Going to the dealer is the most logical choice for many. And why not, they have the latest equipment and technicians that have been specially trained by the manufacturers. However, their expertise and labor come at a stiff price.
Then you have the large repair shops which indeed have a better pricing than the dealership, but the type of labor available here could be questionable.
The small repair shops often have a lot of enthusiastic mechanics. However it is a pity that they cannot afford to buy the expensive equipment needed for repair or go to through the costly training.
With so many options available, how does one go about choosing the best option$%: For this, one would have to consider a lot of factors, in addition to cost and savings.
There is little better than a good reference in the car repair business. Talk to people who have had their car repaired. Learn about their experiences with dealers and repair shops. You can also check out with your local Better Business Bureau (BBB) and find out whether there are any complaints against the shop you are planning to go to.
Another very wise thing would be to be aware of the condition and needs of your vehicle. This will go a long way in saving you a lot of money. Not only that, it will also help you decide whether to approach the dealer, a large shop or a small shop.
Car repair and maintenance can be a pleasant or painful experience, depending upon how prepared you are.
