It is always advisable to use a garage that comes with a good reputation and quality customer service. You will be able to rely on them to do what is right for your car and to leave it in good condition. Unfortunately, there are many mechanics around who are not especially reliable and who will not necessarily do the right job for you.

At the same time, don’t necessarily just go for the garage with the highest price tag. They may be a specialist dealer for an expensive brand of car, like Bentley or Audi, in which case they will charge higher prices for the privilege of using their services. If you do need to use an approved garage though, make sure they have the competency you require.

Look at reviews of the garage and make sure they deliver good work that people have been pleased with. Ask around for recommendations as well.
