ost people can think of one Friday after work when their car wouldn’t start. Or when their battery chose to die on a Sunday just as they were planning on running a day’s worth of errands. The lucky people who have a car reliable enough to avoid those pitfalls can still find plenty of screws and nails scattered about driveways, parking lots, and streets—determined to make one’s night or weekend miserable. That’s not even mentioning the pothole situation in Omaha.
Most auto service centers have the 8 to 5 hours worked by about 80% of America, according to the Department of Labor. Fortunately for Omaha motorists, there are two Buchanan’s Service Centers that pick up the slack when most mechanics hang up their ‘Closed’ sign. The locations—one each at 80th and Dodge streets and 50th and Dodge streets—offer general repairs, tire fixes, and oil changes until 11 p.m. on weekdays and 6 p.m. on weekends.
