Whatever sort of vehicle you drive, large, small or commercial, they all need repairs from time to time, and they always cost a lot. 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 then trust the garage to not carry out unneeded repairs just to make money from you.
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.
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. They won’t be cheap, but a dealer that looks after your make of car exclusively will almost always give you good 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. A broken timing belt spells curtains for your 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.
