Not happy with the estimate your mechanic’s quoted you on your car’s repair? You have a few options, explains drivingdotca:
When it comes to getting an estimate for a repair or maintenance, you usually just shrug your shoulders, mutter “Whaddya gonna do?” and give your shop the green-light to proceed. Often, that’s because of the trust you’ve built with your mechanic, or your experience with similar jobs in the past.
In these situations, all you have to ask is if there’s a less expensive alternative that’ll do the job. Many suppliers offer different quality levels of the same part with varying warranties, and they all carry different prices. It’s sort of like the good, better and best plans — and you may not need or want the best. You also should ask what the benefits are when opting for your shop’s first choice over less expensive options.
