Auto Repair And You: Tips And Tricks

Anyone who owns a car knows that it is a matter of time before something will need to be repaired. You can save a lot by learning to maintain your car yourself and replacing small parts yourself. Apply what you've just learned, and you can't go wrong. This information may prove to be quite useful to you down the road.

Make sure you get quality parts to fix your car. You can usually get better prices if you get used parts from a junk yard but there is no way of knowing how long these parts will last. Do not hesitate to spend more on brand new parts that come with a guarantee.

Do not take your car to the first mechanic you find. You need to do some research to find a reliable mechanic with fair prices. Ask your friends and family about the mechanics they have been to in the past and check the Internet to find reviews written by other customers.

Regularly check out your radiator. Run your car, turn it off then pop the hood. You never want to open up the radiator if your car is still running. Look to see what the fluid level is (use a dipstick), and remember that coolant needs to have a bit of water added prior to entering your radiator.

Ask the tech if they've done work on your model and make of car before. If they have experience with your type of car, they are more likely able to correctly diagnose and fix the problems your vehicle is having.

Always ask lots of questions when you take your car to get repaired. Don't let the mechanic intimidate you. Ask why something needs to be fixed or how it will be done. If the mechanic tries to brush you off, doesn't look at you, or refuses to answer your questions, consider taking your car to someone else.

Be careful of mechanics who will do unnecessary work on your vehicle. All reputable mechanics will notify you before doing any repairs and will inform you of any parts that could require repairs in the immediate future. Don't go back to mechanics who made unneeded repairs.

Make sure you get a signed copy of the estimate for the repairs. You also need to make sure that the contract contains a clause that the shop must contact you before exceeding the total on the estimate. This will protect you from getting a surprise bill once work is completed.

Pay attention to the signs a potential mechanic gives to you. If he cannot give you eye contact, rushes his words, or avoids answering any questions you have for him, he may be trying to hide something. Perhaps he does not really know what he is doing or is lying about something else. If this is the case, go with another mechanic.

Take action if you believe a garage or dealership ripped you off. Notify one of the manager and give them a chance to issue a refund. If you are still not satisfied, contact your local Better Business Bureau to file a complaint. Your city or state consumer affair office is also a good resource.

There are no standard warranties on repairs. Make sure you are aware of what your warranty covers and that you have it in writing. Warranties may have limitations such as deductibles, mileage, time, businesses authorized to do the warranty work or special steps needed to get reimbursement. Know your warranty rights.

Auto problems can be very frustrating. They can also be very costly. You can save a lot of time and money by learning more about auto repairs and preventative maintenance. This article was just the beginning; you should do more research on this topic.
