Motorway driving, country lane driving or just to the shops and back, it is always expensive for running repairs and maintenance on your car. Vehicles come in all sorts of shapes styles and powers, and reflect the way you live your life, but a trip to the garage is expensive no matter what.
Looking for somewhere to have repairs done at a reasonable cost can be tricky, so take a look around using our directory and see if you can find the best of the bunch.
MOT time is always a worry if you have your local garage take a look at your car first and carry out any repairs they think need to be done for you to pass your test. Another route is to use a garage that carries out MOTs and does the repairs themselves. The pitfalls of doing the second option is that you are wholly and completely reliant on the honesty of the garage not to say the car needs more work than it actually does.
Typically the things that you get charged for are brakes, tyre treads, light bulbs and windscreen washers as these are little things that could be fixed cheaper by doing your own repairs.
Government testing centres are a good bet, your car will be guaranteed to be properly tested without any split loyalties on the part of the mechanic and will ensure you save money in the long run. Dealerships provide an excellent service as they will have expert knowledge of your particular make of car, but they are generally the most expensive repair option.
Regular services are a must. When you get to 20,000 miles you should be looking to change your timing belt. Think about your timing belt, this needs to be checked and changed because if the timing belt breaks then it will cause a lot of damage to your engine. An Oil Change is needed to look after your engine. Remind your garage to change the filters when your oil gets changed.
