THE EXTRA MILE
FINDING AN AUTO REPAIR SHOP
From first-time drivers to DIY enthusiasts, everyone will
need an auto repair shop they trust for maintenance
or repair. The Car Care Council recommends asking a
few simple questions when selecting a repair shop.
DOES THE BUSINESS EMPLOY
ASE CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS?
Credentials and affiliations with the
National Institute for Automotive
Service Excellence (ASE) are
indicators of professionalism and
the management's commitment
to training and education.
IS THE SHOP AND CUSTOMER
WAITING AREA CLEAN
AND ORGANIZED?
Cleanliness and organization are
signs of a well-run business.

ARE CUSTOMERS GREETED
AND TREATED IN A FRIENDLY
AND RESPECTFUL MANNER?
Many auto repair businesses excel
in the area of customer service and
satisfaction. A simple phone call
to the shop to inquire about their
services can give you a glimpse
of how they treat customers.
DOES THE BUSINESS PROVIDE
A WRITTEN ESTIMATE?
The business should complete
a written estimate and request
your signature prior to starting
any repairs on your car.
