How do I find a great repair shop?

Finding a repair shop that provides great repair, service and value for your dollar is not difficult. You just have to stop looking for the great shops where all the bad ones advertise.

1. A great place to ask where to find a auto repair center is from family, friends, co-workers, &community members.
2. You can also contact your Chamber of Commerce and local clubs, find out which business has the best reputation.
3. Call the Better Business Bureau or check their website. Don't forget the old saying "You get what you pay for." Be a good consumer and be aware of what you are paying, but don't fall for the lowest price in town. You are not only paying for parts and labor but also the technical expertise, knowledge, equipment, warranty and experience. A good shop will save you money in the long run.
4. Look for a shop that hires only ASE certified technicians. Shops that are quality conscious hire only the best in our industry. Don't just look for the ASE signs and symbols, they can easily be put in ads and walls. Ask to see the technicians credentials before the work is started on your car.
5. Compare warranty from shop to shop. A quality shop will stand behind their products 100% if they believe in themselves.
6. Choose an auto repair facility that is clean and tidy. A shop that is clean is a good representation that the owners care about their business. A good positive image is a good sign of a shop that intends on serving the community for the log term.
7. Choose a shop that has stood the test of time. Many shops come and go, some change hands very often. Find a shop that has been established, a long term successful shop means their treating people right.
