4 Questions to Ask an Automotive Shop

When you're shopping around for an automotive shop to service your car, whether you just need an oil change or if you need repairs, there are a few questions to keep in mind to ensure you're going with the best choice.

What Should I Ask an Auto Care Shop Before I Choose Them?

1. Are Your Experienced in Working with My Make and Model?

This is a very important thing to ask of your potential auto professional because experience is essential! You need to trust that the person working on your car has worked on that make and model before.

Experience is everything in our industry, and at Weber, our technicians have many years working with all different makes and models!

2. What is your Warranty?

You always want to ask about the warranties the shop offers for their parts, labor, and services. Not all shops offer warranties, and that can become a very expensive oversight.

Weber Automotive offers the best warranty in the industry, with 3 years, 36,000 miles nationwide!

3. How Long Has the Service Shop been in Business? And How Experienced are Your Techs?

Again, hitting on experience, you want to make sure that the shop has been around for at least a few years and that their technicians have a few years under their belt as well.

4. Do You Store My Service Information?

Not everyone saves every receipt, so if you have a service done on your car and you don't keep that receipt, it can be easy to forget what was done. Moreover, if you go to sell the car, the buyer wants to know how the vehicle was maintained and all of that fun stuff.

Not many auto shops do this, but Weber keeps record of every service we perform and keep it in our database for our customers.

Cleveland Car AC Blows Warm at a Stop? Our Expert Fix at Weber Automotive

You are crawling through Cleveland traffic on a July afternoon. The sun hits your windshield, the cabin heats up, and just when you need relief most, your AC turns lukewarm at the red light. Then it cools again once you are moving. Frustrating and all too common. Here is the good news. We diagnose and fix this exact problem every summer at Weber Automotive. I am Bryan Weber, and our team has a simple way to explain what is happening and how to get your cool air back. Why Cold Air Turns Warm at Idle Your air conditioning relies on airflow through the condenser, which sits at the front of your vehicle. While you are moving, natural airflow cools the condenser and helps produce cold air. When you stop, the system depends on an electric cooling fan to keep that air moving. If the fan does not run at idle: Airflow across the condenser drops Pressure in the AC system climbs The vents start blowing warm air In some cases, the engine temperature can also creep up This is one of the biggest reasons AC feels cold while you are driving but warm at a stop. A Quick DIY Check You Can Do Safely If you are comfortable taking a quick look, try this: Park safely, set the parking brake, and pop the hood. Start the engine and turn the AC to max. Use a flashlight to look toward the radiator area. Keep hands and tools clear of moving parts. The electric cooling fan should start running with the AC on. You should see it spin, hear it, and feel airflow. If the fan does not run and yo

Used Car Pre-Purchase Inspections: Buy With Confidence With Weber Automotive

If a seller will not let you take a car for an independent inspection, walk away. We have even told shoppers that a free car would be a bad deal, because it needed that much work. When the average new car tops $50,000 and the average used car hovers around $30,000, a smart inspection is not a luxury, it is protection. The Problem: Big Investment, Little Protection Most used cars are sold as is, which means the risk sits squarely on your shoulders. There is often little to no warranty, and cosmetic shine can hide expensive mechanical issues. That is exactly why we offer a thorough pre-purchase inspection, so you know what you are buying, what it needs now, and what it may need soon. At Weber Automotive, we are committed to helping you avoid surprise repairs, negotiate with confidence, and make a purchase you can feel good about. What Our Pre-Purchase Inspection Includes Our used car inspection is built to uncover the truth before you sign: Multi-page, detailed checklist of all major systems Clear documentation with pictures and video when helpful Prioritized findings, what needs attention now and what is coming up Written estimates for any recommended repairs A report you can take back to the dealership or private seller The service is about $210, and in our experience, 98 percent of the time we find more than that amount in needed work. The inspection often pays for itself in negotiation leverage, or by saving you from a money pit. How It Works With Dealerships an
