Auto Service

Overview

Your vehicle is one of the most important aspects of your life. It commutes you to work, school, play and running errands  all over town. When you vehicle has an issue the best place to take it is to your local auto repair shop.

Your local auto service shops main role is to diagnose and correct the problem accurately and quickly. They often quote prices for their customers before commencing work or after partial disassembly for inspection. Their job may involve the repair of a specific part or the replacement of one or more parts in the assembly.

Basic vehicle maintenance is a fundamental part of auto service shops. Preventative maintenance is also a fundamental part of auto service shops, but this is not possible in the case of vehicles that are not regularly maintained by a mechanic.

With the rapid advancement in technology, the auto service shop has evolved from purely mechanical, to include electronic technology. Because vehicles today possess complex computer and electronic systems, auto service shops need to have a broader base of knowledge than in the past.

Average Costs

The national average cost of auto service is $150 – $500+

The average cost to hire a local professional will average about $150-$200, with some consumers spending over $500 or more. So choosing the right professional the first time is of the essence.

The average cost to hire a local professional can vary widely depending on the work that needs to be performed, they region in which you are located and how fast you need the project completed. So choosing the right professional the first time is of the essence.

Billing:

Hourly Rate – Some companies charge by the hour.

Flat Rate Per Job –  Some companies charge a flat rate for the work they do.

Recognize that there are several variables in developing the price. These include:

  • Time that it takes to complete the project.
  • How many technicians are working on your project.
  • Was it an after hours emergency
  • With many more aspects that may add to the cost

Tips & Advice

  • Ask For The License – Ask for all local and state business licenses.
  • Proof Of Insurance– For your own protection, check proof of both workman’s compensation and  liability Insurance.
  • Business Stability– Find out how long the company has been in business.
  • Check Online Reviews – You’re probably not the first person in town looking for their services. Rely on the internet to get reviews written by people in your community.
  • References – Expect any top-notch company to be able to provide you with references upon request. Once you have these names, contact the clients to get information about the quality service. When you call, ask questions about the work, timeliness, cost and whether the clients would use the company again for future work.
  • 24-hour Emergency Service – Make sure your local company offers emergency 24 hour service. If something goes wrong, it’s good to know that you will not have to wait days for them to come  out and fix it.
  • Over The Phone Pricing –  Honest estimates simply cannot be given over the phone – especially if you aren’t talking with an actual technician when you call.
  • Free Estimates – Most companies offer free estimates. This is important because they can provide you with the costs upfront, so that you are not shocked with a bill after the services are completed.
  • Safety Record – Safety can be a significant factor, so ask the company about their safety records to ensure that any service professional you hire has a satisfactory safety record. You want a company that doesn’t have a high incidence of on-the-job mishaps or injuries.
  • Satisfaction Guarantee – Choosing a company that offers a satisfaction guarantee will ensure that they will get the job done right the first time and will save you money and frustration in the long run.
  • Cleanup – The mess left behind after a project can be major. Ask what cleanup work the company includes with it’s services.
