4 Ways to Pass the Time When Waiting for Auto Repair Services to Be Completed

Even the fastest auto repairs take time. Whether you’re having your oil replaced, bringing in your car to have the tires rotated and realigned, or having extensive engine work done, some auto repair shops will have a comfortable lobby where you can wait for your auto repair services to be completed. Check out some of the ways we recommend passing the time while you wait for your vehicle.

Catch Up on Work

If you work remotely, make the lobby your new office. You can get the wi-fi password, answer emails, and work on documents. Rearrange your to-do list so you can check off lingering administrative tasks or any work that doesn’t require multiple screens or in-person collaboration.

Read a Book

Is your new year’s resolution to read more books? There’s no better time to crack open a new book than when you’re waiting for your car to get fixed. Bring in a paperback or pull out a digital reader. Depending on your mechanic, they might even have tea and coffee available so you can sit back and relax.

Watch a Show on Your Phone or Laptop

If you have a long wait ahead, it’s the perfect opportunity to catch up on your favorite shows. You can watch TV or movies from your personal device. Other fun ideas are playing online games, learning a new skill through a digital app, or finding new podcasts and content creators to enjoy.

Make a Call

Now that there’s a break in your schedule, you can even make personal calls. If it’s been a while since you called a friend or family member, now is a low-stress moment to catch up.
