Have you winterized your Matcom yet?
Winter is coming up soon and we don't want your matcom breaking down during the middle of a cold blizzardy night. Make sure you get your Matcom serviced today for an easy ride through the winter months!!!

3. Makes the question ...
"Where's yer dipstick ?" a bit mute (or is that moot).

4. Be sure to change the air in your Matcom, too.
I "rotate the air" every three months, just to be sure.

You could also take your Matcom to one of those new places where they'll hoist it up on a pneumatic lift and closely inspect the filthy, abused, dirt-encrusted underside from their high-tech, well-prepared Pitt.

Not only will they top all the vital bodily fluids off, for a nominal service charge, they'll detail your Matcom, using a shammy and Q-tips to clean years of accumulated gunk out of every nook and cranny in those deep, dark, hidden places in your Matcom.

At such a time, you may also want to request the soft-brush wash. Nothing will make your Matcom sparkle like a soft-brush wash!

After all that, your Matcom should be spanking new!

5. Will this help increase the trade-in value of my matcom??
What's the trade-in value for a matcom? If I take the time to get matcom all cleaned up could I expect a higher trade-in value for the newer model matcom?

6. Oh, yes!
You could also get one of those new kits they sell on TV, where you can fix all the little dings and dents in your Matcom.

It uses the miracle of suction. Just apply the high-tech suction device and then turn the knob briskly.

There's also a special paint that will fully retore the body color of your Matcom. In their TV commercials, they demonstrate that you can even set a fire on the hood of your Matcom, and it won't hurt it a bit!

I haven't really kept up on the book value of a used Matcom. There must be someplace on-line that will tell you. There's BlueBook.com, but I don't think any Matcom has gotten the blue books treatment in quite some time.
