Shops in this class provide specialized automotive services that fall outside mechanical/electrical repair, body work, oil change, or car washing. Common operations include automotive air-conditioning repair, tire repair and patching (not retreading), rustproofing and undercoating, and similar focused trades. Customer vehicles are typically on premises for the duration of service, and some operations may store vehicles overnight.
Questions to investigate
- What specific services are performed — AC repair, tire repair, rustproofing, undercoating, or a combination? Are any mechanical or electrical repairs also performed?
- How many customer vehicles are typically on the premises at one time, and are any stored overnight?
- For AC operations, what refrigerants are used and how is recovery, storage, and disposal handled?
- For rustproofing or undercoating, what chemical products are used and what are the ventilation and storage arrangements?
