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. 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.
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. 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. Regular oil changes will keep the engine healthy. Change the filters, oil, and diesel, whatever you've got on your car.
The choices are bewildering, but our Find Me A Garage service will give you all the options available in your area, browse through our pages or use our search facilities to find just the right mechanic for you, that offers services, MOT and repairs.
