My biggest mistake: not checking if they specialize in my car
I drive a German SUV and once went to a random garage for a suspension issue. They “fixed” it – or so I thought. A week later, the problem came back, worse than before. Took it to a shop that actually specialized in German cars, and they showed me the first place installed the wrong part altogether. I ended up paying twice. Lesson: not all garages are equal. Some are great with Japanese brands but clueless about others. Since then, I always ask upfront if they have experience with my car model and if they have the right diagnostic tools.
