3 Tips for a Good Auto Mechanic in San Diego

I've put together a list of 6 tips that will help you find someone that you can trust to keep your automobile in good running order.

1. Look For auto repair shops that display the ASE Certified logo. ASE stands for Automotive Service Excellence. Having an ASE designation is just about important as having the letters "MD." after your doctor's name. Now don't get me wrong, there are decent mechanics who aren't ASE certified, but generally it's too risky unless they have been referred by someone you trust. Another important industry designation to look for is NAPA Auto Care.

2. Ask Your Friends or Co-Workers Where They Take Their Vehicle. Word of mouth recommendations are worth their weight in gold.

3. Shop for features and benefits of a San Diego auto shop. Just because a facility may charge a little more than others, might mean that they offer a longer warranty period, free emergency towing, courtesy shuttle service, or extended hours for convenience. Price is not always the best method of decision making.
