Finding a good mechanic is not always the easiest thing. We have relied on our warranties up until now but warranties have a way of expiring as our vehicles have a way of aging, like us.
Bobby noticed a leak in his car and was having to add antifreeze. He made an appointment with the dealership service department as that was his first choice. Off to the dealer he went, in return he was handed an estimate for $1,200.00. That did not pass the sanity check with him so the only thing he knew to do was find a mechanic in the area. To find a good mechanic in Bobby’s opinion was to look online and check out the reviews. He found one with great reviews and decided that was the place to go. That turned out to be a terrific experience as they diagnosed the problem the same as the dealer minus a whopping $800.00. Bobby got his car fixed for just under $400.00 and will definitely be writing a great review for that mechanic. Needless to say, we will be visiting that wonderful establishment in the future.
We also frequent the “home boy” mechanics-the locals with a great reputation and honesty. We too have had terrible luck with dealership repair shops!
