Whatever sort of vehicle you drive, large, small or commercial, they all need repairs from time to time, and they always cost a lot. 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.
When it comes to your MOT some garage mechanics will look at your car first and carry our any remedial works. It might be better to take your car to a garage that both tests and repairs your vehicle. 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.
Look out for wear on brake pads, windscreen wipers and filters as a trip to your local motor parts shop will save you a fortune compared to a garage changing these for you.
Government testing centres are a good bet, your car will be guaranteed to be properly tested without any split loyalties on the part of the mechanic and will ensure you save money in the long run. 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.
Servicing, Servicing, Servicing. When you get to 20,000 miles you should be looking to change your timing belt. A broken timing belt will mean a new engine. Regular oil changes will keep the engine healthy. When the oil is changed it is important to change filters also.
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.
