For our readers, more advertising means more great services to choose from. For our advertisers, print advertising can give you more ‘bang’ for your advertising buck! Let’s use a car dealership’s TV commercial as an example. In 30 seconds, there’s only time to gloss over the details of a closeout sale and have enough time to tell viewers where to find the car lot.

On radio, you can’t even see the cars.

WE’VE The Monthly Grapevine® M OVED 1210 Central Blvd., Suite 111 Brentwood, CA 94513 Available in Person Monday 9am - 4:30pm Tuesday - Thursday 9am - 5pm Friday by Appointment Main Office: 925.634.0880 Fax: 925.634.7822 Write us at: info@monthlygrapevine.com 24/7 at www.monthlygrapevine.com

That’s why print advertisements can boost floor traffic for any business. A full-page ad can show off all the cars, with prices and finance rates, and include a map to the dealership. A reader can study the ad without having the typical TV commercial announcer yelling at her to buy now before it’s too late.

You can choose the correct size of print advertising to meet your needs and budget. If you go to a TV or radio station, your only choices are likely a :10, :15 or :30 spot. But with newspaper advertising, you can study the rate card to choose to advertise just your logo, address and phone number, or a full-color ad that can highlight your entire inventory. For businesses new to advertising, buying a print ad is a more low-key decision than trying to decide how to produce a complicated, expensive TV commercial.

The couponing craze makes a compelling argument to buy print advertising as well.

Many businesses yearn for an increase in floor traffic. Putting a coupon into a print ad is an ideal way for them to get more people through their doors.

TV or radio commercials may say, “mention this ad for 5% off,” but that’s likely not the sure-fire traffic booster as having a printed coupon that gets into the customer’s hand. Plus, a business has

4

an easier time managing expiration dates with a print ad than in the fine print that flies by in a TV commercial.

True, there are some places in a publication that are more desirable than others. But you can definitely get noticed through a magazine insert. When a reader pulls out the inserts from the middle of our publication, their hands will be on the ad and they can’t help but glance at it, especially if it is in color.

In a recent poll of our readers, a whopping 93% told us they prefer print advertising to Internet and other types of advertising. Print advertisements may not be as flashy as their counterparts on radio or television, but for clients interested in a cost-effective, no-frills approach to boosting sales, a full-color image can put green into their cash registers.

Sincerely, Sonya North - CEO

EC European Auto Works East County European Autoworks opened its doors in December 2007, bringing a much-needed service to East County. They are a full service automotive repair and diagnostic center, specializing in Audi, Volkswagen and BMW service and repair. The business also has a licensed Smog Technician on staff to offer smog repairs.

The inspiration for opening East County European Autoworks came from owner, Freddie Apodaca’s love of the European sports car and the lack of any repair facility that specialized in those cars in East County. He saw a void and a need in the market and knew he could fill the void with EC European Autoworks. Freddie graduated with honors from Sequoia Institute in 2001 where he studied Automotive Technology, Strategic and Advanced Diagnosis and Service Management. Having a great interest in European car brands, he began working for Livermore Audi in 2001, while completing his training at SI and progressed quickly from a Technician to the Shop Foreman. The education he received from Sequoia Institute, along with the hands-on training he received during his many years with Livermore Audi gave him the skill and know-

how to make running EC European Autoworks seem easy and very rewarding. Freddie tells us, “The best part of owning East County European Autoworks is the hands-on work I get to do on some of the most state of the art automobiles ever built. It is gratifying to figure out what is wrong, repair it and return the vehicle to my smiling customers.” He goes on to say, “The service I provide my customers is so rewarding, and it makes going to work every day more like fun than work!”

At EC European Autoworks, they go above and beyond other auto repair facilities in East County with their expert training, attention to detail, quality workmanship and love of the job. They want people to know that if you haven’t had the best experience at the repair shops you’ve been to, you need to head over to EC European Autoworks and let them show you what a truly dedicated repair shop is all about.

They can work on any vehicle, and from the smallest light bulb change to the biggest engine repair, they do it all and do it with a smile! You’ll leave with the feeling that the pros at EC European Autoworks actually care about your car and take the utmost pride in every job.

Giving back to the community is also important to Freddie, so they currently sponsor the art program at Excelsior Middle School and are involved with Sunscreen for Soldiers, and the Liberty Girls Golf Team. Future goals for EC European Autoworks include

expansion. The business has grown so rapidly in size and clientele that they need more space. Also being considered is a night crew to keep up with volume. Things are looking nowhere but up at East County European Autoworks.

Testimonials I took my 2003 Audi TT to East County European Autoworks after explaining my problem to Freddie. I felt he gave me honest answers about the repairs that were necessary, and also informed me that I only needed to replace one of the engine cooling fans, rather than both, which had been recommended by another shop. I would definitely recommend Freddie to others, and will use his shop in the future. - Janine H., Discovery Bay East County European AutoWorks is an AWESOME place. They are very knowledgeable and fair. Freddie and his crew are very thorough and I’m very glad they are close by. I have a VW but they work on all brands. - Louise P., Brentwood Freddie has been my Audi mechanic for 10 years. He can be relied upon to give you accurate analysis and fair pricing. I wouldn’t go to anyone else!!! - Francis H., Antioch East County European Autoworks is

located at 550 Harvest Park Drive, Suite E in Brentwood. They can be contacted at 925-516-2834 or visit eastcountyeuro.com

TRAVEL TIME

It’s Over Right?

You Ask What We Are Talking About.

Summer is now a part of our past as we move on to the fall and winter months. We do want to tell you that now is the time to book your holiday travel plans. Airfare especially continues to climb and the closer we get to both Thanksgiving and the end of the year holidays and festivities, the higher the price will be for airfare.

And if you are planning a trip to the Hawaiian Islands you should be aware that tourism all year has been on an upswing in the Islands of Aloha and that is the reason we do not see many special deals and discounts.

The hoteliers can see no reason to discount or have specials when occupancy rates are in the 80% and above range. And that also goes for the airlines as occupancy rates are much higher these days. We do however have

Contact us today for your Islands of Aloha holiday vacation plans and we’ll do our best to get you where you want to go and when you want to go. One other market that has seen a tremendous increase in visitors lately is Puerto Vallarta.

Although it hasn’t officially been called it, we call it the Cancun of the Pacific. They have many new resorts in the newer areas of Puerto Vallarta and, quite frankly, can easily compete with Cancun. Just remember though that it is on a much smaller scale as Cancun once was so, for now, it is more attractive for those that just don’t like to see mile after mile of hotels on the beach. And from San Francisco we do have a choice of airlines with nonstop service to Puerto Vallarta.

We also have good news in that Princess Cruises will once again base

FOR YOUR DENTAL HEALTH

General Dentist & Orthodontic Success The American Association of Orthodontists recommends orthodontic screening by age seven or even earlier if a parent or the dentists expect an orthodontic problem. By this age several permanent teeth have erupted in most children allowing the dentist to effectively evaluate the orthodontic condition. Most 7 year olds do not require orthodontic intervention at this age. But somtimes, if the problem is not discovered in a timely fashion, it may be difficult or not possible to treat later in life and may need major surgical corrections to treat the orthodontic problem. This is why it is very important that no orthodontic problem is overlooked. Adults also benefit from getting orthodontic therapy to correct teeth misalignment, crowding or bite problems. The benefits on the long term oral health of having straight teeth in a proper bite cannot be

periodontal health.

understated. Many patients still think of getting braces as a cosmetic procedure, but the effects of not having normal bite and misaligned teeth can cause gum problems, bone loss and functional problems, as well. Typically, the general dentist is the first line of defense against a patient developing orthodontic problems. Patients with excessive over jet have a 33% chance of experiencing trauma to the upper front teeth.

The dentist is in the best position to inform patients about the risks associated with malocclusions or orthodontic problems. Without a proper and timely intervention for orthodontic treatment, a potentially devastating orthodontic problem could be missed. Collaboration and communication between the dentist and the parents is important at all stages of the orthodontic journey. It is a great responsibility for the general dentist to ensure that patients of all ages receive optimal orthodontic care at the appropriate time to get the best possible results.

The reasons to get early orthodontic treatment are usually if kids lost their baby teeth very early, either due to injury or infection or are badly affected by cavities. Other reasons to get braces or orthodontic treatment are when there is insufficient room for the developing permanent teeth, deep bites and cross bites. Habits like thumb or finger sucking, biting the cheek, grinding, mouth breathing, speech difficulties, difficulty or not able to close lips together can be corrected with orthodontic treatment. In adults, as previously mentioned, getting braces is not only for cosmetic reasons but also before getting implants or a bridge work done, it is a good idea to check if you need to get braces. This could help functionally to get a good bite and also create a marked improvement in the

HEALTH

WHO’S BEEN SNOOPED?

weight loss and strength and endurance training for all athletes.

Just a Flex Away

At the age of 36, Shawna has an amazing past in bodybuilding. First time out in 2003, she took home a win and continued with six wins prior to attending the 2008 New York Team Universe Nationals where she took a 2nd. Now that counts double for me, someone who has the personal dedication to compete and win!

Imagine having that type of knowledge to help you choose the right training and nutrition while she personally assists you with your workout! WOW! It doesn’t get any better than that.

The calendar just turned the page to September, and the sky is filled with clouds. Our treasured Yosemite could certainly use a little rain to put out the fire and since the cherries are past the harvest, the fields could also stand a little sprinkle to cut down on the dust. With bathing suit weather in full swing and signs of the holiday season looming around the corner, it is a perfect time for all of us to think about getting in shape.

Fortunately for Brentwood, record holder Shawna Walker has opened Flex Studio near John Muir Hospital. This marvelous training center is perfect for anyone who is considering one on one training with a heavyweight body builder champion who has a Masters in Kinesiology and a Minor in Nutrition. The studio is immaculate and has every kind of training equipment you need to get that beautiful body you have always wanted. Shawna specializes in cardiovascular health improvement,

Her clients are thrilled with this one on one type of training. Whether they are considering exercise for the very first time or need an expert to help them find the best training regime to get them in the best shape of their life, her dedication is the same. I think the thing I liked most about Shawna was her desire to get you excited about good health inside and out. With so many suffering these days with weight, it is certainly a great addition to have your trainer help you choose the right diet to get you back on track.

And, she is so flexible with your time to train. Whether you are catching a workout before you go to work or after,

she will find the time to work around your schedule. Her decision to put her competing on hold was to dedicate all of her energy and time building her dream.

Unlike the large gyms, this type of training builds a wonderful bond between you and your trainer so you can focus on the results you want without having to wait your turn. Focusing on you, Shawna designs your workout to best suit you, your lifestyle, your age and your personal fitness goal. Did I mention she can help you with your diet? Another two points!

So Shawna, this secret shopper got the assignment to snoop Flex Studio and after all my research, I realized that a personal trainer is ideal for everyone. I always thought it was just for the jocks and super athletes and am thrilled to tell our readers that even the beginner can train with you. How cool is that! You can finally get fit, eat right and tell all your friends “I have a personal trainer!” That being said, the monthly grapevine gives you five kettlebells for bringing your dream to life in Brentwood. Who will be snooped next? It could be you!

Flex Studio Personal Training is located at 70 Eagle Rock Way, Suite D in Brentwood. She can be contacted at 925784-2461.

Home Inspections ...

Money Well Spent!

The process of buying a home involves time. We know this because it can take days, weeks, or months to find the home of your dreams, so when you finally get the call from your Realtor that the offer you presented has been accepted, you jump for joy and breath a sigh of relief that all the driving and looking around is finally over. Well, as far as driving around… you may be right, but as for your investigatory behavior, now is the time to become Sherlock Holmes and really start investigating what you’re hoping to own in 30 days.

Although there are a great many inspections that can be done prior to taking ownership, the most common inspections start with a full home inspection done by a qualified Home Inspector. You may have a great kitchen

with a beautiful view of Mount Diablo, but if your foundation has cracks and your furnace is on its last leg, you need to know that. In addition to the Home Inspection, it’s customary to have a Termite inspection, a Roof inspection, and a Sewer Lateral Pipe inspection.

These primary four inspections will give the Buyer a thorough understanding of their new home’s condition as well as written reports and suggestions from the Professional.

roof leak that goes undetected can wreak havoc in costly water damages months later when the rains start. It’s only when someone climbs under the home that you find water leaks causing mold problems or foundation issues that need serious attention.

Your Realtor of course guides you through the process inch-by-inch and also ensures you possess a good Home Warranty Plan to protect you as well. As soon as your home goes into contract, the clock starts ticking to find any problems… if they exist. Like anything worthwhile, once it’s over, you’ll be real happy you did it.

Inspections can take hours. They’ll look at the property’s structure, including the roof, foundation, and attic. They check systems within the home as well including the plumbing and electrical work. It’s always recommended that you’re there as well to ask lots of questions. Afterwards, you’ll review the results of every inspection and decide, with your Agent, how to move forward.

Knowledge is power and you’ll know exactly what you’re buying.

ON THE HOUSE

Trimming Doors - A Free-Swinging Solution New carpeting can do wonders to improve the appearance of your home, but if it’s thicker than the previous floor covering, it can cause doors to drag, making them difficult to open and close.

The solution to smooth-swinging doors is trimming the bottom. Cutting a door, solid or hollow-core, can be relatively easy if you have the right tools and take a few minor precautions. While many folks choose a handsaw, a circular saw also can make a uniform cut and will require quite a bit less elbow grease, especially when several doors are involved.

When you trim a door with a circular saw you must use caution to preserve and protect the door’s appearance and to prevent the saw from splintering and tearing the wood fibers at the cut line. This is especially challenging with hollow core doors. Start by marking the height of the cut at a point where

you are sure the door will swing freely without touching the carpet. Next, remove the door from its hinges. Use a small hammer and a nail or nail punch to tap the hinge pin up and out. Once all of the hinge pins have been removed, place the door onto a pair of sawhorses.

It’s a good idea to use towels or old scraps of carpeting or pad isolate the door from the sawhorses. This will prevent damage to the door finish.

Use a straightedge and a pencil to mark the cut line. Too avoid damaging the door during cutting, use a sharp utility knife to deeply score the cut line. By the way, as it did when making the pencil mark the straightedge will be helpful when scoring. Several light passes with the utility knife should be made. The deeper the scored line the better.

With the cut line scored, make a cut ever so slightly below the score line. Scoring prevents surface tearing and chipping that can result when any kind of sawing is taking place. If you have elected to use a circular power saw, be sure to use a finishing blade that has many teeth per inch. The more teeth, the finer the cut. A good finish blade is far less apt to tear the surface. A carbide tipped blade is also a must regardless of the number

of teeth per inch. The carbide tip will not be affected if a staple or a nail is encountered during cutting.

Use caution when choosing a power over a hand saw. If the saw table is dirty or a bit rusty or rough, it can mar the door’s stained or painted finish. To avoid this, apply strips of duct tape to the face of the saw table. This will not only preserve the door’s finish, but will make the saw glide more easily as well.

That freshly cut edge of the door will absorb moisture and must be sealed to guard against future swelling and warping. If the door is painted, be sure to use an oil base primer on the raw edge and either a latex or oil base finish coat (depending upon the existing finish). If the door is to be stained, use an oil base stain and a coat or two of oil base polyurethane. Finally, reinstall the door by placing it into the opening and installing the top hinge pin first then the remaining hinge pins.

Following this process allows you to use the door’s weight to interlock the remaining hinges.

The Monthly Grapevine has been the backbone of my advertising needs. I have tried different variations of print advertising and using the exact same ad that I am currently running (and have with very little modifications for years), the results were amazing, Grapevine produces very good results, almost 8% more than any other publication I have tried. I track the return, not only customer count but also in dollars and cents, I have had no other advertising in ANY other form that produces gross dollars like the Grapevine.

Now with their help, I have expanded to multiple Internet specific type advertising. Lets face it, not every business, nor every person uses or sees just one type of advertising. The results were interesting, 2 to 3 % comes from these type of advertising (almost 8% less), just barely gave me an acceptable return. I can always count on the Grapevine, if I was forced into only using one advertising source, hands down I have tried and proven results from the Grapevine, and the people are fabulous to work with, always professional and friendly and eager to help in any way they can.

Thank you Monthly Grapevine!
