders throughout your vehicle as these areas collect dirt, too!
It’s called washing your car, not your dishes: Never use dish soap to clean your vehicle as it will dull and scratch the protective clear coat off your car. Try using Meguiar’s Gold Class Car Wash Shampoo and Conditioner.
Put a break on your brake dust: Get rid of that reddish, brown coloured powder on your wheels caused by normal brake wear. Wipe down your wheels with a cleaning solution safe for alloy wheels (available at any hardware store) and address those hard-to-reach places in between the wheel’s spokes with a scrub brush or rag.
Take a load off: Do you use your car as a storage unit? Be sure to empty out your trunk and back seats of all your winter build up. Removing unnecessary weight also improves fuel efficiency and your car’s handling!
What’s happening under the hood? Cars need a ‘medical’ check-up, too! Every spring, it is a good idea to take your vehicle in for a quick under-the-hood inspection and get an oil change, filter replacement and tire rotation.
Freshen up: After you are finished cleaning your car, add your favourite smelling air freshener to keep your car smelling clean and fresh all spring and summer!
To kick start your vehicle spring cleaning, Hyundai Canada has teamed up with My Bits and Bleeps to offer you a giveaway (valued at over $50) – The ultimate spring cleaning kit for your car includes:

If your motor vehicle has sustained a dent (large or small), it is probable that paintless dent repair could be a viable alternative for repair. Conventionally, repairing dents was a protracted, expensive process that involved days of work at auto body shop near me. With paintless dent repair this procedure has been radically reduced in both cost and time necessities. While paintless dent repair can’t repair every single dent productively, it is effectual in the vast majority of cases. This repair procedure is a great applicant for dent and dings comparable, especially for cars vandalized during hailstorms. The best part is this repair won’t break the bank and, in most cases, can be done in just a few short hours!
When it’s not
As was early mentioned, there are times when paintless dent repair cannot be utilized due to the type of damage sustained. Typically, your motor vehicle will not be a good candidate for this type of repair when the underlying metal has been torn, when sharp edges are entrenched in the dent, when the dent has caused the paint to shaving away or become scratched, when the location of the dent is close to the edge of the panel, or when the same area has been broken and repaired previously.
When PDR Can Save the Day
Dents that have not resulted in paint damage are the most excellent candidates for paintless dent repair. This procedure completely avoids the use of fillers, sanding, and painting, meaning your car can get back on the road faster for half of the cost. Paintless dent repair is also a winner because there is no require trying and matching the repair to the rest of the motor vehicle, which can often be hard to do as older paint may be lighter due to fading. Furthermore, you uphold greater equity in your vehicle as your car still boasts of the unique manufacturer’s paint job. Not to mention, since there is none of the conventional repair requirements, it is less probable you will have future issue with the repair.
The idea of paintless dent repair is undemanding, yet innovative. Once the body person determines that your dent is a good candidate for PDR, he will find the least all-encompassing way to get to the affected area. Typically, this will be via a window or behind inner panels or trim that can be removed for access.
The body person will utilize tools designed especially for removing dents via PDR and ever so cautiously start on the outside and work towards the center of the dent. During this careful process, the dent will be eased out and the metal will return to its unique form.
