How to Hire a Auto Repair Pro in Erie

Use this interactive checklist to ensure you hire the right auto repair professional. Check off each item as you vet candidates.

0 of 12 completed0%

Automotive Service Excellence certification indicates the mechanic has passed rigorous competency tests.

1

Not all shops can perform PA safety and emissions inspections. Verify if you need this service.

2

Look for reviews mentioning your specific vehicle make or type of repair needed.

3

Quality shops offer at least a 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on parts and labor.

4

PA law requires shops to provide a written estimate and get your authorization before performing work.

5

Some shops waive diagnostic fees if you have the repair done there. Clarify upfront.

6

Some shops focus on specific makes (domestic, European, Asian). Specialization often means better expertise.

7

OEM parts match the original; quality aftermarket parts are often comparable at lower cost. Avoid cheap knockoffs.

8

Today's vehicles require computerized diagnostics. Ask about their scanner and programming capabilities.

9

Get an estimated completion time in writing. Ask if loaner vehicles or shuttle service are available.

10

AAA Approved Auto Repair shops meet quality standards and offer dispute resolution. BBB ratings indicate complaint history.

11

Save every receipt, estimate, and warranty document. Organized records help with future warranty claims.
