What To Look For In A Good Auto Mechanic

What To Look For In A Good Auto Mechanic

Published February 23rd, 2018

Within any profession, you’ll find hardworking and honest people, and then others who aren’t as committed and don’t do as good a job. When you’re selecting a mechanic, there’s always the concern that they’ll try to take advantage of you, or fail to properly diagnose the problem with your vehicle. So that’s why we’ve pointed out the particular things you should look out for when taking your car in for a service next.

  1. They keep it simple

Unless you’re a car fanatic yourself, you’re probably going to be mystified at the dozens of terms and names of parts within your car. Instead of trying to make the problem seem as complex as possible to charge more for a repair, a quality mechanic will take time to ensure you understand what is wrong and what is needed to rectify the problem.

  1. They keep their promises

The best mechanics under-promise and over-deliver, never committing to something they can’t do or to a timeframe that’s unrealistic. A good mechanic will rarely (if ever) change the quoted price of a repair or service once they’ve given it to you, and they’ll also never tell you that your car is ready for collection unless it actually is.

  1. They communicate well

Many people dread taking their cars in for repairs or services, as some previous mechanics might have been condescending, or assume they know nothing about cars. A good mechanic will never make such assumptions and will treat every customer in the same regard, easing the fears of clients who aren’t familiar with vehicle repair services.

  1. They value time

Ever dropped something off for repair or cleaning, yet hours or days later you haven’t heard anything back. A good mechanic will always be honest with you regarding when your car will be ready and when you can collect it.

It’s never convenient to get your car serviced or having to deal with breakdowns and repairs. That’s why it’s so important to have a mechanic that you can build a relationship with, as it will make the experience a much more pleasant one.

For a mechanic that you can trust, find your nearest ABS service centre today or book a service online now.
