Accidents happen to the best of us, and we all know that wading through the procedures to fix a car after it happens can be as big of a headache as getting into the accident in the first place. Finding the right car repair shop can be a heart-wrenching experience, especially with this particular line of work having been known as fraudulent, untrustworthy, or accustomed to cheating customers out of their hard earned money. Your car is safe and work will be done right with SUPERIOR AUTO BODY!
Although people focus on the horror stories that arise from these scamming auto body shops, there are plenty of genuine, professional, and honest car repair shops that strive to put their work and their customers as a first priority.
But how do you find these gems? It’s not impossible and it just takes learning about a few tips:
Do Your Research
The Internet is a marvelous entity. A quick Google search will tell you all you need to know about the auto repair shops in your area. Google star-ratings are a great tool to analyze what kind of experience previous customers had at local shops and almost always provide an accurate overview of what the shop is like. Many Google reviews offer specifics about experiences at the business, too. Sure, some people will have a negative experience no matter what, but if the shop has a hundred reviews, that’s a lot of feedback to base your selection off of
Ask Around About Our Car Repair Shop!
Word-of-mouth is undoubtedly a powerful tool, and you shouldn’t shrug off recommendations from neighbors, family, friends, and coworkers. The same goes for a shop that is not known to cater to its customer and produces shoddy work. Either way, you’ll know from anyone with extremely good or bad experience what auto repair shops to avoid and what ones to engage in business with. The good work done in an auto body shop will undoubtedly make its way across town through the gossip grapevine.
Scout the Shop Out
Is the shop dirty? Is it empty and unclean? Are there junky cars cluttering up the lot? Then maybe move your search along to the next place. You don’t have to choose a high-end dealership by any means, but any upstanding business will show pride in itself. An empty shop with no other cars or customers insight may be a surefire sign that people are avoiding it. Yes, car repair shops are going to be oily, greasy, and a little messy, but there’s a difference between this normalcy and a shop that simply does not care. Feel free to contact us and come to check out our shop anytime!
Get Multiple Estimates
By hitting the ground and collecting several estimates, you can determine which shop is outrageous in their pricing and weigh it against how the others come across. Pricing is important, but so is customer care, the environment of the shop, and how professional the staff and technicians are. Grab a notebook and jot down the pros and cons of each visit and you’ll soon find your match made in car repair heaven.
