People hate fixing cars. Most people rely on their cars to get them to work, school and for recreational activities. When your reliable car suddenly becomes unreliable, most people are driven to exasperation. You need to immediately get your car fixed, correctly and at an affordable price. Where do you turn when this happens?

In days long gone by, your local service station used to be your best friend in such a crisis. A full service station is often very difficult to find in these modern times of self-service quick marts. Today most stations don?t even offer a service department or automotive repairs, unlike before, when everyone knew their local service station repairman and could rely on their assistance in an emergency. The majority offer fuel, food and some modern convenience items, but that?s about it. You may decide to take your car to the neighborhood full service station for repairs by a trusted automotive repairman you?ve known for years, if you are fortunate enough to still have one in your area.

Consider the dealership where you purchased your vehicle, if that is not an option for you. Almost every dealership?s repair staff is knowledgeable about the brands they sell. Repair staff may even be required to have a certification in maintenance and repair of their brands. This may be your only option if your vehicle is still under warranty. Compared to other repair shops, dealership service typically does incur higher labor and parts rates. Most warranties require that you bring your car to a manufacturer?s approved service facility to maintain the warranty. Sometimes, as part of the deal when you buy a new car, many new dealerships include some level of maintenance service. These services may include oil changes, fluid checks and sometimes even tire rotation.

You may desire to find a qualified service and repair shop that will cost a bit less in labor charges if your car is already beyond the warranty period. If you decide to seek out an alternative service repair location instead of a specific manufacturer?s dealer representative, then ensure the automotive mechanics are ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) certified. This means that the mechanic working on your car has passed testing on various aspects of automotive repair and maintenance and has had extensive training on the subject matter. ASE certified professionals are masters of their crafts and in their area of specialty from specific engines to drive train and body work. Most ASE mechanics display their certification documents, or have an embroidered patch on their work clothes displaying their certification status.

The goal is to get your vehicle repaired correctly and get you back on the road quickly at the lowest expenditure possible. Taking a few moments to check out your repair options can save you from a possible headache due to faulty repairs and spare you some cash.
