I'm the kind of person who gets really anxious about trying new places, especially when it comes to my car. I've had a few bad experiences in the past where I felt like the mechanic was just guessing instead of actually diagnosing the problem. Now my 2017 Kia Sportage needs some suspension work and I'm putting it off because I don't want to go through the stress of finding someone good. A friend told me I should click to explore a business listing for any garage I'm considering, to see their customer feedback and how long they've been operating. I thought that was actually a smart idea because anyone can have a nice website, but a business listing usually shows more honest information. For those of you who have found a mechanic you really trust, what made you decide to try them in the first place? Was it online reviews, a friend's recommendation, or something else? Also, when you go to a new garage for the first time, what are the red flags you watch out for? I want to know if there are signs that tell you to walk away before they even touch your car. I'm tired of feeling nervous every time I need a repair and I really want to find a place where I can just drop my car off and not worry that I'm getting ripped off or that the work won't be done right. Any advice from people who have figured this out would be really comforting right now because I can't keep ignoring this suspension noise forever.
