Boy Racers and Sunday Drivers have one thing in common, the expense of repairs for your car, which always seem to be dearer than your last trip to the garage. 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.
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. Another route is to use a garage that carries out MOTs and does the repairs themselves. 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.
Garages enjoy charging high rates for the most minor things, learn how to change your own oil and air filters and spark plugs and you will definitely save money.
Look out for local government MOT centres, these are impartial and will help keep the bills down whilst ensuring that your car is safe and sound on the roads. 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. Timing belts should be changed between 15,000 and 20,000 miles. If you don't change it and it snaps, it could cost you a new engine. Regular oil changes will keep the engine healthy. Remind your garage to change the filters when your oil gets changed.
The choices are bewildering, but our Find Me A Garage service will give you all the options available in your area, browse through our pages or use our search facilities to find just the right mechanic for you, that offers services, MOT and repairs.
