Taking your gaadi to a new workshop can feel stressful. Will they charge too much? Will they use duplicate parts? To help you protect your car and your wallet, Shailesh Bhai Prajapati has listed the 5 essential questions you should ask any mechanic before handing over your car keys.
1. 'Can you show me the exact issue on the car?'
A reliable mechanic should have no issues showing you the broken part while the car is on the hydraulic lift. If they claim your suspension bush is cracked, ask them to point it out. Seeing is believing, bhai!
If the workshop makes excuses or restricts customer entry into the work bay without a valid safety reason, be careful. Transparency is the hallmark of an honest workshop.
2. 'Will you use OEM, OES, or duplicate spares?'
Duplicate parts are cheaper but wear out fast and can damage other parts. Ensure the mechanic specifies what brand of spares they will use. Ask them to write 'Genuine OEM/OES Spares' on the job card.
At Lambodar Motors, we show the sealed brand boxes to the client before fitting. This builds trust and ensures you get exactly what you pay for.
3. 'Do you provide an itemized estimate before starting work?'
Never leave your car at a workshop with a verbal estimate like 'ho jayega, bhai.' A professional workshop will scan the car, make a list of parts and labor charges, and send you a detailed written estimate via WhatsApp.
If they discover additional issues during repair, they must call you and take your approval before adding them to the bill. No surprise totals at delivery!
Pro Tip from Shailesh Bhai: If a mechanic acts annoyed when you ask questions, take your car back. A good mechanic takes pride in explaining their work and educating the owner!
