Working as I do, in an Auto Repair Facility, I have learned the true value of service. I never questioned my trusted Mechanics growing up. My father taught me how to work on cars, so if I couldn’t do it, someone else had to. However, I never knew the true depth of the work until now.
Inflation is at an all-time high, the cost of vehicles, even used inventory, is incredible. Maintaining the vehicle you have is the most effective solution to that dilemma. Having a trusted Auto Repair Shop is a priceless commodity. Knowing the price of eggs is equal to a gallon of milk now, one should know vehicle repair is going to be higher than it was 3 years ago. That being said, the value is in the value.
Does your Auto Repair Shop provide a warranty? What is the warranty and what does it cover?
Do they provide you with a Free Courtesy Loaner Vehicle? Transparency? And Digital Vehicle Inspections?
True value lies in the Warranty, transparency, convenience, and perks therein. In my experience, Auto Repairs can take time. Parts availability, difficulty of job, having a Courtesy Loaner Vehicle is worth everything! Not having to worry about how to get to work while my Mechanic makes magic is worth more on the bottom line to me.
So, if you have a trusted Auto Repair Shop and they take good care of you and your car, give you the extras and cost more than some. Be glad to pay for it, there is a huge amount of security in that.
