    5 Things To Know About Repairing Your Car

    Getting your car repaired can be an expensive and time-consuming process sometimes. Not knowing what to get done or how soon to fix things can delay this process even more, so here are a few tips to follow when your car needs repairs.

    1. Know Where to Get Repairs

    When it comes to most auto repairs, you will usually need to take your car to a local mechanic that you trust. But it’s important to remember that not every repair needs to go to a shop and that some services may be able to fix the problem in your own driveway.

    For example, with autoglass replacements, professionals can come to you. Understanding the problem with your car, and where you need to take it, will save you both time and money in the long term. 

    2. Get a Diagnostic Exam

    Getting a diagnostic exam when you take your car in for repairs is crucial. It can help you detect any additional problems your car may have that you have not noticed yet, which can save you money. 

    You may find some serious problems that need to be dealt with, or your mechanic may find that you need a simple service done, like changing your AC filters. Getting all your repairs done at once is usually cheaper than coming in for each problem individually.

    3. Get a Rental Car

    If you qualify for a covered loss, make sure you ask your insurance company to provide you with a rental car while yours is being repaired. This is especially important if your car is in the shop for several days. 

    If it is not a covered loss, make sure you either pay for a rental car yourself or find another way to arrange your rides. Whatever route you choose, make sure you find some way to get around while your car is being repaired. You may even be able to carpool with friends, but make sure you have a plan in place for the next time your car will be in the shop.

    4. Get Routine Maintenance Done

    Many people only take their car to the shop when something breaks and needs to be fixed, but you should also be getting routine maintenance checks every once in a while. Doing this will actually lower the chances of a breakdown, and help you avoid any serious problems with your car, saving you money in the long run. 

    The amount of miles you typically drive determines how often you should get maintenance, but you definitely should not just wait until something needs to be repaired. If you are getting an oil change soon, ask your mechanic when they think you should get maintenance done.

    5. Repair or Replace?

    You may think that repairing car parts instead of replacing them is always the best and cheapest option. However, sometimes getting a part repaired can actually cause damage to your vehicle, costing you even more in the long run than if you had just replaced the part. 

    That being said, there are still some car parts that can be repaired just fine. When you get repairs, simply ask your mechanic whether they think repairing or replacing would be best for the specific repairs you need.

    Conclusion

    There are many things to think about when your car needs repairs, and it can be stressful to keep it all together. As long as you keep these five things in mind, you will be sure to get everything done well. Remember, your mechanic went to school to fix cars, so their advice is always best to follow.

    • Looks like the new Mercedes-AMG S 63 E PERFORMANCE was spotted testing in South Africa 🇿🇦

That start-up sounds pretty damn promising!

This thing packs a whopping 791 hp (590 kW) and 1,430 Nm of torque.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
