I had to get my brakes fixed last month and, trust me, it’s quite the ride if you don’t know where to start. I went with a local garage my buddy recommended. First thing, ask about their mechanics’ qualifications and what kind of parts they use. I learned the hard way that cheap parts can mean double the trouble! Oh, and make sure they give you a solid warranty – it shows they’re confident in their work. Basically, you want someone who stands by their work and has good word-of-mouth in the community.
