Frequently Asked Questions
How much does auto repair cost?
Average auto repairs cost $85. Basic maintenance (oil change, brakes) runs $100-$500. Major repairs (engine, transmission) cost $1,000-$5,000+. Dealerships charge 20-30% more than independent shops but offer specialized expertise.
How do I know if a repair estimate is fair?
Get 2-3 written estimates from different shops. Research typical costs online (RepairPal, AAA). Verify diagnosis independently. Beware of significantly low estimates (may use inferior parts) or high-pressure tactics. Trust mechanics with ASE certification.
Should I use OEM or aftermarket parts?
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts ensure perfect fit and warranty compliance but cost more. Quality aftermarket parts save 30-50% and work well for older vehicles. Avoid cheap aftermarket parts for critical systems (brakes, airbags).
What maintenance should I never skip?
Oil changes (every 5,000-7,500 miles), tire rotations (every 6,000-8,000 miles), brake inspections (annually), fluid checks (coolant, transmission, brake), and timing belt replacement (per manufacturer schedule). Preventive maintenance prevents expensive failures.
When should I take my car to a specialist vs general mechanic?
Use specialists for: complex diagnostics, transmission rebuilds, electrical issues, or luxury/import brands. General mechanics handle: routine maintenance, brakes, exhaust, suspension. Dealerships for: warranty work, recalls, or brand-specific issues.
