FLAT RATE SERVICE PLAN
Flat Rate Service —the kind of service you have been
waiting for is now at your call. We have adopted this new
method of handling charges for Chevrolet repair work be-

gent estimate of the cost of repairs before the work is started.
Our repair shop is guided by a schedule of repair operations
each covering a specific repair job with the exact average
time indicated plainly. The standard price list of Chevrolet
Part; gives the exact cost of replacement parts needed.
These are the facts that take the uncertainty out of
service work.
The Chevrolet Flat Rate System makes for better work at
lower prices because repair men spend their time doing
only what you have ordered. That’s what we charge for
and you know in advance what it will cost.
Our shop is equipped with special Chevrolet tools. No re-
pair job is too large or too small to be handled efficiently and
at minimum cost to you.
Remember: Good and regular service costs you nothing In
the end because it prevents expensive breakdowns and
lengthens the life of your car
