How to find a reliable garage for car repairs

If your vehicle breaks down it is usually at the most inconvenient time, possibly on the way to work or the day before you are due to go on holiday. Most people rely on their vehicle so need to get it fixed as soon as possible but finding a reliable and trustworthy garage to carry out repairs can be difficult.

Local garages are usually the best to use as they will be able to come out to you without too much cost. If friends or family have used the garage they may be able to tell you about their experiences and then you can decide whether to use them or look elsewhere.

Online reviews are one way of assessing if a garage gives a good service or it may be worth looking on a site that vets businesses on your behalf. Hopefully, they will only recommend garages that have good reviews from customers.

It is a good idea to try to find a reliable garage before you need them to do emergency repairs so you could try using them for servicing and MOTs and see what sort of experience you have then you will be able to use them with confidence in the future if your vehicle breaks down.
