Customers commenting ”it feels like a themepark,” and enjoying exotic car shows and other community events hosted by I-5 Self Storage. Response has been overwhelmingly positive, with current client, Don Goldman of world famous car tuner, Hennessey Performance, affectionately calling the facility ”a spa for cars.”

I-5 Self Storage offers 24 hour recorded cameras, individual unit alarms, RV, boat, and classic car storage (www.i5selfstorage.com), free move-in trucks, automatic lighting, relaxing music, biometric security, and clean well lit facilities.

Most importantly, our staff has been hired for their remarkable ability to empathize with clients, as Manager Linda Todoroff reflected, “Transitions are often a stressful time and we’re here to help the client in any way we can and make their experience enjoyable.”

“The facility of the Year award is a testimony to Wong’s long struggle to create a first class self-storage facility for Southern California’s customers,” said David Lucas, of Mini Storage Messenger.

A wide variety of indoor and outdoor spaces are available for lease, with over 180,000 rentable SF. Interested tenants are encourage to contact I-5 Self Storage at 714-669-0555, or visit our website at www.i5selfstorage.com.

CTEK, a leading global brand in the care and maintenance of vehicle batteries, is today highlighting the importance of a healthy battery to motorists to help them protect their batteries and avoid costly replacement fees.

London, UK (PRWEB) March 12, 2010 — CTEK, a leading global brand in the care and maintenance of vehicle batteries, is today highlighting the importance of a healthy battery to motorists to help them protect their batteries and avoid costly replacement fees.

Battery maintenance (http://www.ctek.com/EN-GB/battery-maintenance.aspx) is essential to protect and properly care for a battery in order to prolong its lifespan and avoid battery failure.

CTEK battery chargers revive, charge, condition and maintain all types of vehicle batteries to ensure that batteries are kept in their optimum condition and that cars start first time in all temperatures and weather conditions.

Borje Maleus, VP of Business Development, CTEK, said: “We can’t stress enough how important the proper care and maintenance of a vehicle battery is. Only 30% of unmaintained batteries last for four years or longer without proper care and some can last just six months depending on the type of battery used.

“By using a smart battery charger, motorists can connect them to the battery and forget about them safe in the knowledge that their battery is being protected and the potential for battery failure (http://www.ctek.com/EN-GB/battery-failure.aspx) is eliminated. Although many people believe that using a battery charger can be complicated the beauty of CTEK chargers is that they require no specialist knowledge and are incredibly simple to use.”

CTEK products for all types of car batteries (http://www.ctek.com/EN-GB/car-batteries.aspx) are available through a network of stockists, details of which can be found via the CTEK website ctek.com.

CTEK is a world leading authority on battery technology, battery chargers and battery care and has developed a patented technology to ensure that products charge, condition and maintain all types of vehicle batteries quickly, simply and safely.

One of Americas Biggest RV Park Franchises, Jellystone Park Campgrounds, has awarded two parks with Franchise of the year. The winners were North Java, NY and the Jellystone Park® campground in Natural Bridge VA. Among the chain of family RV Camping resorts, this award is the most sought after recognition, awarded based on park improvements, amenities and outreach to new campers.

Natural Bridge, VA (PRWEB) March 11, 2010 — One of Americas Biggest RV Park Franchises, Jellystone Park Campgrounds, has awarded two parks with Franchise of the year. The winners were North Java, NY and the Jellystone Park® campground in Natural Bridge VA. Among the chain of family RV Camping resorts, this award is the most sought after recognition, awarded based on park improvements, amenities and outreach to new campers.

Jellystone Park Campgrounds began its creation and expansion of family friendly tent campgrounds (http://www.campnbr.com/facilities.html) and RV parks in 1969 and since then has expanded to over 70 parks in the United States and Canada making them one of the largest providers of family camping facilities in the Country. Jellystone Park Campgrounds has managed to continue to grow the number of parks as well as maintain the quality by fostering healthy, internal competition with awards like the coveted “Facility of the Year” recognition.

This Virginia camping (http://www.campnbr.com/) facility at Natural Bridge received this award thanks in large part to the extensive additions and upgrades made to the family campground over the course of 2009. The first and most obvious addition to the campground was the twin mega waterslides that allow campers to race each other through 175′ of twists and turns. The campers can race each other and finally end at the base of the hill coming to a soft, splashing halt. The other addition that was made to the Natural Bridge, Virginia campgrounds was the “Yogi Bear’s Water Zone” which includes fountains, sprinklers, buckets and other fun surprises, suited for all ages.

Although 2009 was a year of extensive growth and improvement for the campground in Virginia (http://www.campnbr.com/), they do not plan to stop there. The Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park at Natural Bridge are planning to add two jumping pillow later in 2010 for the campers to jump on as a safe alternative to trampolines or bounce houses. Everyone at this Natural Bridge, VA campground is excited to get the next year of family camping underway in the spring, extending through the fall to see the success and growth from updates and additions.

The Petroleum Quality Institute of America takes action to help consumers sort out the good from the bad in engine oils.

Metuchen, NJ (PRWEB) March 11, 2010 — The Petroleum Quality Institute of America takes action to help consumers sort out the good from the bad in engine oils.

According to the Petroleum Quality Institute of America (http://www.pqiamerica.com/indexmain.html) (PQIA), there are engine oils currently on the shelves at auto parts stores, gas station C-stores, food stores, and other retail outlets that can cause harm to your car’s engine. Yes, you heard correctly – Cause harm to your car’s engine.

What’s more, Thomas F. Glenn, President of PQIA, says these potentially harmful engine oils are not hard to find. In fact, Glenn says, “They are readily available and often sit shoulder-to-shoulder with some of the most sophisticated engine oils on the market.” Furthermore, whereas some of these oils can cause harm to your engine, it’s challenging for everyday shoppers to sort out what’s right from what’s wrong for their engine. This is because “Engine oils that can cause harm often sport slick labels with such wording as Premium Protection, High Performance, Supreme, All Season Protection, and others that denote quality,” says Glenn.

To make it more challenging, while there may be only a few inches and a few cents separating one bottle of oil from another on the shelf at a retail outlet, there could be close to eighty years of science and technology separating their performance. Again, you heard it right… close to 80 years separating their performance. The end-result, in an effort to save a nickel or two, car owners can unknowingly put their high priced rides at risk simply because they do not know how to read the ABCs on engine oil labels. As a result, unless they live in California where it is illegal to sell API SA engine oil, they run the real risk of buying engine oil not suitable for use in gasoline-powered automobile engines built as far back as the 1930s. And even if they live in California, or any of the other of the 49 states, one can still easily pick engine oil formulated for use in vehicles many decades old – engine oil that the American Petroleum Institute says, “May cause unsatisfactory performance or equipment harm.”

In an effort to help educate and protect the interest of car owners, the Petroleum Quality Institute of America, recently added a section on how to read engine oil labels to its website. The new section (http://www.pqiamerica.com/Labels.htm) explains the “ABCs” of engine oil labels. According to Glenn, “The first lesson to learn about the ‘ABCs’ of engine oil labels is that, “unlike grades on a school paper, when you see an ‘A’ on a bottle of engine oil, look hard, because if the ‘A’ on a bottle of engine oil is preceded by an ‘API S‘ it’s more indicative of a very bad grade, than a good grade.” The same goes for “SB, SC and a few others often found mixed in with the current ‘API SM’ Service Categories,” Glenn adds.

The new PQIA webpage titled “Engine Oil Labels 101 (http://www.pqiamerica.com/Labels.htm)” assists consumers in understanding and interpreting the codes/acronyms on a bottle of oil to assure that they use the “right stuff.” For car owners that have their oil changed at fast lubes, new car dealers and others, the website also provides them with the knowledge they need to ask the right questions. For most, that question is, “Does the oil you are servicing my car with meet the API, ILSAC, and other specifications required for my engine, and is it the right viscosity grade for my car’s make, model and year?” If the ones changing your oil can’t answer these basic questions, Glenn says, “It’s time to consider changing the ones changing your oil.”

PQIA’s new webpage “Engine Oil Labels 101” is located at: www.pqiamerica.com/Labels.htm

Delray Beach, FL (PRWEB) March 11, 2010 — Leading ball bearing supplier, Boca Bearings, is putting a new line of lubricants and coatings at the heart of its plans to become a respected name in industrial lubrication markets. After 20 years of success as an innovative supplier of specialty ceramic bearing products, Boca Bearings is now targeting industrial lubrication with a full range of Oils, Greases, Coatings and Solid Lube. Boca Bearings new line of industrial lubricants is fueled by the overwhelming response from its current customer base that is constantly seeking out new ways to extend the life of moving parts and machinery.

Boca Bearing has always tried to provide its customers with cutting edge products that offer great value at an affordable price. The new line of lubricants features Kyodo Yushi greases which has become the de-facto standard in precision machinery lubrication the world over.

Vogue Tyre and Rubber Company is using an interactive application developed by QA Graphics to enhance their customers’ online shopping experience. Customers can visit Vogue Tyres’ new online showroom, EnTyre 360°, to virtually customize their vehicle with Vogue products and see exactly how it will look on their vehicle before buying.

(Vocus) — QA Graphics, an innovative computer graphic development company, has developed a virtual showroom (http://www.qagraphics.com/interactive-development/virtual-configurator.html) for Vogue Tyre and Rubber Company to enhance their customers’ shopping experience. Customers can visit Vogue Tyres’ new online showroom, EnTyre 360°, to virtually customize their vehicle with Vogue products and see exactly how it will look on their vehicle before buying.

Vogue Tyres, a provider of high-end custom tires, wheels, and accessories, launched their new online showroom, EnTyre 360°, in December of 2009. QA Graphics developed the virtual tool for Vogue to provide an interactive experience for the automobile parts industry (http://www.qagraphics.com/interactive-development/virtual-configurator.html), which lets customers virtually modify their vehicle to see exactly how custom accessories like tires, grilles, wheels and true factory paint colors will look on their vehicle before purchasing. The application can be found on Vogue Tyres’ website, http://www.voguetyre.com/3d/index.php. When using the online tool, the vehicles are displayed in 3D (http://www.qagraphics.com/graphic-services/3d-design.html) and visitors can make modifications to see their selections almost instantly in a full 360-degree view which shows the custom accessories from every angle.

“EnTyre 360° has been very well received by our visitors to Vogue’s website,” said Ken Brockway, director of Vogue Tyre marketing. “We found that our customers needed a way to visualize what their car would look like with Vogue tires, wheels and grilles,” said Brockway. “We wanted a program that was easy to use for our customers that would enhance the reality of the vehicle. The 360-degree viewer takes the guessing work out of purchasing the perfect product for your car.”

Currently, EnTyre 360° displays two models that can be virtually modified – the 2010 Cadillac CTS and Lexus RX350. QA Graphics is working with Vogue this spring to add the 2010 Cadillac SRX Crossover and Cadillac Escalade EXT to the virtual showroom. Two more vehicles from the 2010 Lexus models are also scheduled to be developed this year. This interactive solution is new to the auto industry and is expected to be well-received, adding to sales and easing purchasing decisions.

“Vogue Tyres’ new EnTyre 360° helps increase both sales and customer appreciation. It gives them the final touch for their vehicle,” said Jim Kemp, sales manager at Metropolitan Cadillac in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. “It is like trying it on before you buy it.”

Product configurators such as EnTyre 360° help ease the shopping process, allowing viewers to virtually change the size, color or possible accessories of their product to see how it will look before purchasing. QA Graphics’ design team can develop custom virtual solutions to showcase any product in realistic 3D and 360-degree views. The company also provides its customer base with a variety of 3D designs and interactive solutions, including interactive displays, animations and website development.
