Owning and driving a vehicle can be a real asset especially if you happen to live in the countryside where public transport is at a minimum but if the vehicle starts to have issues or even breaks down it can be a nightmare finding a reliable garage to carry out servicing and repairs.

One look online will show numerous car garages in any locality but which garage to choose is the problem especially if your own knowledge of vehicle repairs is limited and so you are relying on the expertise of the mechanic. It is advisable to look at reviews of garages before committing to using them as these will give you an indication of their customer service.

If there are friends or family members that have used a local garage for their vehicle repairs recently it is a good idea to ask their opinion of the service they received as you can be assured that they will be honest.

It is important to note that looking after your vehicle by having it serviced regularly at a garage and keeping it in the garage at your property overnight if possible will help to avoid costly call out fees and keep the vehicle running well throughout the year.
