What to check before hiring a auto mechanics

Service your car at the manufacturer's recommended intervals to avoid costly breakdowns.
Keep your service book up to date — it increases the car's resale value and shows the repair history.
Always ask for a price estimate before approving the work, with materials and labor listed separately.
Don't ignore dashboard warning lights — early diagnosis is much cheaper than repairing major damage.
Regularly check oil level, brake fluid, and coolant — 2 minutes of checking can prevent serious damage.
When buying a second-hand car, have it inspected by a trusted mechanic before finalizing the transaction.
Ask the mechanic to show you the replaced parts and explain the problem — an honest mechanic does this without hesitation.
If your car has special technical specifications or is a rare model, look for a mechanic experienced with that brand.
