Tips for Choosing a Car Repair Shop

  • Ask for recommendations from friends, family, and other people you trust. Look for an car repair shop before you need one to avoid being rushed into a last-minute decision.
  • Shop around for an car repair shop by telephone for the best deal, and compare warranties on repairs.
  • Ask if the mechanic or car repair shop has experience working on the same make or model vehicle that intend to bring in.
  • Ask to see current licenses if local law requires auto repair shops to be licensed or registered.
  • Make sure the car repair shop will honor your vehicle's warranty.
  • Look for car repair shops that display certifications - like a seal of Automotive Service Excellence.
