A Shout Out to Teens Wear a Seatbelt to Enjoy Secure Driving.
THERE are many choices as to where consumers can take their car when it’s in need of maintenance or repair. Those include going to the car dealer, or an independent mechanic at a service station. Where you should go depends on what type of repair your car needs and its age and condition.
But in most cases, mechanics in each type of repair shop may try to convince you that they are the best ones for the job. As we are heading for holiday and festive season, the quality and safety of your car should be a paramount, as many of you will be heading upcountry to celebrate with your families.
Repair work under factory warranty should go to the dealer, that is where you will find mechanics that are trained to fix, which problems that pop up with new car models, says William Day, Carmudi East Africa Managing Director.
Before leaving your car at an independent automotive shop (or any repair facility), find out if the mechanic working on your car is certified on the component or system that needs fixing (Although at times that is hard to find in developing economies like ours). Don’t let some mediocre mechanic work on your car that is not certified or qualified on that particular repair area. He could do more harm than good.
Chain and some garages in town often advertise free services for routine services like oil changes or tune-ups, but beware if their mechanic insists that your car needs major repairs after he inspects it. Get a second opinion to confirm it isn’t a ploy to get you to spend more money, Adds Mr. William Day.
Carmudi, the leading online Cars Market place insists that these facilities must meet rigorous standards and guarantee their work for all customers, and getting a second opinion is a must for major repairs, since it’s a competitive business and prices can be all over the map.
