How it started
Starter working on cars during highschool, went to Vo-Tech and than later went to UTI after graduation went on to work for Toyota, Acura, Subaru
The job the phone rings for
Most common calls are for No Start issues. And range from 125-500 depending on vehicle and issue
What people get wrong
Most of time the AC repairs are not cheap. compressors and such
The one worth talking about
There is many when people think that because it needs a clutch or maybe head gasket that the vehicle is junk when really the body is good and interior is fine just needs 1 or 2 major repairs and good from there on out.
What is on the van
We carry a Robinar HVAC machine the same as dealerships have for AC services. most don't carry this type of machine due to cost and size.
The thing everyone skips
Engine leaks I find that people tend to skip over even a minor leak can lead to something huge. Like a FIRE.
Where they work, and what a first call looks like
20 mile Radius and we first start with a customer concerns and location than we send our customers a automatic txt message asking for specific information so we can create a diagnosis or repair quote for them from Tekmetric which we use for every vehicle
Before you hire anyone
