Find a Hearse Mechanic
Template:Stub A hearse is an important vehicle in society. They allow the transportation of the deceased from one location to another. Hearses are used by city and county morgues, funeral homes and by individuals as well. Just like any other vehicle, a hearse needs general maintenance, such as oil changes, new tires and tune ups. However, unlike most vehicles, a hearse has electrical and mechanical parts that only those trained in installing and repairing hearses should attempt. This article will explain how to find a hearse mechanic to complete the repairs and maintenance your hearse needs.
Steps
- Determine the manufacturer and the model of the hearse.
- There are two major car manufacturers who produce hearses in the United States: Cadillac, which is built by General Motors, and Lincoln, which is built by Ford. The manufacturer can be found on the front, back or side of the hearse by locating the manufacturer emblem.
- The model of the hearse is the name of the hearse itself, for example, Lincoln makes a hearse called the Eagle. The name of the hearse might be located on the back of the hearse, but can be located on a label on the inside panel of the driver's side door.
- Locate a hearse dealership.
- Check the local Yellow Pages and contact local automobile dealerships that sell the model of your hearse. The dealerships usually have in-house mechanics that services hearses. If the in-house mechanic is not qualified to work on hearses, the dealership can put you in contact with a business who can.
- If a local dealership cannot be located, contact the car manufacturer that produced the hearse and request information about maintenance options for the hearse.
- Contact other businesses that have hearses.
- Contact local funeral homes, city and county morgues, and forensic science departments of local police stations and inquire who performs maintenance on their vehicles.
- Conduct an Internet search for hearse mechanics. Key phrases to use could be "hearse mechanic (your location)", "hearse manufacturers" or "hearse maintenance and repair."
- You can also contact businesses such as limo and taxi services that use limousines for their business. Many mechanics who work on limousines also service hearses.
