Car repairs costs guidance

Sorting out car repair doesn't have to drain your bank balance if you have access to a reliable garage. The cleverest choice is to move towards using responsible mechanics who have industry specific skills - if you try to make a small saving by going with a cheaper option you might feel displeased with the work in the longer term. If you've been involved in a heavy car accident you won't have the technical skills to carry out the repairs single handedly. However, if it's a small problem you might be eager to have a go. Regular tasks, such as oil changing and filling up the water tank are child's play but repairing damages to the bodywork, bonnet or electrical transmission are best left to trained restoration mechanics.
