HOW DO I FIND A GOOD AUTO REPAIR SHOP in Raleigh, NC?
WHAT DO I LOOK FOR IN A AUTOMOTIVE REPAIR SHOP?
Before we start, I want to emphasize that the question “How do I find a good Automotive repair Shop” by saying that it is a very common question.
Do I go by referrals? Do I go by Angie’s list? Do I look up a company’s reviews on line? Do I check BBB?

First let’s start by saying when you “need” an auto shop it is already probably too late to then start looking. Chances are, you will probably be more apt to settle for a lesser auto repair shop based on their immediate location and not on their performance.
For something simple like an oil change this is typically not a problem. Oil changes are a great way to get to know how a shop is run.
It is always wise to do research on a automotive repair shop before using them for an extensive repair. Such as engine work or replacement, brake service, etc…
Choosing which company you are going to trust with your Automobile service is important.
So let me share our experience with you, to make sure your research is the bests it can be.
Looking up reviews.
It is very typical that if a customer is happy with an auto repair shop, they are not as likely to post a review. If a customer is upset he or she will typically post a negative review.

We have seen an upset customer post multiple reviews using different login information. You can usually spot these by seeing that there were 3 post all negative and all within one hour.
Sometimes you will find that once you hear both sides of the story and get to the real truth of what occurred you will find that the review is incorrect. There is definitely 2 sides to every story and when posting a review the customer may leave out some very important detail of a situation. At Majestic car care center we service close to 100 customers a month. Like all automotive repairs shops if they are handling a hundred customers a week and have been doing so for years and only have a few negative reviews and each one is different, then chance are you have found a very reliable shop. One other concern about reviews. You need to know who owned or operated the shop at the time of the review. In our case any negative reviews were before our current owner. In general you need to make sure that the reviews match who is currently operating the automotive repair shop.
• The next step would be calling (us) first and asking questions. If you know the problem with your car, getting an estimate over the phone first is always a good idea.
• Looking on the Auto repair shops’ web site to see if they are currently offering a coupon or discount. May save you some money.
• Make sure the auto repair shop that you are considering offers the type of work you are looking for.

Remember, consider the long-term cost when choosing an automotive repair shop. Don’t sell yourself short for a few bucks. Quality repair is not expensive … it’s PRICELESS!
A final note about auto repair s’ shop size. Some people think that the cost of repair directly relates to the size of the shop (a large shop or dealership is probably more expensive).
These days, with the high cost of equipment, training, and information systems, can make any shop too expensive or inexpensive.
I have found the larger entities, such as the dealers and larger repair facilities, have a higher per hour rate for their mechanics. If a service facilities meets the criteria I discussed (and the quality of the parts and warranties are similar) you will find prices may vary, regardless of size.
So your decision at this point is a matter of whom you feel most comfortable dealing with.
Don’t trust your automobile (which carries your family), to just anyone. Make sure you use Majestic car care center or a auto repair shop that cares as much for your safety as we do. A well maintained vehicle is a safer one for you and your family.

Referrals are a great way to find a good auto shop . This is Majestic car cares’ most productive way of getting new customers. If you ask anyone who has been here since our new ownership you will find that they would highly recommend us.
Angie’s list,
Although Angie’s list can get rid of a good portion of the bad apples it doesn’t mean that the shops they recommend could be any better than finding one on your own. Without the cost of joining Angie’s list.
Understanding reviews is important.
