Are you struggling to find a good mechanic? This blog tells you the important information you need to know on how to find a good mechanic that suits your Automotive needs.
Cars have become complex computerised, self learning complicated electronic machinery. They take skill & expensive machinery to maintain & service.
First step is to get rid of the image of the greasy pot-bellied unshaven bogan in overalls with the filthy greasy rag hanging out of his pocket. That image should have been killed off in the nineties & yet its ironic how many times I speak to people who have this concept & in turn do not become my customers.
The Automotice Doctors
Mechanics are the Automotive industry doctors.
