Doing business these days can be almost cost prohibitive. So why do we do it? To
bring you the highest quality service you can get. It´s not enough for us to just
repair your automobile, no matter how technical the task may be. We must make sure
that all interests are protected and all potential problem situations are addressed before
they arise. It´s true no job is complete until the paperwork is finished. What's
more is the extreme cost of simply getting a top notch technician on the job.
Taking care of our customers and their automobiles is a detailed process. There are many things that go into a professional repair.
To our dismay we must admit that due to our overhead there are cheaper places to repair your car. The question is: are these places really going to save you money or just save a dollar today that requires you to spend a lot of dollars tomorrow to re-repair what they didn´t repair right in the first place?
Comparing a professional´s shop rate to a lesser rate is essentially not comparing apples to apples anyway. The quality and efficiency of most services performed by a highly trained technician provided with late model tooling and education will surpass a mechanic working with normal tooling at a lesser rate. The bottom line is that professional quality repairs will save you money in the long run.
The following is a breakdown of the necessary costs incurred by a professional repair facility to insure quality service to the consumer:
Service Writers & Estimators, Vehicle Arrangement Personnel Late Model Tooling & Equipment Huge Capital Investments Office & Accounting Supplies Personnel Training Staff Wages & Overtime Compensation Insurance: Liability, Casualty & Workers Compensation Vacation & Sick Pay, Retirement, Unemployment Compensation Supervisory & Management Personnel Secretarial & Accounting Personnel Taxes: Local, State, Federal Professional Organization Dues & Costs Advertising & Community Support Delivery Vehicle & Personnel
Owners and technicians at A Street Automotive & Collision stake their reputations
on quality services and as a result we are not willing to bypass one single service
support step. Are you?
