Anytime Appointments at Smoky Hill Auto. What Are They? And How Does It Benefit Our Customers?

Because vehicle trouble doesn’t always comply with your schedule — but we sure try our best.

At Smoky Hill Auto, we understand that car problems don’t always wait for a convenient time. A warning light comes on. Your brakes start squealing. You smell something off, smoke starts to appear, hearing a strange sound. Or maybe — worst of all — your vehicle won’t move or even start. 😬

Whatever the issue, one thing’s certain: it’s stressful, scary and you need answers as fast as possible.

That’s why we offer what we call an Anytime Appointment — a flexible, no-stress way to get your vehicle looked at right away, without needing to wait for a traditional appointment slot.

What Is an Anytime Appointment?

Simply put: If we’re open, you can come in.
Just call or stop by during business hours, and we’ll make time to give your vehicle an initial evaluation — usually within about 15 minutes — to assess what’s going on.

Whether it’s:

  • A new light on the dash
  • A weird noise under the hood
  • A loss of power
  • Or something just doesn’t feel right

Our goal is to take a quick look, determine the level of urgency & severity; and set a plan of action from there. It may be something simple we can point out right away, or it may require a deeper diagnostic process. Either way, we’ll get you on the radar immediately and help you understand what’s going on — not leave you guessing or stranded

Why This Matters

Car trouble often feels like a crisis. And when it’s unexpected, you need more than just a shop that says, “We’ll see you next week.”

Our ASE-Certified Technicians know how to quickly triage and identify the severity of a problem. Our Anytime Appointment slots are designed to:

✅ Give you peace of mind that you’re being heard and helped
✅ Allow us to get eyes on your vehicle ASAP
✅ Help determine if the issue is simple, moderate, or complex
✅ Keep you informed with a clear repair plan to move forward, time frame, part(s) availability and transparent pricing

Need a Ride? We’ve Got You.

We know you’ve got a life to live and places to be. Most likely the vehicle will need to stay with us longer depending on what we find so we are equipped to help you with additional transportation needs.

  • Local rides to work or home
  • Complimentary Lyft Ride to a desired location
  • Updates every step of the way, so you’re never in the dark

At Smoky Hill Auto, we’re not just about fixing vehicles. We’re about supporting people — and that includes making your repair experience as smooth and worry-free as possible.
