How to get a better deal from your garage

A car owner’s guide
to servicing and repairs...
Servicing your car will make it last longer. It also makes it safer for you, your passengers and the environment. Here are some tips to help you avoid dodgy garages, get effective work done and achieve good value for a service or a repair of your car. If you have car finance bought from a dealer, the last thing you want is to be paying huge bills as well as your monthly payments for your motor.

START NOW
• Don’t wait until you need a service or repair
• Spend time comparing garages beforehand
• Get your car serviced regularly
• Ask around about good garages

A RELIABLE GARAGE WILL CERTAINLY DO
SOME, OR ALL, OF THE FOLLOWING
• Display a menu of fixed cost works
• Tell you how much they will charge to diagnose a fault if it includes dismantling and putting back together
• Be a member of a trade association (such as the Motor Vehicle Repairers Association)
• Have trained staff and display certificates
• Have an auto complaints procedure
