| New in Cape business: Lou's Total Car Care - News-Press Posted: 13 Jan 2010 11:52 AM PST 11:27 A.M. — Lou Moralez realizes that his shop is not the only full automotive repair center in Cape Coral. But what he can't figure out is why anyone would take their business any place else. "We're one of the lowest labor rate shops in the area," Moralez said. "We don't have to pay major overhead or royalty fees." Moralez, who owns Lou's Total Car Care, which is located at 2023 Del Prado Blvd., said his rates are anywhere from 15 to 20 percent lower than most shops. "We also have lenders, offer towing, will pickup and drop off (the customer) and will get discounts on rental (cars)," he said. "Anything that helps the individual out we're here for. I can't tell you how many customers have my personal cell phone number." While Moralez said the low rates help bring customers through the door, it's their personal touch that keeps them coming back. "When you go to the big corporations, you're just a number," he said. "Bottom line, you come to our shop and the customers get accustomed to working with an individual." To help assure customers that his mechanics aren't slapping on unneeded repairs, Moralez said he lets them know his mechanics work off salary, not commission. "There are too many shops out there trying to make a dollar," he said. The ASE certified five-garage shop works on both domestic and imports and offers a 13-point vehicle maintenance schedule special for 30,000, 60,000 and 90,000 miles. The special includes: oil and filter change, lubricate chassis, rotate tires and check air pressure, replace air filter, replace fuel filter, fuel system cleaning and induction service, transmission service that changes the fluid and filter, coolant system flush, replacement of spark plugs, break inspection and adjustment, belt and hose inspection, an all fluid check and a complete car physical. The special costs $329 for 4-cylinder vehicles, $359 for 6-cylinder and $389 for 8-cylinder. Moralez said regardless of what the customer brings their automobile in for, they run the make, model, and mileage of the vehicle through a computer program that produces its manufacturer's suggested maintenance recommendations. "The customers are trusting us with their second largest investment," he said. "They trust us with their car and money. I have to make their problems go away." Moralez said he's been in the auto repair business for 35 years and decided to expand his family run business to Cape Coral after realizing many of the customers coming to his Fort Myers location lived in the Cape. He said they work on anywhere from 50 to 75 cars a week in the Cape, despite the economy. While he said some customers are dealing with hardships, he works with them as much as he can, financially, to get their automobile back on the road and running safely. "We're all in this together," he said. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry. Available tools: PDF Newspaper, Full Text RSS, Term Extraction. |
| Monro Has the Right Parts at the Right Time - Bloggingstocks.com Posted: 13 Jan 2010 12:00 PM PST  Monro Muffler Brake Inc. (MNRO), first recommended on March 27, 2009 at a price of $26.01, has pulled-back in recent weeks, but investors should view the retreat as a Buy opportunity, and I'm obviously Reiterating my Buy rating. Here's why: The auto/vehicle repair sector's fundamentals and U.S. economic conditions remain favorable for MNRO. Pinched budgets mean new car sales will not return to normal levels any time soon, which means many Americans will be driving their five-year and eight-year used cars longer, triggering increased maintenance transactions, to Monro's benefit. Ditto regarding the trend toward used car purchases instead of new car purchases, which many Americans can't afford right now. Look for 2010 revenue to increase an excellent 15-18%, after a near-double digit rise in 2009. The First Call FY2009/FY2010 EPS estimates for MNRO are $1.49 to $1.82. The risks with MNRO? Ironically, a better-than-expected U.S. economic recovery would hurt Monro, as it would increase new car sales, eliminating a portion of the company's business. Technically, as noted, Monro's shares have retreated about $3 after hitting a new, 52-week high at/near $35, but the uptrend remains in place; hence, view the pull-back as a Buy opportunity. 2010 Outlook: Monro is a long-term play: Don't Buy MNRO if you're looking to close your position by the end of 2010, as the risk/return is not favorable. Stock Analysis: Monro Muffler Brake Inc. is a moderate-risk stock. If you've already purchased the company's shares, hold them. If not, and you plan to hold MNRO shares longer than one year, consider buying a 25% position in MNRO now; then buy another 25% in one month. Under any circumstance, don't buy more than 50% of your MNRO position before March 2010. Sell/Stop Loss if you were to buy shares in this company: $17. Disclosure: Lazzaro has no positions in stocks, but does own shares in two Pimco Bond Funds: PHDAX and PYMAX. Five Filters featured article: Chilcot Inquiry.
