Finding a stand-out mechanic is tough. Many people have trouble finding a mechanic to trust with their car, time after time. How can you avoid going to another mechanic that just won’t cut it? There are a few key things that set great mechanics apart from the rest. Try asking these five questions the next time you decide to give a new mechanic a shot, including if you come to the mechanics at one of your local AAMCO Utah locations.
The best way to tell how knowledgeable and up to date your mechanic is, is by asking about their certifications and ongoing education. Car parts and systems, as well as diagnostic tools, are changing all the time. There are over 100 different types of transmissions out there and that’s just one example of a system in your car that may need repairs. You want to go to a mechanic who keeps up with the latest knowledge and tools to accurately diagnose any car problem and carry out any necessary car repair.
Our transmission experts can only stay experts if they keep up with each new transmission coming into production. Shops in our network employ experienced, ASE certified professionals, which means, you can trust them with any auto repair needs you may have.
Don’t feel bad asking about services your mechanic may offer free of charge. Auto repair services are expensive, and it counts when a mechanic is able to offer complementary services to help ease the stress of bringing your car to an auto repair shop. Whether your mechanic offers free diagnostics or a complimentary tow service, it can make a big difference.
At AAMCO, you won’t have to pay just to find out what’s wrong with your car – even if you aren’t able to drive your car to one of our shops. If you’re stranded, give your nearest participating AAMCO location a call to set up free towing, then let our mechanics run free diagnostics to figure out any auto repairs you need.
There’s no better assurance that you can trust your mechanic and the parts they’re using than a parts and labor warranty. This shows that they’re confident in the parts they use, as well as their capability to accurately diagnose and repair any car problem. Ask your mechanic what type of warranties they offer and take that into consideration when deciding where to bring your car. It may not be a deal breaker, but it can say a lot about your mechanic.
No matter which AAMCO location you visit, most services come with a nationwide warranty. That means that if you run into trouble as a result of that service or repair, no matter where you are, you can find the nearest AAMCO location and have it fixed.
Depending on what car repair you need, it can be stressful just getting your car to the shop. That’s why it can help to ask whether your mechanic offers any services that can help get your car safely to their auto repair shop. Paying to have your car towed can be expensive and driving it yourself may risk causing a more serious car problem. Great mechanics understand how stressful this can be for their customers and offer services to help, whether that’s a towing service, loaner cars, or paying for a ride to get you to work after dropping off your car.
If you’re unable to drive your car or worry it will cause more damage, don’t risk it! Your nearest participating AAMCO location will set up a free tow to the auto repair shop so that you don’t have to pay out of pocket just to get there safely.
It helps to ask what to expect whenever you bring your car to a mechanic, especially if it’s an auto shop you’ve never used before. This will help you understand their processes and whether or not they’re a good fit for you. Some mechanics will take photos of the parts taken out and put into your car and include them in a report, and all mechanics should be happy to answer any questions and provide any explanations you want. Transparency during the process of diagnosing and repairing your car’s problem shows that your mechanic finds value in their relationship with you as a customer.
Every time you visit an AAMCO location, you’ll feel valued as a customer. We pride ourselves on excellent service that’s both customer friendly and efficient at carrying out repairs. It’s important to us to build trust with everyone who walks into our auto repair shops.
If you’re looking for a new mechanic, give AAMCO a try. Our mechanics are happy to help answer questions, carry out car maintenance, diagnose a car problem, or complete a car repair service. Whatever your car needs, we’re here to help.
