Don't choose a shop based solely on price. The most inexpensive repair shop might not be the best place to go. At the same time, the most expensive shop (usually the dealership) may not give you the best service or quality.
Don't wait until your car needs major repairs or a tow to find a good mechanic. Bring your car in to the shop for small stuff like oil changes and brake checks to get a feel for the place.
Find out what the shop's hours are. Is the shop available for Taxi Pick UP, near the bus or train?
Ask for a full explanation of what is going to be done to the car.
Check the warranty on the repair work before you leave the car. Six months is great; 90 days is good; 30 days is a little suspect. Find out whether the warranty covers both parts and labor.
Ask whether the shop's mechanics are certified by the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE).
Check whether the shop is accredited by the American Automobile Association (AAA).
Call the Better Business Bureau to check whether the shop has any complaints on file.
