It’s true that the best way to find a new place is through word of mouth. Whether you’re looking for a new restaurant or need a car repair done, your friends, family, and coworkers often have a suggestion that will be much more reliable than a simple Google search. Before you head to a new transmission shop, take time to ask others you know if they’ve also visited that shop and what their experiences were if they have.
An alternative option is to look up reviews online. Read about what others are saying about various transmission shops before you decide to give them your business and trust them with your car. While online reviews can run the gamut no matter the quality of work offered, you can often read between the lines and still gain valuable perspective on what to expect from that auto shop.
Take a few minutes to peruse the transmission shop’s website. In particular, read up on what certifications are required of the mechanics who work there and may end up repairing your car. There are a number of certifying agencies in the US you can check for, including ASE, but also pay attention to their stance on continuing education for their mechanics.
Every AAMCO mechanic is expected and provided the opportunity to keep up with regular continuing education. This ensures we’re always up to date with the latest tools and technology to best diagnose any car problem and carry out any necessary auto repair. The technology used in cars, as well as diagnostic tools, is constantly evolving and we believe continued education about that technology is the best way to keep up in the industry.
It’s fair to bring your car to a shop for an estimate before committing to having any repair carried out by the mechanics there. This allows you to see various different diagnoses and possible costs before making a decision. Even if you stick with the first shop you visit, pay attention to their process for offering an estimate of what’s required and how much it will cost you.
You may be tempted to go with the most affordable option and we can’t fault you for that. Each individual’s budget matters and car repairs in particular can be especially stressful and expensive. However, you also pay for what you get. With the cheapest options, you also risk losing out on quality of service and/or parts used. It’s also possible that your auto shop will offer financing options, such as AAMCO Utah’s no credit financing .
Another decision-maker may be which services are offered complimentary versus having to pay. Many auto shops charge just for the initial inspection and diagnosis, which can drive up the overall cost of your car repair service. It can be frustrating to pay even a hundred or two just to know what your car repair may be.
If you’re always bothered by mechanics charging an arm and a leg just to take a look at your car, you’re in luck with AAMCO. We offer courtesy checks on any and all essential systems in your car, meaning you won’t have to pay anything until you decide we should be the ones to carry out the necessary repair. Plus, if you aren’t able to drive your car to one of our auto shops, we also offer a free towing service to get you to your nearest location safely.
We value trust, honesty, and transparency above all and that means we put our customers’ experiences first. From courtesy checks to free towing and an open, honest estimate and repair process , you can rest assured that you aren’t getting the wool pulled over your eyes when you bring your car to any of our local AAMCO Utah shops.
