Driverside.com -avoid auto repairs
Driverside.com is a new website that is a valuable free resource to help us to avoid costly auto repairs and help us to keep our cars longer. We have been “car payment free” for several years now and I am in no hurry to take on any new debt. Both of our cars have well over 100,00 miles on them so we try to stay on top of properly servicing and maintaining them. I know that a small investment now can save thousands of dollars in auto repair costs down the road.
DriverSide.com is dedicated to the car owner and has so many tools and free features to help us to avoid those costly auto repairs. According to their website, only 16% of Americans follow the basics of proactive car maintenance.
DriverSide.com has a diagnostic tool on their site that helps identify and determine the scope of common problems. Whether it is an easy “do it yourself ” fix or time to call a mechanic, the site will provide step-by-step solutions.
To begin, it is as easy as answering a series of specific questions to determine the cause of the problem. Once that has been established, DriverSide.com offers advice on how to get the problem fixed. They offer free “how-to” videos and can also send your information to one of the staff auto mechanics who will review the problem with you, for FREE.
The “ask a mechanic” feature allows you to ask questions to their certified mechanics, free of charge and they will respond to you within 48 hours.
There is also an alert feature so that once you register your vehicle with DriverSide.com, they will notify you when the manufacturer issues a recall notice and when the car needs scheduled maintenance.
Time to find a auto mechanic? you can choose among local mechanics based on your make and model as well as a user-contributed rating system.
Take a few minutes to tour the site and bookmark it for the next time your car needs a repair. I also recommend registering your vehicles and then let them send you a reminder when they need to serviced again. One less thing to worry about!
