In these tight economic times, many people are choosing to keep their current car instead of getting a new one. This is a good way to save money. However, having a car, especially an older one, means spending some money by having any required auto repair and maintenance performed as necessary. Don't let a mechanic try to get you to have more work done on the car than what is needed.
Here are five things to look for when choosing a reliable auto repair shop:
1. Make sure the auto repair shop is certified. Don't be afraid to ask questions. The auto repair shop should not have hidden charges, fees or surprises, but charge a fair price for the work done. You should authorize any work and understand clearly what is to be done before the mechanic proceeds with the work.
2. Does the auto repair shop have good references? What do your friends, family members, and associates say about this auto repair shop? Do your research!
3. Check out the shop for organization and cleanliness. A clean and organized auto repair shop shows respect for the comfort and the welfare of the customers. No customer wants to wait for their car in a shop that is dingy, cold, and grimy. If the auto shop doesn't care about the comfort of the customers in the lobby, do they really care about the vehicle safety of their customers?
4. Make sure the mechanics are experienced and certified, with good work ethics. The mechanics should be glad to show you proof of their training and credentials. If they seem to get angry and defensive, that is your cue to leave! Your vehicle investment is too valuable to trust to just anyone with a wrench and a garage!
5. Compare prices. Find a reliable auto repair shop that will give you what you need, and not charge for other things you do not even need. If you feel an auto repair shop is overcharging, call them on it, or at least get them to match the prices of another shop. If they really value your business, they will come down on the cost.
