I decided to call Vogel, which I'd used in the past for other vehicles, and they immediately put me at ease. They made me feel important, and taken care of right from the start. After asking me a few questions, Gene - the service person I worked with - told me over the phone that he was concerned about my safety in my present vehicle, because the collision with the truck had crushed my headlight. "We'll get you a loaner, so that I can look at that headlight. Whatever else is wrong with your car, we can at least fix up that headlight for now." This was even before I agreed to give them my business. I drove to Vogel, and they gave me the keys to a brand new Chevy Impala (far nicer than my own car). They said I could use it for the next few days while they took a good look at my car and developed an estimate for the repairs. It didn't matter that I'd need to drive their car to work and back (120 mile round trip) every day. Just return it with the same amount of gas. It took them almost a week to get me the estimate (it's a busy place). I didn't mind because I was having fun driving that Impala. When I got my insurance company's approval (Vogel's estimate was about $300 lower than my dealer's), Vogel couldn't fit me in to actually do the repairs on my car for another three weeks. This meant I had to drive my bashed in vehicle for a little longer. But what Vogel had done while examining my car was make it safe and presentable. They fixed the headlight and punched out the worst of the dents. They had also washed off all the mud and salt from Wisconsin's horrible winter highways. They loaned me another nice Impala while they did the repairs, which cost about $3,500. When I got my little Elantra back, I was thrilled. It was gorgeous. Like new. It looked better than it had before the accident. Both the outside and inside (which they must have vacuumed) looked immaculate. They gave me a little handout for taking care of the new paint job. Don't go through any car washes for a month or so, etc. I have fallen in love with my car all over again, and I owe this to Vogel's great work. They sure know what they are doing when it comes to auto body work. They also know how to provide great customer service. They made me feel valuable. My dealer, a much larger shop, could take a few lessons from this locally owned shop in Kiel.

In this case my wife called right after her little accident and I had her drive it over to Brookfield auto - if it could not have been driven I would have called for Brookfield to come tow it (free service). I called my insurance company (Safco ? a good insurance company) and they went out to appraise the car. They worked with the manager at the shop to determine the damage and decided not to totals the car (a near thing). Brookfield auto represented my well in this conversation - rejecting a request to find used parts for some of the work. I appreciated this as used parts would have seriously compromised the quality of the repair. Once the repair plan was established Brookfield Auto proceeded to use their body shop and larger service shop (all located within 5 miles) to do the work. I was kept informed of the progress and I visited the car once. I was able to talk with the crew doing the work and the owner. I was very pleased with the experience. I marked them down on Quality and Punctuality because I am a stickler for grading. In my business excellence is a hard thing to achieve. One item had to be brought back for additional work (alarm system) and the original date was missed due to a parts availability problem. Having said all this - please be aware that Brookfield Auto does indeed stand out as a good alternative for service on your car. BUT - this is very much buyers beware market. Even the good shops, like Brookfield Auto, are moving a lot of vehicles in and out every day. There is not a lot of time for in depth analysis. Mistakes can be made because assumptions are left unchallenged. Anyone taking a car in anywhere for work really needs to force a detailed discussion on options and expected out comes."},"url":"https://www.angi.com/companylist/us/wi/brookfield/brookfield-auto-care-reviews-234808.htm"},"position":9},{"@type":"ListItem","item":{"@type":"LocalBusiness","name":"Duff Painting Co","address":{"@type":"PostalAddress","addressRegion":"WI","addressCountry":"US"},"review":{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Frank A."},"reviewBody":"As a doctor and professor, I appreciate a thoughtful and timely approach.

Staff arrived when promised and completed the repair competently and professionally. Cleaned up the work area and removed exterior door. I'll use W7 Construction Services again in the future.

"In todays fast paced world, it is hard to find people we can trust and to wonder when we purchase something ,whether or not we are going to get a quality product for what we are paying for. I had been looking around to purchase some new windows for several years, but when I always heard quotes on the cost I was unwilling to take the leap. One day, upon hearing a quote of what the windows I wanted replaced would cost me from their sales rep., I took that leap. It was a no brainer. With such a great price, now I wondered if i was going to get quality for what I was paying. I have to tell you I was delighted to see the final results of my beautiful new windows. Not only were all the people I spoke with in this company kind and respectful, but they also helped me set up financing as well. Great Company, Really Good People, Quality Product and Service!"

To bleed a radiator, first turn off the heat to the system. Then, lay a towel under the valve, open the bleed valve, wait 20 to 30 seconds for air to escape, and gently close the valve. You should repeat this process for every radiator you have in your home. Once your radiator valves have all been closed carefully, you can turn them back on.
Both hydronic and electric hydronic heaters usually come with a higher price tag up front, but you can save more on energy costs over time compared to standard heaters. They also provide heat for a short time after the heater is actually turned off, making them more efficient. Additionally, standard convection heaters use electric coils to heat up the air, whereas hydronic heaters warm up water or oil which then heats the air.
It takes about five to 10 minutes for heat to reach a radiator, then about one hour until the radiator fully heats up a room. The exact duration depends on the size of the room and how far away the radiator is from the boiler heating system. Heating up an entire house could take up to two hours.
A home radiator lasts anywhere from 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. If your unit is approaching the 15-year mark, it’s a good idea to inspect your system and consider upgrading the radiator to a new one. Older models are less efficient over time compared to newer, energy-efficient radiators.
A poorly maintained boiler can lead to serious issues like deadly carbon monoxide poisoning, so schedule regular maintenance services. Of course, it’s also a good idea to check your carbon monoxide detectors in your home to make sure they’re working properly. Moreover, when you forget to maintain your boiler, small problems can lead to something much more serious, which will cost you more money in the long run. Repairs average around $400, while a full replacement can total over $6,000.
