A lot of people have a hard time getting mechanics to take them seriously when reporting car problems. 

Does your mechanic seem to talk over you, or try to convince you that you're imagining problems?

Here's how to cut to the chase when your knowledge of cars is just about zilch.

At TyreHouse we do not just provide an excellent range of tyres and wheels. We also provide many other vehicle services such as oil changes and full servicing. We will also listen to you.

However there are some things to do that will help us help you.

Before you go in, call about the problem so that you can find out what kind of questions they're likely to ask or what information they'll need from you when you take your car in for its service.

Ask the service manager when is the best time to bring your car in so that you can have an unhurried chat about your vehicle.

Go over the problems with him and give him a written report of the problems.

Servicing your car on a regular basis is crucial for optimum petrol consumption and trouble free running of your car.

Some Additional things to remember

Do not take your frustrations out on the service manager or service advisor. They did not build or break your car. They are trying to help you get your car fixed!

Hopping from car dealer to car dealer hoping to find a miracle "cure" can be counter productive, sometimes it's better to stick with a team who knows your car's history. If you have had your car to more than one mechanic, be sure to provide as much history as possible to your current mechanic, including copies of your previous work orders if possible.

Remember that the mechanic who quotes you the cheapest price for a particular repair may not be the best. There can be huge differences in the quality of parts being used and in the warranty provisions for the repair.

To get your car serviced today be sure to contact the team at Tyrehouse.
