Daniels Auto Care ASE Certified Mechanic's are schooled often.
They work hard to stay on top of industry technology and news.

ASE stands for Automotive Service Excellence, and they take their certification seriously.
If your mechanic opted to skip the ASE, this might reflect on their dedication to
keeping you happy as a customer. There are lots of good mechanics out there who aren't
certified by ASE, or even AAA, but why take the chance?

Be loyal to a good technician.
A good technician knows that he/she needs to provide you with honest, quality
work at a fair price if they want your loyalty. If you find a repair shop that does this, don't
"shop around."

Offer trust.
There are times that repairing the most immediate or obvious problem results in
identifying other, often more serious issues that could not be readily diagnosed
prior to the repair work. A good tech will communicate this possibility to you
during the diagnostic phase; be prepared and do not become defensive when it happens.
If you know your tech well, you should trust that s/he is telling you the truth,
and not just trying to "upsell" you. Remember: your tech didn't cause the problem -
he's just the messenger.

Take care of your car
Auto technicians do not relish telling their customers that they need expensive
repair work, especially if it is due to lack of proper maintenance.
What they do enjoy are customers that get their regularly-scheduled maintenance done,
i.e. oil changes, tune-ups, EFI cleanings, etc. These services add years to your car's life,
often result in better gas mileage, and give your tech the opportunity on a consistent basis
to look your car over for any fluid leaks or other "first tells" of more serious issues.
Early detection can often result in a much lower repair bill.

Realize that your tech cannot read minds.
If you have had your car somewhere else for repairs within the last 6 months,
tell your technician up-front exactly what was done. If you have noticed fluid under the car,
strange noises, running problems, or any other out-of-the-ordinary behavior, tell your tech
when you bring the car in.

Be honest about the problem.
Some people think that if they tell the mechanic too much the bill will be larger.
Just the opposite is true. Hiding symptoms may result in additional diagnosis
(which costs money) or worse, may result is an incomplete or improper repair.
Sharing everything you know about what the car is doing is the way
to the lowest possible repair bill.

Don't expect miracles.
Remember the old saying: Cheap, Fast, Good - pick two.
Are your expectations realistic? What is your #1 priority?
If you are hoping for that '85 Chevy with over 150K to "run like new," you might
want to evaluate your expectations a little bit.
