ABQ Trolley Co. & Tours of Old Town are excited to introduce a chilling ghost tour returning to Albuquerque in October 2010, the Trolley of Terror. Join us on a 90-minute driving tour on-board a completely-custom, uniquely-Albuquerque, open-air Trolley as we travel the streets of ABQ with trained ghost hunters. Still photography is welcome.

Albuquerque, a city of legends and one of North America's oldest cities, is steeped both in history and the paranormal. Throughout the city lurk the shades of yesteryear, surrounded by the memories of public hangings, duels, horrific murders and locations haunted by those who have passed over to the other side. Vengeful lovers, murdered soldiers and mysterious specters await around every turn!

Be among the few who are adventurous enough to see ABQ as it has never been seen before - through the eyes of trained ghost hunters!

The Trolley of Terror includes the following Albuquerque locations:

Historic Old Town, old Bernalillo County Courthouse, Wool Warehouse, Martineztown, Huning-Highland Historic Neighborhood, Memorial Hospital, Albuquerque Press Club, Barelas Rail Yards, Downtown and more.

For Ladies whose car is 5 years old or older, OR Has 60 - 90,000 Miles or More

You've Got A TIME BOMB TickingIn Your Car That Will Leave You Stranded In The Heat On The Freeway… There is this device in the front side of your car's engine that if not changed at the proper time will fail, literally tear your engine apart, leave your stranded on the freeway; AND cost you $3,000 to $5,000 to repair with days in the shop.
 
I'll bet one of the worst nightmares in your life is the thought of having to deal with a breakdown on your car out in busy traffic, right? I don't want that to happen to you.  
Most of you know me, Scott Chazdon, your Doctor of Automotive Wellness, and I don't want this to happen to you so I've created a special offer below to determine if you are at risk. Your Timing Belt Could Destroy Your Engine

This engine device is called a "Timing Belt". See that picture at the right. Looks complicated doesn't it. It drives most of the systems in your car that keep it running. AND it is on borrowed time. Car manufacturers say you must change it between 60,000 and 90,000 miles (depending on the type of car).
 
After a time, your timing belt gets worn and breaks. Most of the time when that happens, parts deep inside your engine get badly damaged or destroyed, costing $3,00 - $5,000 to repair.
 
When my clients break down, it always seems to happen just when they have the kids or dogs in the back of the car, in the middle of a busy freeway, with BIG honking 18 wheelers and cars zooming past on both sides scaring the living daylights out of you.
 
I know you don't want to risk that happening to you. BUT, I'll bet no one is telling you about the risk.
 
There is a simple solution to keeping your timing belt from leaving you stranded. We'll replace the timing belt before it's TOO LATE, and have you on your way and it only takes about a day in our shop.
 
Here's the deal: We can never tell you exactly when the timing belt will crater your car's engine, so replacing it now before that happens is the most prudent action you can take.

F*R*E*E "Peace of Mind" Call
So You Can Check If Your Car Is At Risk Call 256-3333, East Side, or 717-2211, West Side  Right Now.

We will look up your car in our database and tell you if you ARE or ARE NOT currently at risk. As always, we guarantee we will never recommend a repair that is not truly necessary. Wouldn't you rather be safe than sorry. You may not need it, but if you do, then what? We'll help you make the best decision. AND, we will give you $57 off the Timing Belt replacement (if you need it) or any other repair. Because we have a lull in our business just before the start of our "Winter Preparation Service and Repair Season," we can offer you an extra incentive to do it now before it cost you $1,000s.

$57 Discount
On Your Timing Belt Change With This Coupon
If Your Call before September 22nd to Schedule Your Appointment
PLUS: We will have one of our courteous drivers
pick up and return your car if you need it.
