JFC XPRESSTIRE CENTER
Kevin honed his skills while work-ing at John’s Foreign Car Service - which happens to be South Orange County's oldest independent auto-motive repair shop; owned by his father, master mechanic Russ Gra-ham. Every summer growing up, he learned the ropes of the family business as well as what it takes to
provide customers with both quality and value. He attended St. Edward's School and after graduating in the third alumni class at JSerra High School, he earned a degree from Point Loma University in San Diego. After graduation, Kevin found himself in the same predicament as many recent college grads - searching for a job. He faced the challenge head on and turned it into an opportunity to start his own enterprise.
Graham combined his know-how and business education with the entrepreneurial spirit he learned from his father and opened his own tire store in early 2012. Russ stood on the corner of Crown Valley Parkway and Forbes Road with a sign pointing toward his son’s shop every Saturday. Within a year, the business outgrew its location, so Kevin moved it to a larger space adjacent to his dad’s shop. A 32-year indus-try veteran, Russ knew that getting the right message out to potential customers is the most difficult aspect of owning a business. Kevin is constantly reinvesting in his company and securing the latest software and equipment to offer the high-est level of service to his customers.
With the expansion, JFC Xpress is able to provide a larger selection of in-stock tires as well as a full range of “xpress”—one day or less—services, including alignments, suspension

Free Rotation, rebalance, and flat repair with any tire purchase
Free Walk-in brake and tire checks
work, oil changes, and brake jobs. A huge inventory of tires in all ranges are on hand every day, including high perfor-mance models, light truck and “run flats.” Graham keeps his overhead low by buying in bulk, and he passes the discounts on to his clients. In fact, Kevin states that his prices are lower than any other local shop and even lower than his warehouse store neighbor a block away. “95% of my business is refer-rals,” says Kevin, “and that motivates me to do the best job I can every time.” When clients find out how much they’re sav-ing—up to $100 per set of tires—word-of-mouth advertising spreads quickly. JFC Xpress guarantees the lowest prices and will match any competitor at any time.
While most local automotive stores parse work out to other shops, JFC Xpress keeps customer waiting times to a mini- mum by offering all services in house and using state-of-the-art technology including dealer-level diagnostic software, tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) and “touchless” tire-changing equipment. This allows Graham's technicians to quickly perform a battery of tests and diagnose issues on the spot. The “touchless” equipment ensures the perfect instal-lation and fit of new tires without ever touching the wheel—ideal for after-market rims and high-end “driving machines.”
Kevin knows that time plus good service equals success in the automotive industry, and he’s set out to prove himself in the community he calls home. His parents, Russ and Sheila, couldn’t be prouder. “Kevin knows more about tires than I’ll ever know,” Russ admits, “I don’t even bother mounting tires anymore—I send all that business to him. JFC Xpress is your one stop shop for all your foreign & domestic car repair needs. ” Check out JFC Xpress’s May specials and come see how much you can save!

You wouldn’t expect the fresh-faced guy who greets customers at JFC Xpress Tire Center to be owner Kevin Graham. What he lacks in wrinkles, however,
he makes up for in experience, customer service, and guaranteed low pricing.
On one recent occasion, I got an estimate of $500 for a repair of my BMW 750. Kevin then fixed the minor problem for $50! His service is just incredible. If he has to keep my car for a while, he will often drive me home himself—he’s even dropped my car off at my house after hours — Ron Luna, loyal client

robyn & MaTT webbIn today’s low inventory market, many say getting a house sold is easy. Getting a purchase price beyond your expectations, in a market still weighed down by distress sales – that’s where skill, expertise and innovation matter. Robyn and Matt Webb, of OC Real Estate 411, are bringing a business approach to real estate. These two Broker/Owners are putting their USC MBAs to work and offering home sellers a unique approach to listing their home for sale.
The Webbs’ “Design To Sell” concept offers homeowners a “mini-makeover” on their home, leveraging the Webbs’ extensive experience in remodeling and home staging. Their services are likened to those of a General Contractor and Interior Designer, and are included in the cost of their listing commission. What’s more, they tie their commission directly to the results on the sale of your home, giving the homeowner pure upside.
In addition to their marketing background, both Robyn and Matt came from technology jobs in the corporate world prior to starting their real estate business in 2004. “We know that over 90% of buyers are using the Internet to look for homes. We are using cutting-edge technology and innovative internet marketing to assure our clients’ homes get massive exposure and a strong buyer response,” Matt says.
From a business perspective, OC Real Estate 411 shows homeowners a definitive return on investment, not just for the improvements to their homes, but for the commission paid as well. “Whether a client has $500 or $20,000, we will show them a significant return on our investment. We strive to exceed expectations, and deliver “Disney-like” service,” Robyn adds.
“OC Real Estate 411 is a top-notch company, but even more than that, Matt and Robyn are terrific people. They are
genuine and caring people that we now consider among our best friends, and that is one of the highest recommendations that we can provide,” share Heather and Brent Barbour of San Clemente.

Mark greenSavers Home LoansYou may have a friend in the mortgage busi-ness and not even know it! Mark Green of Savers Home Loans in downtown San Cle-mente works to simplify the often confusing and frustrating process of applying for and closing on a loan. A proud graduate from the University of Oregon, he set up shop in South OC 24 years ago to specialize in residential lending. Green says he’s proud to be “the loan guy” because he enjoys “getting families into houses.” Along with his wife Helen, who manages operations and a staff of loan officers and processors, Green has enjoyed watching thousands of buyers achieve their homeownership dream and has saved borrowers countless dollars through refinancing existing loans.
As a mortgage broker, Mark is able to serve his customer’s interests by having a variety of products at his fingertips. On the wholesale side, he can secure 20 quotes from financial institutions in minutes to determine which option is most appropriate and cost-effec-tive. He operates on an old-fashioned, but
proven business philosophy: provide superior service at a competitive price. Mark’s straight-forward and honest approach has proven suc-cessful. He and his staff go into each loan with an agreement and close the loan as promised. This transparency and Savers Home Loans’ discounted pricing structure explain the lon-gevity of the business—even through the eco-nomic roller coaster ride of the last decade.
Savers Home Loans also specializes in secur-ing H.A.R.P. (Home Affordable Refinance Pro-gram) loans for customers who are underwater on their current mortgages and whose loans closed prior to June 1, 2009. This government-sponsored relief program is designed to pro-vide a more stable mortgage for struggling borrowers and even has implications for home-owners with equity who fear that they won’t qualify for traditional refinancing.
Check out SaversHomeLoans.com to learn more about the limited-time H.A.R.P. pro-gram and other mortgage alternatives. This “frustration-free zone” is packed with useful
information and tools for comparing and educating yourself on one of the most important purchases you’ll make. Mark believes that an informed custom-er is the best customer and strives to make the loan process easy and to perform his job with integrity.

naTaLie VizirThe remarkable success of Natalie Vizir may be attributed to any number of factors. The concierge service and superb market knowl-edge reflect her uncompromising approach to business. “I believe, with a passion, in do-ing what you love,” asserts Natalie.
Natalie transitioned into real estate after es-tablishing a 20+ year successful corporate ca-reer with HP. With incredible diligence and an unwavering focus, she thrived in challenging and demanding executive roles, received nu-merous professional awards and was selected to be in HP’s executive leadership academy. She capitalized on the opportunity to take early retirement to build her own business. “I’ve been interested in houses since I was a child,” she reveals. “Real estate was always something I believed in.”
She interviewed several companies, and dur-ing the process, she remembered having a chance encounter with the CEO of Century 21 on a flight to the East Coast. Impressed with Natalie’s professionalism and drive, he arranged for her to meet one of the leading
real estate organizations. In 2009 she delved into the world of real estate with her trade-mark assiduousness. She was involved in the company’s record-breaking 2012 New-port Beach transaction, which ranked as the company’s highest-ever residential closing. Working with out-of-state buyers with a very particular list of criteria, Natalie negotiated an $8 million home purchase with an impressive 7-day escrow.
While her concierge level of service is ap-preciated by her high-end and luxury home clientele, Natalie notes that every individual with whom she works is privy to her top-notch care. From first-time buyers to savvy investors, she offers exceptional representation, skillful negotiation, and strategic and comprehen-sive marketing strategies. Natalie is known in the industry to help sellers get record break-ing prices for their homes.
She has earned top-producer status for her efforts, and while industry accolades are the benchmarks by which many real estate agents measure their progress, she notes that her
business is driven by people, not numbers. “It’s great to be recognized and to earn awards, but what truly motivates me is the opportunity to assist people,” offers Natalie. Natalie wants clients to enjoy positive experiences, to obtain incredible properties, and to maximize the returns on their sales.
She has obtained her Broker’s License, and is cur-rently working at RE/MAX Signature Services.

Q: We are in debt and can’t stop arguing over money and this is hurting our relationship. How do we resolve this issue?
A: You are not alone! Money is the number one issue couples argue over. Sadly, money is also a significant factor in many divorces. Couples fight about money for:
1) Power and control: Someone wants to be the dictator of how money is spent and saved
2) Different priorities and goals in spending: Long-term savings vs. immediate wants and needs
3) Ineffective communications: Blaming and heated arguments 4) Different spending habits when it comes to money: One
person may be CHEAP the other is a spend-thrift5) Materialism: A prevalent Orange County issue!
One of the best solutions to this problem is to seek couples therapy and to get a Financial Advisor who is a neutral third party. I recently met with Brian Walsh, Financial Advisor from Edward Jones in Laguna Niguel. I was amazed at the services Financial Advisors provide to their clients. 1) Brian does not charge for a consultation. 2) You can walk in with your
statements and bills in a shoebox and he will help build a financial budget and PLAN.
3) This plan includes your current budget, saving money for your retirement, and college.
Brian stated, “Many couples/individuals come in stressed over finances. Much of that stress is relieved when a PLAN is in place and an objective third party is involved.” This is an excellent solution to help get you back on track; do not let money issues ruin your relationship. Let me help you work out your differences when it comes to money issues, along with using our community experts

Ok, very good and almost there. Let's eliminate the top two lines in the upper right corner, it's worded better in the scripted lines just below and it's basically duplicated, then maybe we can make that font size bigger (meaning the State of the Art stuff). Also, can you add "Worker's Comp." after Medicare and before "and all PPO", we do see a lot of work related injuries. Thank You!

Bésame, which means “kiss me” in Spanish, is a fitting name for Gary Hut-ton’s restaurant. With roots steeped in traditional Mexican cuisine, Bésame Mexican Grill has produced a sophisticated menu reflecting its love and re-spect for the old and the new. Located in Dana Point's Monarch Bay Plaza where PCH and Crown Valley meet, Bésame is nearing its one-year anniver-sary and has developed a loyal local following along the way.
The Guacamole, the Queso Fundido, or the Fish Ceviche, served with large chunks of fresh fish, mango, cucumber, chile and onion, is a great way to start your Bésame experience. The Chicken Tortilla Soup, a top pick among customers, is reminiscent of enchiladas with large pieces of shredded chick-en, diced avocado, and strips of crispy tortillas - married in a rich, enchilada sauce-like soup.
Bésame features an array of main dish options, including barbacoa (shred-ded barbecue short ribs), carne asada, carnitas, chicken, and seafood, as well as a number of vegetarian options. If inclined, customers may build their own burrito, pick and choose their filling for tacos or a torta, or create a combina-tion plate.
Diners may prefer the menu's Classic Entrées, like the Carnitas Tamales, or the three types of enchiladas. House Specialties include the caramelized Carnitas - slightly crispy on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. The sautéed Garlic Shrimp, served in a garlic white wine sauce, is cooked to perfection. The Chile Relleno, a vegetarian favorite, is filled with diced vegetables and served with Bésame’s own yellow mole sauce.
Bésame also has a passion for tequila. Serving over fifty varieties in the Silver, Reposado and Añejo categories, tequila aficionados have plenty to choose from, whether they're enjoying it straight, on the rocks or in their favorite margarita.
Bésame is open Sunday through Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. and 11:30 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Daily Happy Hour runs from 3 to 6 p.m., and Taco Tuesday drink and taco specials are offered all day long. Visit BesameMexicanGrill.com for more information.
