How to Find the Right Local Mechanic

Finding a decent mechanic can be difficult because there are so many choices available. Do you listen to your friend who swears by their mechanic? Or do you use search engines and read reviews? Or maybe you prefer to find a mechanic who specialises in your particular brand of car? Choosing the right auto mechanic service centre for you and your car can be a tough decision. However, using a combination of different methods can help you to find the best mechanic for your needs.

Asking friends and family who live in the local area can be a good first place to start when finding a new mechanic. They may be able to recommend a reputable establishment where you can take your car. Mechanics service cars daily but that doesn’t mean that they are all equally able to satisfy your needs as a car owner. You should use a variety of methods to ensure you will be happy with your choice.

Reading online customer reviews and testimonials will give you a wider range of opinions on local businesses, such as Logan auto service centres and mechanics. These reviews should provide you with a decent overview of customer satisfaction, however when reading these reviews it is important to remember that everybody has different standards and therefore their opinions may be biased.

Affiliations with professional associations such as MTA and RACQ can provide insight into whether an auto mechanic service centre is up to a decent level of standards. These companies regularly check on the business practises and the credentials of the employees that work at the car mechanic service centres.

Lastly, check whether the mechanics have won awards in the past (particularly recently), such as the Quest Business Achiever Awards.

Once you’ve narrowed down your preferences, you need to compare value for money, range of services, customer service and location. You will need to rank these in order of preference because different mechanical centres will have different standards in each of these areas. 

Large, chain service centres will have set costs for different services and products and will have dedicated customer service staff, whereas smaller centres will usually have lower costs and do “package deals” but wont necessarily have a dedicated customer service person in store.
