• A little bit of knowledge goes a long way,
  and without it, your mechanic could swindle you
  with blinker fluid or a coolant flush for your
  air-cooled Volkswagen Beetle says Car Parts
  Kenya. Thats why its so important to ask your
  mechanic the right questions. Knowledge gives you
  peace of mind and builds a bond between you and
  your friendly neighborhood wrench.

• How much will the diagnosis cost?
• Modern cars are essentially computers on
  wheels with a few greasy bits thrown in for good
  measure. Because they are so complex, diagnostics
  can take a considerable amount of time. Mechanics
  expect to get paid for this time, which is
  understandable. Just be certain to ask the cost
  of tracking down that short in your Mercedes with
  55 pounds of wiring.

• Can I get a written estimate?
• You dont want to just hand over the keys to
  your car along with access to your wallet. Get a
  written estimate upfront of what the car repair
  and car maintenance will cost, and make sure both
  parts and labor are itemized. You have the right
  to know exactly whats required to fix your car.

• When will the car repair and car maintenance
  be done?
• Car Parts Kenya says some mechanics can fall
  victim to procrastination. Thats why its a good
  idea to ask for an approximate delivery time
  before dropping off your vehicle. Having a set
  date and time will keep your mechanic on track,
  so you dont have to choose between a bus pass
  and sneakers for transportation.

• Can you show me the problem?
• You wouldnt let a doctor operate on you
  without looking at the x-rays first. So you
  shouldnt let a mechanic work on your car without
  showing you what the problem is first.
  Demonstrating the failure builds trust with car
  service Kenya and helps you better understand
  your vehicle.

• Which repairs require immediate attention and
  which are just recommendations?
• If you lose your tie rod, you lose your
  steering. A tie rod thats barely hanging on
  requires immediate attention. On the other hand,
  a dirty cabin filter is something you can put off
  (if you dont mind breathing in dust particles
  and mites for a little while). Ask the mechanic
  which repairs are essential and which are merely
  recommended.

• What other repairs are in my near future?
• Sometimes shops sell repairs on vehicles
  that really shouldnt be repaired. To address a
  customer concern, they turn a blind eye to the
  fact that the vehicle is held together by rust
  and good luck. Before you agree to a big repair,
  ask the mechanic what else your vehicle will need
  in the near future. If you get a list the size of
  a calculus textbook, you might consider looking
  for a new car instead of investing in repairing
  the old one.
• Asking these simple questions can help you
  make wise decisions and it can also help you form
  an honest relationship with your mechanic. 
• Car Parts Kenya says, dont be shy speak up!
