Finding a Great Mechanic for Your Auto Repair

Hey Neighbors!

When it comes to your car, safety is paramount. If your car isn’t running properly or not maintained well, you, the passengers in your car, and other people on the road are in danger. When your car needs maintenance, repairs, and a little TLC, it’s essential you find a licensed and honest mechanic for your Austin auto repair. There’s an auto repair shop in every shopping complex in town, so how do you know which ones are ok to take your car to? Follow these steps and you’ll be sure to find the best mechanic.

Ask for Recommendations

Reliable and trustworthy mechanics are hard to come by, and your friends and neighbors know this. So ask around the neighborhood if anyone has a regular auto shop they feel confident in taking their car to. You can also call your car insurance company for help in your search. They will have a list of preferred mechanics in your area who will work with your insurance if your repairs are covered by your policy.

Reading online reviews is essential to finding a good local service of any type. Once you’ve gathered a few names, search for the auto shops online in places like Google Maps, Angie’s List, or City Search. Reading a few reviews will only take a couple of minutes and will give you invaluable insight as to what other paying customers have to say about local auto shops.

Check Their Training and Credentials

You want to make sure that any auto shop you take your car to has ASE certified mechanics. ASE stands for Automotive Service Excellence. Having this certification shows that the mechanic has completed their formal education, passed state exams and ASE exams, and is currently licensed to work as a mechanic in the state of Texas.

You should also ask the Austin auto repair shop how long they have been in business, how many certified mechanics they have on staff, and if they work weekends to get your car back to you sooner. Spending just a little time doing your research to find a good mechanic can save you hundreds of dollars in labor, time, and stress.

Baby First TV 'I Can Sign" First Words

Hey Neighbors! Here is a really neat gift idea for someone with a young child. Here we have I Can Sign (First Words) from Baby First TV. Now, I am just going to share right here that we have friends who have taught two of their children to sign at a very young age. And it works! Their children could sign before they could talk. The Dvd will teach your child many useful words that will be used in day to day life. Words like: eat, water, milk, cookie, ear, feet hands, kiss, sleep, book, mother, father, and many other words. Each word is taught in a short video clip where they will see pictures of the word/item and people signing. There is also a little character at the bottom corner of the video signing along. The Dvd can be done on English or Spanish. Also included on the Dvd are printable coloring pages that you can print off by inserting the Dvd into your computer. Inside the cover of the Dvd case is a little booklet that covers some of the words you and your child

What To Do About Those Fuzzy Uninvited Guests In The Home

When we talk about pests in the home, the most common that we tend to deal with are the creepy-crawlies that find their way in. Ants, termites, and spiders, for instance. Occasionally though, you have a real chance of getting a much bigger, fuzzier unwanted guest in the home. What do you do about the fact your home is at risk of becoming a wildlife sanctuary for some truly unhealthy and even dangerous beasts? Picture by Alexas_Fotos Know the signs It doesn’t matter if you’re in a suburban home, a country cottage, or a fourth-floor apartment. Some animals can find their way just about anywhere. It’s worth knowing the signs of pest infestation so you can confirm it and act on it immediately. Spotting droppings, keeping an ear out for scratching, and looking for signs of nesting like shredded paper, scrunched leaves, and grass clippings around the home without explanation can help you start fighting back.
