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.
Many people look towards their garage to carry our repair work in advance of their annual MOT test. Of course many garages carry out repairs and do the testing themselves, and this is an option you could consider. 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. When you are looking for a garage, a registered dealer that specialises in your make of car is the best, but generally most expensive option.
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.
However you decide to go, search or browse our Find Me A Garage website and you should be able to find just the right mechanic, service or repair at just the right price.
