Mauricico the Plumber

Need a good high-quality reasonable cost, Plumber?

A good worker at a reasonable price for a complete Plumbing By-Pass, the work was fast, clean and at a very reasonable cost.

On July 4th at 9:15 PM a water pipe busted and it was in the ceiling above the shower and it completely destroyed the bathroom.

Stanly Steemer was called by my Ins Co, Liberty Mutual to demolish the bathroom and make it safe. 

I was advised that we cannot use the bathroom for any reason until this work is done, they said they found Asbestos in the walls so the bathroom was sealed off for 17 Days.

On July 8 Stanly Steemer stopped by to access the damage and it was bad to the point it had to be taken apart, down to the wood studs in the walls and ceiling, water was running down the light and walls.                                             

My wife called Liberty Mutual and she was advised to get a hotel to stay in because the foul Mold Odors were in the house making her sick. After 4 days with nothing done the Mold Odor was so strong it filled the whole house.  Our eyes burned, my wife’s breath was getting hard to breath so we did as told to do by our agent, we got a hotel and the closest place we could find, it was 3 miles from our home.

Every day, I had to be home to open the house for the workers and could not go in the Bathroom to even see the worker and what they were doing until the demolishing was done and the room was dried and the Plastic barrier was removed. During that time there were several experts from different companies came by to check for samples of what they check for and after 17 Days the work was done.

Now we have a real Problem Liberty Mutual Ins says they will not pay for the Plumbing to be repaired because of wear and tear, the Old Galvanized pipes busted and it was not wear and tear it was a rusted out hole that started from the outside that caused the damage and Liberty refuses to honor our warranty. I was told to did the ground up so an agent from Liberty Mutual came by to inspect it for Plumbing repairs. After they had me dig the ground for 4 hours to prove the Pipe was in the Foundation. A By-Pass was the cheapest and best way to solve this Galvanized Plumbing Problem we have. But my agent after proving what they wanted to know, I was refused help.

My agent told us to get three estimated for the work of the Plumbing and I did, it was from $11,000 to $39,000 if the work was to be done the way Liberty Mutual again wanted it done (bust the concrete to replace the Pipe that broke) but my agent heard the cost, he flip flopped and said your plumbing is not covered. He actually sent me a contract that said No Steam Pipe Breaks or Frozen Plumbing is covered, he sent me a contract that applies to the East where they have steam filled pipes and frozen pipes. I think he actually committed Fraud and I will report this to the Insurance Commissioner as well.

So, I contacted a friend for some help knowing he had just done his plumbing, he gave me a man named Mauricio and he was kind enough to stop by and give me an estimate.

After he walked around the house, Mauricio he recommended a Plumbing By-Pass, he said it will be much cheaper than fixing the one Galvanized pipe for the A Dee Do Contractor wanted at $39,000 and what the Liberty Mutual Ins adjuster wanted because it went through the Foundation. The parts and the labor was far cheaper than replacing the one busted Galvanized Pipe in the concrete. I paid for the Plumbing By-Pass and was allowed to help do some of the hard labor work which saved me a lot of money, in fact the complete Job with my labors saving me several thousand dollars and only cost me $9,400 for the complete Plumbing By-Pass in Copper pipes.

Fokes if you want a high-quality Plumber who is fast, clean and reliable and honest this is the man, he is a really nice person and has some great men working with him to complete the Job. I could not be happier and I recommend his services. If you are in the San Fernando Vally or Los Angeles area, he will come to you and see what and how he can help you save money on the work needed.

Folks, I let this man do my plumbing and I trust him, he also does work for the some of the Schools in the San Fernando Valley, he is really good and honest.

But that is not it, I had to have the bathroom remodeled and yes, Mauricio was able to have a crew of his men rebuild the bathroom as well and the cost was just under $10,000 while others remodeling companies wanted $13,000 for a cheap job and as much as $18.000 for a half ass job using particle board, the vanity they wanted to use was just under $300 and I said no way. Mauricio did everything to make it ready for the new vanity we purchased with a Marbel Top for under $1,500 and it has 6 drawers 3 on each side and one in the middle.

I recommend Mauricio who I believe is a really good man to work with and honest, his prices were reasonable, so if you need a good plumber give him a chance to talk to you about how he can help you.

Antonio Tree Man

A J Tree Service with Free Estimates.

This Father and Son operation is really on top of it, they are Honest and their work is affordable.

First let me tell you what they do before I give you my story on how they saved me several hundred dollars.

Tree Service Provided;

  1. Tree Removal
  2. Tree Pruning
  3. IVY Topping and Removal
  4. Lot and Hill Side Cleanup
  5. Brush Clearance
  6. Stump Removal

All at very reasonable prices.

I wanted to let you know about this Tree Service owned and operated by the Father and his Son’s and all are very hard workers, the work was fast and clean all at the same times.  It was a pleasure seeing those men work like they did.

It made me feel 40 years younger seeing them work like they did, integrity and hard workers are hard to find together these days but this crew has all of it.

I had a tall tree in my back yard with a Green House, a garage and a Fence all within 6 feet of the Tree that needed the top cut out.

I have asked other Tree Companies estimates but the cost was over a thousand just to put it on the ground, no cutting up or hauling any part of it, the price was just too high for me. I had to pass several times by other Tree Men but knew my time was short because I did not want it to fall in the wind.

I was talking to my neighbor about the tree and ask him if he can recommend anyone, he said yes, in fact my tree man will be here next week on Thursday the 4th of September. He told me about Antonio the Tree Man a father and son operation and they to do his trees, he has 9 trees they keep trimmed and cared for and will let him know to see me.

On Thursday I was introduced to the owner Antiono a very nice elder gentleman, he asked to see the tree and we went to the back yard. Antonio walked around it and saw the Green House ragged as it is, a garage and a fence all under the tree within 5 feet of all.  I said don’t worry about hitting anything.

The tree was around 50 feet tall about 2 feet thick and had 6, 6-to-10-inch limbs on it in the top so they were big and long and lots of leaves. He gave me his price seeing all the things that could get damaged and I agreed, it was very fair and would take about 2 hours overall. I said Ok and they started right away working on getting it down, I did not bother them at any time while they worked and when they left the place, it was clean.

I did ask them to leave the wood which saved me a lot of money for hauling and gave me free Fire Wood for the Fair Place we have. Their Job was to put the top on the ground and I will cut up the wood. To my surprise they cut the wood up anyway and it was greatly appreciated, they did more than they were ask to do.

They did a great fast Job, no messing around and the Green House, fence or garage below the tree were not damaged in any way.   

As a Tree Man with my brother back East for several years, I was very happy to see the Tree men work the way my brother and I did when were younger doing our tree service as these men are.  

Antonio and his sons, are really good caring Professional Tree Men and my neighbor Richard who has used his service many times agrees. They were fast and careful, they lowered the limbs with the ropes and were very careful about it, good workers no Damage of any kind anywhere.

A Good and Reliable Father and Son Tree Service and I recommend if you need good fast quality reasonable Tree Service please call them.

LOW COST AUTO WINDSHIELD

A new high quality windshield Glass Installed in under an hour and at a very reasonable cost.

Today I had a very pleasant experience with a shop in San Frenando Valley, CA that replaced the Windshield in my truck while I waited and it was over in around 45 minutes start to finish.

The office lady who answered the phone was very polite to speak with. I told her my windshield was broken and needs a replacement and what was the cost in full.  This lady, asked me some question and then gave me the price of a replacement windshield. She told me the full cost to have a New Windshield Installed in my 2010 Toyota Tacoma was $165.00 out the door.

When my windshield first cracked by a rock while driving on the freeway, I stopped and get some Super Glue and put it all over the crack to keep it from splitting any worst at that time, that glue held it from splitting any further for over 1 ½ years. 

That crack was more like a little crater the size of a dime and then on June 21st it snapped all the way across from the small crater to the far right side.

As soon as I arrived at the C&S, they had an open stall for my truck to be repaired in, I was guided into the stall and I left the key in the ignition.

The Technician came over to the truck and started his work by removing the Rear View Mirror from off the inside of the glass, he then went to the outside glass trim and carefully removed those parts, next he was careful to separate the glass from the window frame not to break the glass any worst but to make use nothing was damaged and then the broken glass was carefully removed. After disposal of the old broken glass, he started cleaning the base where the new glass will sit.  

After cleaning the truck frame where the glass sits on the truck at, he cleaned the glass on both sides and after he cleaned the glass and double checked it for perfection. Next, he used two special glass lifting tools and attached them to the glass. The technician then lifted the glass and brough it over to the truck where another helper was there to help him hold and steady the glass while he made sure it was sitting on the frame perfect Squair. I also observed, he and the helper were very careful not to touch my truck hood, even though they had already placed a thick blanket over the hood to protect it. They continued to be very careful with the installation and that was followed by installing the trim around the windshield. This was followed by the technician applying a Special Holding Tape around the glass I will remove tomorrow. This Holding Tape is there to ensure a good solid tight seal and will stay for 24 hours before removal and that’s it, this Blue Tape by the way will also help keep dirt from getting onto the new adhesive/seal until it dries.

The job took approximately 45 minutes from the time I pulled in until the time I pulled out. I was in and out the door and very well please again. The job was clean and high quality.

I do not normally recommend any repair shop but over the last 30 years this shop has done many glass replacement jobs for me and the customers I have sent there, so this time in hope to help save others as much as several hundred dollars on a new windshield I want to let other know about this good service I got at a low cost to me.   

Before I went to C&S Auto Glass shop, I went on-line to a mobile glass company to see what they would charge for a new windshield installed.

There advertisement was $151.00 for a new windshield installed but in small print under that was the $151 was one payment and there would be 3 more payment meaning the glass was over $600.00.

Than may be a good deal for some but I am sort of like many, not able to pay that much right now so I looked for a more reasonable place. I remember a few years back when I works as a Mobile mechanic, I used different shops for parts or sub work, that when I remember C&S Auto Glass service and this small shop was one that I used many times.  

For much less I got the very same high-quality glass from C&S installed on my Truck, at a total of $165.00 not $600 plus dollars for the same repair done by a Mobile Service, I saved over $430.00 today.  

Folks, as a business owner for 44 years and a Certified Technician on Boats, Trucks, Cars Diesel and Gas. By the grace of God, I have never had a bad complaint from BBB, I recommend this shop for high quality work and Glass for your vehicle, there worth the call for a price.

Here is the shop name and Phone Number;

                         C&S AUTO GLASS

                         11325 Penrose St

                         Sun Valley, CA 91352

                         1-818-767-3054

                         (open M-F 8am to 5pm),

Tell a friend if they need a Windshield at a Fair and reasonable cost, and Spread the Word,

Red Light Ticket Scam Found

“My front tire crossed the Limit Line – Ticket was Dismissed”

To those who have paid the Red-Light Ticket, let me tell you why my Red-Light Ticket was dismissed and why you can ask for and do the same thing I did. 

I believe the Red-Light Ticket Violation Company located in Tempe, AZ, is or may be using a fraudulent way to make thousands of people pay several hundred dollars in fines, lose points on their driver’s license, as well as pay higher insurance costs just because of something wrong done by the Red-Light Ticket Violation Company.

Here is what happened: I was driving a car to an auto part house to check on some parts I had ordered. On my way back, I came to a complete Stop for the Red-Light Signal at the bus crossing. I stopped completely, but the camera light flashed anyway.

A few weeks later, I got the ticket for “Failed to Stop for Red Signal.” Yes, the ticket stated I “Failed to Stop for Red Signal”, but I know I did stop. I was shocked to read that the ticket cost was $487. Opting to see the Judge would cost me more time and money, and a loss from work would just cause more aggravation.

I studied the Photograph that the Red-Light Ticket Violation Company sent me. There were four photographs. The first photo shows my car from the rear at a full stop with the Red-Light Signal on. My brake lights were also shown being bright red. The photo clearly shows that I was at a full stop.

As a Legal Expert for Diminished Value and Lemon Law, it was confusing to me to read “Failed to Stop for a Red Signal” on the ticket, while the photograph clearly showed the vehicle stopped with its brake lights being brightly lit up.

The second Photo shows the front of my car at 5 mph, moving as if leaving from a stop due to a Green light, and my front tire has crossed the Limit Line. In the photo, it also shows the Red Light is On for the Cross Traffic, indicating that my light was Green when the camera flashed and captured my front tire crossing the Limit Line.

The third photo shows me in the driver seat, and the fourth photo shows my front license plate.

I called the Red-Light Ticket Violation Company and spoke to possibly an officer. I told her that my car was stopped at the red light and the photo showed the vehicle stopped. One can clearly see that my brake lights were on; the ticket was not right.

She said, “Yes, I see that you are stopped at the red light. Let me go see what the boss says and I will be right back.” Several minutes later, she came back and said, “Well, we got you anyway. Your front tire crossed the Limit Line. Look at the second photo.”

I said, “Yes, I can see that, but I stopped for the Red Light.” Then she told me that even though I did stop, the Violation Code under section 21453 (a) VC says, “If you cross the Limit Line, you ran a Red Light.”

I thought, “In that photo with my front tire crossing the Limit Line, it clearly does not have a red light in front of me.” I said the ticket states “Failed to Stop at the Red Signal” and the first photo shows I am at a full stop. The Ticket for not stopping at the Red Signal is therefore wrong. She explained, the Description “Fail to Stop at Red Signal” was because my front tire crossed the Limit Line. The same code is used for both places and that means I will have to pay.

I then asked the officer if I could see all of the photos that supposedly show me running the red light. She said “OK,” so she helped me with an appointment date and place to go to see them.

When the day arrived, my wife and I went to the police station where the Camera Office is located, in Inglewood CA, to see if there are any photos and video’s of me running the Red Light Signal.

When I got to the complaint window, I said I was there with an appointment for 10:00 am. Then I explained to the officer why I was there, that I wanted to see the photos showing me running the Red Light. I showed her the ticket that states I “Fail to Stop at Red Signal” and the first photo with the vehicle stopping at the red light.

She looked at the photos and then said, “The second photo shows your front wheel crossed the Limit Line.” I then clarified, “The First Photo shows I stopped at the Red Light with a Red Signal, and in the second photo that the camera took, it shows the front tire crossing the Limit Line, but there was no Red Light in front of me. In fact, the second photo shows that the Cross Traffic Light was Red.

The officer went to get the Photos and Video for me to see whether I did run the Red Signal, which I actually did not. A few minutes later, she returned and said, “Well, I’m sorry, but we lost the Video, so this is what I’m going to do.  I will just Dismiss the Ticket for you.” Three days later, I saw that the ticket had indeed been dismissed.

People can be made to think that they broke the law of running the Red-Light under the Violation Code 2143 (a) VC with the Description “Fail to Stop at Red Signal,” when in fact, it is a twisted truth to get you to pay the fine one way or another, even if there is actually no evidence.

It is more profitable to a company if they can find a way to make money off of you, with you thinking you were wrong and therefore you paid, but there is no Justice in that.

My question is, “What happened to all the millions of dollars people have paid to the company under a condition that can be seen as possible Fraud on their part?” I would say everyone should be asking for a full refund. For example, the photo showing my front tire crossing the Limit Line does not have a red. Instead, the photo shows that the light for the cross traffic is Red.

Many people have been wrongfully charged and have paid large sums of money to the Courts when they may not have actually Run the Red-Light Signal. People could be made to think they broke the law when they did not, simply because the Violation Code under section 21453 (a) VC says you crossed the Limit Line. This is unfair because when the light turns “Green” we will cross the Limit Line, so if they said we ran a Red Light, there should be proof before they take our money. However, there was no proof in my photos.

Not all cities enforce the Red-Light Ticket Violation, and I think it is because they know it is unfair. This is specifically true since those lights sometimes flash even when no one is in any part of the area to cause any violation.

It is an unfair business practice to use a photo that does not show a Red Signal in it to prove a person ran the light, yet many were made to pay for that Ticket anyway. The Red-Light Camera company will use it to prosecute you, the same way they tried it with me. It is also unfair to have a Red Light Camera in some areas but not in others.

The Red-Light Camera Company is using this method to get money with no concern for how much it costs the driver. The Red Light Cameras should all be removed based on the fact that they have cost the people hundreds of millions of dollars with an unfair justification of using the laws’ wordings and a camera photo to force a person to pay an unfair amount of money.

I recommend that you complain about it if the photos they use are deceptive. When you have clear evidence that you stopped at the Red Light, you should use the law to help you. Remember the ticket is specific. If your photo shows you stopped at the Red Light and your brake lights are on, but the ticket states “Fail to Stop at Red Signal”, then the ticket is not telling the truth. The ticket is wrong because the photo proves you did stop. From my understanding of the law, it should be dismissed because the photo proved you stopped,

Ask yourself, how many criminals have been released from a crime because the evidence was mishandled, or something the officer wrote was misspelled, or the photo contradicts the accusation? Your ticket is no different.

If a photo shows that your front tire has crossed the White Limit Line, it must also show that there was a Red Light as you were crossing the Limit Line. Some Red Light Cameras are not always right, and they may flash when they are not supposed to.  

Since my first photo does show that I stopped at the Red Signal, and the second photo shows my front tire has crossed the limit line but not me running a Red Light in the same photo, the officer eventually dismissed my ticket. Besides, the ticket does not say anything about me being over the Limit Line.

Pay attention to the words on the ticket and what the photos show; it is possible that you do not have to pay the fine. 

I won this one and you can to. Just read the Ticket wordings carefully and analyze the Photo used against you. If you already paid the ticket, I would suggest asking for your money back based on any possible deception to get your money.

Good Luck, and if this helps you, please tell a friend and spread the word.

All the Best to you,

Abortion over Adoption but NO Funeral, Ever seen a Baby in Jars after Dissection ?

Yes, it happen every time a Baby is Aborted.

Harass Approved Abort the Baby, why when it can be adopted, your Vote is worth more to her than the life of a Healthy Baby.

Ladies may I just ask this question and then ask if the option are acceptable to you. But first I just want to be honest and say I think any woman having an abortion because she is made at her lover or husband or just want to be hateful and show some-one she can do what she wants to, out of hate or to be spiteful.

When a woman dose it under those condition she is committing Murder and should be punished or made to never have another child. That is a live human and our VP does not care any for those live healthy babies she says to Abort. God was clear “Do not Hurt the Little Ones” they belong to God.

First, some friends both are Elder at 70 yo and never had children, were coming into middle age when they married. He worked on the road all the time and just retired but never had children, they did want a Baby and continue to try until the Doctors said forget it.

One thing to know is many people who can’t have children want to adopt a new born baby and can’t because there to many other people waiting and wanting them.

Ladies if you had a choice to make money for carrying that baby and be well taken care of, would you go full term and deliver it for adoption for a couple over Adoption?

The new family can care for you and the baby, they can care for you through that term and then give to you living expense after the adoption is over to help you out for the next 9 months as if you were working since you allowed them to care for you and the Baby up to birth so they can Adopt it.

Aborting a Baby because it is your body is not a good reason to Abort a Baby who has a healthy heart and is in good physical condition. A child that can grow and care for you when you get old, if you had a hard life, help your Baby have a better life.

What happens after the Abortion, do you really know?

I girlfriend had one 35 years ago and the effects of that will hit her later on when she having that desire to have a child. Worst yet, when you know what really happens to your Baby who was Health and had a good Heart beat when you got that Abortion, it will make you very sick depressed.

Abortion Process;

  1. You are laid on a bed with stirps where you place your feet in them and then the Doctor looks at you.
  2. The Doctor uses a metal knife made special for this, he or she makes a cut in the sack where the baby is protected and then it falls out into a bucket or pan on the floor.
  3. A nurse or another person will take the baby in the bucket or pan and then rush into another room out of your site where it is placed on a cold metal table for dissection.
  4. You are told by the caring Nurses you did a really good job as they clean you up and watch for bleeding, if all is well, they walk you out of the office telling you to rest a few weeks before going back to doing what you want to do.
  5. Back in the other room where your healthy Baby with a good Heart Beat was laid onto a cold table, dissection starts with a clean sharp knife so to cut the baby apart.
  6. The Baby may be held down by his face with someone hand over it while another person cuts the chest open into a “Y” section extending from the Left and Right Shoulder to the Center of chest followed by one long cut down the middle of the stomach to the navel, this is to make it easy to harvest your baby’s body parts.
  7. The skin is peeled back and clamped out of the way and then the body parts are pulled up so to be cut and then put into a jar of fluid to be sold. The baby’s heart was still beating when it was removed and put on ice before its parts are delivered to its purchaser.
  8. Did you know when that baby come out it was wanting his mother to hold it and feed it but it was dissected instead thanks to the Harass  campaign telling women she can do what she want to “Its her Body”, right kill healthy Babies.

Have you ever been to the Funeral of an Aborted baby? No because there are none.

There is no Funeral for your Baby, no viewing to say good, you are free to do what you want to do now

As VP Harass says loud and clear “It is your body and you can do what you want to with it” just know that Healthy baby did not have to die because VP Harass says so.

When you stand before God have a good answer as why you Aborted a Healthy baby because someone who cared nothing for you says you can?

You may hear God say “Is VP Harass your god”? Enter into the gates of Hell where you belong.

Ladies think about the Abortion and the price you will pay after having it. If you choose not to abort, there are many homes willing to Adopt and support and help you. After the baby is born, they can help you to move on.

Please consider not Voting for Harass. Think of the Child she cares nothing for and is willing to allow Abortion of those healthy heart beating Babies, it is your decision, the next time you think of a child in a woman womb think of it falling out into a bucket and then Dissected while it lives.

There are the children of God and a gift to mankind. If you are Christian or not and Voter for VP Harass, you are telling God his creation is not worth the Vote.

Thank you for your time and please spread the word “Don’t Abort if there is no Medical reason”.

Thank you,

Jackie Winters

What Happens to a Baby after it is Aborted? I have some Question Please.

When a woman walks into a Clinic to have an Abortion with no medical reasons but to just abort the child?

Did she have any counseling before she made that final decision to abort?

Has VP Harass offered any Counseling for those who think they want to get Abortions? 

Has VP Harass set up any help centers for women having Abortion concerns with but no one to talk to before deciding on an Abortion, helping the woman make the right decision and not one out of fear?

Did VP Harass offer to help you have the baby so it can be Adopted after birth opposed to Aborting it?

Has VP Harass explained to you what happened to that Aborted baby after it falls out of you?

After the Baby drops out of the woman it falls into a pan or bucket and then the Baby it is rush into another room where it is quickly dissected. The chest is open up and the skin is held back, the heart, lungs, kidneys and other need part are removed for sell.

VP Plan for Aborted Babies,

  1. The woman has the right to do as she pleases with her body.
  2. The woman has the right to Abort her baby if pregnant even if it is healthy? 

Abortion is Poor advise by the VP Harass … Own Your Own Body Attitude … forget the kid and what happens to it, don’t worry about how you will feel later, you will get over it, maybe? No worry to you, after it drops out into a bucket it is quickly Dissected and sold for Medical study.

  • Ladies are you really willing to Vote for Harass just to have the right to kill your healthy Baby?
  • Will that make you feel good and make make you happy for the child God allowed you to have.
  • Have you thought about the Child you gave permission to have dissected, sold for money and how you paid to be used by those people?

Do you want to be told it is your body and you can do what you want to with it and most women do anyway so to make you feel good.

Why be made feel good so others can use your body to make money off of and then decide you don’t want the child you were given so you Abort it. Adoption is easy and better that letting someone dissect your Baby. Harass don’t Care one bit about you or any Baby.   

Don’t listen to VP Harass a woman who cares nothing for you, she did nothing for anyone for 2 ½ years as VP until she wanted to be President. She is now using you; she has done nothing for any of you except make you feel happy with her empty words. 

Can anyone name 3 things Harass has done for America that has helped anyone?

Funny I have asked so many Democrats that same question they all have the same thing to say, “Let me check and see what I can find on that”. 

        I have never got anything other than made up lies because of their Pride.

And now Mr. Obama telling black men to vote for Harris is Racist and Discriminatory. No Honorable President has ever told white people they must vote for me because I am white. And Mr. Obama doing it doesn’t raise Alarm.

Just remember all the White people that Voted for that Racist who has proven he was not worthy to have been President of the United States and Ms. Harass is just as Racist as Obama in her support of him and neither are worthy to even walk on the White House Dung pit.

As a Voter no matter your color I ask you to Vote for the Country and not for a person because of the color just so she can say I am the first Black to be President.

2022 Honda Civic Safety Defect – Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS)

The Honda Owner’s Manual states: “The LKAS may not work properly or may work improperly under the certain conditions”.

Think about that – Honda has a safety system, and I assume it wants us to use and rely on it, yet it then states in the huge handbook with 772 pages in total (incidentally, the salesman did not tell my customer about this) that it “may not work properly.” Isn’t that unbelievable?

Ever think about buying a new vehicle so that you can have the comfort and reliability of it not breaking down when you need to be somewhere on time? Many have done just that, and the woman (my customer) who did just that, whom this article is based on, was deceived like many others were when she purchased a new 2022 Honda Civic Sport. This woman has allowed me to drive her new 2022 Honda Civic Sport many times with her to verify the unsafe driving condition when using the Lane Keep Assist System (LKAS) on the freeway.

The LKAS safety system sometimes does not work properly (as confirmed in Honda’s own handbook), which could cause an accident, property damage, and or injuries.

Honda knows about this Safety Defect with the LKAS, but when the customer complained about this problem, Honda service states it is normal operation. In fact, the system makes the vehicle unsafe, and Honda knows about this safety issue even though its salesman did not disclose this important fact and known defect to this one new customer. It is buried in the huge Honda handbook – but the Question is: How many Honda customers are able to read the entire handbook, and do it before driving their new Honda? Perhaps it is less than one percent?

When customers complain about the LKAS problem, Honda Dealerships may admit there is a problem. But they refused to write anything on a repair order for my customer when this matter was complained about at a Honda dealership.

I am here to disclose that the Safety Defect Honda states it is normal operation, but unless asked to inform and acknowledge anything about it, they refuse to tell you it can cause you to lose control at high speeds. Imagine losing control of your new Honda at a high speed!

The LKAS is supposed to let you know if you drift out of the lane with a vibration in the steering wheel and give the vehicle a slight nudge back into the lane; a light will also show up on the instrument cluster.

The problem is with some 2022 Honda Civic Sport vehicles, the vehicle will improperly and unsafely change lanes by self when following ghost lines or road color change. The one Honda Civic I have tested has done that very thing and will actually at times try to pull you into the side of an 18-Wheeler Truck when passing one on the freeway (this occurred on I-5 N, a good freeway). It will actually try to drive the vehicle for you – and do it unsafely!

In the Honda Owner’s Manual 2022 Civic Sedan (at pages 584 to 587):

LKAS Conditions and Limitations
The system may not detect lane markings and therefore may not keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane under certain conditions, including the following:

Environmental conditions
• There is little contrast between lane lines and the roadway surface.
• Driving in bad weather (rain, fog, snow, etc.).
• Driving on a snowy or wet roadway.
• Driving into low sunlight (e.g. at dawn or dusk).
• Shadows of adjacent objects (trees, buildings, guard rails, vehicles, etc.) are parallel to white (or yellow) lines.
• Sudden changes between light and dark, such as the entrance or exit of a tunnel or the shadows of trees, buildings, etc.
• Driving at night or in a dark place such as a tunnel (due to low-light conditions, lane lines or the road surface may not be illuminated).
• The distance between your vehicle and the vehicle ahead of you is too short, and lane lines and the road surface are not visible.
• Strong light is reflected onto the roadway.

Roadway conditions
• Driving on a road with temporary lane markings.
• Faint, multiple, or varied lane markings are visible on the roadway due to road repairs or old lane markings.
• The roadway has merging, split, or crossing lines, such as at an intersection or crosswalk.
• The lane markings are extremely narrow, wide, or changing.
• Part of the lane markings are hidden by an object, such as a vehicle.
• The road is hilly or the vehicle is approaching the crest of a hill.
• Your vehicle is strongly shaken on uneven road surfaces.
• When objects on the road (curb, guard rail, pylons, etc.) are recognized as white (or yellow) lines.
• Driving on rough or unpaved roads, or over bumpy surfaces.
• Driving on roads with double lane lines.
• Driving on snowy or slippery roads.
• The pavement is only partially visible due to snow or puddles on the road.
• There is a film of water or puddles on the road surface.
• White (or yellow) lines are not recognized correctly due to road conditions such as curves, twists, or hills.
• Driving on unpaved or nutted roads.
• Passing through an exit or an interchange.

Vehicle conditions
• When lighting is weak due to dirt covering the headlight lenses, or there is poor visibility in a dark place due to the headlights being improperly adjusted.
• The front of the camera is covered by dirt, fog, rain, mud, wet snow, seals, accessories, stickers, or film on the windshield.
• Driving at night or in a dark place (e.g., a tunnel) with the headlights off.
• There is residue on the windshield from the windshield wipers.
• An abnormal tire or wheel condition (incorrect sizes, varied sizes or construction, improperly inflated, compact spare tire*, etc.).
• The vehicle is tilted due to a heavy load in the trunk or rear seats.
• The suspension has been modified
• Tire chains* are installed.
*Not available on all models

That is quite a long list! With all these limitations stated in the Honda handbook but not discussed at time of purchase, is this a safe system? Of course not!
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
By the way, there is another problem that occurs on this 2022 Honda Civic Sport I have tested, and that is the high-speed torque at 75 mph when driving with traffic; the vehicle has high speed torque. The vehicle steering torque makes it pull left and right inside the lane like it is fighting itself. I reported this to the Honda Dealerships, and they said all is normal.

From the Honda Owner’s Manual, page 579 states: “If the vehicle drifts toward either left or right lane line due to the system applying torque, turn off the LKAS and have your vehicle checked by a dealer,” The owner did report that concern but was told there is no problem found and that it is working as designed. Working as designed? Incredible!

There is some good news: If the road conditions are good, you can use the system according to Honda Owner’s Manual:
“When the System can be Used” – as long as the road is in perfect condition, sunny and mild, flat and straight roads.
The system can be used when the following conditions are met. (on page 579)
• The lane in which you are driving has detectable lane markers on both sides, and your vehicle is in the center of the lane.
• The vehicle is traveling between about 45 and 90 mph.
• You are driving on a straight or slightly curved road.
• The turn signals are off.
• The brake pedal is not depressed.

Advice given by two (2) Honda Dealership Service Advisors at two (2) separate and different Honda Dealerships is to turn the LKAS off. Both service advisers said they witnessed the problem with their own family vehicles. One of the service writers said, she drives with hers turned off, and I responded, yes, we can do that, but we are paying $3,000 (estimated) for the use of it on our new vehicle. The second service writer at another Honda Dealership told us he does not allow his wife to drive her new 2022 Honda with the LKAS on but makes her drive with it off.

If you have or know of a similar problem and want some help, you can get help at a law firm I contacted, who may be doing a Civil Lawsuit to help us. Remember, this LKAS costs us a lot of money, and much worse can cause injury and or damage, and not being able to use it and not advised of that fact before or at time of purchase is unfair business practice at our expense.

The problem you have just read about is the same problem that my customer has complained about. Currently, there is no known fix for this Lane-Keep-Assist-System problem according to Honda service advisors.

What can you do to get help with your defective LKAS in your 2022 Honda Civic Sport?

Won, $5090 for Diminished Value LA Court

January 07, 2022 Diminished Value

My name is Jackie Winters and I am a Diminished Value Expert. Today we won another Diminished Value case for a total of $5,090 for a rear end collision.

After we met at the court and went over the file I had prepared and I had prepared a brief for the Judge, this gives him an overview he can read in a matter of seconds and know exactly what happened. We walked into the court house and went into the room for the Judge to judge my client’s case for a rear end collision the Ins Co are refusing to pay.

Everyone in the court room is ask to go outside and try settle the case, some do settle but my clients case did not so we had to stand before the Judge and present his case.

We walked up to the desk in front of the Judge when his name was called and the Judge ask why was he here? My client said Your Honor I am here for my loss of value caused by the defendant when he rear ended my car.

The Judge ask the Defendant was the accident your fault and the Defendant answered “Yes Sir”.

The Judge then ask my client how the accident happen and he said “I was at a stop sign when the Defendant rear ended me”, the Judge then ask about the Diminished Value report and my client ask the Judge of I could speak for him about the Diminished Value and the Structural damages and the Judge said yes.

The Judge ask me about the Diminished Value report I wrote for James and after my explanation of it and how we come to get the numbers he agreed it was accurate and he admitted it into the court, he also asked me about the damages and what had happened. After I explained the report and why the car cannot be made whole, he said I  will give you my decision in 5 to 7 days.

Seven days later I got a call from my client James and he said we won the case for the full amount ask for, he was only allowed to ask for $5,000 since he owned a Car Lot and the car was for sale, so $5,000 is the limit he can ask for, all other claims can ask for up to $10,000 for loss of value.

Even though we won, I do expect the Ins Co to appeal the case in hope my client will back down, most people think you need an attorney for Superior Court but not here, I was the client speaker given permission by the client and agreed by the Judge and he allowed me to speak about the Diminished Value and the Structure damage done in the accident, the car was rear ended and required some panel to be replaced and that is structural damage and the car will never be made whole again as it was and we proved that fact.

Remember if you get in an accident not your fault, you are entitled to get Diminished Value for your loss, all you go to do is prove it and remember most Ins Co will appeal the case and you do not need an attorney to go to court with you in Superior Court when they appeal your case, we have won all Superior Court Cases so far.

Good Luck and tell a friend,

Diminished Value Claim, Does the Pro-Temp Judge Know the Law?

Diminished Value, when you go after it, most likely you will be forced to go to Small Claims court and will end up in Superior Court. This in order to get the money the CA Law states you are entitled to get as long as the accident was not your fault and the vehicle has been repaired.

You will have a loss of value when you sell or attempt to trade it into a Dealership, the loss will be anywhere from 10% loss to as much as 90% loss, 80% loss is the industry standard maximum allowable damage before a vehicle should be Totaled out or Junked out.

Some shop will work it so the 80% will not matter as long as they get the work, they will give a lower estimate of repairs and then after the vehicle has used that estimate of repairs a new estimate of repair may be given pushing the 80-% off the scale, your loss their gain and  it is your loss when a vehicle should be Totaled and junked out but not and repaired.

Truth is, not all Judges you stand before are real Judges but what is called a Pro-Temp Judge who does know or may not know the law listed as 3903J Jurors Instruction and will not apply it even as it is the law. 

I met one Pro-Temp Judge who is an embarrassment to the law. On my Diminished Value case he laughed at it with the Ins Co man and we lost the case. This Judge refused to acknowledge the 3903J Juror’s instruction to give Diminished Value, he sided with the Ins Co man over the law and agreed with him as Diminished Value being a Stigma, he was wrong. That is the reason you can lose your case as I have personally witnessed, I should have taken the advice and files a complaint against him but he is so old he would likely be dead before the filing went through and I don’t see the need to but a black mark on his records this late in his life.

First let me explain the law states it very clear that you are entitled to get Diminished Value when you are in an accident not your fault and your vehicle is repaired. This law 3903J backed by CA1 and CA2 is making sure the Judge knows the plaintiff is to get that Diminished Value when the accident in their your fault and the vehicle has been repaired. This law can be verified by searching the courts information on line.

I have prepared many Diminished Value report for people as far away as N.Y., NV, AZ and CA from 65% in NV to 75% in NY and 80% in CA for loss of value. The Diminished Value loss determined by each states anywhere from 65% as much as 80%. I have been doing this work mostly for law firms.

So far all of our cases won in Small Claims Court but one and all in Superior Court all in CA where we went to court for the clients. The one and only case we lost was due to a Judge in San Jose, CA who made a joke out of Diminished Value and laughed at us with the insurance adjuster calling it a Stigma. The Pro Temp Judge was an embarrassment to the courts and good attorneys so be aware of whether or not he knows the 3903J laws.

My point is if the Judge does not know to enforce 3903J, you have the right to ask to go in front of a real Judge who does know the law and will enforce it.

Here is the Judge’s, jurors instruction to the Jury 3903J:

Damage to Personal Property (Economic Damage) [Insert number, e.g., “10.”] The harm to [name of plaintiff]’s [item of personal property, e.g., automobile]. To recover damages for harm to personal property, [name of plaintiff] must prove the reduction in the [e.g., automobile]’s value or the reasonable cost of repairing it, whichever is less. [If there is evidence of both, [name of plaintiff] is entitled to the lesser of the two amounts.] [However, if you find that the [e.g., automobile] can be repaired, but after repairs it will be worth less than it was before the harm, the damages are (1) the difference between its value immediately before the harm and its lesser value immediately after the repairs have been made; plus (2) the reasonable cost of making the repairs. The total amount awarded may not exceed the [e.g., automobile]’s value immediately before the harm occurred.] To determine the reduction in value if repairs cannot be made, you must determine the fair market value of the [e.g., automobile] immediately before the harm occurred and then subtract the fair market value immediately after the harm occurred. “Fair market value” is the highest price that a willing buyer would have paid to a willing seller, assuming:

1. That there is no pressure on either one to buy or sell; and

2. That both buyer and seller have reasonable knowledge of all relevant facts about the condition and quality of the [e.g., automobile].

When we at Lemon Protection write a Diminished Value report we make sure to cover each thing the court requires to prove your case and if we go to court with someone as their expert we prepare a Brief for the Judge so he will have a clear understanding of your Diminished Value. 

Good Luck, let someone know there is help and they are entitled to get Diminished Value, any question let me know,

How to Catch Fake E-Mails that look like they are real but are not

I have gotten some fake e-mail from thieves and like many did open their e-mail and then realized it was fake, in the past I did lose my ID and pray you don’t so I pray this information will help you.

Here is how the thieves get you to open their e-mail so they can rob you, it is so simple but I will show you how to tell a fake address when you get one, you may need a magnifying glass or some good strong glasses or do a copy and paste to see if you can find it there on the e-mail.

The e-mail address that is fake and one that is real.

  1. Real E-Mail Address       JoesBankinAmerica.com
  2. Fake e-mail address JoesBankinAmerica.com NOTE: After the .com the rest of the e-mail address is in light gray so it can’t bee seen. On my computer I was able to copy and paste the e-mail address and then I changes the color of the full address and what is followed by it and turned it all blue and everything showed up. I can’t do that on this site but when you get an e-mail you are not sure of, look at the end of the e-mail address and look close. It may have a light grey address that direst your information to them and not your bank or wherever you do business at. Here is the full FAKE Address attached at the end of the fake e-mail         JoesBankinAmerica.com/gotomyaddresssoicanroband steelfromthem/@robmail.com the last part is the extension.

I went to googles to find this info with an address to the Gov span dept.

You can report spam to www.ftc.gov/complaint. Please especially report any scam that started with an email and resulted in you losing money. The Federal Trade Commission receives about 300,000 samples of deceptive spam – forwarded by computer users – each day, and stores it in a database. July 28, 2004
