We all live in a world very transitory. We are collecting and moving our families to new places more frequently than ever before. Whenever we need to build our local network of resources. You know what I'm taking on ... the new auto repair shop, school, dry cleaning, plumber, electrician, etc, etc. That usually I always find myself dreading is auto repair guy. Why? Because for some reason I always feel no matter where I go, I'm going to have taken advantage of monetarily. It is as if I had a sign on me that says "I obviously have no idea how my car works or how to solve the problem."
Let me give an example. Last week in the month of August I went to a Subaru dealer to get an oil change and tire rotation for my Subaru Outback. 2 hours later I found obvious this laundry list of repairs that were presented to me by the retailer to be urgent and potentially dangerous if did not act soon. Oh, ya did mention that this list was also estimated upwards of $ 1500. I left there thinking that my car is falling apart. I have to sell, get a new one? These fixed now have better or I might be on the side of the road, stuck with two children. Life seemed to take a hold of me and repairs on my sweet Subaru, Betty went to the way side. Two months later and we've finally gotten around to the choice of a local store to make my own repairs. Here's how the narrowed down;
Networking Group: I am a member of the group to a MOM in Denver and I find that it is a huge resource for anything from where to buy diapers which restaurants are good and which is reputable businesses around the city. If you have one of these in your area, and you're a parent, do. You'll thank me later.
Read reviews on Business: go to your local BBB and type in the name of the business that you have heard of or been shown. See if there are any complaints. Go to the search engine of your choice and type in "auto repair Denver, CO" and read reviews from Google, Yahoo, Bing, Google, Yelp, Angie on local auto repair shops. There are so many customer testimonials on the web. Educate yourself.
Check to see if they are reputable: look to see if the store is certified ASE? This certification carries a lot of weight. How long they have been in business? Can do the work of factory warranty on your car?
Get more than an estimate: If you have a main repair as you please, please, please take time to get at least two estimates on the job.
Repairs auto research: what is the average labour costs per hour? You will find that normality is $ 90-$ 120. Visit a store pieces as AutoZone to check to see what is the cost of the part. You will be able to understand very quickly if the shop is right or not in their estimates.
Finally talk to the owner of the shop to repair yourself. Let's see if I'm honest and I will let you know if you can wait for a repair or if it is a necessary to fix now. I ended up doing a lot of research and in the end it was worth it. I took my first estimate of more than $ 1500 and found a repair shop that was right in the pricelists honest about the repairs that were urgent and I ended up cutting $ 1,100 bill. The next time I need a repair that I know where I'm going to go. If any of you live in the Denver area I did your homework for you all ready.
