There are several ways to find a local mechanic:
- Ask for recommendations from friends and family.
- Search online for mechanics in your area. Websites like Yell and Google search can provide customer reviews of local mechanics.
- Check the website of a national chain of car repair such as Kwik Fit, AA, etc
- Call your car’s dealership and ask if they have a referral service.
Once you have a list of potential mechanics, be sure to check their certifications and read customer reviews online to get a sense of their level of expertise and customer service. You can also ask for quotes from multiple mechanics before making a decision.
