Gone are the days when word of mouth was the best way to find an auto repair shop. In today's world of technological advancement, a few mouse clicks or touchscreen taps will definitely get you the right one. Here are a few tips on how to find the perfect mechanic for your car.
You can visit Yelp, a site that connects people with great business, to find the ideal auto repairer you have been looking for. It has auto repair reviews and it is free to use with mobile version and apps for Android and Apple mobile devices. In order to get the best result, you can type "auto repair" into the search box with your Zip code. In addition, you can sift the results based on distance, highest rated and most reviewed.
Angie's list is also worth looking at because of the careful vetting in its review process and it covers almost everything from automotive to wedding planning. However, the Angie's list has a small number of reviews which can be a plus or a minus for its users. It is not easy to falsify reviews because the site requires a paid membership to access and post review. On the other hand, it will be difficult to have great sensation for a store with few feedbacks.
Furthermore, conducting a simple search on Google will definitely produce the greatest number of result. But in order to get the best result, you can narrow down the search by typing "auto repair near me" into the search box. Take note that the sponsored adverts should be treated as such and should not be regarded as recommendations from Google since it ranks websites according to its laid down rules.
You can also visit Edmunds auto repair shop directory for a comprehensive list of repair shops. There is also the dealer locator on Edmunds for those searching for dealership service facility instead of an independent shop. The Edmunds moderators are used to monitoring the reviews properly so that it will not be manipulated.
Moreover, you can pop in on Yellowpages and Citysearch because their reviews are not that bad, even though they might not be many. Enthusiast message boards that are dedicated to a particular car model habitually have forum threads where members can chat about local dealerships and independent repair shops. Forum members share their experiences and give recommendations where necessary. However, you should apply the same filtering that you use when you are on Yelp.
