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.
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 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. 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.
Look out for wear on brake pads, windscreen wipers and filters as a trip to your local motor parts shop will save you a fortune compared to a garage changing these for you.
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. 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 need to be checked after 20,000 miles. If you don't change it and it snaps, it could cost you 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.
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.
