| − | Also find out how you are to be billed. Some shops provide repair time estimates established by manufacturers. Some repairs that are deemed "minor" may be all day jobs according to the manufacturer.

| − | Make sure to bleed your brakes after working on them. After you do this you should pump your brake fluid. Examine closely to see if any leaking has occurred. You don't want to run low on your brake fluid. You can then get ready to take a test drive in an area with little to no traffic. Start slow to see if your repairs are good, then you can accelerate.

| − | Ask your mechanic if he can wait a few hours for you to think about getting your car fixed after getting a diagnosis and a quote. Speak with other dealerships to get different estimates on the job. If you are able to find a better price, you might owe the shop some diagnostic labor, but you will not be stuck with an overpriced repair.

| − | You should be consistent when it comes to auto repair. Don't visit different shops every time you need something done. Different mechanics might tell you something else is wrong with your vehicle. This means that your car repairs may end up costing you more.

| − | Keep good records of work done on your car. Keep this log in your vehicle if you can. This can help whoever is working on the car to find the problems much easier. That helps reduce the time it takes to diagnose the issue.

| − | If your mechanic assesses the repairs to be worth more than a few hundred dollars, ask him to give you a written estimate. Written proof is helpful if you must file any complaints against your mechanic. No only that, but with a written quote, the mechanic will probably not add repairs that are not necessary.

| − | Make sure the repair shop technician is familiar with the particular model of your vehicle. If they are able to say they've done work on a vehicle similar to yours, then they're probably aware of what kind of work is necessary to fix yours.

| − | Your car still needs to be washed during the winter, even though the weather makes it more difficult. Although you may think there is no point to it, your car is more likely to get damaged in the winter. Road salt and sand cause rust and abrasion. Prevent ice from forming on your car: dry it thoroughly after washing.

| − | When you need your car repaired, let the mechanic ride in the vehicle with you first. Then you can show, first hand, what is going on with your car. This is an easier way to show them your problem.

| − | Look out for obvious "red flags" when dealing with a new auto repair company. If you have trouble getting a straight answer out of them, (or if, even worse, they refuse to answer questions to your satisfaction) they probably aren't the kind of people you want to work with. Having a mechanic you can trust is extremely important; don't waste your time with one who can't make you confident in his skills.
