When hiring someone to do a job for you, you need to know that you can trust them, not only to do a great job but also that they are honest and reliable.

Read our guide for how to find a great mechanic in your area.

Ask for recommendations

One of the best ways to find a great Bexley mechanic is to ask around. Lots of people have vehicles and it is essential to get them maintained and serviced. When people have a good experience with a mechanic, they tend to stay with the same one and therefore you can trust their recommendations.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions

When you visit a potential mechanic, don’t be afraid to ask them questions. You can enquire into their experience and whether they are knowledgeable in the make and model of your vehicle. You can also look them up online to get a flavour for their work ethic and policies.

You should find out if the work that is carried out is guaranteed, whether they will call you about big decisions before completing the work and whether they guarantee their estimates, along with your own questions.

Begin with a small job

If you are feeling nervous about finding a new Earlwood mechanic, begin by taking your vehicle in for a small job where you will be able to experience how your mechanic works and whether you trust them. Listen to your gut and your instincts will tell you what you need to know.

Do some research

You do not need to know as much as a mechanic when it comes to cars or you wouldn’t need to go to them, but it never hurts to know about your car. Find out about things like how much a regular service should cost on your make and model in your area and you will be able to judge whether you are getting a good deal.

Check they are licensed

Before you allow the mechanic to complete any work on your car, check the technicians are licensed and have the appropriate accreditations. If they have, it means they are qualified to work on your vehicle, and you can be safe in the knowledge that your car is in skilled hands.

First impressions matter

When it comes to most things, your first impressions matter and this is no different with mechanics. When you first enter the reception area, what is your impression? Do you get positive vibes? Is the area clean and tidy? Are the staff friendly? All of this can make a big difference to your experience.

If it doesn’t feel right, walk away

If you don’t feel comfortable when you get to the mechanic’s shop, walk away and find a different one.

Once you find the right mechanic, you can enjoy a happy working relationship with them.
