Damaged or malfunctioning equipment can cause delays throughout the course of automobile repairs. When a piece of your equipment begins to falter or stops entirely, remove it from the repair floor. Make sure that the equipment has been labeled in an obvious area with the problem you have been experiencing. This will allow you to know if you will be able to complete repairs in a timely manner. Furthermore, it will help you keep track of any equipment that may need to be repaired or replaced and may prevent personal injury and additional damage to automobiles during repairs.
