Frequently Asked Questions

A full auto repair service is typically recommended once a year or every 12,000 miles, but this depends on your car’s model, and driving habits. If you notice unusual noises, decreased performance, or dashboard warning lights, you should get your vehicle checked immediately.

Yes, auto repair shops in many places have a mechanic’s lien, which legally allows them to keep your car until the bill is paid. However, they must provide a detailed invoice for the work done, and any disputes should be resolved before signing off on repairs. If you suspect unfair practices, check local consumer protection laws or file a complaint with authorities.

Watch out for red flags like unnecessary repairs, uncertain pricing, or refusal to show damaged parts. A trustworthy shop will provide:

  • A detailed estimate before work begins
  • A clear explanation of needed repairs
  • The option to see or keep replaced parts
  • Reasonable that aligns with market rates

We recommend always comparing quotes and reading customer reviews before moving forward with your chosen auto repair shop. 

Yes! We have gathered reviews from multiple platforms like Bing and Yelp to give you a detailed reputation score for auto repair shops. You can filter results based on service quality, pricing, turnaround time, and customer satisfaction and choose a top-ranked auto repair shop near you.

Ideally, look for certified mechanics who have a good reputation and transparent pricing plans. Check for ASE or manufacturer certifications. Read customer reviews and ask for written estimates before approving repairs. A reliable shop will offer warranties on parts and labor and communicate clearly about costs and timelines. Avoid shops that pressure you into unnecessary services.
