How to choose the right car service?

A car service is a place where you take or drop off your car for maintenance, repairs and other work related to keeping the car in good technical condition. It sounds like a definition, but this time we want to brag a bit about the GT Garage car service and talk about what a good service is and how to choose a place to repair your diaper.

• In what cases is it necessary to go to the car service?
• How to find a professional car service?
• How do you know that you are not being scammed if you are a new customer in an unknown service?
• What is recommended not to do when visiting a car service?

A service visit would be required on average after 10,000 kilometers driven. After about this distance, the car should change the oil, air filters, fuel and oil filters. It is also necessary to carry out general diagnostics of the car to make sure that there are no problems that could endanger road traffic. This would be alphabetical, but drivers are not always so conscientious and do it. If the car is not serviced on time, there is a high risk that the car will need more repairs than the scheduled basic maintenance.

Our recommendation is to drive to a car service after the mileage recommended by the manufacturer and avoid unnecessary expenses.

Car service – Another popular factor when a visit to a car service is necessary is the defects of the running gear. For those who traveled on the roads of Latvia, we think that explanations are unnecessary. The condition of the roads is bad and it is definitely not good for the car.

If we feel a vibration in the steering wheel when braking or hear unusual sounds, a clatter from under the car – we go to the service, do not wait for the right moment, because there is a great risk of being left on the side of the road or even worse – causing a traffic accident.

Car service – The third factor is the engine and related parts and mechanisms. As we already know, today car manufacturers expect that you will be able to drive up to 100,000 km without problems, of course, it depends on the car’s operation. After this distance, it is necessary to carry out a full diagnostics of the car in order to confirm the condition and problem of a specific part, or in case of wear, to replace it in time. That way, you wouldn’t have to spend huge money later on changing the engine or even changing the car.

How to choose the right car service?

This stage will certainly not be the easiest, of course, if you have not already found our service GT Garage, which is one of the most professional services with affordable prices and a friendly attitude towards its customers.

Let’s take a global look at this question.
If there are problems with the car, as we mentioned above, you should go to a car service. Primarily, you can search for a service based on the recommendations of acquaintances or friends. Ask about their experience in the service centers where they have repaired the car and evaluate the choice based on the recommendation. If you have no acquaintances who have a car or no acquaintances and friends at all, then you definitely have a smart device with internet and google.

Search for car repair shops by keywords entered in Google: car service, good car service, honest car service or specific phrases like: engine repair, undercarriage repair, car painting. The results provided by google will be quite a lot, but we cannot say whether the first link in the search results will be the right one.

Today, hundreds of auto repair shops are advertised on Google , and hundreds more can be found in organic search results. If we have found a favorite, then we are interested by entering reviews and other people’s opinions about the service there, even on Google. It must be said that reviews, both bad and good, are not always objective, but it will help you make a decision. Let’s be honest – we’ve also had some bad reviews, but what company doesn’t have them? :))

How do you know that you are not being scammed if you are a new customer in an unknown service?
It will be more difficult to discover this nuance, but it will not be impossible either. The biggest question is, if a part is changed, is it really being changed, and how do you know if it’s not put on used or refurbished? If you are not an expert in the technical condition and repair of the car, then we recommend that after receiving the car from the service, you request a list of the work performed and a list of the parts that have been replaced. Of course, if the car roars and drives and the problems have been fixed, it would be pointless to argue and ask if you really installed the parts you promised? You have the opportunity to go to an independent service and carry out car diagnostics after visiting a foreign service.

GT garage also offers such a service. If you do not feel safe and suspect that the repair was fraudulent and you were charged too much, we will check the condition of the replaced parts and the quality of the repair. Contact us

What is recommended not to do when visiting a car service?
Let’s take a simple example with a patient and a doctor. When you go to a doctor without a medical education, you definitely trust a specialist. But of course, there are cases when the patient wants to treat himself and goes to the doctor to challenge his decisions.

You might be right in some cases, but it would be 1 in 1000 cases.

It is the same with the car service – if you are not a mechanic or have the appropriate education, do not try to teach the employees of the car service, of course, this does not prevent you from engaging in discussions, asking about the reason for the problem and asking what exactly the service will do to eliminate the problem.
