How to Communicate to Auto Repair Shop - UT

How is your Communication Between your Auto Repair shop?

The following tips should help you along the way:  

• Do your homework before taking your vehicle in for repairs of service.
• Read the owner's manual to learn about the vehicle's systems and components.
• Follow the recommended service schedules.
• Keep a log of a ll repairs and service.

You know your car.
You drive it everyday & know how it feels and sounds when everything is right.  So don't ignore it s warning signals.  Use all your senses to inspect your car frequently.

Check for:

• Unusual sounds, odors, drips, leaks, smoke, warning lights, gauge readings.
• Changes in acceleration, engine performance, gas mileage, fluid levels.
• Worn tires, belts, and hoses.
• Problems in handling, braking, steering, vibrations.

Note when the problem occurs:

• Is it constant or periodic?
• Is it when your vehicle is cold or is it after the engine is warmed up?
• It it at all speeds?  Only under acceleration? During braking?  When shifting?
• When did the problem first start?
• Write the symptoms down to give or tell the technician.

Communication is important between you and your auto repair shop.  You should be prepared to describe the symptoms.  ( In larger shops you will probably speak with a service writer/manager rather than the technician.) 
Resist the temptation to suggest a course of repair.  Just as you would do with your physician,  tell where it hurts and how long so that the technician can diagnose and recommend a remedy.
Ask for explanations in layman's terms if you don't understand.
Don't rush the technician to make an on the spot diagnosis.
Before you leave, make sure you understand all the shop policies regarding labor rates, guarantees, & acceptable methods of payment.

Last but not least,  Leave a phone number where you can be called.

Owning a Jeep In Utah

www.carsautorepairutah.blogspot.com

Things you should do when owning a JEEP

#1 – Find a good auto mechanic.

Jeeps are dependable,  they are. It’s just that having work done on this type of rig requires considerable knowledge and expertise — particularly for older, manual models.

Plus, as the owner of a sport vehicle, I can assure you that regular maintenance and upkeep are now part of your future.

#2 – Eliminate the death wobble.

Although the attention-grabbing name (death wobble) may be a little overly dramatic, any Jeep — and, really any 4×4 — is likely to wobble at certain speeds, thereby causing a potentially dangerous situation in terms of rollover potential.

This wobbling, which occurs because of vibration in the front wheels, typically is the result of an overloaded front suspension system.  There are lot of special parts and add-ons when it comes to Jeeps. These components — such as lift kits or big tires — can easily throw off alignment.   It’s important to make sure that any stock parts are bolted down correctly and not interfering with the streamlining of your system.

#3 – Learn the Jeep wave.

As a Jeep owner, you’re part of a special club.

People who drive Jeeps consider themselves a unique band of adventurers who enjoy all things about this classic American car.   One of the most basic ways to recognize and show respect and solidarity among drivers on the road is through the Jeep wave (yes, there really is such a thing) — which involves a specific hand gesture to a Jeep driver passing you on the other side of the road.

Jeeps

#4 –Relax and have fun.

 This  may go without saying, but you’d be surprised at how many Jeep owners garage their rigs or treat them as trophy vehicles — thereby missing out on the true fun of owning this type of ride.
Go out and have fun,  there is mud Bogging,  Rock claiming, camping, snow run,  Geocaching , Moab, Jeep Jamboree USA and much more.

That's how we JEEP   CARS Complete Auto Repair Service

Frequently Asked Questions

Smart Shopping for Auto Repairs

You can help avoid trouble with an unreliable or dishonest repair shop by following these tips:

•Ask your family, friends and co-workers for advice on reliable repair shops in your area, as well as those you should avoid.
•Keep all records, including estimates, invoices, work orders, receipts, guarantees and warranties. Besides their importance in case you file a repair complaint, these papers serve as your record of service, and could increase your vehicle's resale value.
•Don't be afraid to ask questions. Management of a shop should take the time to explain required repairs and prices, discuss problems, and tell you about the training and experience of employees.
*Make sure your vehicle is serviced at the intervals specified in your owner's manual or warranty booklet and keep very clear records of your vehicle's maintenance.

•  Do you have to return to the dealer facility for all of my car's maintenance to keep from voiding the warranty?
  The answer to this is no. You can have routine service done by any competent independent service shop or garage and still maintain your warranty.
• Do you need to use the manufacturer's original equipment parts to keep you warranty valid? maybe - Automakers cannot specify the use of their or anyone else's products for your vehicle's maintenance.
• Check your owner's manual to find out what products should be replaced and at what intervals. You may use any brand-name quality product such as CARQUEST to replace fan belts, hoses, brakes, exhausts, chassis parts, oil, or any other product needed to be replaced. ( Stated in CARQUEST Tech-Net Auto service guide)

If your car is leased are you responsible for maintenance?

•  YES! Even if you lease a vehicle you are responsible for all maintenance and repairs.

How does the quality of aftermarket products compare with original equipment products?

•  Today, many of the products are manufactured by the same supplier and may even be guaranteed longer than the original equipment products. Aftermarket products supplied by  a lot of aftermarket shops exceeds manufacture specifications.

Mufflers and Exhaust
1. What is a muffler?
A muffler is a device that is part of your vehicle’s exhaust system. The function of a muffler is to reduce the amount of noise that comes from your vehicle’s engine. The design of the muffler includes steel pipes with chambers inside that have been tuned like an instrument to reflect and cancel most of the noise coming from your engine.
2. What are the benefits of using a high performance muffler?
Not only do high performance mufflers reduce the amount of noise your car makes, they also help increase the efficiency, power output and the performance of your engine. High performance mufflers reduce the amount of back pressure in the exhaust system allowing the engine to work more efficiently. If you really want to give your vehicle a jump start, you should choose a muffler pipe that is larger in diameter and has better air intake like a “cold air intake” style.
3. What types of mufflers are there?

Exhaust Mufflers

Some of our products include: FlowMaster
DynoMax
MagnaFlow
4. How do I know which type of muffler will be best for me?

WHY IS MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT?
 Your vehicle has hundreds of moving parts all working together. Through normal driving, over time, some of these parts simply wear out or no longer perform the way they should.
To make sure that your vehicle is running at its best, your vehicle manufacturer recommends that certain parts and systems are checked at certain intervals. By following their recommendations, more costly repairs down the road may be avoided.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS?
 Repairs are services that are required or necessary when something on your vehicle is not working properly. Also, when your vehicle has worn to the point where a replacement is required to maintain the performance of your vehicle.
The schedule for performing these maintenance services varies from vehicle to vehicle. You will find the schedule for your vehicle in your owner's manual. Following this schedule is the best way to make sure your vehicle is performing as it should.
 We offer Maintenance Services that follow the schedule as recommended in your owner's manual.
Oil Change
Maintenance Tune-Up
Transmission Service
Radiator Service
Vehicle Inspection
