Maintaining your vehicle isn’t a luxury, it’s a necessity. A failure to perform routine maintenance can cause more frequent breakdowns, leaving you stranded. Yet, many consumers avoid routine maintenance because they don’t have a trusted mechanic. When searching for a quick car repair, choose Havoline® Xpress Lube of Kernersville.
Shouldn’t I Use A Dealership?
Undoubtedly, dealership service departments maintain a certain aura about them. They’re known for their large facilities, specialized technicians, and of course, brand authority. Moreover, there’s only one way to get the manufacturer to pay for a repair covered under a warranty. That’s right, bring it to the dealership.
However, dealership fees can be quite expensive. Using a smaller auto repair shop for routine maintenance and most repairs can save you lots of money. Plus, you’ll find many other added benefits besides saving money.
First, smaller facilities allow for a more personalized relationship. You’ll get to know your mechanic fostering trust. Additionally, this mechanic will become very familiar with your car. Often, your mechanic can anticipate issues and take care of them before it becomes a major issue.
Secondly, dealerships adhere to corporate standards for customer service. Often, these are minimum requirements implemented to keep customers from complaining. However, local repair shops must report directly to you. This is why you’ll often find customer service standards higher in local repair shops.
Finally, federal law protects your right to service your vehicle anywhere as long as the mechanic follows the manufacturer’s specifications. This means you can use your local mechanic for routine maintenance without fear of voiding your warranty.
Yet, before you begin any type of major repair on your car, it’s important to get a quote. Repair quotes can vary greatly between auto repair shops. Furthermore, an estimate won’t commit you to using that shop leaving you free to seek other quotes.
How Do I Find A Reputable Repair Shop?
You cannot put a price on having a reliable, trusted auto mechanic. A trusted mechanic will take the time to explain your repair and do the repair correctly.
Unfortunately, many consumers don’t have a satisfying experience when repairing their vehicle. Often, these consumers feel cheated by auto mechanics with complaints of overcharging or failure to deliver as promised. Yet, trusted, reliable auto mechanics do exist.
So, how can you find one? Begin by asking your family or friends. Then, research these car repair shops on the internet. You can look for online reviews and check the BBB.
In addition to reviews, make sure the shop has ASE-certified mechanics. Since 1972, the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence has been testing and certifying automotive professionals. ASE designs each test to determine the technician’s knowledge of job-related skills. Thus, when you choose an ASE-certified mechanic, you’ve picked someone who’s proven themselves to be a knowledgeable professional.
