Questions to Ask Your Denver Auto Repair Shop

When you are looking for a Denver or Littleton car repair or brake repair shop, here are some important questions you should ask of any shop you are considering.

1. Does the car repair shop you are considering have "trained" technicians?

Always look for a Denver car repair shop that has service personnel who have previously worked at dealerships or dealer repair shops. Make sure the shop has a core staff of experienced people who have been doing car repair for at least 15 years.

2. Is it important that the technicians have formal certificates showing their qualifications?

Yes it is important that technicians have had formal training because this indicates they are serious about advancing their understanding of current technologies. Always look for certificates displayed in their service area along with A.S.E. (Automotive Service Excellence) awards. In Colorado it is also important to have IM240 Clean Air Colorado certificates for repairs on emission systems.

3. Will your factory or extended warranties be voided if you use this auto repair shop?

Generally your warranties require you to keep your vehicle maintained according to the manufacturer's maintenance schedule. It is not necessary to use a dealer for this, although it is important to use a competent and licensed repair shop. Most competent auto repair shops can do regular maintenance work without having an effect on your warranty.

4. Does this shop require you to make an appointment?

Most car repair shops require you to make an appointment to have servicing done. As with most services, this makes scheduling and staffing possible, and ensures you will have your vehicle in the service shop for the shortest possible time. Many shops will make an exception for emergency work.

5. Does this shop let you book a service appointment online?

As time goes by booking online is becoming more and more common. Online booking gives you the ability to book an appointment at any time of the day or night, without having to talk to anyone. This is convenient both for you and for the repair shop.

6. Does this repair shop provide transportation?

Getting to and from the repair shop to drop off and pick up your vehicle can be a major inconvenience. So it is very handy when your repair shop provides a shuttle service to take you where you need to go. There is at least one Denver repair shop that provides a rental car at no charge for some repairs.

7. Will this repair shop do a free inspection of your vehicle before you are committed to leaving your vehicle for repairs?

In many similar businesses the concept of the "free inspection" or "free consultation" is almost taken for granted. Many lawyers, for example, will offer a free consultation if you have a legal problem. This practice is not very common in the car repair business, but there are shops that already offer it. In fact the same Denver auto repair shop that will sometimes provide a free rental car will also provide a preliminary inspection of your vehicle at no charge.
