Appointments vs. Drop-Off Times

from the Carrsmith Service Desk

                

While we are more than happy to schedule 'while-you-wait' oil services (they take 30 minutes) and other quick maintenances for our regular customers, we most often schedule 'Drop-Off Times'  rather than 'Appointments' for other types of work. Typically, our clients leave their vehicles and we sequence them into our work flow on a 'first come, first serve' basis.

Because of the wide variety of automotive services we provide, we typically do not schedule appointments like a barber or hair-dresser. However, unless it is a difficult or unusual problem, we'll most often have the customer's car done the same day. 

We look forward to talking to you soon!

Schedule online now or call us now at 352-378-7830 to schedule a drop-off time for any needed maintenance or repair concern.

Additional Service Tips

 

Toyota Corolla Transaxle- leaks at differential output flange. Bad CV axles can lead to transmission problems.

 

Driver’s will notice a bad or worn out CV (constant velocity) axle by the clicking noise it makes when turning. Driving for an extended period of time with a worn out axle on the long axle side (the passenger or right side) will damage the transaxle (transmission and differential assembly). Vibration wears out the differential carrier and spider gears inside the transaxle. The shaft for the output flange, which the axle bolts to, is not supported by a bushing or any other reinforcement but, goes directly into and is supported by the differential carrier assembly.

 

Installing a new output flange seal to repair a leak caused by this problem not work due to the excess play in the shaft. Lateral movement in the output shaft will distort the new seal causing it to leak.
