Motorway driving, country lane driving or just to the shops and back, it is always expensive for running repairs and maintenance on your car. Browse through our website for tips on saving you money and getting the best mechanic for your needs.
Unfortunately, garages have developed a terrible reputation for overcharging, so we have provided a directory of all the local garages in your area to let you browse around and choose the best one for your needs.
For your annual MOT test one option is to get a mechanic to look over your car beforehand and sort out any repairs he thinks need to be done. It might be better to take your car to a garage that both tests and repairs your vehicle. You are now in the lap of the gods and it is down to the honesty of the garage and its mechanics to be sure that you don’t have repairs carried out that aren’t actually needed.
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.
If you are in any doubt, government run MOT centres will carry out your test by the book and won’t be creating work for themselves on the back of your test. They are almost always more expensive, but a dealer in your make of car will provide a top quality service.
Don't overlook how important regular servicing is. When you get to 20,000 miles you should be looking to change your timing belt. Don’t let your timing belt break or you will need to buy a new engine. An Oil Change is needed to look after your engine. When the oil is changed it is important to change filters also.
If you find that there are too many choices for you, and can’t decide on the many options available, then our comprehensive Find Me A Garage web directory will provide you with the ability to find just the garage and mechanics that you need.
