4. Do you provide a warranty for parts and services?
Most reputable mechanics have some guarantees on parts and service just in case something happens. It might be a timeframe from when the part was installed or it might be a mileage type of warranty. You should be asking these questions before you decide on any mechanic for the job.
5. How long have you been in business?
Simply put, good mechanics have experience. Asking a mechanic how long they have been in business will be a very easy way to tell if they have experience. These days, checking online reviews is another great way to tell if a mechanic has a good reputation over the course of their business.
6. Will you explain to me the details of the necessary repairs?
I know this seems like an odd question but some bad mechanics will “over-explain” what they need to do in order to make it seem like you owe them more. A good and honest mechanic or shop will lay out what needs to be done to your vehicle simply and in plain terms. It is also important to get a detailed invoice of all the services that were provided in case you need to use the warranty discussed earlier.
7. Will I be able to choose what car parts are used for the repair?
All dependent on what needs to be done to fix your vehicle but a lot of times, there are cheaper ways to fix your vehicle by choosing used parts vs. OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts. Used parts are a great way to save some money. If you are getting your vehicle repaired at R.H. Willson, our new and used auto parts come with a warranty so you never have to worry.
