Motorway driving, country lane driving or just to the shops and back, it is always expensive for running repairs and maintenance on your car. 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.
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. Taking your car to an approved MOT testing garage that can also carry out repairs is another option. 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.
MOT centres run by local government offices are less likely to create unneeded repairs as they don’t need to generate work as some garages do. They are almost always more expensive, but a dealer in your make of car will provide a top quality service.
It's important to get a regular service. Timing belts should be changed between 15,000 and 20,000 miles. If you don't change it and it snaps, it could cost you a new engine. Look after your engine by giving it an oil change. Remember to change all the filters on your engine.
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.
