Alternator replacement and the stuff nobody tells you
But what about the instances when your check engine light goes on or your brakes start squealing? Do your research carefully when looking for a car repair mechanic. Word of mouth is one of the most reliable sources of information, so get referrals from your friends. Once you have obtained testimonials on car repair shops from one or more people, give your local Better Business Bureau a call to see whether any complaints have been lodged against them. If not, you can begin making calls to the car repair shops for information on hourly rates and whether they charge for diagnostics. It would also be a good idea to confirm that these car repair shops guarantee their work and that they use only well maintained, state of the art equipment for their repair work.
