PAGE I - PLAINDE ALER - FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15,1WZ Remanufactured parts cut automobile repair costs other parts, may require replacement in just two or three years -- even sooner for smaller, lighter cars with less durable parts (for weight reduction) and which operate at higher RPM's and tempera­ tures. One good way to keep re­ placement part costs down is to use quality remanufactured parts, instead of new, when re­ placements are needed. Virtually the only differ­ ence between a remanufac­ tured part and a new one is that remanufacturcrs reuse certain durable non-working compo­ nents such as steel or cast-iron casings. To these, new bear­ ings, brushes, wiring, insula­ tion and other components are added on a mass-production assembly-line basis. During and after assembly, each is thoroughly teste^l and in­ spected before packaging and shipping. The result, says Harry A. Holzwasser, president of Arrow Automotive Industries, "is a part that meets or ex­ ceeds all new part perform­ ance requirements, carries the same warranty as new, and costs up to 60 percent less than the comparable new part." Remanufactured parts, he adds, are available to mechan­ ics from the same sources that supply new parts. Arrow, headquartered in Framingham, Mass., pio­ neered auto parts remanufac- turing back in 1929. Today it is the largest independent re- manufacturer of auto electrical system parts and a leading pro­ ducer of other remanufactured parts for domestic and im­ ported passenger cars, light HARRY A. HOLZWASSER, pmident of Arrow Automo­ tive Induatrfes. With new car prices at re­ cord highs and interest rates not far behind, many Ameri­ cans must make the family car last longer. In fact, the average age of cars on U.S. highways is approaching seven years. To keep older cars ninning properly means regular main­ tenance -- oil changes, tuneups and inspections -- and replacing worn-out parts. Few parts last as long as seven years. Many electrical, brake, clutch, cooling system and PART RETAIL PRICE RETAIL PRICE (New Part) (Arrow-Remanufactured) Alternator $113 $4J>- Clutch $161 $p4 Starter S 92 i $^5 Water Pump $ 67 $5<^ and heavy trucks, and other vehicles. Remanufactured parts available today^range from alternators to water pumps, from power steering hoses to entire engines. As to cost comparisions, below are some examples, based on recent suggested retail prices in New England. (Actual prices may vary with area and supplier, but the percentage savings will be similar everywhere.) In addition to saving mo­ ney, remanufactured parts of­ ten improve on the original. "Arrow analyzes wear and failure factors on millions of units," Holzwasser says. "If failure was due to a design problem, we correct it. Other times, we add heavier wiring or insulation or make other im­ provements." By using remanufactured parts from reputable suppliers. consumers can be sure of new- part performance, reliability and durability at prices that can save hundreds of dollars or more over the life of a car. "For the combination of savings and performance," Holzwasser says. "I think the remanufactured part is the consumer's best buy." CHECK HER OUTl] Carbon monoxide can enter your car from a faulty exhaust system. In the cold weather you will be driving with the windows closed, so beware of the odorless killer that can leak into your car. Inspect the head- pipes, muffler, and tailpipe for any leaks, cracks or holes.
