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.
Finding a garage that you can trust to carry out repairs without ripping you off can be a nightmare, so take a look at our listings and shop around for the best offer.
For your annual MOT test one option is to get a mechanic to look over your car beforehand and sort out any repairs he thinks need to be done. Of course many garages carry out repairs and do the testing themselves, and this is an option you could consider. 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.
Garages enjoy charging high rates for the most minor things, learn how to change your own oil and air filters and spark plugs and you will definitely save money.
Look out for local government MOT centres, these are impartial and will help keep the bills down whilst ensuring that your car is safe and sound on the roads. 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. Be sure to check the timing belt, which is sometimes called the cam belt. Don’t let your timing belt break or you will need to buy a new engine. Look after your engine by giving it an oil change. Remember to change all the filters on your engine.
