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.
Looking for somewhere to have repairs done at a reasonable cost can be tricky, so take a look around using our directory and see if you can find the best of the bunch.
MOT time is always a worry if you have your local garage take a look at your car first and carry out any repairs they think need to be done for you to pass your test. Of course many garages carry out repairs and do the testing themselves, and this is an option you could consider. 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.
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. 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.
Don't overlook how important regular servicing is. Timing belts need to be checked after 20,000 miles. Think about your timing belt, this needs to be checked and changed because if the timing belt breaks then it will cause a lot of damage to your engine. Look after your engine by giving it an oil change. When the oil is changed it is important to change filters also.
