    After your children, your car is one of the most demanding pieces of machinery you will happen to own. Of course this varies person to person. And with people working just about as anything. When their car decides to throw a tantrum it can get pretty difficult to stop. Luckily there is automotive repair garage insurance, people who help with that very thing car doctors or mechanics as they are more commonly known.

    If you happen to have a new car that is still on a maintenance plan the best advice would be to stay away from a mechanic unless your dealership tells you something along the lines of. You re gears are gone and a new gearbox will cost R100 000. Your insurance says it won t pay then it would be advisable to shop around for a second opinion, mainly an accredited mechanic that deals with either 1) car gearboxes or two 2) a specific model or manufacture.

    There is nothing wrong with asking for help. Ask a friend who always seems not to have any problems with their car where they happen to get it fixed, if the company you keep happens to all drive brand new cars than car hire and rental fleets are your next place of assistance. They abide by strict guidelines in order to keep the bread and butter of their business in order so chances are you won t go wrong if you approach them.

    How do the premises look? Are they clean, well as far as workshops go? Listen to your gut based on the first impression you get from the garage. How are cars parked? Is only one person working on a vehicle at a time or is there more than one person attending to a car. Also look out for their customer service skills, they are not going to be a trained call centre but did they seem professional. All these things matter.

    Have you considered interviewing your prospective mechanic? Hello, who are you and what do you do? I m Jim and I fix cars won t suffice nor will a So tell me about yourself?

    Talk to your mechanic after they have fixed this and that. They may be more likely to teach you about your car more than anybody else so it is good to take any moment you can get to educate yourself about your car. Even if things don t work out with your current mechanic at least you have come prepared when in search of the next one.

    Look for what types of affiliations the mechanic is with. This is because organisations such as the AA and the like will have strict code of conducts and procedures in order to ensure the business is reputable and deserving of their affiliation.

    Not all mechanics are underhanded and sleazy but it is the responsibility of the consumer to take as many precautions as possible so that they are not exploited. Also certification and accreditation are fundamental steps in finding a trusted mechanic.
