Fixing My Car at an Auto Body Repair Salt Lake City

posted in: Selling Autos | 0

I remember the first time I had to take my car to an auto body repair Salt Lake City in 1994. I had just graduated college and needed something to drive to and from my job as a truck driver with a whole sale flower delivery company. The car was great for this task.

I changed my oil every three thousand miles but I did not give it regular maintenance checks. Usually I waited for a part to fail before I took it in to get fixed. I did not have a great deal of disposable wealth at the time so I did not make regular maintenance checks a priority. This, however, is not something I would recommend to anyone thinking of buying a used car because regular maintenance checks can prevent small problems from developing into larger and potentially more expensive or dangerous problems down the road. Luckily I emerged from the experience unscathed.

TAKING MY CAR TO AN AUTO BODY REPAIR SALT LAKE CITY

The car actually lasted a long time. I drove across the country twice in it. It finally died in 2001. I had taken my dog to a state park outside of Salt Lake City for a walk in the woods that day. I remember driving seventy miles per hour on the interstate to get to and from the park. That night I arrived home and parked my car on an inclined street in front of my house. I made sure to turn the wheel into the curb so that it would not roll down the hill unexpectedly. The next day I came out to the car to see one front wheel pointed towards the curb but the other pointed straight. The tie rod had broken. Luckily this happened after I arrived safely home with my dog. I shudder to think what could happen if the tie rod broke on the highway at seventy miles per hour.

I was lucky, but it could have easily been different. All this is to emphasize the importance of regular maintenance checks. When you buy a new car from a dealer it is usually easier to set these maintenance appointments up. Used car dealers can be hit or miss with this. A broken tie rod is a relatively inexpensive fix. Flipping a car on the highway at 70 miles per hour will certainly be more expensive.

How to Understand Auto Body Repair Salt Lake City

The readers of the Automotive Advertising Blog are a savvy bunch. They must be because automotive advertising is no easy business. There is a great deal of competition out there including car sales people of all stripes trying to hawk their wares this way and that. Some are clearly trying to appeal to the lowest common denominator whereas others take a more highbrow approach. But the point is, there are a lot of cars out there to sell and not as many people to buy them. Therefore the person with the most effective automotive advertisement will always win the day.

So then what is the nexus between automotive advertising and the reason for generations of men being baffled by what it means to truly understand auto body repair that is located in Salt Lake City?

Electronic Auto Body Repair Salt Lake City

auto-enthusiastsI run an auto body repair Salt Lake City. My shop works on all kinds of cars and trucks with all kinds of problems. Unfortunately, fixing the cars and trucks are not the only kind of problems I have to deal with on a daily basis. No, in addition to fixing damaged cars and trucks I also have to manage the people who work for me. Case in point: Jimmy G a technician working for me got into a heated argument with Bobby B, another technician in my employ.

MY AUTO BODY REPAIR SALT LAKE CITY EMPLOYEE NAMED JIMMY G

Jimmy G came up to me the other day and told me that electronic modules within twelve inches of a weld must be removed. Now at the time I was sitting at my desk figuring out payroll. I had no idea why he felt the need to burst into my office to make this declaration. But I have worked with Jimmy G for a long time and have known him to be a guy that calls it like he sees it and tells it like it is. So I was willing to hear him out. But before I could ask my follow up question Bobby B burst into my office yelling that Jimmy G was wrong and that an electrostatic discharge strap should be worn when handling electronic modules.

Jimmy G and Bobby B are both valued employees. They do tend to get into stupid arguments from time to time but I think this has more to do with clashing personalities rather than different opinions as to automotive knowledge. It took me a while but I managed to smooth things over between them. After a half an hour of talking it through I got them both to admit that their statements were not mutually exclusive and that in a sense they both were right. These are the types of things I have to deal with in my repair.
