MAINTENANCE Q & A How
do I find a good mechanic?
Talk to friends and relatives
and rely on referrals. Look for someone that you trust and that has a good reputation
within the industry. When going in for repair make sure the mechanic has a willingness
to physically show you what's wrong with the car.
What
types of questions should I ask a mechanic I'm considering using?
Ask
the labor rate, i.e. How much do they charge per hour. The national average is
between $65 and $90 for repair and maintenance. This includes dealerships. Have
a conversation with the mechanic to determine friendliness and honesty. You can
make some simple assumptions of how a person will care for your car and service
it based on a simple conversation.
What should
I know before visiting a repair shop?
Simple things like the year,
make and model of your car are helpful. Also, the engine size, service history
and where the car was last serviced can be useful. What
are the biggest maintenance safety issues?
Tires and Brakes ---
both are designed to wear out. Remember, your tires are what you're riding on
and your brakes are what's stopping you!
