Those savvy enough may be able to get under the bonnet themselves, but for most of us \u2013 even those with a fair bit of motor knowledge \u2013 a professional is often needed who can supply the right tools and get the job done efficiently. Here are some tips for visiting a mechanic \u2013 and ensuring that you don\u2019t get taken for a ride!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Claim for Insurance First<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the reason for visiting a mechanic is due to a car accident, theft or damage, the first thing you\u2019ll want to do is get your insurance payment. Getting repairs before an insurance company has accepted your claim could result in your insurance being void. This is in case insurance companies need to follow up with further photographic evidence or information about the damage. Even if you want to protect your no claims bonus and decide not to take action, notifying your insurance company before getting repairs may be required with some providers.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Shop Around for Individual Repairs<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Individual garages may cater more towards specific car manufacturers or to repairs surrounding certain parts. If you are looking to save costs, there are many sites that can provide comparisons on repairs (this site<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoserviceprices.com\/walmart-car-service\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">http:\/\/www.autoserviceprices.com\/walmart-car-service\/<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is a good example). Note that a specialist garage such as a tyre specialist may be able to offer more specific advice, cheaper rates or bundles not found elsewhere.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Trusted \u00a0Mechanics<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are various industry trade bodies such as the NFDA, the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.independentgarageassociation.co.uk\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Independent Garage Association<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and Motor Codes that can be good indicators of a trusted mechanic. Quizzing technicians about their qualifications may be a bit much, but feel free to look online at their website \u2013 most garages will market themselves on the fact that they are part of a trade body, so such information shouldn\u2019t be difficult to find.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Don\u2019t Rely Purely on Price<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s likely that you may find a local budget mechanic, but be aware that there may be a reason for charging ridiculously low prices compared to competitors. Check the <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cartalk.com\/mechanics-files\/mechanic\/all-states\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reviews<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that that garage has received \u2013 they may be compensating for a bad reputation. Also be careful of tricks like buying second-hand partially worn tyres \u2013 these may be cheaper but you\u2019ll most likely need to get them replaced again soon, making it a short term investment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Make Sure There\u2019s a Guarantee on Parts<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most garages will provide a guarantee on parts, lasting usually up to a year. This will cover you if a new part breaks within this time, or if there was a misdiagnosis and the fault continues afterwards. Ask this before handing over money \u2013 some garages may charge it as an extra but a lot of reputable garages will include as part of the repair cost. If you\u2019re buying parts yourself and doing repairs DIY, you may also be able to get a guarantee directly from the supplier.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whether you\u2019re looking for a regular service or trying to treat a specific fault, it\u2019s important to choose the right mechanic for you.
