Car repairs can be expensive. The average yearly cost of auto repairs, according to one study, is now $3,269. This covers all types of cars for things like routine maintenance, service station repairs and body shop work. That comes out to $272 a month! Your car is your second biggest expense, and getting your car fixed can be even more expensive in the hands of the wrong mechanics. Pretty much everyone knows someone with an auto repair rip off story. You take your car in to be checked out, and suddenly you’re given an estimate for hundreds of dollars of work you didn’t know you needed. This is usually done under the guise of preventative maintenance. Dishonest garages take advantage of the fact that we don’t know anything about the cars we drive to overcharge us by hundreds of dollars on repairs we don’t need and can’t afford.

Chances are you’ll have your vehicle for a number of years, and in that time it will need to be worked on several times. But how do you find an honest mechanic in the Chicago area…..Someone who will diagnose your car’s problems accurately and charge you a reasonable amount for the repair?
