Motorway driving, country lane driving or just to the shops and back, it is always expensive for running repairs and maintenance on your car. 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.
Many people look towards their garage to carry our repair work in advance of their annual MOT test. It might be better to take your car to a garage that both tests and repairs your vehicle. 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.
Don’t let garages charge exorbitant rates for changing filters and bulbs, go to your nearest spares shop and do it yourself to save yourself a packet.
MOT centres run by local government offices are less likely to create unneeded repairs as they don’t need to generate work as some garages do. If you look for a garage, an expensive but high quality option is to go to a dealership for your make of vehicle.
It's important to get a regular service. Timing belts should be changed between 15,000 and 20,000 miles. A broken timing belt will mean a new engine. An oil change for your car is as good as a major overhaul. Remember to change all the filters on your engine.
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.
