You need a good mechanic--and fast! Rule number one for finding a good mechanic: don't wait until you're desperate for help. Finding a mechanic you trust is like finding a doctor or a minister--you need to build a relationship based on trust and mutual respect. These things don't happen overnight. Most of the business for a repair garage is from referrals. The only way to get referral business is from satisfied customers. So if you are looking for a new mechanic, ask around. Ask your friends, relatives, business associates, church members--anyone you can think of. You'll probably get a more reliable feel for who's good and who's bad from a consensus of several opinions than from one person.

Is the shop tidy and well organized? Do they have the latest computer equipment? Is there evidence that the mechanics in the shop take regular training courses 1n the latest technology? The days of the mechanic under the hood with a screwdriver, tuning things until they sing just right, are a distant memory. Now, they have to be computer literate technicians, interpreting the communications between the on-board computer system and the diagnostic computers in the shop. Whether you: go to an independent garage, a department store or a franchised repair centre doesn't matter all that much. In the end, it all comes down to trust. You're looking for somebody who is willing to tell you which repairs should be made immediately, which can be delayed without affecting safety and which are completely optional for performance upgrades. A good mechanic will also be fair in charging for time--for example, if he's tracing an electrical fault model of car, he'll reduce the hours. Car Care Canada notes that you can help the mechanic to help you, too. When you take your car in with a problem, tel] the mechanic what the symptoms are (not what you think the problem is). Describe whether it happens when the car is warm or cold, at highway speeds or in the city, stopping or accelerating. Get to know your car, too. Read through the owner's manual so you know what to expect. Turn off your stereo once in a while and listen to the sound of your car when it's healthy, so you're better able to notice when it needs help. And if you're really enthusiastic, sign up for a night course at the high school, or look for a car care clinic at some of your local repair facilities. What you learn could save you quite a few dollars down the road. and it takes longer than it should because At the corner of Hwy. 12 N and Hwy. 7A, Manchester ay (905) 985-848 1 139 Queen St., Port Perry
