Check the maintenance schedule for your vehicle (it's in the owner's manual or a separate booklet) to see what the manufacturer requires. Chances are everything you need could be done at a competent repair shop that is more convenient or less expensive than a dealership. Don't assume, however, that a dealer will always be more expensive. They may charge $40 or less to change the oil, rotate the tires, inspect the vitals and throw in a car wash.
It is important that you recognize the difference between an EIN and a DUNS number. Although the EIN number is used to report and pay taxes to the IRS, it is not used to establish credit for your business or to report your credit history to the credit bureaus.
The Federal government requires that all applicants for Federal grants and cooperative agreements (with the. exception of individuals other than sole proprietors) have a DUNS number. The DUNS (Data Universal Numbering. System) is a unique nine-digit identification number provided by Dun & Bradstreet. To obtain your DUNS number, you must call the Dun & Bradstreet dedicated DUNS Number Request Line at 1-. 866-705-5711. If you are not sure if you have a DUNS number you may call the same Request Line for assistance. The process to request a new DUNS number takes about 5-10 minutes and a DUNS number will be assigned to you. at the conclusion of your call.
