Shop Talk
Summer is here and the service is in full swing! Lots of hot cars and trucks rolling in needing our love and skills. We even test the air speed coming from the vents. Yes it does make a difference to find bad blowers, doors and actuators (of course we check the cabin filter first.)
The best part about Texas is the summer heat really challenges today's vehicles AC and electrical systems. The worst part is having to work in a 100 degree shop with 75% + humidity. Well while we cannot control the weather outside, we can control it inside. Not to many 10 bay independance shops can provide AC for their techs. Craig's Car Care invested on the near side of $100 K to make this a reality.
