In order to ensure the safety of our employees and customers, the following procedures are required to minimize the risk of an employee or customer coming in contact with COVID-19.

Vehicles ready for customer pick up
This will be completed prior to staging in the “Delivery Line”.

Place a bottle of hand sanitizer in the vehicle with the document stating that the vehicle was sanitized and what was performed.
