AFTER-HOURS DROP OFF

Sometimes auto repair needs arise long after most auto repair shops have closed. With after-hours drop off services, you leave your car at the repair shop even if the shop has closed. You simply fill out an envelope, put in your keys, and drop it in a drop box. The auto shop will only contact you when your car is ready or when they need additional information.

 

At Prater's Automotive Repair, we value your convenience and that is why we offer after-hours drop off services. A completed Drop-Off Form will help the technician diagnose any problems. Even if we have closed, you just drop-off your vehicle at our shop and our mechanics will work on it and contact you when it is ready.
