Pro Tips In Choosing The Best Auto Repair Shop In Australia

 

 

Australia has a vast network of independent auto service, repair, and modification shops. The Australian Automotive Aftermarket Association (AAAA) claimed that over 17 million vehicles are maintained by 30,000 independent automotive workshops and 150,000 automotive technicians.

With so many repair shops to choose from, it cannot be easy to know which one will best meet your needs.

 

"An overwhelming 86% of 1,500 car owners prefer more dependable and efficient automotive servicing and repair options," says Isaac Lynes—resource person for expert car reviews, ratings, and news at Green Vehicle Guides.

 

Here are some pro tips to help you select the best auto repair shop in your area.

 

1. Ask For Recommendations

 

Family, friends and even your trusted mechanic referrals can help you find the best repair shop for your needs. Recommendations from friends continue to be the most credible form of validation among consumers. People are four times more likely to purchase services from recommended businesses.

 

2. Search And Check Online Reviews

 

Google can provide a lot of information about the best mechanic near you. Once you've narrowed down your best repair shop candidates, conduct a background check on them. Customer reviews are pieces of feedback given to a company based on customers' expectations and experiences.

 

3. Compare Auto Repair Prices

 

Each shop has its own set of prices. According to AutoGuru, "the average car service cost in Australia is around $245 for a minor service and $386 for logbook service. However, the cost is influenced by the car's make and model, the mechanic, and the type of service."

 

When the new Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC)-backed legislation takes effect on July 1, 2022, customers can expect some service costs to fall.

 

4. Check The Shop Location

 

One of the most important considerations when choosing an auto repair shop is its location. Finding the right balance of affordable, friendly, and quality service in a convenient location can save you time and effort. As a result, it's critical to use the resources available to you to understand the shop.

 

5. Ask For The License And Certification

An automotive repair business must be a certified repairer or employ an accredited repairer to supervise repairs for each class of repair work performed. It is important to note that having a registered license will instil confidence in customers and legitimise the business.
