Automobile Maintenance Records

I had my car serviced for the first time yesterday. Last December, a storm and accompanying flood wreaked havoc on my previous car. My insurance company declared the auto a total wreck and told me to go out a buy another vehicle since my then 3-year old car would never be the same.

As I was driving to and from the car dealership, I must have passed 6 former dealships. Seeing those empty storefronts with vast parking lots surrounding them reminded me that I should keep my own set of maintenance records for our cars and not depend on a dealer to keep them for me. By scanning and keeping a digitized copy of my maintenance and repair receipts, I'll have the evidence to prove that the car was properly maintained and eligible for any repairs covered under the vehicle's warranty. I plan to keep those records in Our Heritage Vault.

Prepare to Share

We've been working on a new brochure to describe our products and services. It all comes down to "Prepare to Share."

When a family decides to prepare to share, it reviews its possessions and selects the things that are important to it. It chooses to digitize favorite photographs or collect digitized ones in one place. It determines that having the family's health histories and prescription drugs gathered in single location is a good thing to share with physicians and emergency care providers.

Our Heritage Vault's Important Things Index is a free checklist of the items a family may want to share. The biggest issue preventing a family from sharing its heritage may be time. It takes time to review a checklist items and pick those it wants to share. It also takes time to prepare the material and put it a place that is safe but accessible to the people that will enjoy or find the information helpful.

Our Heritage Vault offers solutions. If you want to trade dollars for time, we can digitally replicate photos, important documents, letters, and other sentimental items for you. We send your original materials back to you with your digitally archived material saved on a CD as well as a free virtual safe deposit box for you to try at Our Heritage Vault. Visit our Facebook page to learn the details about our sensational summer sale. For just $99.00 we'll create digital replicas of up to 75 individual photographs and 75 documents or letters.
