Toyota of Orlando's tips for choosing the right mechanic
Tip #1: Ask friends and family who they use.
Why not ask your nearest and dearest who they trust to work on their car? Surveying your friends and family is a great way to get recommendations - either they have a mechanic, or maybe one of them even is a mechanic themselves. Chances are if they trust someone to care for their ride, you will, too.
Tip #2: Do some online research.
You can also put Google to work when looking for your next auto mechanic. Do some research on shops around your home base and look at their websites. Poke through their reviews and customer testimonials, and see what certifications they have as well as which auto services they offer. It's also a good idea to see if their hours are convenient to your schedule, if they're open on weekends, and if they offer any other perks like a shuttle to take you places or rental car assistance (like we do here at Toyota of Orlando).
Tip #3: Look for a make-specific shop
Another easy way to narrow your options is to look for an auto mechanic shop that's specific to your car's make. Plus, you can rest easy leaving your Orlando Toyota there because you know the technicians know the ins and outs of your car. For example, if you visit us at Toyota of Orlando, we'll have a team of Toyota trained techs working on your ride and we'll use Genuine Toyota parts to keep your car a Toyota and give you the dependability that you need.
Tip #4: Take the plunge.
If all else fails (or you really just don't want to do any research), you can just jump in, feet-first. Look for a mechanic that's close to your house or work, or look for a brand name that you recognize. Our Orlando Toyota auto mechanics recommend that you start small with a service like an oil change or a tire rotation. This will let you get to know the techs, see if they're affordable and you like the quality of their work, and if you're comfortable at their shop.
