There’s no disputing that in the last several years, automobiles have become much more technologically advanced than most of us would have ever imagine. High-tech media systems, on-board computers, electronic ignitions and countless sensors are included in even the base models of many vehicles. Cars today are more reliable, fuel-efficient and eco-friendly than they were a decade ago, but when it comes to service and car repairs, some things still remain the same. Wherever you decide to take your vehicle – dealership, independent auto body shop, franchise facility or service station – ensure the business is reputable and make sure to communicate your issues and needs clearly.
1. Never drive a car that could be unsafe because of damages.
