Here are two bits of advice to help you find a good car repair shop. The first thing to look for is Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) certification from places like AC Delco, Ford Motor Company or Bendix. While ASE certification does not indicate that they’re really good… it does indicate that the technicians go on their own time, or the business has given them the incentive to study, to take the course and go and show their skills are worthy of certification.
You should also take a look around to see that a car repair shop has all the right equipment in place (like a proper tire mounting machine with rubber mounts that don’t scratch your wheels or an alignment rack with laser measurements) to do the job well. Updated, proper diagnostic equipment is also important. A shop that has invested in the proper equipment to service today’s automobiles is usually a shop that you can trust, because they are not going to buy that expensive equipment and then have people who are not qualified to use it.
Who will pay next time you have a major auto repair? Protect your investment with an extended warranty!.
