Alarmed By Frequent Car Smells? AutoTechIQ Can Help You With That

AutoTech IQ

Bad smells are an age-old problem that affects cars to this day, regardless of how modern they are. Although bad car smells are evident, they can be tricky to track down.. So, we’ll share tips to help you detect the bad smell’s root cause in your car and assist you in getting rid of it. Can I eliminate the smell myself? AutoTechIQ suggests that any odd odor coming from the car needs a professional inspection. An analysis of millions of work orders across North America reveals that the problem is commonly more critical than it appears. Taking your car for a Vehicle Health Inspection is highly recommended; this professional procedure shows a snapshot of your vehicle’s health status, pointing to any damage and smell sources. Visit AutoTechIQ.com and use the shop selector to find the best-suited shop in your area. Shops have three certification levels that you can choose from: Certified, Recommended, and Good Standing. You can find easy-to-digest educational content about car smells and how to fix them on AutoTechIQ.com. And don’t worry, you won’t have to read technical lingo and jargon; we make it friendly. What are the most common car smells? We list common problematic car smells below. If you're experiencing any of those, visit AutoTechIQ.com and find the article that matches your experience. Then, send it to your trusted auto repair shop for reference. My Car Smells Like Burning Oil My Car Smells Like Burning Plastic My Car Smells Like Burning Rubber My Car Smells Like Rotten Eggs What other symptoms should I look for? A distinct smell is often the most dominant symptom, but it might not be the only one. For example, a failed serpentine belt pulley makes a burnt rubber odor and can make a noticeable noise. Reoccurring problems are especially concerning, and it is important to describe the context of these issues to your trusted auto repair shop. Knowing the problem's characteristics helps the professional eliminate up to 90% of the potential root causes, saving you a lot of money for unnecessary diagnostics or repair. What should be my budget when taking my car to an auto repair shop? Traditionally, most car owners follow the service interval recommendation provided by their trusted auto repair shop or just go to the shop when problems arise. Most of the time, the latter is the most expensive way of taking care of your vehicle since it adds to each visit’s cost. Using a preventive maintenance plan from your trusted auto repair shop opens opportunities to discuss future expenses or deferred services. You can start budgeting for future expenses and still save money because preventive maintenance is significantly more cost-effective than paying the repair cost when problems occur. Condition-based inspections take the preventive maintenance concept even further. Your auto repair shop conducts a vehicle inspection every time you drop off your vehicle. The results are compared to previous inspection diagnostics to determine wear and tear patterns. Based on those patterns, the shop discusses the best course of action with you. Why is it important to ask for a Digital Auto Checkup? Many auto repair shops listen to your concern and immediately provide a solution. But, in comparison, when you go to any doctor for a symptom checkup, does the doctor immediately diagnose you? Typically, they don’t do that unless you are in the emergency room. Instead, the doctor will order a vital signs check, blood draw, and other testing procedures. The same goes for your vehicle during car service. First, you establish baseline health before addressing the main symptom. The vehicle’s bill of health is called “Digital Auto Checkup” or “ Digital Vehicle Health Inspection.” What do I get from AutoTechIQ as a car owner?? The majority of car owners dread the appointment at an auto repair shop. To counter that, the shops in AutoTechIQ ’s network put education and professional service as top priorities. Additionally, the shops you’ll find in our business directories meet these criteria: The business has at least 100 Google reviews with an average score higher than 4.5 out of 5. A digital vehicle health inspection is consistently relied upon to examine the health of your vehicle and covers at least 35 topics. The documentation of mint and problem conditions uses well-documented images and videos to give you complete transparency.

News Release

Why People Aren’t Calling Auto Repair Businesses

AutoTech IQ

In case you haven’t noticed, the world of communications is changing. And that includes customer calls and service requests in the auto repair business. In the past, the automotive repair business centered around phone calls and one-on-one interactions with customers. But today’s customers expect more. Digital communication and education are the foundation of today’s successful auto repair businesses. If you haven’t implemented these changes in your shop, learn about why digital tech has replaced yesterday’s phone communication. 7 Reasons Auto Repair Businesses Aren’t Getting Calls The younger generations grew up using technology, which has changed how they interact with businesses. They no longer want to call a business but prefer to communicate via text, view data-driven estimates and pay with online invoices. In other words, they require more transparency and want to understand the particulars of what they are paying for. In fact, in one study, the majority of those surveyed prefer digital communications when getting car repairs. The advent of digital communication not only gives your customers those benefits, but it also helps you build essential trust as you earn their business. Fewer People Want to Talk Because people prefer to do business digitally, they want instant access to the information that will help them decide which business to go to. One survey shows that 80% of all local searches result in a sale. But that same survey explains that the people doing the local search want to easily find the business’s number, address and product offerings. In other words, they want to skip the call — and the wait to speak with someone — and get all the pertinent information from their phone. Not Optimizing the Mobile Experience Because most people use their phones to make purchases and set appointments, the auto repair shops that have a mobile app that allows for easy online booking will attract those customers. No one wants to wait 10 minutes on the phone trying to set an appointment. Instead, they want to log onto the website, choose from the available appointments, and schedule one. An app allows customers to do things on their own schedule and not have to worry about making a decision while someone is waiting on the other end of the line. Lack of Quality Customer Service What’s worse than having to call a car repair shop for an appointment or an explanation about your car’s issues? Dealing with someone on the phone who isn’t helpful or friendly. If your customers must call your shop, it’s important to ensure they speak with someone who shows they care. And forget about old-school sales techniques when explaining the potential repairs. Today’s customers want digital proof of what’s wrong with the car and what it will take to fix it. Give your customers more emphasis on helpful and specific details to gain their trust. Long Wait Times People want access to quick information online, but that doesn’t mean they don’t expect superior service when they do have to call or interact with a technician. A survey shows that 75% of callers won’t leave a voicemail, and 85% of them will not call you back if you don’t answer the phone. And because many auto repair shops have a reputation for long wait times on the phone and in person, it’s something that needs to be addressed. Ideally, car repair shops will reduce call wait times, drop-off wait times, service wait times and the amount of time it takes to complete paperwork — all in addition to offering digital communication to their customers. Lack of Quality Customer Service Did you know that 90% of people use customer service as a factor when deciding whether to do business with a company? And 58% of those surveyed say they will switch companies because of poor customer service. In the automotive repair business, customer service often comes down to whether a business uses digital communications to allow customers to view their car repair options. These digital reports and estimates make customers feel in control and allow for better decision-making. Lack of Transparency Most people don’t know how to fix their own car, and they look for an auto technician they can trust to do the job for them. If a technician doesn’t explain a needed repair — or worse, recommends an unnecessary repair — they aren’t going to gain the trust of their customers. Today’s customers want digital proof of needed repairs from techs like AutoTechIQ-certified auto repair shops, where a vehicle’s bill of health is the basis of their recommendation. They can view digital reports and feel confident they have full transparency when making decisions. Digital Vehicle Inspections Seeing is believing, as the old saying goes, and that’s true when it comes to auto repairs. That’s why digital inspections are the new norm when it comes to auto repairs. These digital inspections show customers the whole picture of their car’s health with videos, high-resolution photos and detailed notes. And once a customer sees for themself what’s needed, they tend to approve two to three times the amount of work than when given verbal explanations. Give Customers the Control and Confidence They Need The auto repair shops that give today’s customers what they need are the shops that will thrive in this new marketplace. If you haven’t yet used digital communications and reports, contact AutoTechIQ now and find the best shop in your area.

This Electric Toothbrush Has Received A 90% Five-Star Review Rating. What Is Making It A Favorite Of Nick Jonas, Kevin Hart And Others?

Bruush Oral Care Inc.

These days when a buyer visits any well-known e-commerce websites such as Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN), eBay Inc. (NASDAQ: EBAY), Walmart Inc. (NYSE: WMT) or Target Corporation (NYSE: TGT) to buy a product, they are often likely to look at the reviews and ratings of the product before making the purchase. In this fast-evolving digital age, studies have shown that 93% of consumers say online reviews impact their purchase decision. In comparison, 94% also said an online review has convinced them to avoid a business. With dozens of similar products on offer nowadays, most customers easily overlook businesses or products with bad reviews or ratings. Having a solid reputation score or positive review can ultimately lead to high sales, and this seems to be a part of the success story of Brüush Oral Care Inc. (NASDAQ: BRSH). With 83% of Gen Z and millennials reporting that they trust online reviews as much as personal recommendations, Brüush’s five-star reviews can surely help sway some consumers to try out this electric toothbrush. The company boasts that its beautifully designed one-of-a-kind electric toothbrush has received more than 90% five-star review ratings with less than a 1% return rate. For comparison, the overall merchandise return rate for U.S. retail sales was slightly over 10% in 2020. From the ratings, one could conclude that Brüush is a favorite of many, including millennials and celebrities. Raving Reviews Interestingly, not only regular customers are giving raving reviews of the company’s electric toothbrush, but also celebrities. Celebrities, including singer, songwriter and actor Nick Jonas as well as comedian and actor Kevin Hart are huge fans and users. “Not just a toothbrush. My wife (Priyanka Chopra) and I both use this - we’re obsessed, and we’ve gifted this to a lot of friends because it’s just the best toothbrush I’ve ever owned, and I’ve owned a lot of toothbrushes,” Nick Jonas told GQ magazine. After trying the company’s toothbrush himself — and loving it — Kevin Hart joined Brüush’s mission to elevate self-confidence through cleaner, whiter teeth — making people laugh along the way. With Nick Jonas, Kevin Hart and millennials giving rave reviews to this brush, is it time to replace your old toothbrush(es) with Brüush? Brushing Out The Competition Built with the highest-quality Sonicare technology, four-week battery life and best-in-class prices, Brüush says it is determined to make a move from manual a no-brainer backed by a brush head refill subscription plan. The plan includes three new brush heads for $18 ($6 per brush head) with free shipping every six months. “We set out to create a better electric toothbrush to make maintaining your teeth easy. We fused industry-leading sonic technology with six cleaning modes and ultra-soft bristles for an effective clean that’s always gentle on your gums. Plus, with our easy refill plan, you’ll never overspend on or forget to change your brush head again,” Brüush said on its website. Apart from the industry-leading technology and high performance, another unique selling point of Brüush could be its standout design language. “The design-forward toothbrush is complemented by new seasonal colors, a vibrant brand personality and exciting collaborations.” To win in today’s physical and digital marketplace, companies are paying closer attention to the needs of millennials, who seem to have a strong connection to colors. From eclipse black to cloud white, blush pink or even tiffany blue, Brüush offers several color options for customers, including millennials who favor bright and energetic colors. Packaging and strong product quality are likely significant contributors to why consumers and celebrities alike love the products, and why they may continue to grow in the oral health sector with other big players like Procter & Gamble Co. (NYSE: PG), Koninklijke Philips NV (AMS: PHIA), and Quip. Learn more about Brüush by downloading the latest research report here About Bruush Oral Care Inc. Bruush Oral Care Inc. is on a mission to inspire confidence through brighter smiles and better oral health.

Colorado Has Just Legalized The Use of Magic Mushrooms

MarketJar

Psychoactive medicine has come a long way in the last couple of years and is not slowing down anytime soon. Gone are the days when hallucinogens conjured up images of tie-dye T-shirts and peace signs. The psychoactive renaissance taking place right now is fueled by governments, science, celebrities and big-time investors. The worsening mental health and substance-abuse crises and the clear benefits of psychoactive-assisted therapy to combat these issues are becoming too big to ignore, creating an unstoppable shift in the way society views psychoactives. Colorado, a pioneer in the recreational MJ space, just became the second state to decriminalize and legalize the use of psychoactives for recreational purposes. Voters passed a ballot initiative during the mid-term election to make it legal for adults to purchase and use psychoactives. Colorado’s bill is creating a domino effect. Right now there are at least 20 different US states and cities working towards decriminalizing the substances. And things could soon reach the federal level. In July, Joe Biden said that he expects regulators to approve psychoactives within the next two years to treat PTSD and depression. Canada is also making strides in legalization. In October, Alberta made history by becoming the first province to regulate psychoactives for the treatment of mental health conditions. The Province’s new regulatory framework is due to take effect January 2023. These changes in regulations come at a time when the national mental health crisis is worsening and in turn, more people are seeking help from alternative treatment providers. According to John Hopkins Medicine, 26% of Americans age 18 and over suffer from a diagnosable mental disorder in a given year, while over 6.7 million people in Canada struggle with mental health issues or illnesses. As psychoactives gain more acceptance, companies within the market stand to benefit, particularly those offering high-quality products and integrated mental health care treatment options at clinics. Leading integrated mental healthcare company Numinus Wellness Inc. (TSX:NUMI) (OTCQX:NUMIF) is focused on the development and delivery of innovative mental health care and access to safe, evidence-based psychoactive-assisted therapies. Numinus has continued to expand its mental health service offerings as well as its network of wellness clinics across Canada and the US. Numinus has already experienced noteworthy revenue growth in Q3 2022, growing nearly 32% year-over-year (YoY), which was primarily driven by the acquisitions of the Neurology Centre of Toronto and Mindspace. The company also saw its gross margin grow by 24.4% in Q3, compared to -2.8% YoY. And with the acquisition of Novamind, which closed in June 2022, Numinus is now one of the highest revenue-producing mental healthcare companies providing psychoactive-assisted therapies, with over $12 million of combined proforma annual revenues. The company will be releasing its fourth quarter 2022 results on November 29 and according to Numinus founder and CEO Payton Nyquvest, Q4 will be “the first quarter demonstrating the power of its larger, cross-border platform." Numinus Wellness also recently launched its Ketamine for Chronic and Serious Medical Illness Program. This new program will first be implemented in Numinus clinics in Utah, British Columbia, and Quebec. The company plans to expand the program to other clinics in the coming months. Numinus' program will include psychoactive-assisted therapy along with additional community support to alleviate patients' physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual suffering and care from healthcare professionals who specialize in severe and chronic medical illnesses. As Oregon and Colorado have now legalized psychoactives, the Biden administration is working to get psilocybin federally approved within the next two years as clinical evidence of their effectiveness in treating mental health disorders grows. It’s only a matter of time and Numinus is ready for expansion.

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/m_aCzxxxWh4 Recent advancements in science show that there is so much you can do as you age to boost brain health. From diet and exercise to social connection, research is piecing together the puzzle of how to best care for your brain to help prevent neurological disease, and how to treat it if it develops. A newly expanded research study from the Michael J. Fox Foundation, The Parkinson’s Progression Markers Initiative (PPMI), is helping scientists better understand what it means to be at risk for brain diseases such as Parkinson’s. Through important contributions from study volunteers – via online questionnaires and at clinical sites around the country -- PPMI is revolutionizing what we know about Parkinson’s today. Would it surprise you to learn that new research points to long-term smell loss as a potential indicator of Parkinson’s? Or, that people who are recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s are the most valuable contributors to this groundbreaking research? There is so much being done to better understand, identify and treat Parkinson’s – the world’s second most common brain disease. And PPMI is helping the field get closer than ever to answering those questions. The Study That Could Change Everything PPMI is on a mission to understand who is at risk for Parkinson’s, who gets it and why. The study’s recent expansion means that anyone over age 18 can help, regardless of whether you have Parkinson’s disease or not. The more people who join PPMI and share valuable health data online, the faster we can change everything about how brain diseases like Parkinson’s are diagnosed, treated and ultimately, prevented.
