Avoid The Wrong Mechanic
2
We are in the automobile servicing industry
because we simply love cars. We do not know what
else to do with our time than service cars and
improve the experience for owners.
3
We have already discussed the importance and
process of choosing a reliable car, now we must
stress the importance of maintaining that car and
keeping it running smoothly. Most of the people
in the industry strive to provide a transparent,
honest service to their customers.
4
However, a few rotten apples give the rest of us
a bad reputation.Watch Out For ThemLike in any
professional service, there are people who try to
cheat customers by offering repairs at an
inflated price.
5
At times, the mechanic provides repairs that are
not necessary for the vehicle, thereby increasing
the cost. They are also those who, because of a
lack of knowledge and skill, misdiagnose the
problem and provide the wrong solution.
6
How To Avoid ThemThere are measures you can take
that will prevent your car from falling into the
wrong hands.Ask around The first thing that you
should do is ask for recommendations from friends
and colleagues of a good mechanic.
7
Never hire someone without doing a proper
background check or talking to previous
customers.Follow the logbookA golden rule for
any car owner Follow the maintenance schedule of
the vehicle and it should not experience any
significant problems.
8
The maintenance schedule can also give an
indication if the current mechanic is doing a
good job. If your vehicle experiences shuttering
or misfiring in spite of the regular upkeep, then
it is time to change the mechanic.
9
Avoid the coupon saleWhat may promise to be a
cheap repair may end up costing more than a
regular one. The coupon sale is a technique used
by unscrupulous mechanics to get customers in the
door.
10
Once you hand over the car to them, they then try
and sell you services you do not need. Save your
money, do not go for the sale.Avoid more than a
couple of repairsAnother strategy to increase
costs on a car repair.
11
You visit the garage to get one part fixed, but
end up with a few more repairs. Do not agree to
any repairs other than the one you need. The long
list of repairs is something you should
avoid.Written estimate
12
Ask for a written estimate indicating all the
costs and the kinds of repairs done when you are
unsure of the mechanic. The estimate also keeps
the process transparent, while informing you
about the parts replaced.http//a1mobilemechanics
