We have been having trouble with the air conditioning in the
car for about a year and a half. We have
taken it in a number of times and the garage is never able to fix it. Barb was worried that we wouldn't be able to
cope with no air conditioning for the whole time we are in Florida.
So she asked around about where her pickle ball friends brought their
cars to get repaired. Barb was told to
go a place called Vaugn's Quality Autos.
She was expecting to drop off her car and pick it up later. So she was thinking of borrowing her friend's
car for a few hours. The night before
she was going to bring in her car we drove by the place and it looked like a
dump with cars all over the place in various states of assembly. The gate was locked and the sign for the
place was all rusted. Barb found out
that she couldn't make an appointment.
She just had to bring in her car and wait until they fixed it. So she brought her car in in the morning and
as she drove in she was met by the owner.
He said they were kind of busy right now but she should bring her car
back in the afternoon. So she came back
at 2:30 in the afternoon and the owner got one of his guys to look at the car
and he said it just needed a part and they would have the part delivered in a
few minutes and she could wait for it.
Barb was surprised that the garage had no hoists and that there were
about 13 guys working on cars all over the dirt parking lot. Barb waited in a dusty waiting room with a
bunch of other people. They fixed her
car in a few minutes and only charged her $35.
Barb asked the owner how he can work without any hoists. He said that if someone's car needs a hoist,
he just sends them somewhere else.
However, since he doesn't use hoists his guys can work on all those cars
at the same time. Now the air conditioning
works great.
