Why do car issues come at the most inconvenient time? These kinds of problems never arise when we have plenty of money in our accounts. It’s usually when we’re low on funds that our cars suddenly need some much-needed repairs. So, when we see a garage or mechanic offering to complete a wide range of repairs for an incredibly low price, it seems like all our prayers have been answered.
However, when it comes to car repairs if something seems too good to be true, it probably is. And if there’s one thing you shouldn’t consider doing on the cheap, it’s car repairs. But, why should you be wary of getting your car repaired too cheaply? Read on to find out more.
They may not have the right qualifications
If a price is incredibly cheap compared to other repair shops in the area, ask yourself why. Could it be that the person who is willing to take on the repairs isn’t as qualified as the others? Are they up to date with the latest in industry techniques, equipment, and legislation? Or are they just tinkering around with cars for fun? The cheap quote you’ve been given could be the result of someone not having full knowledge of the automotive industry and as a result, you could be putting your life at risk!
Cheap or dodgy parts
If your car needs replacement parts, anything from bulbs to car filters, spark plugs to brake pads, then you need to be aware of the quality of these replacement parts. If your quote is cheap, even if you need new parts, then that’s a red warning flag. You don’t have to have high end or branded replacement parts
