We all want to find a reliable, and not too expensive, garage where we can have our vehicle serviced, and with so many auto garages out there, it can seem like a daunting challenge to find one that ticks all the boxes. Here are a few things to look for when sourcing a maintenance garage for your car.
- Transparent Pricing Structure – Some garages seem to be quite secretive about their pricing, and this can often result in a nasty surprise when the bill arrives. Take Hythe Garage services as a prime example of a company that offers transparent pricing, plus they offer a top-notch service at very affordable prices.
- The Good Garage Scheme – This is a great benchmark for UK car owners, and any garage that is affiliated with this organisation would have to pass very stringent tests. If your car is still under warranty, it can be serviced or repaired by a Good Garage Scheme member without invalidating the warranty.
- Online Customer Testimonials – Another great indication of a garage’s level of overall service, any decent garage would have a page full of client testimonials on their website, and this gives you some peace of mind.
- Rapid Response – When making an online enquiry, you should expect to receive a response within the hour, providing, of course, you made contact during regular working hours. The sign of an efficient organisation is rapid response to a general enquiry, which is an indication of what to expect, should you decide to book your car in for a service.
Of course, if you happen to know someone who recommends a local garage, this will save you the trouble of trying to locate one for yourself.
