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 MOT many mechanics simply offer the option of assessing and carrying out the work to your car or van. Taking your car to an approved MOT testing garage that can also carry out repairs is another option. This is where it becomes important that you don’t use a garage that might charge you for repairs to get the car through its test that don’t actually need to be carried out.
Brakes and tyre treads are often reasons for failing tests, and these can often be repaired more cheaply at specialist garages that buy components in bulk.
You can be sure that MOT centres that don’t carry out their own repairs will give you a straightforward test, and Government testing centres are better again. They are almost always more expensive, but a dealer in your make of car will provide a top quality service.
Keep the value of your car up by giving it a regular service. Be sure to check the timing belt, which is sometimes called the cam belt. Don’t let your timing belt break or you will need to buy a new engine. Change your oil to keep the engine running smoothly. Check all filters from time to time, such as oil filters, air filters etc.
