13 + Things Your Car Mechanic Wont Tell You.

16. Be careful with “road hazard” warranties on tires.

“The shops may give you a free tire here and there, but eventually they will soak you with unnecessary alignments or suspension replacements

17. All brakes are not equal.

“Ask for estimates on brake jobs. Many mechanics will use very cheap parts and mark them up. Good mechanics who understand cars will never skimp in this area.”

 

 

Yes !!!!  do you konw that you can get a rotar for 8$ made in china ? it wont even come with name of manufacturer !! but this rotor will last for 3 to 4 months in summer and 3 months in winter...

 

Nenu aa 8$ rotors chusanu on a family van.. baaga tuppu pattipoyi vunnai 5 months lone ..

 

 

Purchase products from Rockauto.com if you want to save some price and have some fine quality..

 

For example : A  standard break pad can come for 20$ for regular honda accord vehicle and a rotor around 35$ each.

 

Dealer products can cost much high since they are genuine  manufacturer products. While the products I suggest are rebuilt products which are built from old worned out products someone returned

18. Have your car test-driven.

“A good test-drive is just as important as a regular service — it might mean the difference between simply needing brake pads and having a complete rotor replacement.”

[kakatiya]

19. Find expert mechanics.

“Good mechanics, like good customers, are hard to find— communication is key. A good mechanic will explain repair phases and give you choices.”

20. Be wary of certified pre-owned cars.

 

EE Db lo rojuki 10 posts padthai... certified bmw car 38k dhi 23k ke istunnadu.. adhi certify and warranty kooda vundhi ani..

 

read below brahma vakku

 

 

 

“Usually in this business the only thing that’s certified is that someone owned the car before you. Very little ever gets done on these types of cars.”

21. Go early in the work week.

“Don’t bring your car in on Friday afternoon because the mechanics might rush the job to get out for the weekend.”

 

[kakatiya]

22. Don't make a rookie mistake.

“Beware of a mechanic who shows you a transmission pan with metal particles in it and recommends a major job. The shavings are usually a sign of normal wear."

 

 

[kakatiya]

23. Familiarize yourself with tire tread.

“Before buying new tires, know what your state’s tread specifications are. Then have the mechanic measure the old tread with a gauge.”

 

 

go to certified tire centers like costco and sears as i told earlier

24. Beware of false promises.

“Watch out for ads promising $100 brake jobs. No mechanic can make money on that.”

 

 

I already expl;ained that.

[kakatiya]

25. Weed out scams.

"Transmission flushes are one of the biggest scams going. Manufacturers don’t recommend them, and your car almost never needs one.”

 

 

 

Well partially true.. but if your car is 130k miles please atleast take out the transmission kit.. clean the magnet and keep the new kit... it is worth to change a tranmission fluid if you want to run car after 130k miles..
