Resources for finding reputable mechanics
One of the best ways to find a reputable mechanic is through owners' clubs or enthusiasts websites. Just type the name of your car manufacturer and "owners club" into Google, and you will almost certainly find one.
In many cases, the website in question will have a specific section which either recommends or warns against certain garages. If not, there are forums where this sort of information can be obtained.
Typically, the garages mentioned are specialists in that make of car. This has 2 main benefits:
1. The mechanics will likely have encountered many of the problems associated with your car before, and will know the best way to fix it.
2. They tend to be much less expensive than main dealers, who will very often charge ridiculous labour rates.
