We are aware of the current situation with our phone lines and are working to resolve the issue. For the time being, anyone calling on a Spectrum landline will receive a temporarily unavailable message when they call in. We assure you, we are still here and available to make an appointment for you! Cell phone calls seem to have no issues, or you can always stop in to make an appointment in person. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have the phone lines back in order A.S.A.P!

Summer is always a busy time for any auto repair facility. Vehicles experience air conditioning problems, people like to have certain issues checked and addressed before taking vacations, and everyone is enjoying being out and about in the warm weather, so vehicle breakdowns are bound to occur. Here are a few things to remember when scheduling a summer appointment:

When having a vehicle inspected for a trip, its best to plan your appointment early. Most auto repair shops are scheduling at least 2 weeks in advance during the summer, so calling for an appointment the week of your trip may not leave enough time to have your vehicle checked over. Air conditioning issues may take even longer to address, so allow yourself plenty of time before leaving on vacation to have an inspection done.

Always include all of the information that you can when scheduling your appointment. You may be asked specific questions pertaining to any issues that you're experiencing, such as how long ago did the problem start, how frequently does it occur, does it occur at a particular speed, are any fault lights on, or have any fluids been added. Be as prepared as possible to answer questions related to your issue(s), even if you are calling to schedule for a family member.

Remember to include all of the issues that you're experiencing when making your appointment. Your auto repair facility does its best to allow a certain amount of time per job so that they can plan each day's work accordingly. If you only make an appointment for a tune-up but add other issues such as fluid leaks or brake issues when you drop off your vehicle, there may not be enough time to have extra "add-on" issues addressed.

Understand that air conditioning issues aren't quick or simple. Many times when dropping off a vehicle for other issues, customers will ask to have a charge added to their AC system due to warm air coming out of the vents. There is a process for recharging the AC system, however, and your repair facility needs to know in advance when AC work is requested. The system must first be evacuated to determine how much refrigerant is missing. Overcharging an AC system can lead to other, more expensive issues. The system is then recharged with dye added to inspect for leaks. This process takes an hour and a half and can cost between $150 and $200 depending on how much refrigerant is missing. The customer is then advised on potential AC repairs based on what is found during the leak inspection.

By following these simple guidelines, you'll ensure that your appointment, and your vehicle, will run more smoothly not only for you, but also for your chosen repair facility. Have a wonderful summer!
