GLOVE BOX TIPS
You don't have to be an experienced auto technician to get good service for your car. The information in Glove Box Tips from the Federal Citizen Information Center and the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) shows you how. An important first step is finding a reliable garage. Start by asking friends and co-workers for recommendations, then visit several shops. See for yourself if the shop is neat and well organized. Is the equipment modern and in good shape? Are labor rates, guarantees, and other policies posted? Also, look for trade school diplomas, certificates of advanced course work, and ASE certifications awarded to technicians. To get a better idea of what you should look for in a repair facility, get Glove Box Tips. This publication costs $1.00.

ROSEACA
Approximately 14 million Americans have rosacea - and most of them don't know it. Rosacea (pronounced ro-ZAY-she-ah) is a little-known disorder of the facial skin. Because it often causes flushing, redness, and acne-like infections, it can cause personal as well as health problems. While the cause of roseaca is unknown and there is no cure, symptoms can be controlled. Learn more about roseaca and how to control it with Rosacea from the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases. For your free copy, call toll-free 1 (888) 8 PUEBLO, that's 1 (888) 878-3256 and ask for Item 532K.
