We all drive different ways and for different needs, for work, pleasure or excitement. 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.
For your MOT many mechanics simply offer the option of assessing and carrying out the work to your car or van. 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.
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.
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. When you are looking for a garage, a registered dealer that specialises in your make of car is the best, but generally most expensive option.
Keep the value of your car up by giving it a regular service. Timing belts need to be checked after 20,000 miles. Don’t let your timing belt break or you will need to buy a new engine. Regular oil changes will keep the engine healthy. Check all filters from time to time, such as oil filters, air filters etc.
