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.
Many people look towards their garage to carry our repair work in advance of their annual MOT test. Of course many garages carry out repairs and do the testing themselves, and this is an option you could consider. You are now in the lap of the gods and it is down to the honesty of the garage and its mechanics to be sure that you don’t have repairs carried out that aren’t actually needed.
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. They won’t be cheap, but a dealer that looks after your make of car exclusively will almost always give you good quality service.
Regular services are a must. Be sure to check the timing belt, which is sometimes called the cam belt. A broken timing belt spells curtains for your engine. Look after your engine by giving it an oil change. When the oil is changed it is important to change filters also.
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.
