West Lafayette Ind. Os every dollar spent on auto repairs, 53 cents are wasted on unnecessary or faulty work, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation.

Center for Environmental Studies. J the survey covered 62 repair shops (J m the metropolitan areas of Atlanta. Houston. Miami, Nashville. Philadelphia, New York City, and Westchester County in New York. Researchers checked each car used in the study before taking it to a repair shop.

each of five cars, then took them to five different repair shops. A total of $425 worth of unnecessary repairs were performed, including a complete tune-up and replacement of the ignition wiring. Repair waste appears in many forms, says Gary Krutz. associate professor of agricultural engineering at Purdue University. Shops may do needed repairs incorrectly or perform unnecessary operations. Some, for example, repair the car by replacing parts until the problem disappears, charging the owner for all'parts used. Special package deals, which give the consumer one discount price on several repairs, can be another source of waste. Generally, a car does not need all of the repairs at the same time, he notes. The work may have to be repeated later at full price. An average two-car family spends close to S3OO a year on auto repairs. You can reduce this total by asking friends to recommend

reputable repair shops and by staying with one reliable mechanic who will get to know a particular car. New car dealers usually have the greatest expertise relating to repairs on their particular brands. Krutz states. Car buffs are also good sources of information, and may be able to help you diagnose the, problem before you take the car into the shop. In addition, be sure to ask for guarantees of any work done, and report problems to your local Better Business Bureau and consumer protection agencies, he adds.

State agent explains insurance 'proof' law

Independent Insurance Agents of Indiana members have received numerous calls from Hoosier motorists confused over the requirements of the new Indiana law requiring proof of financial responsibility to receive 1963 vehicle registrations. Bob Craft, executive vice president of the association, explains that the proof required by the Bureau of Motor Vehicles does not mean that Indiana has a mandatory auto insurance law. Craft said, “under Indiana law, there are three ways for a person to show proof of financial responsibility, posting a $40,000 bond with the state treasurer either with cash or securities, obtaining a certificate of self insurance or stating the insurance company name and policy number of a vehicle insurance policy. The BMV has added a line on the 1983 registration forms for the insurance company name and policy number, but either of the other two options will fulfill the requirement and permit motorists to obtain their 1983 registration.” Another change in Indiana law regarding vehicle insurance also has raised concern, according to Craft. He noted that the 1982 General Assembly passed a bill requiring all insurance companies to provide uninsured motorist property damage coverage as part of liability policies covering vehicles garaged or registered in Indiana. Craft said, “the state now has a minimum limit of SIO,OOO of UMPD insurance in addition to the bodily injury coverage of $15,000 per person and $30,000 per accident. Insurance companies wJ) knows 1.

THE k H Syracuse jh|| Travel Donna Warble Cozumel was discovered by scuba divers of the 1950's to be the world's second largest underwater reef. Since then, this /Mexican resort, which lies fifty miles south of Cancun, has also been visited by deep sea fishermen, boating enthusiasts, sun worshippers and swimmers. It is the famous Pa la near Reef, which stretches for a distance of three miles, that is considered to be one of the most spectacular coral formations in the world. Underwater visibility ranges from 150-250 feet. However, you do not have to be a diver to experience Cozumel. Birdwatchers will enjoy the island's aviary friends as much as carefree vacationers will love the new crop of restaurants and nightlife. Cozumel is a barefoot paradise.

have been required to offer UMPD coverage in such minimum amounts to policies since September 1,1982. “People receiving renewal notices are now aware of this addition, but many may not know that this coverage was added at the direction of the legislature, and not at the whim of insurance companies.” Craft stated that motorists can reject UMPD insurance by written notice to the insurance company or agent if they desire, but insurance companies and that ITAI encourage Hoosiers to not do so because it provides them with very essential coverage. A final change to automobile insurance will take effect June 1 of this year, when the minimum limits in Indiana for bodily injury and property damage insurance will increase to 25 50 10— $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident of injuries, and SIO,OOO maximum property damage protection. Craft said that most motorists carry insurance coverage in excess of these limits, but for those who just carry the minimum, policies will be adjusted accordingly by their company.

By EDWARD THORLUND If President Reagan is right that fear alone is keepiiig interest rates above two points higher than they should be. a further decline is very likely. It’s already apparent this Congress is in no mood to accept projected deficits of S2OO billions or more. Mr. Reagan would reduce them with his package of freezes and limited government spending. Congress may not go along with all of that but will likely curb defense spending more. The end

result — and this can only be a guess as of February, when Congress has seven or eight months still ahead — is for a deficit reduced to something like $125 billion. This is too high, fifty billion higher than a group of experts. Republicans and Democrats, recently called on the president to accept as the maximum. A deficit of $125 billion, if Congress were certain the trend was definitely lowering deficits, might not drive interest rates up, especially since recovery is slow. A S2OO billion borrowing spree by the Treasury would, on the other hand, push interest rates up.
