What is of the utmost importance to note for anybody with a car, especially if it is a first time car buyer or a brand new car is that it is always advisable and in this case stressed, that any car under a service plan should be tended to by the dealer of that particular car manufacturer. As costly as it may be this is to ensure that the car owner does not void the warranty that was agreed upon when signing for the purchase of that motor vehicle.

No one likes to be ripped off so it is important to do your research. Have a basic understanding of how much a spark plug costs for example so in the event you approach a mechanic they do not try take advantage of you and charge you R300 for a part that usually cost R30. Also be weary of additional costs, don t find yourself paying for a 2 hour service fee when all it took to repair your car was 30 minutes.

Another great idea to try is to start small. If s a consumer you have picked your chosen mechanic. Start small, tire rotations and oil changes, build up a relationship of trust with your mechanic and then when something goes wrong, you know have an idea of where to take your car.

Other possible questions to ask should revolve around parts availability and whether you are able to bring them in if you find a cheaper alternative?

Lastly and more importantly, costs revolving the car, are there any additional expenses, such as keeping the car in their workshop, overtime etc in order not to be surprised by the receipt?

Ask around, friends family basically anybody who has used a mechanic will be able to tell you where to and not to go based on their experience. If there isn t a pool big enough to make a decision, the internet is your friend. Look at reviews of garages you had in mind or were intending on going. All of this should be able to give a distinction of the bad apples. Finding a trusted mechanic is not hard it just needs research.
