Honest mechanic in London Ontario

I get calls from clients looking for an honest mechanic in London Ontario . This can be a daunting task for some as the complexity of the modern day vehicle can be overwhelming . The honest approach in fixing cars can be hard for people to see eye to eye on so here is my advice and how we do things to explain . Some mechanical garages can say a part on a car is bad and they may be right , the problem is how bad and how soon should it be replaced ? How many other bad things are needed on the car ? What is the order of importance ? What will happen if it is not done ? What has the technician seen before as an outcome to what will happen ? Is it a safety hazard? Will it last a while ?
These questions come up and we do our best to prioritize , speculate and rate the issues as well as list them and also explain what our experience is with how things will go if not corrected . We type up computer invoices so it is clearly marked for a client to read our opinions . We take photographs or videos to try to explain things and we rate items on a scale of 1-10 (10 being the worst ) . Each technician has his own frame of reference when looking a car over and also in our province of Ontario we do have a ministry of transportation minimum fitness safety inspection set of guidelines that can be called upon for reference .
So the reason you are looking for an honest mechanic and can’t find one is answered this way .
The person you went to last maybe just didn’t have the lengthly experiences our technician mechanics have in our shop and or they had no system and plan on which to tell you and explain themselves .
