Motorway driving, country lane driving or just to the shops and back, it is always expensive for running repairs and maintenance on your car. Follow our tips for finding the best garage and you will save money without a doubt.
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. 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. If you look for a garage, an expensive but high quality option is to go to a dealership for your make of vehicle.
Don't overlook how important regular servicing is. Timing belts need to be checked after 20,000 miles. A broken timing belt spells curtains for your engine. An Oil Change is needed to look after your engine. Check all filters from time to time, such as oil filters, air filters etc.
If you can’t decide what you want to do about finding a garage, then browse our Find Me A Garage website directory, or use our extensive search facilities to find exactly what you need, whether that be repairs, MOT or Servicing.
