Looking for a repair shop can be as easy as typing "repair shop" into Google, or looking up ads in the newspaper. However, the sheer number of options can be overwhelming, and how do you know that you've found a trustworthy repair shop where they do quality work? The best way to find a reputable repair shop is through recommendations from friends, neighbors, interview reviews or Better Business Bureau.
If you don'y have a regular auto shop you might want to start looking, even if your car doesn't need an immediate repair. Remember, the worst time to find a repair shop is when your car has broken down or during an emergency. When choosing a shop, don't just look at the prices they have during a sale, or the size of the garage. Many larger shops and franchised shops don't have the ability to keep up with the volume of customers they service and won't be able to give personalized care to every customer they see.
It would be to your advantage to begin looking for a repair shop when your car needs scheduled maintenance - this way you can start off with low cost, small items and get to know the shop. If the service you received for an oil change isn't satisfactory, do you really want these same mechanics doing a much larger service like replacing a timing belt or doing work on your engine?
