Most of our service is done on a first come-first served basis. When you get into the technical end of vehicles as we do, it becomes VERY difficult to estimate how long each job will take to diagnose and complete, so scheduling becomes very difficult. We take in a number of vehicles per day based upon the type of repair they need. Vehicles are dropped off to us in the morning, or the night before and we get to them in the order they are dropped off. Once we get a preliminary look at your vehicle, you will be called and given an estimated time and cost to diagnose, and then after diagnosis you will receive a call giving you an estimated cost and time to repair. Naturally, if your vehicle needs a repair of a non-technical type such as a routine brake job, it will be much easier to give you an estimated time of completion.

Employees are one of those things that add to the operating costs of a business, unless they contribute to producing the actual product or service….service writers and secretaries are just like fancy waiting rooms and nice landscaping….they do NOT repair vehicles, so we chose to do without and spend that money on tools, equipment and equipment updates…one of many reasons we get so many customers referred to us by other customers AND referrals from other shops that do not have the specialized equipment for certain jobs. This means phone answering, scheduling, parts sourcing, invoicing, payment receiving, etc is a one man show…ME! If you give us a call and get the voicemail, then I am on another line, or have a customer in the office…please leave a message!

MANY regular customers handle appointments and other communication via Email. Email goes to my cell phone, so I am happy to communicate that way if YOU prefer it…many folks do….many choose to send text messages as well….I will handle communication however you prefer.

Due to the complexities of the repairs we perform and the subsequent scheduling difficulties, we simply CANNOT take walk ins, all work MUST be scheduled ahead of time…we may be able to take you tomorrow…or three days from now…it just depends upon the nature of your repair and also the type of work we currently have in the shop, so please give us a call ahead of time for scheduling.
