Motorway driving, country lane driving or just to the shops and back, it is always expensive for running repairs and maintenance on your car. Our website may be just the ticket to help you enjoy your driving and get the best out of your car, so look out for our money saving tips scattered throughout the site.
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. You could consider having a garage that both tests and repairs cars to do the MOT. You then trust the garage to not carry out unneeded repairs just to make money from you.
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. Dealerships provide an excellent service as they will have expert knowledge of your particular make of car, but they are generally the most expensive repair option.
It's important to get a regular service. Be sure to check the timing belt, which is sometimes called the cam belt. If you don't change it and it snaps, it could cost you a new engine. An oil change for your car is as good as a major overhaul. Remind your garage to change the filters when your oil gets changed.
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.
