www.trustedregina.com celebrated it's 1 year anniversary on April 15th 2013 ..the directory has had over 45,000 visitors ( most from Regina - 81% from Saskatchewan ), yet we get questions on a weekly basis from the public and businesses who are unsure what we actually do and what being Trusted means !  

The Trusted Regina Directory team of www.trustedregina.com want to make sure that the public knows exactly who we are , what we stand for ( and against ) and how we do what we do , so we asked our wonderful Facebook and Twitter fans to submit questions about Trusted to us , so we could answer them..50 questions later we knew we had a great show ( and that we had done the right thing to ask!!).

Sean Dean and the team then chose 5 lucky winners from these questions to thank them for their great questions, see the list of prizes and winners below!

Reed Security believes when you become a client you will be entering into a relationship – one they want to grow and become long term...they work hard to meet all your Regina Alarm & security needs from day one!

Here they share a great tip on See Who's At the Front Door with Your Apple or Android Device:

Remote View in HD

When the condo owners at The LUXE Building wanted to See who's at the front door and get better security they partnered with Reed Security.

The Problem:

• Many multi-unit buildings can no longer (affordably) display the front door camera on their TV's.
• Occupants could previously view the front door camera on a TV channel when Shaw Cable was the only cable TV option.
• The old TV solution is no longer a viable option because many multi unit tennants have a combination of Shaw Cable, MAX, Satelite TV, Internet TV, or no TV at all.
• Retrofitting a 24 suite finished building of this size with the old TV solution would cost more than $15,000.

The Solution:

We met the client and customized a ReedHD hi-def Video Surveillance system with the following features and benefits:

• Protecting the entire building with ReedHD hi-def cameras was nearly the same cost as retrofitting the building with an expired solution.
• Condo owners can access ReedHD cameras with their PC, iPhone, iPad, or Android devices - unlimited Users
• Condo owners also talk to the visitor at the front door with an audio intercom before letting them into the building. This was previously installed.
• Interior ReedHD cameras protect all Entrances including the Parking Garage
• Exterior ReedHD cameras protect the Building and the Parking Lot.
• Some cameras have Wide Dynamic Range capabilities (optimized image quality in bright and shadow conditions)
• Some cameras have I.R. Illumination Nightvision (see in the dark)
• 24/7 digital recording of all cameras for 14 to 30 days
• Professional Installation - On Time and On Budget
• up to 3 Years Manufacturers Limited Warranty to protect their investment
• Reed Security Award Winning Service

"We are VERY pleased. Certainly everyone from Reed Security that I have dealt with has been fantastic!"

Here they share some great tips on Potholes and dealing with Winter's Damage:

With the snow slowly melting, that mean's potholes! And you can start to think about how to deal with the Winter's damage.  

Keep these driving tips in mind this spring as you travel:

Hitting potholes can throw your car's front end out of alignment. If you feel your car "pulling" during driving, that's a clue that you could have a problem. Check the tread on your tires: uneven tread wear can be a sign of misalignment. If you hit a severe pothole, have us check your vehicle's alignment and tire balance.  

When you hit a pothole you can damage your tire and/or the metal wheel of your vehicle. Keeping your tires properly inflated will help reduce damage from potholes and other road hazards.

The impact of potholes on tires increases dramatically with speed and can cause hidden, internal damage that could lead to tire failure weeks, or even months, later. It is best to avoid potholes entirely, but if that's not possible, don't brake during pothole impact. Instead, apply brakes before hitting a pothole and release them just prior to impact. Braking during the impact sets up the tire and wheel assembly for a "solid hit" against the edge of the hole.  

Hopefully this snow will go away soon, and we can start enjoying Spring! But while we wait for that to happen...

Wash the under body:

Wintertime driving will coat the bottom of your car with salt, sand and other grime that can cause corrosion. Corrosion can lead to rust problems, which can make your car much harder to resell or even dangerous to drive.  

Replace worn wipers. Winter can be brutal on your wipers—make sure they’re ready for spring showers. Check that the rubber isn't dry or cracked, then turn them on and make  sure they’re properly cleaning the wind shield. If you see a problem, come in and get a new set installed! 

Bergen's GUARANTEE that you will be treated to both friendly service and quality workmanship....and after speaking to their clients we can definitely say that they do all they claim and all in a style all of their own! sure they’re properly cleaning the wind shield. If you see a problem, come in and get a new set installed!

Bergens are a local family business and from the moment you walk in the door you will be treated like family!

Bergens Auto Body Regina  are proud to have an amazing 80 Years Auto Body Experience, and they have been serving Regina Auto Body needs for over 30 Years....they have a loyal customer base that simply wouldn't think of going anywhere else. Bergen's are an SGI Accredited Regina Auto Body and Collision Repair shop  , they offer courtesy cars to their clients and they specialize in foreign vehicles.

While Bergens Auto Body Regina appreciate your business, we know it's never fun to get into a collision in the first place.

Here they recommend that you follow these simple precautions in the first few months of your new finish's life:

In the first 90 days...

Do not wax or polish the vehicle - this will allow the finish to dry and harden completely. (Do not use silicone containing waxes or polishes.)

In the first 30 days...

Do not use a commercial car wash. Stiff brushes or sponges could mar the finish and damage the surface. Wash the vehicle by hand with cool water and a very mild wash solution. Be sure to use a soft cloth or sponge.

Wash the vehicle in the shade - never in the sun. (Never use Dish Soap)

Do not dry wipe the vehicle - always use clean water. Dry wiping could scratch the finish.

Do not park under trees which drop sap or near factories with heavy smoke fallout. Sap or industrial fallout mar or spot a freshly painted surface.  

Do not spill gasoline, oil, antifreeze, transmission fluid or windshield solvent on the new finish. If you do...immediately rinse off with water. Do not wipe.

Do not scrape ice or snow from the surface. Your snow scraper can act like a paint scraper if the finish is new. Brush off the loose material with a soft snow brush.

Because of the acid content in bird droppings, you should wash it off as soon as possible. It will damage the fresh paint job.

Bergen's GUARANTEE that you will be treated to both friendly service and quality workmanship....and after speaking to their clients we can definitely say that they do all they claim and all in a style all of their own!
