Remote Auto Repair Check-In

Andrei here with Main Street Auto EV in Downtown Walnut Creek, serving Contra Costa County and San Francisco Bay Area. We talk about replacing an old screen door with a glass door, cutting out a wall for a custom corner desk with a walnut counter, and setting up a remote check-in system with a screen, camera, and microphone.

Axle Seal Leak, Missing Fuel Tank, and Office Transformation
Andrei here with Main Street Auto EV in Downtown Walnut Creek, serving Contra Costa County and San Francisco Bay Area.  We’re tackling a leaking axle seal and checking the brake lines, which are metal and should be fine after a flush. But when we went to inspect the fuel tank, it was completely missing! We’re checking with the previous owner for a replacement, or we’ll order one. Also, we’re excited to show you our office makeover using recycled cubicles from a closing office in Oakland, with help from Rodriguez Construction Company.
