Auto repair help

Your car refuses to start, or, suddenly dies in the middle of nowhere. You see a warning light about some leakage from the engine giving out strange odor and unusual noise. The engine may have become over heated or the battery may have exhausted. You try to reverse your car, but the transmission does not cooperate. The air conditioner is blowing out hot air. The breakdown of your car creates a scary scenario of being ripped off by the unscrupulous mechanics. Car drivers with little or no mechanical knowledge are particularly vulnerable because they sometimes do not even know the names of the parts, not to speak of how the problem will be fixed and how much it would cost.

Accredited Mechanics

The best avenue for seeking auto repair help is to go to a reputed auto repair shop. Consult your friends and neighbors about their favorite car mechanics. Ensure that the auto mechanic you go to is affiliated with group such as AAA and /or has ASE certified technicians. The shop should be following the code of ethics and repair standards established by the Motorist Assurance Program- MAP. It is advisable to check their website for more details. You must also check that the workshop is clean and the mechanical staff is competent and customer friendly.

Your ignorance notwithstanding you must ask the mechanic to explain the repairs that are needed and also a written estimate of the cost of each part and the labor charges and that the work would be backed with a written guarantee.

Flat rate Billing

Usually the mechanics prepare the repair bills on the basis of flat rates. Repair work is classified on the basis of the year, make and model. The repair time varies a great deal from one vehicle to another. Changing a starter in a car is relatively easier job and takes less time, but removing a part of the exhaust system may take more time. All these estimated labor times are calculated, tabulated and published by the vehicle manufacturers as well as different aftermarket sources. You must insist upon seeing these charts and that the shops should refer to these charts before presenting you with repair estimates.
