The way to find a fine automobile mechanic is to search way ahead before the time comes when you will need one.

The auto repair experts are widely trained in electronics, and they really know how to apply this information and training to identify problems in the engine, ignition system, electrical and fuel injection, differential, power train, transmission, lubing system, wheel suspension, front axle, steering system and brake system.

Car dealerships often have a so-called secret warranty agreement with the manufacturer. Covered by these secret warranties are manufacturer's payment to the dealership for fixing problems detected in particular types and models after purchase, regardless if the car is outside of warranty. However, car dealership service departments seldom reveal this to customers. If something goes bad with your vehicle, inquire from the dealership regarding a policy adjustment that is available for your specific type of vehicle. So, if your vehicle is still under warranty, your first choice for regular maintenance and repairs must be a dealership, while not necessarily the exact place from which you purchased the car.

Car service stations and car repair shops are commonly owned or managed by self-employed technicians and mechanics. These auto technicians may or may not have all the tools and machinery found in a car dealership service department.

Even so, a lot of these car mechanics are superb generalists, and they frequently charge much less as compared to a dealership service department for out-of-warranty fixes.

Specialty auto repair shops are essentially shops that perform a specialized type of repair, such as change of oil or other lubrication, brake service, or a limited array of repairs. It is possible to get fast and competitively priced service in shops such as these, but they specialize frequently on replacement rather than repair.

Mall auto service departments are more often connected with a mass selling outlet, such as Sears. Replacement parts in shops like these are often discounted and the technicians are generally well-trained. However, they specialize on quick services.

It would be also good to list down names and contact numbers of auto repair technicians from recommendations of friends and colleagues. Local car club members and car collectors are also great source of contacts.
