OT: Are There 24 Hour Auto Repair Shops Where You Live?

DerbyDad03 · 2018-10-08T01:25:26+00:00

Background: My daughter was driving from Vermont to Virginia when she had a problem wit h her brakes. At about 7PM she called me from Maryland and said she was about 2 hours from her destination. When she described the symptoms, I told her t hat she should not continue driving "Get a hotel and find a shop in the morning ." Less than 3 hours later she called me again: "On my way to Virginia!" Wait...What? It turns out that Maryland has 24 hour service centers. Who knew? She calle d one and they said if she came right over, they could work on it right away. They fixed the problem and sent her on her way. So, the point of this post is "Really? Auto repair shops that are open 24 h ours?" Is that a big city thing only? We sure don't have them where I live. We did n't have them in NYC where I grew up, but that was 30+ years ago. I looked on line and it seems like NYC has them now. It's not surprising that the "T owing and Repair" businesses are listed as 24 hours, but there are quite a few that are just listed as auto repair shops. Do you have 24 hour repair shops where you live?
