The visit
How a job actually runs.
A repair at your address should be less disruptive than a shop visit, not more. Here is how it goes.
- He works around your space. A driveway, an apartment lot or a workplace parking space — flat ground and room to get around the car is all it takes.
- The quote comes before the wrench. You agree to a labor number first, and it does not move.
- You see what came off. The old part comes out where you can look at it, with an explanation of why it failed.
- Nothing extra gets sold on the spot. If he spots something else, you get told about it — not charged for it.
- The ground gets left clean. Fluid caught, old parts bagged, tools packed.
